Doesn’t it seem strange that when you are about to change your job and need to go through an interview, your first thought is, "I need to prepare for the interview"? You might want to solve problems on HackerRank, read Crack the Coding Interview, or memorize how ArrayList works and how it differs from LinkedList. Oh, and they might also ask about sorting algorithms, definitely […]

The release of Zulip 2.1 has been introduced, a server platform for deploying corporate messengers suitable for facilitating communication among employees and development teams. The project was originally developed by Zulip and was made open-source after its acquisition by Dropbox under the Apache 2.0 license. The server-side code is written in Python using the Django framework. The client software is available for Linux, Windows, macOS, Android, and […]
In 2019, every household had heard of Ryzen processors. Indeed, chips based on the Zen architecture turned out to be very successful. The Ryzen 3000 series desktop processors are well-suited both for building a gaming system and for assembling powerful workstations. We see that, when it comes to AM4 and sTRX4 platforms, AMD is practically […]
Dear friends, I’m glad to see you again. I personally really missed our communication. My long absence from this resource was due to an extremely high influx of patients. Among them, I am pleased to note, were many readers of my previous articles. And even, I dare say, commentators! The occasion that inspired me to pick up the pen once again was the fact that […]
After a year of development, the release of the spam filtering platform — SpamAssassin 3.4.3 is now available. SpamAssassin implements a comprehensive approach in determining whether to block a message: the message undergoes a series of checks (context analysis, black and white lists DNSBL, trainable Bayesian classifiers, signature checks, sender authentication via SPF and DKIM, etc.). After evaluating the message through various methods, a certain weight is accumulated […]
Hello, Habr! I present to you the translation of the article "How to improve your programming skills" by Gaël Thomas. Here are the top 5 tips: 1. Set goals for yourself Goal setting increases a developer's productivity. Understand: Why you started programming What your programming goals are What dream you want to achieve by becoming a developer Everyone has personal goals, but I created a list of universal ideas for […]
Good day. It was very interesting to hear Gaël Thomas's opinion (I don't know the transcription) regarding improving programming skills. However, my personal experience suggests that this article misses the most important point. CLOSE HABR AND GO LEARN That's it. The entire secret: we read theory, we practice. We don't read articles about how to learn better or how to be successful. If you […]
The release of project QEMU 4.2 has been announced. As an emulator, QEMU allows you to run a program compiled for one hardware platform on a system with a completely different architecture, for example, running an application for ARM on an x86-compatible PC. In virtualization mode, QEMU's performance for executing code in an isolated environment is close to that of a native system due to direct instruction execution on the CPU and leveraging […]
Corrective releases for the distributed version control system Git 2.24.1, 2.23.1, 2.22.2, 2.21.1, 2.20.2, 2.19.3, 2.18.2, 2.17.3, 2.16.6, 2.15.4, and 2.14.6 have been published. These releases fix vulnerabilities that could allow an attacker to overwrite arbitrary paths in the file system, initiate remote code execution, or overwrite files in the '.git/' directory. Most issues were identified by the Microsoft Security Response Center, with five of the eight vulnerabilities […]
Intel has released a microcode update that addresses a vulnerability (CVE-2019-14607) allowing an attacker to manipulate the dynamic voltage and frequency scaling mechanism in the CPU, potentially leading to corruption of data stored in memory cells, including areas used for computations in Intel SGX isolated enclaves. This attack is named Plundervolt and could potentially allow a local user to escalate their privileges in the system, triggering […]
