Axel Rietschin, an engineer at Microsoft working on the Windows kernel, has questioned the possibility of developing the ReactOS operating system without borrowing code from Windows. In his opinion, the developers of ReactOS utilized code from the Windows Research kernel, the source texts of which were licensed for universities. Leaks of this code have been published in various environments, including GitHub. Rietschin is confident...
The power of a quantum computer is measured in qubits, the basic unit of measurement in quantum computing. Source. I facepalm after each reading of such phrases. This has not led to good outcomes, my vision is starting to decline; I will soon have to turn to Meklon. I think it's time to systematically summarize the main parameters of a quantum computer. There are several: Number of qubits, Coherence time (decoherence time), Error rate, Processor architecture […]
When visiting any country, it's important not to confuse tourism with immigration. Folk wisdom. Today, I would like to address perhaps the most pressing issue – financial balance while studying, living, and working abroad. In the previous four parts (1, 2, 3, 4.1), I did my best to avoid this topic, but in this article, we will draw a firm line under […]

In this issue, I will show and explain some intricacies of setting up a CMS server in a fault-tolerant cluster mode. TheoryThere are generally three types of CMS server deployment: Single Combined, which means a single server running all necessary services. In most cases, this type of deployment is only applicable for access by internal clients and in small environments, where scalability limitations […]
The Delta Amplon family has a new addition — the manufacturer has introduced a new series of devices with a capacity of 5-20 kVA. The Delta Amplon RT uninterruptible power supplies are characterized by high efficiency and compact size. Previously, this family only offered relatively low-power models, but the new RT series includes single-phase and three-phase devices with capacities up to 20 kVA. The manufacturer positions them for use in […]

Three funding levels were proposed with the following objectives: €20,000: a tool for organizing events; work on graphic […]
Intel has released version 0.6 of the SVT-AV1 library (Scalable Video Technology AV1), which provides alternative encoders and decoders for the AV1 video encoding format, utilizing the hardware parallel computing capabilities present in modern Intel CPUs. The main goal of SVT-AV1 is to achieve a level of performance suitable for on-the-fly video transcoding and for use in on-demand video (VOD) services. […]
A third unofficial candidate for the installer release of the upcoming major release of Debian 10 'Buster' has been prepared. The reason for creating this latest test version of the installer is the need to test last-minute changes related to the selection of recommended dependencies for kernel packages and the inclusion of the shim-signed package among the recommended dependencies for grub-efi-{arm64,i386}-signed packages. The Debian 10 release is expected on July 6. […]
