HelpDesk из Flask и палок: как мы сделали систему заявок, которой пользуются врачи

Я думаю, многие айтишники не любят принимать заявки от пользователей по телефону. Многим знакома ситуация, когда служебный телефон находится в режиме «без звука», и только индикатор активности линии выдаёт, что кто‑то пытается дозвониться до IT‑отдела. Или когда айтишники редко находятся на рабочем месте, а координатора в отделе, который бы принимал заявки и передавал их затем своим коллегам, нет.

New OnePlus 15T camera leak disappoints

The OnePlus 15T is coming soon as the successor to the 13T launched last April. Today a new leak out of China purports to detail its rear camera setup, and it's disappointing if you were expecting any upgrades over its predecessor. Like the OnePlus 13T, the OnePlus 15T will allegedly have a 50MP main camera using Sony's 1/1.56" type Lytia 700 sensor with OIS, and a 50MP telephoto camera using... Read more

Инклюзивность без галочки: как мы внедряли доступность в большой продукт и не развалили архитектуру

Это разбор реального опыта внедрения доступности в крупном веб-продукте с десятками микросервисов и сложным фронтендом. Без лозунгов, зато с кодом, ошибками, переработками дизайн-системы и неожиданными проблемами в CI. Поговорим про ARIA, серверный рендеринг, мобильные скринридеры, автоматическое тестирование и про то, почему доступность — это не про alt у картинок, а про архитектуру.Когда я впервые услышал фразу сделаем доступность, я честно подумал: окей, добавим alt, поправим контраст, закроем задачу.

Fifteen days later, the company productized the capability and launched Claude Code Security.Security directors responsible for seven-figure vulnerability manag Read more

For four weeks starting January 21, Microsoft's Copilot read and summarized confidential emails despite every sensitivity label and DLP policy telling it not to. The enforcement points broke inside Microsoft’s own pipeline, and no security tool in the stack flagged it. Among the affected organizations was the U.K.'s National Health Service, which logged it as INC46740412 — a signal of how far the failure reached into regulated healthcare environments. Microsoft...

Traditional software governance often uses static compliance checklists, quarterly audits and after-the-fact reviews. But this method can't keep up with AI systems that change in real time. A machine learning (ML) model might retrain or drift between quarterly operational syncs. This means that, by the time an issue is discovered, hundreds of bad decisions could already have been made. This can be almost impossible to untangle. In the fast-paced world... Read more
