This post is dedicated to Children's Day. Any coincidences are purely coincidental. At the age of 10, I got my first computer and a disk with Visual Studio 6. Since then, I've been coming up with little tasks for myself—automating errands, building some web service for three people, or writing a game that will later be removed from the Play Store due to age. Of course, I lost the source codes and […]

Surely many of you know or have even seen how large automated facilities are managed, such as a nuclear power plant or a factory with multiple production lines: the main activities often take place in a large room filled with screens, lights, and control panels. This control complex is usually referred to as the GShU — the main control panel for monitoring the production facility. You must have been curious about […]
