For two weeks now, the Runet has been buzzing about Telegram and the situation with its senseless and ruthless blocking by Roskomnadzor. Many have been hit in the crossfire, but all this is material for posts on Geektimes. What surprised me, however, is that I have yet to see a single breakdown of the planned Telegram-based network, TON - Telegram Open […]
Over a year ago, it became known about the plans of the messenger Telegram to launch its own decentralized network, Telegram Open Network. At that time, a comprehensive technical document was made available, which was presumably written by Nikolai Durov and described the structure of the future network. For those who missed it, I recommend checking out my summary of this document (part 1, part 2; the third part, unfortunately, is still gathering dust […]
Hello, Habr. We spontaneously held our first internal hackathon. I decided to share with you my pains and conclusions about the preparation for it over the past two weeks, as well as the projects that emerged. A boring part for those interested in marketing. I’ll start with a little story. Early April. Our office is hosting the first hackathon of the MskDotNet Community. The battle for Tatooine is in full swing […]
Some historical parallels Disclaimer: To save time, the TL;DR version of this article is the section 'Potential New Trend'. As humanity evolved, at a certain point in history, various material values were considered luxury items—precious metals, personal cold and firearms, means of transportation, real estate, and so on. The object of the KDPV is the Bugatti Type 57—a car from the company […
Do you remember how in the first part of the blockbuster film 'Men in Black', the top trainees shoot rapidly in all directions at cardboard monsters, and only Will Smith's character, after a brief contemplation, 'blows the brains' out of a cardboard girl holding a book on quantum physics? What does SD-WAN have to do with it? It's quite simple: today, the sales of solutions […]
The entire history of humanity is an attempt to dismantle the old order and build a new, better one. (Anonymous) In the previous article, 'What Does It Take to Build a Blockchain?' we explored the technologies that power all blockchains. Now it's time to understand what tasks modern blockchains can solve. To begin with, let's look at the current state of blockchain analytics and future prospects […]
As part of the Serenity project, a group of enthusiasts is developing a Unix-like operating system for the x86 architecture, equipped with its own kernel and a graphical interface styled after the operating systems of the late 1990s. The development is being done from scratch, out of interest, and is not based on the code of existing operating systems. The authors aim to bring SerenityOS to a level suitable for everyday use […]
At Microsoft, we are focused on the idea of enabling developers to create quality applications more quickly. One way to achieve this goal is by providing a range of products and services that cover all stages of the software development life cycle. This includes IDEs and DevOps tools, cloud application and data platforms, as well as operating systems […]
Historically, the IT industry has divided itself into two camps on any given issue: those 'for' and those 'against'. The topics of debate can be completely arbitrary. Which OS is better: Win or Linux? Should you use Android or iOS on your smartphone? Keep everything in the cloud or store it on cold RAID storage and lock the drives in a safe? Do PHP developers have the right […]
The developer of the system monitoring utility dstat, which has been in development since 2004 and provided a universal and more functional replacement for vmstat, iostat, mpstat, netstat, and ifstat, announced the discontinuation of the project due to a naming conflict caused by actions taken by Red Hat. Motivation dwindled after Red Hat decided to replace dstat with a new utility of its own design (from the Performance suite […]

Currently, Google supports only two operating systems: Android for mobile devices and Chrome OS for laptops. While they have much in common, they still do not form a unified ecosystem. The company is working to change this by first introducing the Play Store for Chrome OS and then adding support for Instant Tethering for many mobile devices and […]
