Fast food, quick results, rapid growth, high-speed internet, fast learning… Speed has become an integral part of our daily lives. We want everything to be simpler, faster, and better. The constant need for more time, speed, and productivity drives innovative technologies. And Armenia plays a significant role in this context. For instance, nobody wants to spend […]
In our previous publication, we discussed how buses and protocols function in industrial automation. This time, we will focus on modern workplace solutions: examining the protocols used in systems worldwide. We will look into the technologies of German companies Beckhoff and Siemens, Austrian B&R, American Rockwell Automation, and Russian Fastwel. Additionally, we will explore universal solutions that are not tied to […]
An experimental release of the open Win32 API implementation — Wine 4.19 — is now available. Since the release of version 4.18, 41 bug reports have been closed and 297 changes have been made. The most significant changes include: Enhanced capabilities for VBScript: functions String, LBound, RegExp.Replace have been added. New expressions have been implemented; in WineD3D, functions wined3d_stateblock_set_sampler_state() and wined3d_stateblock_set_texture_stage_state() have been added. StateBlock handling has been implemented in calls d3d9_device_SetSamplerState(), d3d9_device_SetTextureStageState(), […]
Mozilla, Cloudflare, and Facebook have jointly announced a new TLS extension, Delegated Credentials (DC), which addresses the issue with certificates when accessing a website through content delivery networks. Certificates issued by certification authorities have long validity periods, creating difficulties when access to a site is required through a third-party service, on behalf of which a secure connection must be established, since the certificate transfer […]
This interview was included in the anthology The Playboy Interview: Moguls, which also features conversations with Jeff Bezos, Sergey Brin, Larry Page, David Geffen, and many others. Playboy: We survived 1984 — computers didn't take over the world, although not everyone may agree with this. The widespread adoption of computers can primarily be attributed to you, […]
In one of the chats, I was asked: — Is there anything to read about how to properly pack servers into racks? I realized I don't know of such a text, so I wrote my own. First of all, this text is about physical servers in physical data centers (DCs). Secondly, let's assume there are quite a few servers: hundreds or thousands; this text doesn't make sense for a smaller number. Thirdly, […]
The full migration has been announced, with primary reasons cited as limited hardware support and poor availability of software packages in FreeBSD. It is promised that there will be better support for GPUs, sound cards, streaming, and wireless networks, as well as Bluetooth support, always fresh updates, fast booting, and support for Hybrid EFI/Legacy. The reason for the switch to Void highlights runit (impressed by the speed and simplicity of the initialization system), LibreSSL […]
Today, the annual report of the Swift Server Work Group (SSWG) was made available. This group was created a year ago to explore and prioritize the needs of developers of server solutions using Swift. The group follows a so-called incubation process for adopting new modules for the language, where developers bring ideas and work with the community and SSWG to bring them to acceptance in the server […]
Currently, Google dominates the browser market with a share of over 60%, and its Chrome has become the de facto standard, particularly for developers. The essence is that Google provides a multitude of tools that assist web developers and simplify their work. In the latest beta version, Chrome 79 introduced support for the new WebXR API for creating VR content. In other words, […]
My colleagues and I thought: why not recall some of the horror stories faced by people in data center construction instead of focusing on successes and interesting projects before our favorite horror holiday? So, turn off the lights, play some suspenseful music, and here come the stories that still sometimes make us wake up in a cold sweat. 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 […]
Continuing the once-raised topic of gaming artificial intelligence in our blog, let's discuss how applicable machine learning is to it and in what form. Jacob Rasmussen, an AI expert at Apex Game Tools, shared his experiences and solutions based on them. In recent years, there has been much discussion about how machine learning fundamentally […]
