An Inside Look: RFID in the Modern World. Part 1: RFID in the home

More RFID tags for the RFID tag god! Almost 7 years have passed since the publication of the article about RFID tags. Over the years of traveling and staying in different countries, a huge number of RFID tags and smart cards have accumulated in my pockets: secure cards (for example, permits or bank cards), ski passes, public transport passes, without which in some Netherlands, well no way at all, [...]

I've been wanting to share my script for automating setup for a long time. Windows 10 (Currently the current version is 18362), but I've never gotten around to it. Perhaps someone will find it useful in its entirety or just parts of it. Of course, it would be difficult to describe all the settings, but I'll try to highlight the most important ones. If anyone is interested, you're welcome to read the article. Introduction I've been wanting to share […]

How I worked in Turkey and got to know the local market

An object on a ā€œfloatingā€ foundation for protection against earthquakes. My name is Pavel, I manage a network of commercial data centers at CROC. Over the past 15 years, we have built more than a hundred data centers and large server rooms for our customers, but this facility is the largest of its kind abroad. It is located in Turkey.

Changing in line with digital transformation, businesses are experiencing needs that they did not have just a few years ago. For example, the need to manage not only how groups of working machines function, but also the connection of IoT elements, mobile devices, as well as corporate services, which […]

How to look Cassandra in the eye without losing data, stability, and faith in NoSQL

They say that everything in life is worth trying at least once. And if you are used to working with relational DBMSs, then it is worth getting acquainted with NoSQL in practice, first of all, at least for general development.

Assembly Android-project in a Docker container

Developing a project for the platform Android, even the smallest one, sooner or later has to deal with the development environment. In addition Android The SDK requires the latest version of Kotlin, Gradle, platform-tools, and build-tools. And if on the developer's machine, all these dependencies are largely resolved using Android Studio IDE, then on the CI/CD server, each update can turn into […]

"The best thing I've done in my career is send the job to hell." Chris Dancy on turning all life into data

I have a fierce aversion to everything related to ā€œself-developmentā€ - life coaches, gurus, talkative motivators. I want to demonstratively burn ā€œself-helpā€ literature on a big bonfire. Without a drop of irony, Dale Carnegie and Tony Robbins infuriate me - more than psychics and homeopaths. It physically pains me to see how some ā€œThe Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ckā€ becomes a super-bestseller, and fucking Mark Manson writes […]
