A recent Gallup study indicates that over the past 11 years, the number of Russians wishing to move to another country has tripled. Most of these individuals (44%) are under 29 years old. Also, statistics show that the most desired country for immigration among Russians remains the USA. Therefore, I decided to compile data on visa types in one material […]

We developed DevOps as best we could. There were 8 of us, and Vasya was the best at Windows. Suddenly, Vasya left, and I was tasked with rolling out a new project that delivers Windows development. When I laid out the entire stack of Windows development on the table, I realized that the situation was painful… This is how Alexander Sinchinov's story at DevOpsConf begins. When the leading Windows specialist left the company, Alexander wondered what to do next. Switch to Linux, […]
The State Corporation for Space Activities Roscosmos and the P.N. Lebedev Physical Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences (FIAN) presented the project "Music of Pulsars." Pulsars are rapidly rotating neutron stars of extremely high density. They have a rotation period and a specific modulation of the radiation coming to Earth. Pulsar signals can be used as time references and guides for satellites, and by converting their frequency into sound waves, one can […]
It was 2013. I started working at a software development company focused on private users. I heard various things, but the last thing I expected to see was what I came across: 32 unresolved virtual machines on a still outrageously expensive VDS, three 'free' Photoshop licenses, 2 Corel, paid and unused IP telephony capacity, and other minor details.

After many years of ignoring user requests for this, Microsoft appears to have decided to add this capability to the operating system. However, reports suggest that these won't just be tabs like in a browser. They will be entire sets of features that will add support […]
Despite the evident difficulties in producing sufficient quantities of 14nm chips, Intel continues to steadily expand its lineup of ninth-generation Core processors, known by the codename Coffee Lake Refresh. However, this is achieved with mixed success. Formally, new products are indeed being added to the lineup, but they are quite reluctant to appear in retail, and […]

As it develops the Mission Critical server direction, Hewlett Packard Enterprise does not forget about the needs of small and medium-sized business customers. Often, although not always, the process of searching for computing power for new tasks within the small and medium-sized business (SMB) client is unpredictable and challenging: needs grow, new urgent tasks arise spontaneously, and all this is accompanied by attempts to understand […]
