Why do you need a helpdesk if you already have CRM? 

What enterprise software is installed in your company? CRM, project management system, help desk, ITSM system, 1C (you guessed right here)? Do you have a clear feeling that all these programs duplicate each other? In fact, there really is an overlap of functions; many issues can be resolved by a universal automation system - we are supporters of this approach. However, there are departments or groups of employees that […]

We are friends RaspberryPi with TP-Link TL-WN727N

Hello, Habr! I once decided to connect my raspberry to the Internet over the air. No sooner said than done, for this purpose I purchased a usb wi-fi whistle from the well-known company TP-Link from the nearest store. I’ll say right away that this is not some kind of nano usb module, but quite a dimensional device, about the size of a regular flash drive (or, if you prefer, the size of an adult’s index finger […]

AMA with Medium (Direct line with the developers of the Medium network)

Hello, Habr! On April 24, 2019, a project was born whose goal was to create an independent telecommunications environment on the territory of the Russian Federation. We called it Medium, which in English means “intermediary” (one possible translation option is “intermediate”) - this word is great for summarizing the concept of our network. Our common goal is to deploy a Mesh network […]

Educational channel in mathematics and data science dudvstud

Subscribe, it's interesting! 😉 How did this happen? Having gone through a difficult path from a graduate of the Faculty of Radiophysics, through an employee of a state scientific institution, a teacher of the author's special course at my favorite alma mater, I finally became a respected employee of the R&D department of a very cool startup in the field of augmented reality Banuba. Cool company, cool tasks, busy schedule, great conditions and pay... but after [...]

idea farm

1. There was little left to the final goal - about a third of the way - when the space cruiser came under severe information icing. What was left of the lost civilization hovered in the void. Paragraphs of scientific essays and images from literary works, scattered rhymes and simply sharp words, once thrown casually by unknown creatures - everything looked abstruse and extremely disordered. AND […]

Apple in 2019 is Linux in 2000

Note: This post is an ironic observation on the cyclical nature of history. This very observation does not have any practical use, but in its essence it is very apt, so I decided that it was worth sharing with the audience. And of course, we’ll meet in the comments. Last week, the laptop I use for MacOS development reported that […]

Mom, I'm on TV: how was the final of the "Digital Breakthrough" contest

What happens if you leave 3000+ IT specialists of different stripes in one huge territory? Our participants broke 26 mice, set a Guinness record and destroyed one and a half tons of chak-chak (perhaps they should have claimed another record). Two weeks have passed since the final of the “Digital Breakthrough” - we remember how it was and sum up the main results. The final of the competition took place in Kazan with [...]

Arch Linux prepares to implement zstd compression algorithm in pacman

Arch Linux developers have warned about their intention to enable support for the zstd compression algorithm in the pacman package manager. Compared to the xz algorithm, using zstd will speed up packet compression and decompression operations while maintaining the same level of compression. As a result, switching to zstd will lead to an increase in the speed of package installation. Support for packet compression using zstd will be coming in the release of pacman […]
