.toster: Javascript supported!

Attention, report! The first one to find all the "Easter eggs" gets a karma boost 😉 It seems rather inconvenient that flights from London arrive in Moscow at five in the morning. The same goes for flights from Amsterdam. Strangely enough, Scandinavian Airlines also operates on an inhumane schedule. Only passengers from a star-striped country disembark, albeit sleepily, […]

Google Chrome 74 Has Forgotten How to Delete History

Recently, Google released Chrome 74, one of the most controversial updates for the world's most popular web browser. This is particularly true for Windows 10. As known, this version introduced a dark mode that changes in accordance with the OS theme.

Why You Should Participate in Hackathons

About a year and a half ago, I started participating in hackathons. During this time, I have taken part in more than 20 events of various scales and themes in Moscow, Helsinki, Berlin, Munich, Amsterdam, Zurich, and Paris. In all these events, I focused on data analysis in one form or another. I enjoy visiting new cities for myself […]

The dark side of hackathons

In the previous part of this trilogy, I discussed several reasons to participate in hackathons. The motivation to learn a lot of new things and win valuable prizes attracts many, but often due to the mistakes of the organizers or sponsoring companies, the event ends unsuccessfully and participants leave dissatisfied. To minimize such unpleasant cases, I have written this post. The second part of the trilogy is dedicated to the mistakes of the organizers. This post is organized as follows […]
