I recently came across a not-so-popular beast in the DevOps world, Azure DevOps pipelines. I immediately felt the lack of any clear instructions or articles on the topic, I donβt know what this is connected with, but Microsoft clearly has something to work on in terms of popularizing the tool. Today we will build a pipeline for automated testing inside the Azure cloud. So, [β¦]
In this article I would like to reveal the possibilities of transparent proxying, which allows you to redirect all or part of the traffic through external proxy servers absolutely unnoticed by clients. When I started solving this problem, I was faced with the fact that its implementation had one significant problem - the HTTPS protocol. In the good old days, there were no particular problems with transparent HTTP proxying, [β¦]
The world of databases has long been dominated by relational DBMSs, which use the SQL language. So much so that emerging variants are called NoSQL. They managed to carve out a certain place for themselves in this market, but relational DBMSs are not going to die, and continue to be actively used for their purposes. In this article I want to describe the concept of a functional database. For better understanding, I [β¦]

In a previous article, I described the concept and implementation of a database built on the basis of functions, rather than tables and fields as in relational databases. It provided many examples showing the advantages of this approach over the classical one. Many found them not convincing enough. In this article I will show how this concept allows you to quickly and conveniently balance [β¦]

There was a dispute over an article and I decided to post its translation for public viewing. On the one hand, the author says that developers should not indulge players in matters of the scenario. If you look at games as art, then I agree - no one will ask the community what ending to choose for their book. On the other side [β¦]

In Kazakhstan, telecom operators sent messages to users about the need to install a security certificate issued by government agencies. Without installation, the Internet will not work. It should be remembered that the certificate not only affects the fact that government agencies will be able to read encrypted traffic, but also the fact that on behalf of any user it will be possible to write anything. Mozilla has already launched [β¦]
After attending the State of the Union session at WWDC 2019, I decided to take a deep dive into SwiftUI. I've spent a lot of time working with it and have now started developing a real application that can be useful to a wide range of users. I called it MovieSwiftUI - this is an app for searching for new and old films, as well as collecting them [β¦]
