What will happen to mobile phones in three years? Previously, it was uninteresting because, generally, it’s clear from the prototypes (like flexible screens and built-in projectors). Later, it becomes too fantastical (holograms, built-in lightsabers, a kitchen food processor, and an AI assistant indistinguishable from a human in terms of quality). Write down, in three years we’ll take it out and compare.

I think that:

– energy recuperation from movement

– depth map capturing along with any photo and using it for automatic processing

– a week’s functionality without charging

– a unified axis with the main PC, car, and TV, transparently sharing data and software across all devices, but still everything works poorly

I NO LONGER need hosting for a small website, worldwide, ssh, CPU, memory and storage – minimal. What’s the cheapest among the decent ones?

THANK YOU EVERYONE! For the hosting search engine, for the comments. A new project is coming soon)

The new extension of the Kennedy Center, The REACH, is being built. The concrete building blocks resemble lego-like parts.

This was painfully accurate! Tomorrow I’m going to interview a guy from the UK, how can I forget this video?

On the way back from the ocean, I listened to this book by Chernyshev. Got through 30 chapters.

Well, what can I say, about 20-30% of the text, in my opinion, is very useful as it classifies and clearly packages known facts about thinking and perception. The author attempted to organize them in a sort of “alphabet”. About 70% of it consists of loosely connected examples and diverse lists, which are oddly perceived in audio format. In the book, these are captioned with “alphabet” symbols, which sort of makes you think about which topic the example illustrates. In audio format, there were attempts to replace a couple of dozen symbols with different sounds, but that’s a wild approach, impossible to remember.

The examples themselves are a potpourri of “interesting facts from the world of “.

In the section with puzzles and riddles, the answers follow immediately after the question, without any pause, though in the book they are spaced out differently. The torturous reading of various lists, which in print format I would have long since scanned quickly with my eyes, and then moved on.

Despite all these mismatches, I would probably recommend reading it, and especially listening to it on a long night drive. After all, those 20 percent of the author’s thoughts are noteworthy, and they are quite close to the beginning of the book. The almost complete absence of boring segments really helps to stay awake at the wheel.)

In this article, you will find a collection of blogs related to Hybris and e-commerce development.

They have been hand-picked by me personally over the past few years. I use this list as a set of bookmarks for regular use: for me, it’s more convenient than using the bookmark bar in the browser. If you notice that I missed something important, please let me know.

There are 10 Hybris blogs (90% of which are small) and 20+ blogs from vendors, solution and service providers, and independent IT media.

Halfway through our journey, some otter was swimming alongside us.

P.S. I’ve learned how to process video using OpenCV. In this case, I added a bit of “sharp” (filter2D, https://www.cc.gatech.edu/classes/AY2015/cs4475_summer/documents/sharpen.py)

Sunrise at Ocracoke Island. A bit to the right, there are lightnings over the horizon. It looks like there’s a thunderstorm miles away from the beach. Hard to capture. Everything around is under the warnings of rip currents, strong and narrow currents which quickly take you away from the shore to the open ocean.

The ocean is magnificent in the morning. Few people are watching the sunrise. Nobody is in the water, though. For me, it’s the perfect time 😉

We were told that there is a ferry here, it runs every half hour and it’s free.
