The European Commission Is Testing an Open Source Alternative To Microsoft Teams

The European Commission is preparing to trial a communications platform built on Matrix, the open source messaging protocol already used by the French government, German healthcare providers and European armed forces, as a sovereign backup to Microsoft Teams.

"The creator of PUBG is looking to do the Korean Witcher" -  How one small LinkedIn message convinced a Far Cry veteran to hop aboard Project Windless

If you're not up on your South Korean pop culture, there's a decent chance you might have been a little surprised to see a musclebound bipedal chicken take centre stage when publisher Krafton unveiled Project Windless earlier this year. But if you're already familiar with author Lee Youngdo's wildly popular (in South Korea, at least) high fantasy series The Bird That Drinks Tears, it probably made a lot more sense.... Read more

Неевклидова геометрия. Основы

На протяжении 2000 лет люди считали геометрию Евклида единственно возможной. Казалось очевидным, что через точку можно провести только одну параллельную прямую.Но в XIX веке Лобачевский, Риман и другие математики задали вопрос: а что, если это не единственный вариант?Оказалось, что можно построить непротиворечивые геометрии, где параллельных прямых либо нет вообще (эллиптическая геометрия), либо их бесконечно много (гиперболоид).И отвечая на вопрос “зачем?”, можно сказать:  GPS и навигация работают благодар Read more
