Offshore for IT Business in Georgia: Life Hacks and Pitfalls

Singapore, Cyprus, China, the Netherlands — these are the countries that first come to mind when talking about offshore locations for IT companies. But in this article, I will discuss a country that borders Russia and surprisingly offers very attractive conditions for startup companies in the IT sector. Tried and tested! Let's go? Gamardzhoba, geniatsvale! The necessity to open my own IT company arose from […]

The Forgotten Generation of Relay Computers

In our previous article, we described the rise of automatic telephone exchanges controlled by relay circuits. This time, we want to share how scientists and engineers developed relay circuits in the first—now forgotten—generation of digital computers. Relays at their peak If you remember, relays operate on a simple principle: an electromagnet manipulates a metal switch. […]

A cryptographic hash function BLAKE3 is available, which is 10 times faster than SHA-2

The final implementation of the BLAKE3 algorithm has been released, providing a cryptographic hash function designed for applications such as file integrity checks, message authentication, and generating data for digital signatures. BLAKE3 is not intended for password hashing (for passwords, yescrypt, bcrypt, scrypt, or Argon2 should be used), as it aims for the fastest hash calculation with guaranteed absence of collisions and protection against pre-image attacks […]

Mozilla tests Firefox Voice voice control system

Mozilla has begun testing the Firefox Voice extension, which implements an experimental voice navigation system that allows the use of voice commands to perform standard actions in the browser. Currently, only English language commands are supported. To activate, click on the indicator in the address bar and issue a voice command (the microphone is off in the background). Standard voice control systems […]

Fundamentals of zmq in Python, creating a simple key/value store

Introduction Let’s discuss an example of a simple key/value storage system, like memcache. It's simply structured — data is stored in memory, in a hashmap. Access to it is done via a TCP socket. In Python, a hashmap is a standard dict. We will use ZeroMQ for access. Setup To install this package on Debian/Ubuntu, just enter the following in the console: sudo apt-get install libzmq-dev sudo […]
