For those following the #hybris topic: I published a new article on the blog today: I am sharing Groovy scripts that make working with hybris more convenient/easier/simplify troubleshooting.

Today is the fifth installment, another six scripts. One of them restarts the server, another translates FlexibleSearch into SQL, a third allows executing SQL instructions on the server, creating and printing table indexes, etc. This can be useful in case there is no access to the server, but it is very much needed.

I wake up to the noise of likes and comments under a message on LinkedIn from me “celebrating 2 years in EPAM”. LinkedIn decided to publish it itself. Social networks have really become wildly autonomous these days. Soon, using geotags and my fitness watch’s pulse, they’ll be sharing my opinions on movies…

It would be interesting to create a questionnaire that outputs the respondent’s presumed age based on their answers. It’s not difficult. If the respondent says that they have been familiar with computers since childhood, then ask whether they know what a manual scanner is, or what an LPT port is. About the magical connection between a pencil and a cassette tape. Matches and a clothespin. Ping pong balls and foil. What MK-60 is. What happens if you dial 09 on the phone. Or 100. What is a Tamagotchi. What color are Dendy cassettes. Whether it’s possible to play with stamps. Color Lines game. IDDQD. Myspace. The talking paperclip. Microsoft Hearts. Yellow Pages. Palm. Altavista and Ask.com. 5.25″. Montana. V32bis. Kerosene burner. Shaping and aerobics. Dumplings. Dropping eggs, merry chef, and ocean secrets. Puzzles. “Hopscotch”. Jimmy-Jimmy. White roses. Ricardo Folly, CC Catch, Toto Cutugno and Sandra. Verónica Castro. Hair clips. Blue inks. Modern Talking. A fine for not rewinding. Beverly Hills and Monty Python. Five kopecks and chalk. Milk in triangular packets. A carrying bag hung out the window. Slide films. Pine tar. Carbide. Little devils made of wire and angelfish from drip bags… Fixer, Unibrom, and gloss enhancer. Lomo. Flexi discs. Nature observation diary. Fox hunting. Darts from needles. Rex, Mole and Lolek & Bolek. Kama and Desna. Matchstick houses. Rhodope mountains. Who recognized everything?)

By the way, a great text on the topic: https://ulpressa.ru/2013/11/02/detyam-60-70-80-h-godov-posvyashhaetsya/

While the pilaf is cooking in the multicooker, I found an awesome video from a dude who got obsessed and restored the operating algorithms of the multicooker in various modes. Before the video, I thought that there were also scales somehow built in (the gadget on which the inner pot is placed is vertically movable and somewhat resembles scales) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yImYOI4MWSA

Today, on my way back from work, and halfway there (the second ten minutes), I got caught in a heavy downpour. Everything got completely soaked. Well, on the way, I was watching YouTube, some channel about chess. My phone is waterproof, so nothing to soak really. But here’s what I noticed. The iPhone’s touch doesn’t freak out because of the water on it. It managed perfectly even with flowing streams and drumming drops. After the Samsung Note 4, which was dangerous to handle with wet hands, this is just happiness.

Are all modern displays like this? Has anyone else been caught in the rain with the latest Samsung?
