New article: Top 10 smartphones under 10 thousand rubles (2019)

We keep talking about stagnation in the world of gadgets - almost nothing new, they say, is happening, technology is marking time. In some ways, this picture of the world is correct - the form factor of smartphones itself has more or less settled down, and there have been no grandiose breakthroughs in either productivity or interaction formats for a long time.

During interviews, boring questions often arise about inodes, everything-is-files, which few people can answer sanely. But if you dig a little deeper, you can find interesting things.

Others recall a series of vulnerabilities in recent years with telling abbreviations (DROWN, FREAK, POODLE...), stylish logos and a warning to urgently update your browser. Cryptography covers all of this, but the point is different. The point is there is a fine line between [...]

Site statistics and your small storage

Webalizer and Google Analytics have helped me gain insight into what's happening on websites for many years. Now I understand that they provide very little useful information.

Multi-model DBMS - the basis of modern information systems?

Modern information systems are quite complex. Not least of all, their complexity is due to the complexity of the data processed in them. The complexity of data often lies in the variety of data models used. So, for example, when data becomes “big”, one of the problematic characteristics is not only its volume (“volume”), but also its variety (“variety”).
