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 […]
During the work on the remaster of the popular strategy Command & Conquer, Electronic Arts discovered that it had lost the original voice recordings of the narrator from the first game in the franchise. As a result, all dialogues had to be re-recorded. For authenticity, the publisher involved Kia Huntzinger, who provided the voice in the first Command & Conquer. It was her voice that commented on the in-game events. […]
Once again, everyone is discussing the 'first in Russia' SuperApp, this time from Tinkoff. Recently marked the anniversary of one of the first SuperApps—the 'Gosuslugi Moscow' application, where you can pay for parking and fines, submit utility readings, make a doctor’s appointment, and check your child's homework and grades. Following their lead, federal government services added the word 'super' (super-services […]
There are many articles on Habr about how to independently study English. But here's the question: how do you assess your level when learning on your own? It's clear that there are IELTS and TOEFL, but almost no one takes these tests without additional preparation, and these tests, as they say, evaluate not so much the level of language proficiency, but rather the ability to pass […]
The dynamic loader ld.so, included in OpenBSD, under certain conditions may leave the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable for SUID/SGID applications, thus allowing third-party code to be loaded in the context of a process running with elevated privileges. Patches fixing this vulnerability are available for versions 6.5 and 6.6. Binary patches (syspatch) for amd64, i386, and arm64 platforms have already been released into production and […]
