Yesterday, I encountered a completely unexpected turn of events during yet another MacOS update. I generally really enjoy software updates; I always want to see the new features of various programs. When I saw this summer that I could download and install MacOS 10.15 Catalina Beta, I consciously decided against it, understanding that the beta could contain a significant amount […]
The other day in one community (VsSupport, if anyone's interested), an unprecedented drama unfolded — it turns out that knowledge from the community can be lost!!! And why is that? Because millennials (the new reincarnation of indigo children) don’t know how to maintain their own blogs, and searching on Google is difficult. From the discussion about "where the world is heading," this article was born, focusing on the beginning of work […]
Are you brave enough at 25-30-35-40-45 to sit down for self-study? Not corporate, not covered under the 'company pays' rate, not forced or previously unfinished higher education, but independent? To sit at your desk with the books and textbooks you choose, in front of your strictest self, and master what you need or have long wanted to learn, to the point that you just can't take it anymore […]
American telecommunications operator Verizon and Japanese company NEC have just successfully completed field tests of a comprehensive city environment and event monitoring system using existing optical communication lines.

Larry Wall, the creator of the Perl language and the 'benevolent dictator for life' of the project, has approved the proposal to rename Perl 6 to Raku, putting an end to the renaming debate. The name Raku was chosen as a derivative of Rakudo, the name of the Perl 6 compiler. It is already familiar to developers and does not overlap with other projects in search engines. In his comment, Larry quoted a phrase from […]
Raymond Hill, the author of the content blocking systems uBlock Origin and uMatrix, faced the inability to publish the latest test release (1.22.5rc1) of the uBlock Origin ad blocker in the Chrome Web Store. The publication was rejected, citing the unacceptable listing of "multipurpose extensions" that include functions unrelated to the main declared purpose. In accordance with […]
Almost every article or tool for optimizing website speed contains the modest point "use a CDN." In general, a CDN is a content delivery network. At our company, "Method Lab," we often encounter questions from clients about this topic, as some independently enable a CDN. The goal of this article is to clarify what a CDN can offer in terms of […]
What do Wolverine, Deadpool, and jellyfish have in common? They all possess the amazing ability of regeneration. Of course, in comics and films, this skill—common among a very limited number of actual living organisms—is slightly (and sometimes greatly) exaggerated, yet it remains entirely real. And what is real can be explained, which is what scientists decided to tackle in their new research […]
On October 12, the SPO Foundation, Electronic Frontier Foundation, Creative Commons, Document Foundation, and other human rights organizations will hold an international day against digital rights management (DRM) tools that limit user freedom. Supporters believe that users should have full control over their devices, from cars and medical devices to phones and computers. This year, the event organizers […]

It transfers real processes and products into the digital space, ensures the speed and reliability of financial transactions, reduces their cost, and allows the creation of modern DAPP applications using smart contracts on decentralized networks. Given the numerous advantages and diverse applications of blockchain, it may seem strange that this […]
The release of the Mir 1.5 display server is now available, which is still being developed by Canonical despite the abandonment of Unity shell development and the Ubuntu edition for smartphones. Mir remains in demand for Canonical's projects and is now positioned as a solution for embedded devices and the Internet of Things (IoT). Mir can be used as a compositor for Wayland, allowing environments to run […].
