The Office Ghost In one office building, we were constructing a server room, […]
I came across some interesting material about artificial intelligence in games. It explains basic concepts of AI using simple examples, and contains many useful tools and methods for its convenient development and design. It also discusses how, where, and when to use them. Most examples are written in pseudocode, so deep programming knowledge isn't required. Under the cut, 35 […]

An installation image of 663 MB (x86, amd64) has been prepared for download. Unlike other desktop builds of FreeBSD, the MidnightBSD OS has originally developed […].
A corrective update for Firefox 70.0.1 has been released, addressing an issue that causes crashes when opening certain pages or loading specific elements on pages via JavaScript. This problem also appears on sites like YouTube and Facebook due to corruption of content in the new LocalStorage (NextGen) implementation.

OpenBGPD has been tested on Debian 9, Ubuntu 14.04, and FreeBSD 12. The development of OpenBGPD is supported by the regional […]
Good day, dear Habr readers! Continuing the trend of emigration, I would like to share my personal experience, which may be useful to others. I will try to divide the post into two parts, the first of which will focus on practical information, while the second will delve into my own feelings. Part one. The Process. In my case, the process of registration was quite simple (due to the absence of a wife […]
The developers of Firefox have decided to discontinue support for extensions that are installed through direct file copying to the extensions directory (/usr/lib/mozilla/extensions/, /usr/share/mozilla/extensions/, or ~/.mozilla/extensions/), which is processed by all instances of Firefox in the system (regardless of user). This method is usually applied for pre-installing extensions in distributions, substituting extensions during the installation of some application in the system, or for isolated delivery of an extension […]

The total development time for a major release will be 17 months. Work on the new branch will be […]
