CAPTCHA is not just a single word that can be defined; it's an acronym consisting of nine words (and two prepositions): Completely Automated Public Turing Test To Tell Computers and Humans Apart. This mouthful was shortened to the concise CAPTCHA to avoid creating yet another hard-to-pronounce term. Translated into Russian, this abbreviation sounds like "Полностью автоматизированный публичный тест Тьюринга для различения компьютеров и людей" (Fully Automated Public Turing Test to Differentiate Computers and Humans).

Over the past two years, artificial intelligence has become one of the main topics in the media and many famous people have expressed their thoughts on this topic. But if you start searching on the Internet for collections of quotes about AI, you will mostly find quotes from CEOs of multi-billion dollar companies, futurists and scientists conducting research in this field. Moreover, these collections are so similar to each other, which sometimes gives the impression that they were compiled by AI. In this article, I have collected quotes from world famous people who are usually not included in such collections of quotes:

Are you tired of writing messy and unorganized code that leads to frustration and bugs? You can transform your code from a confusing mess into something crystal clear with a few simple changes. In this article, we'll explore key principles from the book "Clean Code" by Robert C. Martin, also known as Uncle Bob, and apply them to Python. Whether you're a web developer, software engineer, data analyst, or data scientist, these principles will help you write clean, readable, and maintainable Python code.

In this article, I would like to introduce a new web browser called Ladybird. This ambitious open-source project aims to revolutionize the browsing experience. Although it hasn't been officially released, I had the opportunity to test it on Ubuntu. In this article, I'll show you what it looks like and explain how you can run it on your computer.

At some point while diving deeper into automation processes you are faced with the need for data labeling, although just a couple of weeks ago, the phrases data labeling and you were standing at a party called "Earnings on the Internet" in different rooms. Or it would be better to say that you were standing by the pool, and the data labeling was on the third floor, smoking on the balcony with experts in the field of machine learning. How did we meet? Probably, someone pushed it off the balcony into the pool, and I helped it out, soaking my clothes along the way.

n8n is a powerful, extendable workflow automation tool that allows you to connect different applications and services. Running it on your local machine gives you complete control over your data and workflows, which can be done on Windows, Mac, or Linux systems. This tutorial covers the two primary methods for local installation: using Docker and using Node.js (npm). If you are interested, then read this article until the end. :)

A few weeks ago, OpenAI announced that Codex is available for Plus users, and I didn’t miss a chance to try it. And today, I’m excited to share a guide to OpenAI’s Codex. As a developer, I’ve found it to be a powerful and practical tool.

If you've ever run multiple instances of PostgreSQL or other software on a single machine (whether virtual or physical), you've probably encountered the "noisy neighbor" effect — when instances disrupted each other. So, how do you make them get along? We’ve got the answer!

My name is Ilya and I’m a Core Developer at Bright Security. In Bright we work on a DAST (Dynamic Application Security Testing) solution that helps development teams find and fix vulnerabilities early, straight from CI/CD. My own path began in full-stack engineering, but almost a decade of shipping production code drew me ever deeper into application security. In this article I’m explaining key approaches on what SAML actually is and how we detect it in Bright using DAST.

We continue the series of articles about new patches coming to PostgreSQL 18, this one covering the news of the November CommitFest.

Memory leaks in Node.js can be silent killers for your applications. They degrade performance, increase costs, and eventually lead to crashes. Let’s break down common causes and actionable strategies to prevent or fix them.

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.

What if you could build an entire Web App just by describing it? Today, I'll show you how Vercel's V0 revolutionizes web development. In about 5 minutes, you'll learn how to turn text into a production-ready Web App. Let's dive in!

Did you know that coding tools have evolved so rapidly that they're now shaping the future of programming itself? As technology advances, platforms like Replit are leading the charge, making coding more accessible and collaborative than ever before. In this article, I'll show you what Replit is and how to use it.

My name is Paul Karol and I work as a director in a Russian IT company that mostly sells their products in the international market.

I have been deeply involved in a project and I haven’t had time to write here lately.  

But out of this work came an understanding of two very large Mistakes that are being made that prevent your pre-sales from succeeding. 

I’m going to go into deeper detail on each one of these issues in the next articles, but I will introduce them here now.

Let me make you a promise….. if you correct these two issues, your software and development projects will sell.  

**I have a proven track record. If these areas are fixed the company begins to sell 150 % more than they’ve ever sold in the past. 

150% more profits! 

Today, I would like to share a simple tutorial on how to set up authentication in your Next.js project using Firebase. This guide will walk you through the process step-by-step, ensuring you can quickly implement a secure authentication system.

According to the description,

Tree-sitter is a parser generator tool and an incremental parsing library. It can build a concrete syntax tree for a source file and efficiently update the syntax tree as the source file is edited.

But how does Tree-sitter handle languages that require a preprocessing stage?

In this article, we’ll explore what vector search is, what problems it solves, and how the pgpro_vector extension for Postgres Pro brings powerful vector capabilities directly into a relational database — no need for separate specialized systems.

Have you ever wished for an AI assistant right inside your terminal window? Well, your dream has come true because Google just released Gemini CLI. In this tutorial, I'm going to show you everything you need to know about this new open-source AI agent. We'll cover how to use it, the pricing, and some useful tips and tricks. So, if you're ready, let's get started! ;)

UUIDv7 was inspired by ULID. Like ULID, it is a 128-bit identifier, containing a timestamp on the left side and random data on the right side. But RFC 9562 establishes many requirements for UUIDv7.

In databases and distributed systems, a properly implemented UUIDv7 is always preferred over any other identifier type, including natural keys, autoincrement, UUIDv4, TypeID, ULID, KSUID, CUID, NanoID, and Snowflake ID.
