The photograph accompanying this article captures a moment I once witnessed on a beach in Silicon Valley, California. The endless waves of the Pacific Ocean stretch into the distance, fading and dissolving into the sand. All three states of matter are present here: the solid, unmoving sand; the liquid, flowing water; and the wind — invisible yet tangible chaos of air. This landscape seems to symbolize the transitions and boundaries between order and freedom, between stability and change.
This very scene inspired me to reflect on how DAOs, Decentralized Autonomous Organizations, transform into a "third state" for communities. They combine the chaotic freedom of scattered individuals and the structured order of centralized organizations, creating something new — fluid and adaptive.
Apache Kafka is a distributed event-streaming platform designed to handle real-time data feeds. It allows applications to publish, process, and subscribe to streams of data in a highly scalable, fault-tolerant manner.

Have you ever struggled to turn business ideas into a product? Or tried to understand the way another team works?
If you have, you know how exhausting it can be. Different ways of thinking –business, analysis, and engineering – don’t always fit together easily.
This article blends a simple story with engineering tools to show how creativity and structure can work together. Using characters like The King, The Troll, and The Prince, it explores how storytelling can help solve tough problems and make complex ideas clearer.
If you’ve ever faced a "troll" at work, this story might help you see things differently – and maybe even make the process a bit more fun.
The goal of the Intelligent Systems Department is to facilitate the road to high-quality professional life. The Ph.D. degree requires three publications in peer-reviewed journals. They are the core of the student’s thesis. This year each of our bachelor students delivered at least one publication. It means they pave the road to their Ph.D. To facilitate this, the Department provides state-of-the-art research topics, scientific advisors with excellence in science, and fine-tuned educational courses. Below, we are proud to recognize our students for their outstanding achievements.

Hello, friends
I decided to start this year with an article in the field of HIFI sound / audiophilia and this article is about sharing the results of my wireless earbud tests, which I’ve been conducting for several years since the emergence of TWS on the market.
Sound testing is my hobby, which can be useful for others, because in everyone’s life are important bright pleasant emotions, relaxation and mental comfort, which is not always enough in the flow of turbulent events of life. And music is just the thing to bring it all in, if only for moments, or even hours, and choosing the right headphones is crucial to getting the right effect.
Testing sound is a hobby with benefits that extend beyond personal enjoyment, as its results can be valuable to others. After all, life is made brighter and more fulfilling by positive emotions, moments of relaxation, and peace of mind — things that often feel scarce in the whirlwind of modern life. Music is one of those rare things that can bring these experiences into our lives, even if just for a moment or hours at a time. Choosing the right headphones is essential to achieving that effect.
By the end of 2024, I completed testing the best wireless in-ear headphones (commonly referred to as “earbuds”) available on the market — or at least those I could find. “Best” here doesn’t necessarily mean the most expensive. It refers to the top performers in terms of sound quality. We’ve all encountered situations where lower-priced items turned out to be just as good, if not better, than their costly counterparts. That’s why my sound-quality ranking includes headphones from various price categories — from ultra-premium TWS models to more budget-friendly options.

On 17.10.2024, the article “A new inherent approach to solving the Collatz 3n+1 problem and its analogues” was published on the Academia.edu website [1]. The second link is for those who find it easier to read in Russian “Новый внутренне присущий подход к решению проблемы Коллатца 3n+1 и ее аналогов” [2].
The English version was originally intended for the arXiv preprint platform, but they suggested first publishing in a peer-reviewed mathematical journal. Attempts to access other platforms HAL, Qeios, and ResearchGate were met with the requirement for affiliation, which an independent researcher does not have.
The process took almost two months — more than the research itself from idea to text. As a result, the article ended up on the Academia site, which is free from “face control”. I think it will be useful for anyone interested in the Collatz conjecture to read it. Exclusively for Habr, this short text summarizing the content and meaning of the publication.
Hey there! I'm excited to share some big news from Google about their latest AI model, Gemini 2.0. I encourage you to read the article till the end and watch my video demo. It's mind-blowing!
Any SEO expert knows the pain of collecting Google keyword data. It’s one thing if you can count all the queries on one hand, but what if they number in the thousands? How do you check the search volume in Google for each keyword? Frankly, once you hit tens of thousands of keywords, it’s enough to make your head spin. You’ll be tempted to reach for outdated, familiar tools, only to find modern reality throwing a curveball: the old formula of Key Collector + Google Ads + a few proxies simply doesn’t cut it anymore. We’re entering a new era, and without direct access to the official API, things get grim and complicated fast.
In the fast-paced world of software development, ensuring the quality and reliability of applications is crucial. With the ever-increasing complexity of software systems, it becomes essential to adopt a comprehensive and structured approach to testing. One such approach can be encapsulated in the acronym "RABBIT," where each letter stands for a distinct branch of testing. This multifaceted strategy covers various testing methodologies that together create a robust framework for quality assurance. This article explores each branch of RABBIT testing in detail, providing insights into their significance, implementation, and appropriate use cases.
Grok AI is a new and exciting artificial intelligence created by xAI, a company founded by Elon Musk in 2023. It works closely with X (formerly Twitter), offering cutting-edge tools for chatting, image creation, and more. In this article, we’ll break down what Grok AI is, how to use it, and what it can do.
Automation can be an exhilarating, albeit exhausting, journey‑especially for those just dipping their toes into it. The tasks are often labeled as “interesting” or “non‑standard,” which, let”s be honest, often translates to “challenging” or even “impossible.” Among these challenges, one question halts around 50% of novice automators in their tracks: How to bypass CAPTCHA!
The robotics industry is undergoing a significant transformation, moving beyond static systems and rigid programming to dynamic, adaptive solutions powered by artificial intelligence (AI). With these advancements, robots are increasingly capable of real-time decision-making and learning, opening up new opportunities to enhance workplace safety and efficiency.
In today's digital world, where applications process increasing amounts of sensitive data, ensuring reliable user authentication is critical. Authentication is the process of verifying the identity of a user who is trying to access a system. A properly chosen authentication method protects data from unauthorized access, prevents fraud, and increases user confidence.
However, with the development of technology, new authentication methods are emerging, and choosing the optimal solution can be difficult. This article will help developers and business owners understand the variety of authentication approaches and make informed choices.

Gen Z – a generation of young people born between the last few years of the 20th century and the first ten years of the 21st, are the primary users of a modern-day Internet. They started using technology since their early childhood, being almost constantly glued to their smartphones and tablets, which led to them being very demanding users that have their own requirements in UX. At the same time, they are known for their sense of humor and straightforwardness – which means they love using products that are both easy to navigate but full of interactive elements. Below we’ve collected a few things you should consider when creating a UX design aimed at a young audience.
Why might a feature not get to production on time? What prevents the team from releasing before the deadline? Can the product owner influence the timeline?
