In our posts, we have repeatedly mentioned that after the finale of the 'Digital Breakthrough' competition, successful teams will have the opportunity to refine their projects within the framework of the pre-accelerator and prepare products for the market. The program started on September 30, and we can already summarize the first results.

HTTP/3 support in Firefox is based on the neqo project developed by Mozilla, which provides the client and server implementation for the QUIC protocol. The code components for supporting HTTP/3 and […]

We will briefly (but with references) review the results of sociological studies and neuroimaging studies that show how recognizing relatives among people can influence sexual behavior and foster cooperation, while on the other hand, the recognition of a member of an outsider social […]
The release of the distributed version control system Git 2.24.0 is now available. Git is one of the most popular, reliable, and high-performance version control systems, providing flexible tools for nonlinear development based on branching and merging. To ensure the integrity of the history and resistance to changes made 'retroactively', implicit hashing of the entire previous history is used in each commit, and digital verification is also possible […]
