The expansion of large cities and the formation of agglomerations is one of the significant trends in social development today. Moscow alone is expected to expand by 4 million square meters of housing in 2019 (not including the 15 municipalities that will join by 2020).

Microsoft is considering transferring the popular feature of the classic Edge browser to its new Chromium-based version. This concerns the password reveal feature (that eye icon).

Hi! In the comments to the review of the ONYX BOOX James Cook 2, which recently guest-posted on our blog, some were surprised that the device in 2019 comes without a touchscreen (Carl!). But for some, this is strange, while others specifically look for a reader only with physical buttons: for example, elderly people find it easier to handle something they can feel; an accidental swipe […]

Not long ago, I needed to write several Ansible playbooks to prepare a server for deploying a Rails application. Surprisingly, I couldn't find a simple step-by-step manual. I didn't want to copy someone else's playbook without understanding what was happening, and in the end, I had to read the documentation, piecing everything together myself. Perhaps I can help someone speed up this process with this […]
