The biggest transport problem in St. Petersburg is the bridges. At night, you have to rush out of the pub before finishing your beer because of them. Or pay twice the usual taxi fare. In the morning, you need to carefully calculate your time so that as soon as the bridge opens, you can quickly make it to the station like a nimble mongoose. The option of ‘staying somewhere in the center near the station’ is not […]
Welcome, Habr! Once upon a time, we were the first to introduce the Kafka topic to the Russian market, and we continue to monitor its development. In particular, we found the interaction between Kafka and Kubernetes interesting. An overview (and quite cautious) article on this topic was published in the Confluent company blog last October, authored by Gwen Shapiro. Today, we […]
Despite the fact that Intel has yet to release the long-awaited 10nm Ice Lake processors, it is already actively working on their successors — Tiger Lake. One such processor was discovered by the well-known leak source under the pseudonym KOMACHI ENSAKA in the UserBenchmark performance testing database. To start, let's remind that the release of the Tiger Lake processors is expected in […]
The Windows 10 operating system includes various troubleshooting tools that allow you to either save files or perform a clean reinstall of the system. However, it seems that the folks in Redmond are experimenting with other recovery formats. After all, a bootable USB drive or DVD is not always at hand, nor is there access to another computer. In the latest build of Windows 10 Insider Preview, numbered 18950, a section was discovered […]

The release of Wi-Fi daemon IWD 0.19 (iNet Wireless Daemon), developed by Intel as an alternative to wpa_supplicant for connecting Linux systems to wireless networks, is now available. IWD can serve as a backend for network configurators such as Network Manager and ConnMan. A key goal of developing this new Wi-Fi daemon is to optimize resource consumption, such as memory usage and disk size. IWD […]
It's been 'a thousand years' since I've written anything, but suddenly there was an unexpected reason to dust off the mini-series of publications on 'Starting Data Science from Scratch.' In a contextual advertisement on one of the social networks, as well as on my favorite 'Habr', I came across information about the course 'Start in Data Science.' It cost a mere pittance, and the course description was vibrant and promising. 'Why […]
We are launching a new course for beginners — "Start in Data Science." For just 990 rubles, you will dive into Data Science: learn about specializations, choose a profession, and enhance your skills in working with data. Data Science is the science of data and its analysis. Many believe that entering this field is very difficult: tedious, lengthy, and requires a physics or math education. But […]
Good afternoon, colleagues. The time has finally come to fulfill my promise and share how everything continued and concluded. I apologize for the delay. There will be 2 parts: RMX1500 CMA4000 The text below will contain a lot of letters and may provoke a misjudgment of my attitude towards this decision. In conclusion, I will reveal that I have a neutral but positive view of Polycom, […]
Who is this article for? This article may be of interest to system administrators facing the task of creating a service for 'one-time' workstations. Prologue A request was made to the IT support department of a young, rapidly developing company with a small regional network to establish 'self-service stations' for their external clients. These stations were intended for registration on the company's external portals, uploading […]
Why do you need special software for technical support, especially if you already have a bug tracker, CRM, and email? Hardly anyone thinks about this, because companies with strong technical support have likely had a helpdesk system for a long time, while others handle client inquiries and requests 'on the fly,' often just via email. This can lead to […]
Do you love repeating routine operations over and over? Well, I certainly don't. But every time I worked with the Rostelecom storage in an SQL client, I had to manually write out all the joins between the tables. In fact, in 90% of cases, the fields and conditions for joining the tables matched from query to query! It would seem that any SQL client has auto-completion features, but […]
