The Khronos Group, responsible for developing the specifications for the OpenGL, Vulkan, and OpenCL families, has announced the completion of the OpenCL 3.0 specifications, defining the API and extensions of the C language for cross-platform parallel computing using multi-core CPUs, GPUs, FPGAs, DSPs, and other specialized chips, ranging from those used in supercomputers and cloud servers to chips that can be found in […]
The developers of the Clear Linux distribution have announced a change in the project's development strategy. The primary focus will now be on server and cloud systems, which will receive the most attention. Components for the workstation edition will continue to be supported on a residual basis. Package delivery for desktop environments will continue, but these packages will offer baseline versions of user environments, without specific […]

I've wanted to write an article on microservice architecture for a long time, but I was always held back by two things— the deeper I delved into the subject, the more it seemed to me that what I know is obvious, and what I don't know still requires extensive study. On the other hand, I believe there is already much to discuss in-depth […]
I want to share with the community a simple and effective way to protect your network and the services exposed through Mikrotik from external attacks. Specifically, we'll set up a honeypot on Mikrotik with just three rules. So, let's imagine we have a small office with an external IP behind which there is an RDP server for remote employee access. The first rule is, of course, […]
Webinar, April 29, 2020, 10:00 AM - 1:00 PM We invite you to discover a modern data storage solution. Over several sessions, you will learn about Microsoft Azure components for building a seamless analytical solution. The sessions will focus on the processes: from collecting and transforming data from various sources using Azure Data Factory, to storing data based on Azure Synapse, and presenting it to users with Power BI. […]
Microservices architecture, like everything in this world, has its advantages and disadvantages. Some processes become simpler with it, while others become more complex. In the name of speed of change and better scalability, sacrifices must be made. One of these sacrifices is the complexity of analytics. While in a monolith, all operational analytics can be reduced to SQL queries to an analytical replica, […]
Hello, Habr! We continue to explore the topic of Java and Spring, including at the database level. Today, we offer you to read about why, when designing large applications, the database structure, rather than Java code, should be decisive, how this is done, and what exceptions exist to this rule. In this rather overdue article, I will explain […]
InkyPen Comics and publisher Kodansha have teamed up to provide Nintendo Switch owners the ability to read popular series of Japanese manga directly on the handheld-console hybrid. Fortunately, the device's touchscreen is well-suited for this. Aside from an impressive library of games, Nintendo Switch offers little else to users through its interface (there's not even a full-fledged web browser or Netflix). However, the platform is quickly growing its player base and […]
