Say Goodbye to the Undersea Cable That Made the Global Internet Possible

The first fiber-optic cable ever laid across an ocean -- TAT-8, a nearly 6,000-kilometer line between the United States, United Kingdom, and France that carried its first traffic on December 14, 1988 -- is now being pulled off the Atlantic seabed after more than two decades of sitting dormant, bound for recycling in South Africa.

Subsea Environmental Services, one of only three companies in the world whose entire business is cable recovery and recycling, began the operation last year using its new diesel-

Анти-флаккинес: Часть 3. Вы всё сделали правильно. Тест всё равно упал

В первых двух частях мы разобрались с Page Objects и научились управлять тестовыми данными. Но даже с чистым кодом тесты могут падать с завидной нерегулярностью. Раз в десять прогонов, чаще в CI, чем локально. Не потому что CI какой-то особенный, а потому что там может быть меньше CPU, выше latency между сервисами и куча параллельных процессов. Асинхронные проблемы никуда не деваются и локально, но более мощная машина и быстрая сеть... Read more

Обменники криптовалют в Москва-Сити, риски по сравнению с P2P-обменом

Работать с наличкой всегда было рискованно. Мы помним истории из бандитских 90-х, валютчиков на улицах с картонками «Доллары, марочки» и «котлеты» с газетной набивкой. Карманные приборы для выявления фальшивок, степени защиты в ультрафиолете. При этом был риск, что вас ограбят просто по дороге домой.Но в сегодняшних условиях цифровой диктатуры (блокировка карт и банковских счетов, взыскание налогов с населения в стиле ОПГ) наличка снова становится актуальной. Во-первых, банки блокируют карты как... Read more

Как получить палитру доминирующих цветов из изображения

Я фронтенд-разработчик, в основном работаю с React. И в одном из своих пет-проектов я столкнулся с задачей, где нужно автоматически извлекать доминирующие цвета из изображения — для генерации палитры. Начал разбираться, какие подходы вообще существуют, как это делают другие инструменты и что из этого можно реализовать прямо в браузере без тяжёлых зависимостей и серверной обработки. В итоге, получился стабильный и визуально адекватный результат даже на больших изображениях. Читать далее Read more

RPA и ИИ-агенты в Enterprise архитектуре (не вместо, а вместе)

Привет, Хабр! Меня зовут Сергей, я руковожу управлением операционных технологий в РГС. Недавно мы с командой обсуждали вопрос: «А что эффективнее сегодня: робот или AI-агент?». В последние годы RPA стал массовым инструментом автоматизации рутинных бизнес-процессов. При этом RPA, действующий по строго заданным сценариям, отлично справляется с многократной обработкой хорошо структурированных задач, а ИИ-агенты на основе LLM — с неструктурированными данными и рассуждениями. В enterprise-ландшафте это не конкур Read more
