But why should we give up our seats to children in the metro? // Saw it three times in two weeks

Based on all five photos from the Moscow Marathon, I spent the entire distance glued to Facebook.

A three-hour presentation at SAP – done! Hope to share the video and slides soon. Discussed:

• “Good Architect” vs “Good Scientist”

• Hybris in a nutshell: how it works

• E-commerce search analytics: architecture, examples

• Architecture of Multi-word synonyms & subphrase search

• Architecture of Automatic Facet Discovery

• Architecture of Multi-line search

• Architecture of Geofencing module

• Architecture of Drools Fusion and Event Processing

• Architecture of Recommendation Engine

• Architecture of Page Fragment Caching

• PDF reports / agreements / forms

• Promo calculation in a cluster outside Hybris

For dessert, Andrey Sorokin and Andrey Volkov shared very valuable experience regarding 36.6 – thank you, it was very precious and interesting.

Thanks to Michail Chuguev, Alexander Dnestranskiy, Sofia Odintseva for the organization!

reminds me of a legendary guy who, in the 70s, wrote a letter to the Balabanovskaya match factory. The guy wrote something like this – “I’ve been counting matches in your boxes for 11 years now – sometimes 59, sometimes 60, and sometimes even 58. Are you all mad over there or what?”

Please provide the text you would like translated.

Friends, I invite you to my master class at SAP on September 28th at 2 PM. It is open to all who are interested, but registration is mandatory, and the number of spots is limited. Also, it will be a nice chance to meet as I won’t be in Russia for long.

The slides will feature diagrams and screenshots, not kittens and other nonsense, and there will even be some code at one point, so it will be more interesting for engineers than for those in humanities. But overall, the presentation is aimed at a fairly broad audience. It should be clear and interesting to everyone involved in e-commerce development.

Ran. 53:10 / 10.1 km. Pace 5:16, i.e., 52:40 min/10 km. Aimed for five minutes per kilometer, but didn’t succeed. It was very hot, plus the crowd was slowing down at the start, could have made up about 20 seconds there. The main reason, of course, is that I need more training! The organization of the Moscow Marathon this year was simply excellent.

Here’s a longer video from Tsaritsyno. It gets more lively after the first minute. Very beautiful. The phone doesn’t capture everything, it’s still dark

Made it from Bolshoy to Tsaritsyno. And it’s incredibly cool here. My phone is full of videos. Just wondering how I’ll manage to run in the morning after 30 km on the bike… 🙂

The light festival is in full swing. I seem to be the only one here with a bike. Stopped by on my way to Tsaritsyno. Something’s going on there too.
