Штатная ситуация оказалась задачей со звёздочкой: кластер кинул алерт о том, что заканчивается сеть подов, но ни одно решение «из методички» не подходило, а вытаскивать кластер из прода было нельзя.В статье расскажу, как мы не просто расширили подсеть подов, но сделали это на работающем кластере и не потеряли при этом данные.

Разработка плагина для Android Studio или Чистим безумную простыню логов в LogCat

Каждый Android-разработчик проводит в окне Logcat примерно треть своей жизни. И пока проект маленький, там всё хорошо. Но когда приложение разрастается до десятков изолированных модулей, Logcat превращается в филиал ада. Туда одновременно сыплется аналитика, сетевые запросы, логи инициализации, внутренние «шорохи» библиотек и куча другого мусора.Недавно я дошёл до точки кипения.

Tests Suggest Russian Satellites Can Jam GPS On a Continental Scale

Researchers say mysterious, seconds-long GPS interference bursts detected across Europe appear to come from Russian EKS early-warning satellites, making this "a rare example of human-made GPS interference coming from space," reports Ars Technica.
