A few hours ago, the Erlang team announced the next release of the programming language and the entire platform. Let me remind you that Erlang/OTP is designed for creating highly scalable systems operating in soft real-time mode with high availability requirements. The platform has long been successfully used in sectors such as telecommunications, banking, e-commerce, telephony, and instant messaging. The main changes in this […]
Attention, report! The first one to find all the "Easter eggs" gets a karma boost 😉 It seems rather inconvenient that flights from London arrive in Moscow at five in the morning. The same goes for flights from Amsterdam. Strangely enough, Scandinavian Airlines also operates on an inhumane schedule. Only passengers from a star-striped country disembark, albeit sleepily, […]
16 modems, 4 mobile operators = Outgoing speed 933.45 Mbps Introduction Hello! This article is about how we developed a new monitoring system for ourselves. It differs from existing ones by allowing high-frequency synchronous metric retrieval and has a very low resource consumption. The polling frequency can reach 0.1 milliseconds with synchronization accuracy of 10 nanoseconds between metrics. All binary files occupy […]
Epigraph: "When you have a hammer in your hand, everything around seems like nails." A long time ago, it seems – last Friday, while wandering around the office surroundings, the wayward management got concerned that I was spending my time idly contemplating cats. "Why don't you load the FIAS, dear colleague!" said the management. "For the process of loading it seems to be […]
The distributed computing and big data market, according to statistics, is growing by 18-19% per year. Thus, the question of software selection for these purposes remains relevant. In this post, we will start with why distributed computing is needed, take a closer look at software selection, discuss the application of Hadoop using Cloudera, and finally talk about hardware selection and what […]

Early in the morning (or late at night) on January 9, I arrived at Sheremetyevo Airport to meet Josh Calderimis from Travis-CI. The printed sign with his name was left at home, but by a stroke of luck, we met Josh almost immediately and his first phrase was: "Toster? I am hungry, you got toasts?" I won't say that this question, asked with […]
Today I am once again pleased to present some useful tips from my colleague Evgeny Ivanov, the team lead of Veeam's technical support team. This time, Zhenya shared recommendations for working with backups and replicas. I hope these will help you avoid common mistakes, and your replicas and backups will never become the "weak link" in the recovery process if needed. So, […]
In the architecture of x86 platforms, two currents have emerged that mutually complement each other. One version suggests moving towards integration of computational and control resources within a single crystal. The second approach advocates the distribution of responsibilities: the processor is equipped with a high-performance bus that forms a peripheral scalable ecosystem. This lays the foundation for the topology of Intel C620 system logic for high-level platforms. The fundamental difference from the previous chipset […]
Anyone who has assembled, purchased, or at least tuned a radio receiver has probably heard terms like: sensitivity and selectivity. Sensitivity indicates how well your receiver can pick up a signal even in the most remote areas. Selectivity, in turn, shows how well the receiver can tune into a particular frequency without the influence of other frequencies. […]
Recently, Google released Chrome 74, one of the most controversial updates for the world's most popular web browser. This is particularly true for Windows 10. As known, this version introduced a dark mode that changes in accordance with the OS theme. This means you won't be able to set a dark theme for the OS and a light theme for the browser at the same time […]
Almost all of us use online shopping services, which means that sooner or later we risk becoming victims of JavaScript sniffers — special code that malicious actors embed on websites to steal credit card information, addresses, usernames, and passwords from users. Nearly 400,000 users of British Airways' website and mobile application, as well as visitors to the British sports website, have already suffered from sniffers […]
