So 2020 has come - the year of the rat, mouse and other peripherals. The end of 2019 was an anniversary for the Intel blog - in February it turned and now we're almost eleven. During this time, we have published 1179 articles, 55 of them last year. However, something I sharply delved into the statistics - we have something to report on even without numbers. Let's remember all the good things that happened on the blog over the past year. But let's not talk about the bad - why do we need it?
We did a good job in the past year: we followed the news, covered important events, made announcements of events. Unfortunately, it was not possible to make hit posts at +100 or at least at +99 ... but we agreed not to talk about sad things. Better - about the fun: for April 1, we published a whole ! Of all the Intel blog traditions, April Fools posts are perhaps the most enduring. And New Year's posts, by the way, too.
Continuing the tradition, we are publishing a hit parade of the "most-most" articles of the past year.
- Top rated post (+45) — Author . In fact, important news, we are waiting for the continuation of the topic.
- Most commented post (78) и post with the most views (30) — Author . And this news is from the category of the most long-awaited - if the news were given prizes, definitely the winner of the nomination.
- Most Favorited Post (65) — Author . Training material from one of the developers of OpenCV - expertise is always valuable.
But with the number of subscribers there was a strange story. At the beginning of the year there were about 9 of them, and this number has been slowly growing. Slowly - somewhere until mid-April, and after that it sharply went up in a flat linear graph.
No, on the one hand, of course, we are pleased that we now have more than 22 readers. But on the other hand, it does not leave the feeling that something is not right here. We hope the administration will resolve our doubts. Invited to the topic . Help us please.
The New Year's NUCo-competition, which followed almost immediately after the previous NUCo-competition, not New Year's, became a spectacular end of the year for the blog. I would like to dwell on this topic in more detail. To begin with, I will note once again that we have never held competitions of this magnitude in our country. Do you think competition is easy? Only in one case: if you have already appointed a winner in advance. In all other cases, when you try to be objective and honest, it's damn hard. It is not easy to come up with rules to take into account all the possible nuances and hiccups, often conflicting interests of potential participants. It’s hard to change these rules on the go, because you didn’t take into account something anyway. It’s hard to judge when there are a lot of strong applications, but it’s not easier when there aren’t any at all…
One way or another, we gained invaluable experience, which will allow us, I hope, to make at least 28 fewer mistakes next time than the previous one. As for New Year's competition results, then they are.
Reader's Jury Prize Cyril F. with a story about "spatial 3D scanning on the knee." By the way, after the end of the voting, we returned the names of the authors (as they presented themselves in their applications). So now all the participants are co-authors of the Intel blog, their contribution will remain here forever. Write to me if you want to be renamed.
The authors of three excellent reviews receive special jury awards - as agreed, we will publish their articles on the Intel blog during January-February. As publication progresses, links to relevant materials will appear in the list below.
- Intel NUC for managing and analyzing data from the SDR receiver (author - Alexander Shkarlatov).
- Intel NUC as a pass in Unity3D (author - Michael D.)
- Industrial fanless PCs based on Intel NUC in object video analytics (author - Ilya Dushin ).
Well, the winner of the competition was Leonid Laitsky with an article on virtualization at home. We will publish his post first.
At the end of the competition topic, we want to say that we carefully study all the comments that you write. And we do not just notice, but we will try to take it into account in the next competitions.
See you in the new year! And thanks for the good company. And finally - a small teaser of the coming year.
