At home, I came up with all sorts of ideas to prevent dust from accumulating on the keys of the synthesizer: covering them with various things, and eventually, I made a special wooden cover.

But the solution turned out to be simple: just play it every day and there won’t be any dust.

But really, it’s a strange thing. There’s a lot less dust here. I didn’t think there would be such a big difference between the city and the countryside.

Major breakthrough: created a prototype of the recommendation system using the built-in rule-based mechanism in Hybris. As a result, recommendations can now be created interactively, using the complex logic of linking accessories to products or similar products to each other.

Custom-wise — only the recommendation engine itself, which turned out to be relatively simple, as the most complicated part is already present in Hybris.

There’s a video linked which initially has detailed slides followed by a demonstration of how this works for me. For high-traffic sites, caching and/or using external Drools, which I wrote about on the blog earlier, is still needed.

Three years ago, I was one of the first to buy the smart fitness watch from Basis, model B1. It is a biorecorder – it continuously records heart rate, steps, and uploads to the cloud. The next model, Basis Peak, looked nicer both in design and features. But I decided not to upgrade.

About the same time, the company was bought by Intel for $100 million. Before the run on Saturday, I decided to wear them again, and I needed to download the software onto my computer. When I visited the official site, I found a complete recall of the Basis Peak sold over one and a half years with a full unconditional refund. And for those who bought it on a promotion – even with a profit. It doesn’t matter how long you used it. The reason – because about 0.2% of the sold watches are prone to overheating. On the website mybasis.com, every available space is occupied by RECALL NOTICE. It’s a pity for the company, they made a good product. And now, it’s buried.

But here’s what’s strange. I can’t find a single complaint on Google. It’s clear that there are complaints, but is it possible that nobody writes about it publicly? It’s not about one person (for one person, they hardly would have dismantled a company bought for $100 million, they would have just compensated him).
