Not long ago, I needed to write several Ansible playbooks to prepare a server for deploying a Rails application. Surprisingly, I couldn't find a simple step-by-step manual. I didn't want to copy someone else's playbook without understanding what was happening, and in the end, I had to read the documentation, piecing everything together myself. Perhaps I can help someone speed up this process with this […]
The new 3CX Call Flow Designer with a visual expression editor follows the principle that our products should be simple and understandable. That's why we've once again updated the development environment for voice applications, the 3CX Call Flow Designer (CFD). The new version features a modern user interface (new icons) and a visual expression editor used when creating scripts. The new […]
Hi! In the comments to the review of the ONYX BOOX James Cook 2, which recently guest-posted on our blog, some were surprised that the device in 2019 comes without a touchscreen (Carl!). But for some, this is strange, while others specifically look for a reader only with physical buttons: for example, elderly people find it easier to handle something they can feel; an accidental swipe […]
Playtonic Games has released a new trailer for the platformer Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair, showcasing the 'alternative level construction' system. There will be 20 levels in the game, but during their journey, our heroes will uncover secrets and solve puzzles that dynamically transform each location. Thus, the total number will rise to 40. 'Rebuild levels by connecting electricity, flooding them with water […]
The series 'Silicon Valley' is not just an entertaining comedy about startups and programmers. It contains a wealth of useful information presented in a simple and accessible manner for developing a startup. I always recommend that all aspiring startup founders watch this series. For those who do not consider it necessary to spend time watching shows, I've prepared a small selection of the most useful episodes, […]
It's tough for you, fake programmer. But I am a real one. No, I am a programmer too. Not just 1C, but whatever is needed: sometimes C++, sometimes Java, sometimes C#, Python, even on that cursed JavaScript. And yes, I work for 'the boss'. A wonderful boss: he brought us all together and makes incredible money. And I work for him for a salary. And also […]

Details about the issue have not yet been disclosed, and all mail server administrators are advised to prepare for the emergency update on July 25. In […]
I know, I know. There are countless crypto projects with various consensus mechanisms: based on labor and ownership, gold, oil, baked goods (yes, that exists, indeed). What do we need from another one? I suggest discussing this after reading the translation of the 'lightweight' technical documentation for the *Constellation* project. Of course, this is not a complete description of the algorithm, but I'm interested in the community's opinion on whether such a consensus can actually exist […]
An unusual smartphone on the Android Go platform has been presented on Xiaomi's crowdfunding platform Youpin — a device called Qin 2. The device features a 5.05-inch touchscreen display with an unusual resolution of 1440 × 576 pixels. This makes the smartphone significantly elongated vertically, with a screen aspect ratio of 22.5:9. The type of processor used is […].
I've had very bad luck in life. Throughout my life, I've been surrounded by people who are engaged in something real. And I, as you might guess, am a representative of two of the most pointless, contrived, and unreal professions that can be imagined — a programmer and a manager. My wife is a school teacher. Plus, of course, she is also a homeroom teacher. My sister is a doctor. Her husband, of course, is one too. […].
