How to find an English teacher. Part 1

Reading time5 min
Views1.6K


In the modern world, here and there ideas are arising about using data science for an extra benefit. For instance, Google can use a history of watched videos for providing recommendations about new ones. Online shops are using a recommendation system for increasing your receipt. However… if companies use the data for their benefit, could we do the same for own needs such as looking an online English teacher?

When Alex Garland’s series Devs (on FX and Hulu) came out this year, it gave developers their own sexy Hollywood workup. Who knew that coders could get snarled into murder plots and love triangles just for designing machine learning programs? Or that their software would cause a philosophical crisis? Sure, the average day of a developer is more code writing than murder but what a thrill to author powerful new program.

When developing the PVS-Studio static analyzer, we try to develop it in various directions. Thus, our team is working on plugins for the IDE (Visual Studio, Rider), improving integration with CI, and so on. Increasing the efficiency of project analysis under Unity is also one of our priority goals. We believe that static analysis will allow programmers using this game engine to improve the quality of their source code and simplify work on any projects. Therefore, we would like to increase the popularity of PVS-Studio among companies that develop under Unity. One of the first steps in implementing this idea was to write annotations for the methods defined in the engine. This allows a developer to control the correctness of the code related to calls of annotated methods.

A still from «Our Secret Universe: The Hidden Life of the Cell»

Investment business is one of the most complex domains in the banking world. It's about not just credits, loans, and deposits — there are also securities, currencies, commodities, derivatives, and all kinds of complex stuff like structured products.

Recently, people have become increasingly aware of their finances. More and more get involved in securities trading. Individual investment accounts have emerged not so long ago. They allow you to trade in securities and get tax credits or avoid taxes at the same time. All clients coming to us want to manage their portfolios and see their reporting on-line. Most frequently, these are multi-product portfolios, which means that people are clients of different business areas.

Moreover, the demands of regulators, both Russian and international, also grow.

To meet the current needs and lay a foundation for future upgrades, we've developed our Tarantool-based investment business core.

It is easy to try a static code analyzer. But it requires skills to introduce it in the development of an old large project. If the approach is incorrect, the analyzer can add work, slow down development, and demotivate the team. Let's briefly discuss how to properly integrate static analysis into the development process and start using it as part of CI/CD.

Greetings to all!

As a matter of fact I haven't found so far any generalized guide on logging and monitoring of metrics from external systems to Kubernetes on the web. Here I want to share with you my own version. First of all it is supposed that you have already got working Prometheus and other services.

As an example I use third-party data for stateful service RDBMS PostgreSQL in a Docker container. In our company we also use the Helm package manager, and you'll find how it works below. You can see same examples in this article below. You can see same examples in this article below. For a complete solution we create a nested chart.

2019 was a very busy year in terms of conferences. Our team could leave for whole weeks on business trips. As you know, the conference is perfect time to share knowledge. In addition to giving talks and telling many interesting things at our booth, we also learned a lot from communicating with conference participants and speakers. So at the Joker 2019 conference in fall, a talk from Dalia Abo Sheasha «Migrating beyond Java 8» inspired us to implement a new diagnostic rule that allows us to detect incompatibilities in the Java SE API between different versions of Java. This is what we will talk about.

The American company Electronic Arts Inc (EA) has made the source code of the games Command & Conquer: Tibetan Dawn and Command & Conquer: Red Alert publicly available. This code should help the game community to develop mods and maps, create custom units, and customize the gameplay logic. We all now have a unique opportunity to plunge into the history of development, which is very different from the modern one. Back then, there was no StackOverflow site, convenient code editors, or powerful compilers. Moreover, at that time, there were no static analyzers, and the first thing the community will face is hundreds of errors in the code. This is what the PVS-Studio team will help you with by pointing out the erroneous places.

[Dribbble Challenge] — Coffee Ordering Animation

Reading time11 min
Views2.3K

Tutorial level: Beginner/Junior


Motivation


Sometimes, when we surf dribbble, uplabs and similar design clouds, we often find many concepts or prototypes with animations, micro interactions, application flow and so on.
I often find illustrations of mobile apps that are good and interesting, but of course they are still in the form of concept, so therefore, why don't we try to apply them as an interface for applications that we will build next.


Original concept


In the Dribbble Challenge we will try to build an interface for Coffee Ordering, as I found on Dribble.

Implementation of Linked List in PHP

Reading time3 min

A linked list is a linear data structure, which contains node structure and each node contains two elements. A data part that stores the value at that node and next part that stores the link to the next node as shown in the below image:


Linked List Node

The first node also known as HEAD is usually used to traverse through the linked list. The last node (next part of the last node) points to NULL. The list can be visualized as a chain of nodes, where every node points to the next node.


Linked List

Implementation of Singly Linked List


Representation:


In PHP, singly linked list can be represented as a class and a Node as a separate class. The LinkedList class contains a reference of Node class type.


//node structure
class Node {
  public $data;
  public $next;
}

class LinkedList {
  public $head;

  //constructor to create an empty LinkedList
  public function __construct(){
    $this->head = null;
  }
};

Top 5 Reasons to Learn TensorFlow


Artificial Intelligence or AI has gone far beyond its beginning and self-driving cars, virtual assistants, Google Lens, and personalized marketing, are some of the initial powerful applications of AI. The present generation is yet to witness the true potential of AI in the years to come. Companies are investing huge amounts of money to leverage the power of AI and build applications that offer best-in-class solutions to real-world problems.


Broadly speaking, AI is one of the powerful fields of computer science which focuses on making machines capable of mimicking human actions. Such machines are not explicitly programmed and it learns from past experiences to make decisions quite similar to what humans do through their brain. When one starts exploring AI, it is inevitable to come across its subset i.e. Machine Learning. Further deep learning is a subset of machine learning.

Brief


Since December 8, 2019, several cases of pneumonia with unknown etiology have been reported in Wuhan City, Hubei Province, China. In recent months, nearly 80000 confirmed cases have been caused in the whole country, and the impact of the epidemic has been expanding. Not only the whole country has been affected, but also the confirmed cases have appeared in the whole world, and the cumulative confirmed cases have reached 3.5 million. At present, the source of infection is uncertain From where, but we can be sure that everyone needs masks very much, and those who are serious need respirators.

So, taking advantage of this hot spot, I also came to do a project about the ventilator, and there was a STONE in my hand TFT serial port screen is very suitable for the display screen of the ventilator. When the screen is available, I need a single-chip microcomputer to process the commands issued by STONE's serial port screen and upload some waveform data in real time. Here I choose a more general and easy to use MCU, Arduino uno single-chip microcomputer, which is widely used and supports many libraries.

Hi Habrausers!

As you may know Kibana is a visualization instrument, part of ELK (Elastic, Logstash, Kibana) stack. With the help of Kibana you may analyze and visualize your data, build different charts and combine them on the dashboard to present data in the most beautiful way.
People who use Kibana in our company have different background — some of them are technical who process data, some are managers who simply want to monitor some KPIs. And all have various questions. In spite of Kibana is rather popular in IT companies, there are not many articles or courses about it. To fill the gap I have created Kibana Tips & Tricks — weekly letters with frequently asked questions or themes. Such letters help our users to become more familiar with Kibana. There are no secrets — just detailed description of how you may work with your data.
I would like to share the first part of 'Kibana Tips & Tricks' with you — series of simple how-to articles for people who would like to know more about data analysis and visualization in Kibana. Today we will see how to view events in Kibana.

For any site, it is important to properly configure the HTTP headers. A lot of articles have been written on the subject of headings. Here we have summarized the lessons learned, the RFC documentation. Some of the headings are mandatory, some are obsolete, some can be confusing and contradictory. We did a parsing to automatically check the HTTP headers of the web server.

Correct HTTP headers increase security and trust in the site, including from search engines, can affect the site’s position in Yandex and Google, save server resources, reduce server load, thereby increasing the server response speed, which again affects the ranking of the site in the search, save money on payment powerful hosting, which may not be required for the site when configured correctly.

Data Type Should Not Be Considered As a Source of Its Behaviour

When you start learning a programming language(or just programming in general), usually there are first few chapters in books that introduce us such thing like data types (or just types). And we don't focus on this subject as much as we should because it's so simple, right? Well… I think that there is one little detail which can lead to big mistakes of understanding what really data type is.
