Today I want to talk about what a "number" is. Digital transformation, digital assets, digital product... These words are heard everywhere today. In Russia, national programs are launched and even the ministry is renamed, but reading articles and reports one comes across all round phrases and slurred definitions. And recently, at work, I was at a "high-level" meeting where representatives of a respected […]

A few years ago, Fabrice Bellard wrote jslinux, a PC emulator written in JavaScript. After that there was at least Virtual x86. But all of them, as far as I know, were interpreters, while Qemu, written much earlier by the same Fabrice Bellard, and, probably, any self-respecting modern emulator, uses JIT compilation of guest code into […]
“I created OASIS because I felt uncomfortable in the real world. Didn't know how to get along with people. I've been afraid all my life. Until I realized that the end was near. It was only then that I realized that while reality can be brutal and scary, it remains the only place where you can find true happiness. Because reality […]

Continuation of the story "Programmer Career". 2008 year. Global economic crisis. It would seem, what does a lone freelancer from a deep province have to do with it? It turned out that even small businesses and start-ups in the West were also impoverished. And these were my direct and potential clients. On top of that, I finally got my bachelor's degree from university and other things besides freelancing - […]
