The registrar APNIC, responsible for the distribution of IP addresses in the Asia-Pacific region, has published the results of an analysis of traffic distribution on one of the root DNS servers a.root-servers.net. 45.80% of the queries to the root server were related to checks performed by browsers based on the Chromium engine. Thus, almost half of the resources of root DNS servers are spent on performing diagnostic checks for Chromium rather than processing requests from DNS servers during […]
I share from personal experience where and when it was useful. A general overview and bullet points to clarify what can be explored further — but this is based solely on my subjective personal experience, yours may be quite different. Why is it important to know and be able to work with query languages? In essence, there are several key aspects in Data Science [...]
Frenchman Fabrice Grinda has always loved taking risks — he has successfully invested in hundreds of companies: Alibaba, Airbnb, BlaBlaCar, Uber, and even the Russian equivalent of Booking — the service Oktogo. He has a special intuition for trends and the potential future. Monsieur Grinda not only invested in others' businesses but also created his own. For example, the online classifieds platform OLX, which is used by [...]

Very few know even at an introductory level. 5G is becoming a reality, and telecom infrastructure is starting to transition [...]
A new version of the XMPP client Kaidan 0.6.0 is available. The program is written in C++ using Qt, QXmpp, and the Kirigami framework. The code is distributed under the GPLv3 license. Builds have been prepared for Linux (AppImage and flatpak) and Android. The release of builds for macOS and Windows is delayed.

Here’s what’s new in Kotlin 1.4.0: A new, more powerful type inference algorithm is enabled by default. It automatically infers types in more cases, supports smart-cast even in complex scenarios, better handles delegated properties, and much more. New IR backends for JVM and JS are available in alpha mode. Once stabilized, they will be used by default. In Kotlin 1.4 […].

But time marches on, everything changes, and now Intel has released a fresh line of 10th generation processors, the Intel Core i9-10900K.
