Операционная Система Вселенной

Привет, Хабр!Сегодня я хочу поговорить об оптимизации. Но не о том, как ускорить ваш скрипт на Python или ужать базу данных. Давайте замахнемся на архитектуру повыше. Поговорим о том, как спроектирована наша реальность, если посмотреть на неё глазами хардкорного embedded-разработчика, у которого критически мало оперативной памяти, но бесконечная задача на выходе.Многие представляют Бога (или Архитектора Симуляции) как существо с безграничными вычислительными ресурсами, которое вручную рендерит каждый атом и Read more

What Airbnb Used to Be: Boutique Wants Fewer Homes, More Taste — and No Investment Funds

Marc Blazer is building one of the cleanest anti-Airbnb points of view in travel: real, deeply designed homes for design-literate travelers who want taste, context, and character over inventory. The argument is persuasive. The hard question is whether it survives contact with growth. Read more

DataSafeS3: self-hosted S3 с LDAP, аудитом и «Мои файлы» — честный разбор до релиза

За последние годы я несколько раз видел одну и ту же картину в небольших и средних компаниях. Для приложений поднимают S3-совместимое хранилище. Для людей — отдельный файловый сервис или сетевые шары. LDAP/OIDC живёт отдельно. Бэкапы — третий контур. Мониторинг — четвёртый.

Как утки с СДВГ довели меня до опенсорса: зачем я собрал утилиту для перевода коротких видео на домашней видеокарте
