Yesterday Viktor Ivanovich Kauk reposted my post about “Why I quit the university” to the group “KhNURE - open group” (https://www.facebook.com/groups/vicerector/permalink/1806975352897269/). He added his own narrative to the repost. A discussion happened under the repost, including with the participation of the rector of KhNURE …

It’s amazing how many people don’t know the main secret to setting up a monitor. The monitor brightness should be set so that it doesn’t contrast with the ambient lighting. That is, if the room is brightly lit, the monitor should be bright too. If the room …

I recently read the book “Reflections on Personal Development” by Ichak Adizes (325 UAH in paper form).

I had already read Adizes before. It was the book “How to Overcome Management Crises,” and I liked it a lot. My expectations for the next Adizes book were high. It turned out …

Truants come to me when they’re about to be expelled and ask:

So I go into Windows Task Manager and see this.

Let me explain why it’s so much. 10 megabytes is the chat functions. The other 90 is the set of animated smileys.

Last time, the editorial staff of our blg wrote about the design of the map for the Kholodnohirsko-Zavodska metro line. Today, a photograph of the Oleksiivska line map has been obtained from reliable sources.

Of the pictograms, I liked “Ice-cream Cone,” “Trash Can,” “Moon Path,” and “Some Damn Thing.”

Why doesn’t Lingvo have a “Tweet” button? I’d use it.

On the way from my place to the center there are advance railway ticket offices. Very convenient: no need to go to Pivdennyi to stand in line; you can just stop by, get the tickets, and leave. Five minutes’ work. So I usually volunteer to buy a stack of tickets …

Yesterday Intel launched another contest in parallel programming and optimization: “Parallel Races: the ‘π’ formula.” The gist of the contest: develop a scalable implementation of a generator for the digits of π. You need to find as many digits after the decimal point as possible in 60 seconds.
