Hello, Habr readers! Recently, I had the opportunity to attend quite a few interviews and even receive offers from some well-known, and a few lesser-known, European companies. However, today I'm not going to discuss how to prepare for tricky programming tasks or how to better demonstrate soft skills. Today, we'll talk about open source and employment contracts, […]
On November 22, the jury and experts of the 'Senezh' Management Workshop announced their final verdict on the teams that have been developing projects for two months as part of the pre-acceleration program. They slept little and worked a lot — but that's always the case when ... In this post, we will summarize the key results of the pre-acceleration program — did we manage to achieve all the goals we set for the completion of […]
Steve Langasek from Canonical summarized the results of discussions with the community regarding the list of libraries for the i386 architecture, which will be provided in a layer to ensure compatibility with 32-bit applications in Ubuntu 20.04 'Focal Fossa'. Out of more than 30,000 source packages, about 1,700 were selected for which 32-bit builds for the i386 architecture will continue to be formed. Mostly […]
A new release of the Bubblewrap 0.4.0 toolkit is available, designed for creating isolated environments in Linux and operating at the application level for unprivileged users. In practice, Bubblewrap is used by the Flatpak project as a layer for isolating applications launched from packages. The project code is written in C and is distributed under the LGPLv2+ license. Traditional Linux container isolation technologies are used […]
The release of Open CASCADE Technology (OCCT) 7.4.0 is now available, a software product with a twenty-year history, combining a set of libraries and tools for software development focused on 3D modeling, especially for Computer-Aided Design (CAD) systems. Starting from version 6.7.0, the source code is distributed under the GNU LGPL 2.1 license. OCCT primarily represents a single, up-to-date core for geometry […]
The release of the Kallithea 0.5 repository management system has been announced, developed by enthusiasts and representatives of the Software Freedom Conservancy to continue the development of the free codebase of RhodeCode after this platform became a semi-proprietary commercial product. Kallithea allows you to deploy development management infrastructure, which supports Git and Mercurial version control systems, and resembles GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket in the tasks it addresses. Code […]

In the previous article, we discussed time series forecasting. A logical continuation would be an article on anomaly detection. Applications of anomaly detection are used in areas such as: 1) Predicting equipment failures In 2010, Iranian centrifuges were attacked by the Stuxnet virus, which set the equipment to an suboptimal operating mode and caused part of it to break down due to accelerated wear. If […]
The release of the GNU Mes 0.21 toolkit, which facilitates the bootstrapping process for GCC, has been presented. This toolkit addresses the challenge of verified initial compiler builds in distributions, breaking the cycle of recursive compilation (where executable files from an already built compiler are required to build the compiler). GNU Mes offers a self-hosting interpreter for the Scheme language, written in C, and a simple compiler for C (MesCC), […]
1. Flask is a micro-framework written in Python. It lacks built-in validation for forms and database abstraction layers, but allows you to use third-party libraries for common functions. This is why it’s considered a micro-framework. Flask is designed for simple and rapid application development, and it is scalable and lightweight. It is based on the Werkzeug and Jinja2 projects. You can […]
The release of the LibreELEC 9.2 project, which develops a fork of the OpenELEC distribution for home theater systems, has been announced. The user interface is built on the Kodi media center. Images are prepared for downloading to work with USB drives or SD cards (32- and 64-bit x86, Raspberry Pi 1/2/3, various devices on Rockchip and Amlogic chips). With LibreELEC, you can turn any computer into a media center and work with […]
