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. Having access to your access.log file, understanding the statistics is very simple and to implement quite basic tools such as sqlite, html, sql language and any script […]

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”). If you do not yet find a flaw in the reasoning, then […]

Project contests: what, why and why?

Typical KDPV It's August outside the window, school is behind us, and university is coming soon. The feeling that an entire era has passed does not leave me. But what you want to see in the article is not lyrics, but information. So I won’t delay and tell you about a rare topic for Habr - about school project competitions. Let’s talk more specifically about IT projects, but all the information [...]

Information disappointment

Legitimized by forces legitimized for this (and, as will be seen, temporarily) mainstreamness and capricious, legitimized by the same hand, marginality are eternal historical cohabitants and allies, alternately intercepting the notorious free will (which, moreover, this freedom is often denied) – must base their relationships on the principle of dominance, and nothing else – after all, it contains the arch-key […]

Matrix: 20 years later

This year, science fiction fans are celebrating the 20th anniversary of the premiere of The Matrix trilogy. By the way, did you know that the film was seen in the USA in March, but it only reached us in October 1999? A lot has been written and said on the topic of Easter eggs embedded inside. I was interested in comparing what was shown in the film with what […]

Alexey Savvateev: Jean Tirol Nobel Prize for the analysis of imperfect markets (2014) and collective reputation

If I were giving the Nobel Prize to Jean Tirole, I would give it for his game-theoretic analysis of reputation, or at least include it in the formulation. It seems to me that this is a case where our intuition fits the model well, although it is difficult to test this model. This is from a series of those models that are difficult or impossible to verify and falsify. But the idea seems completely […]
