Preface: By fate, I transitioned from the world of academic science (medicine) to the world of information technology, where I have to use my knowledge of experimental design methodology and data analysis strategies, while applying a new technology stack. During the process of mastering these technologies, I face a number of challenges that, fortunately, I am currently managing to overcome. Perhaps this post...
MAGMA (A collection of next-generation linear algebra libraries for use on GPUs. Developed and implemented by the same team that develops the LAPACK and ScaLAPACK libraries) has released a new important version 2.5.1 (2019-08-02): added support for Turing; it can now be built via cmake, for which the CMakeLists.txt has been corrected for proper spack installation; fixes for using without FP16; improved compilation on various […]

I have been using Docker for several months to structure the development/delivery process of web projects. I suggest to the readers of "Habr" a translation of the introductory article on Docker — "Understanding Docker". What is Docker? Docker is an open platform for developing, delivering, and running applications. Docker is designed to speed up the deployment of your applications. With Docker, you can separate your application from your infrastructure and […]
Hello everyone. This is Sergey Omelnitsky. Not long ago, I hosted a stream on reactive programming where I talked about asynchronicity in JavaScript. Today, I would like to summarize this material. But before we dive into the main content, we need to start with an introduction. So, let's begin with definitions: what is a stack and a queue? A stack is a collection where elements […]
A vulnerability (CVE-2019-9848) has been identified in the LibreOffice office suite, which can be exploited to execute arbitrary code when opening documents prepared by an attacker. The vulnerability is caused by the LibreLogo component, which is intended for programming education and inserting vector graphics, translating its operations into code in the Python language. By executing LibreLogo instructions, an attacker can achieve code execution in Python […]
Starting in 2020, Google will introduce a new search engine selection screen for all Android users in the EU during the initial setup of a new phone or tablet. The chosen search engine will become the default in Android and the Chrome browser, if installed. Search engine owners will have to pay Google for the right to appear on the selection screen alongside Google search. The three winners […]
On Friday, August 2nd, the release of re2c was announced — a free lexical analyzer generator for C and C++ languages. It should be noted that re2c was written in 1993 by Peter Baeumer as an experimental generator of very fast lexical analyzers, distinguished from other generators by the speed of the generated code and an unusually flexible user interface, which allows for easy and efficient embedding of analyzers into existing […]
An experimental release of the open implementation of the Win32 API — Wine 4.13 is available. Since the release of version 4.12, 15 bug reports have been closed, and 120 changes have been made.

Traditionally, enterprise IT systems were designed for automation tasks and supporting target systems, such as ERP. Today, organizations face different challenges – those of digitalization and digital transformation. It is difficult to address these challenges based on the previous IT architecture. Digital transformation is a serious challenge. What should the program for transforming IT systems to achieve business digital transformation be based on? The right IT infrastructure is the key to […]
On May 27, in the main hall of the DevOpsConf 2019 conference, held within the framework of the RIT++ 2019 festival, as part of the 'Continuous Delivery' section, a presentation titled 'werf – our tool for CI/CD in Kubernetes' was delivered. It discusses the problems and challenges that everyone faces when deploying in Kubernetes, as well as nuances that may not be immediately obvious. […]
A new version of the system library glibc – 2.30 – has been released. Some updates include: Character encoding, character type information, and transliteration tables have been updated and now support Unicode version 12.1.0. The dynamic linker accepts the –preload argument to preload objects in addition to the LD_PRELOAD environment variable. The twalk_r function has been added. It is similar to the existing twalk function, but it can pass […]
