In this article, we will use bash, ssh, docker, and nginx to organize a seamless deployment of a web application. Blue-green deployment is a technique that allows instant updates to the application without rejecting any request. It is one of the zero downtime deployment strategies and is best suited for applications with a single instance, but with the capacity to load a second, fully prepared instance alongside it […]
The day of August 24, 1995, marked the official presentation of the legendary Windows 95, which brought graphical user interface operating systems to the masses and made Microsoft widely known. After 25 years, let’s try to understand what made 'the Wind' win the hearts of billions of users around the world.

Several third-party GUI tools for configuration and workspace implementation are being developed separately […]
The implementation of the ZFS file system in the main branch of FreeBSD (HEAD) has been transitioned to using OpenZFS code, which develops the codebase of 'ZFS on Linux' as the reference version of ZFS. In spring, FreeBSD support was moved to the main OpenZFS project, after which all related changes to FreeBSD continued to be developed there, enabling FreeBSD developers to promptly implement changes into the system […]
Firefox 80 is now available. There is a new feature allowing users to set Firefox as the system's default PDF viewer. The loading and processing of lists of malicious and problematic extensions has been significantly sped up. This feature will be ported to the ESR version, as maintaining two different 'blacklist' formats is cumbersome, and the developers were unable to incorporate the change into the 78 release (on which the current ESR branch is based) due to a last-minute issue […]
For the last 40 years, Nintendo has been actively experimenting in the mobile gaming sector, testing various concepts and creating new trends that other console manufacturers quickly adopt. During this time, the company has produced numerous portable gaming systems, with hardly any being outright failures. The culmination of Nintendo's long-standing explorations was supposed to be the Nintendo Switch, but something […]
Hello, Habr readers. As we mentioned, this month OTUS is launching two courses on machine learning: a basic and an advanced one. In connection with this, we continue to share useful material. The goal of this article is to discuss our first experience using MLflow. We will begin the review of MLflow with its tracking server and document all iterations of the study. Then we will share […]
Author: Sergey Lukyanchikov, consultant engineer at InterSystems The Challenges of Real-Time AI/ML Computations Let’s start with examples from the Data Science practice of InterSystems: a 'burdened' customer portal is connected to an online recommendation system. There will be a restructuring of promotional campaigns across the retail network (for instance, instead of a 'flat' range of promotions, a 'segment-tactic' matrix will be used). What happens to the recommendation mechanisms? What happens to the submission and updating of data […]

The first public release of the Linux kernel was presented on September 17. Kernel 0.0.1 was 62 KB in compressed form and contained […]

Next, you will find instructions for setting up AWS MFA, followed by the installation and configuration of AWS CLI. Unfortunately, this mandatory procedure took me half a workday. To help other uncertain AWS users 😉 like I was, not to waste precious time on the mundane, I decided to put together this guide. Even for a sandbox account, setting up MFA is usually […]
