Building a Telegram bot in Yandex Cloud

Today, using readily available materials, we will build a Telegram bot in Yandex Cloud using Yandex Cloud Functions (or Yandex Functions for short) and Yandex Object Storage (for clarity). The code will be in Node.js. However, there is one intriguing circumstance — an organization called, let’s say, RossComCensorship (censorship is prohibited by Article 29 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation), does not allow internet providers […]

Why it is important to inform the candidate what went wrong during the interview (and how to do it correctly)

One of the most frustrating aspects of technical interviews is that they function as a black box. Candidates are only told whether they have progressed to the next stage, without any details on why that decision was made. The lack of feedback or constructive commentary not only frustrates candidates but is also detrimental to businesses. We conducted extensive research on the topic of feedback and […]

Real estate market analysis based on data from msgr.ru

I recently faced the problem of choosing an apartment and, of course, the first thing I wanted to do was check what’s happening in the real estate market. As usual, half of the experts on youtube.com say that real estate prices will rise, while the other half insists that prices will fall. In the end, I decided to figure things out myself, and here’s what came of it. © Designed by upklyak / Freepik […]

Paul Graham: "The Top Idea in Your Mind"

Recently, I realized that I had underestimated the importance of what people think about in the shower in the mornings. I always knew that great ideas often come to mind at this time. Now I will say more: you are unlikely to achieve anything truly remarkable if you don't think about it in the shower. Probably everyone who has worked on complex […]

More on improper testing

One day I accidentally came across some code that a user was trying to use to monitor RAM performance in their virtual machine. I won’t present the code (it's lengthy), but I'll leave only the most important parts. So, here’s the code! #include #include #include #define CNT 1024 #define SIZE (1024*1024) int main() { struct timeval start; struct timeval end; […]

Slurm SRE. A continuous experiment with experts from Booking.com and Google.com

Our team loves experiments. Each Slurm is not a static repetition of the previous ones, but rather an understanding of experience and a transition from good to better. However, with Slurm SRE, we decided to apply a completely new format — to provide participants with conditions as close as possible to 'combat' ones. To briefly outline what we did during the intensive session: 'We build, break, fix, and learn.' SRE is worth little […]
