To express what words cannot convey; to feel the most diverse emotions intertwining in a whirlwind of feelings; to be detached from the earth, the sky, and even the universe itself, embarking on a journey with no maps, no roads, no signs; to create, narrate, and experience an entire story that will always remain unique and unrepeatable. All of this is made possible by music — an art form that has existed for many […]

While GlobalFoundries has left AMD alone in the race for 7nm technology standards […]

Gamification Mechanics: Skill Tree

Hello, Habr! We continue the discussion on gamification mechanics. The last article talked about rankings, and in this one, we'll discuss skill trees (technology trees, skill tree). Let's consider how skill trees are used in games and how this mechanic can be applied in gamification. A skill tree is a specific case of a technology tree, a concept that first appeared in the tabletop game Civilization […]

Google is testing a new social network

Clearly, Google is not willing to give up on the idea of its own social network. Just recently, Google+ was shut down, and now the "good corporation" has begun testing Shoelace. This is a new social interaction platform that differs from Facebook, "VKontakte," and others. The developers position it as a solution for offline. That is, through Shoelace, it is proposed to find friends and like-minded people in the real world. It is expected that […]
