PyTorch, the popular open source machine learning framework, has updated to version 1.3.0 and continues to gain momentum with its focus on serving the needs of both researchers and application programmers. Some changes: experimental support for named tensors. You can now refer to tensor dimensions by name, instead of specifying an absolute position: NCHW = ['N', 'C', 'H', 'W'] images = torch.randn(32, 3, […]
Life seems to be easy for IT engineers. They earn good money and move freely between employers and countries. But this is all for a reason. The “typical IT guy” has been staring at the computer since school, and then at the university, master’s degree, graduate school... Then work, work, work, years of production, and only then the move. And then work again. Of course, from the outside it may seem [...]
The Linux version of the free BlueMail email client was recently released. You might think that another mail client for Linux is not needed. And you are absolutely right! After all, there are no source codes here, which means that your letters can be read by many people - from client developers to fellow majors. So what is BlueMail famous for? Nobody knows for sure. What it is written on is also [...]

I think many of you have now heard the phrase “Digital Breakthrough” for the first time. I also had not heard about this competition until now. So I’ll start with [...]
The protocol previously received $5 million from Status.im in 2017, which allowed the developers to stabilize the specification, client and server reference implementations, hire UI/UX professionals to work on a global redesign, and significantly improve end-to-end encryption. After this, cooperation was established with French government agencies, which needed a secure means for internal communications. On that […]

The project code is distributed under the Apache 2.0 license. Bazel builds the project by running the necessary compilers and tests. […]
The developers of the anonymous Tor network have warned of a major purge of nodes that use outdated software that has been discontinued. On October 8, about 800 outdated nodes operating in relay mode were blocked (in total there are more than 6000 such nodes in the Tor network). The blocking was accomplished by placing blacklist directories of problem nodes on the servers. Excluding bridge nodes that have not been updated from the network […]
The release of KnotDNS 2.9.0 has been published, a high-performance authoritative DNS server (the recursor is designed as a separate application) that supports all modern DNS capabilities. The project is developed by the Czech name registry CZ.NIC, written in C and distributed under the GPLv3 license. KnotDNS is distinguished by its focus on high performance query processing, for which it uses a multi-threaded and mostly non-blocking implementation that scales well […]
