Hello my name is Dmitry. Recently I wrote article "Building firmware for Orange PI i96 (Orange PI 2g-iot) from scratch" . If you haven't read it yat, I highly recommend. And there I noticed that in order to build firware on current kernel, I have to rewrite drivers wirh new archetecture "Device tree". In this article I have revelate how I do it.
In the internet’s early days, blogging was straightforward. A server with PHP and MySQL allowed you to share your thoughts globally. Even FTP access with an index.html file sufficed.
However, as the web evolved, so did blogging requirements. Non-programmers needed user-friendly web interfaces, faster loading times, and seamless daily publishing. Platforms like Reddit, WordPress, and Tumblr emerged, but they faced a common issue: website ownership.
Below, we will discuss user-defined aggregation functions (UDAF) using org.apache.spark.sql.expressions.Aggregator, which can be used for aggregating groups of elements in a DataSet into a single value in any user-defined way.
Let’s start by examining an example from the official documentation that implements a simple aggregation
Hellow my name is Dmitry. Once I bought "Orange PI i96", but unfortunately producer not update it firmvere very long. Last firmwere kernel version is 3.10.62 but kernel current at time this article writing (russian version) is 6.5.1. And so I decide build my own firmware from scratch, and do it from sourse completely.

Hello, fellow front-end developers! Imagine a tool that’s not about punching in commands but a gateway to a world of coding artistry. That’s what the macOS Terminal became for me at Luxoft.
Continuous socket connection can be crucial to ensure correct app behavior. Whether it’s delivering real-time chat updates, stock prices, or in-app indicators, a reliable connection is vital.
One of the irritating problems with sockets is a sudden loss of connection. If the true cause is not visibly evident, i.e., unstable internet connection, then the disruption cause is often well hidden. To tackle this issue we can implement an automatic socket reconnection strategy. Let’s see what options we have in the industry-standard socket library for Dart — web_socket_channel.
Lose Your Sale) How to lose an IT project sale.
My name is Paul Karol and I work as a director in a Russian IT company that mostly sells their products into the American Market. What we will discuss today was so costly for that company that I want to share this knowledge so that it doesn't happen to other Russian IT companies.
Case Study
Today I want to tell you about a sale that almost was. I was Consulting for this one company and they were involved in selling software to the United States. This one particular client was in contact with the sales manager for 2 months.
Now this sales manager was very good at their job and they had a lot of charisma on the phone and in the text messages. However they specifically did not know something that cost them a large contract.
1. In Russia it's respectful not to talk about your personal life because you feel that you're wasting someone's time if you do not know them well.
2. In the United States once you have been talking with somebody for a couple of months you would start to consider them sort of a friend.
The Russian IT sales manager had not been in contact with this client for about a week and this was unusual.
They were worried.
Then the text message came that said this.
"I'm sorry Marina that I have not been in contact with you for some time. I took my family and kids to the Lakeside and we enjoyed some time by the beach."
The Russian IT sales manager did not know how to think about this and they asked this question.
" So, do you want to buy our product?"
Clean Go
Hey guys, I recently dove into 'Clean Code' by Robert C. Martin and found some valuable insights. The book is originally in Java, but I decided to reinterpret the principles in Go. Here's my take on the clean code concepts and how they can improve our coding practices.
1. Clean Code
The gist: Clean code is more than just working code; it's code that other developers can easily read, understand, and modify.
In this article, I will cover the memory consumption of .NET applications on Linux. Firstly, we will try to understand the idea of virtual memory. Then, we will examine the memory statistics that Linux provides, such as RSS (Resident Set Size), VmData, RES (Resident Memory Size), and SWAP. Following that, we will delve into specifics related to the .NET.
In the DevOps realm, where automation is crucial, the management of resources and updating processes in the cloud is vitally important. Many modern projects, particularly in AWS cloud environments, leverage Auto Scaling Groups (ASG). This mechanism aims to achieve three key objectives: balancing loads, increasing service reliability, and optimizing operational costs for efficiency and effectiveness.
Imagine working at a company where you deploy applications on Amazon's resources. To streamline this process and manage configurations more effectively, you use pre-built AMI images. These are crafted with tools like HashiCorp Packer, ensuring your applications launch swiftly and reliably. For the actual infrastructure deployment, you turn to Terraform. It's widely recognized as the standard in many major companies for managing cloud resources and using the IaC (Infrastructure as Code) approach.
As an IT engineer, you sometimes need to update instance versions to a newer AMI image, either for the latest security patches or to introduce new functionalities. The challenge lies in updating an active ASG without causing downtime. It's crucial to ensure the new AMI performs as reliably as the existing one, balancing the need for updates with system stability and uptime.
ASG's instance refresh is a crucial feature that allows for updating instances within a group while minimizing downtime, thereby maintaining high availability. However, ensuring the success of such updates, especially in large, complex systems, can be a challenge. Terraform resources, such as aws_autoscaling_group, can initiate this process but don't provide progress tracking. This limitation becomes apparent when other infrastructure components, such as certificate renewals or DNS updates, depend on the state and version of the instances. Monitoring the update process is essential to maintain an accurate infrastructure state after Terraform's execution.
To overcome this challenge, Ansible can be utilized...
Title:
After sale IT support for American and Western Companies
Let’s have a case study.
A Russian IT company sells software to a western country like say America. And you are working as an application developer on the support side.
One day, there is a problem with the program, and the program has stopped working.
You must contact the company now to inform them that the program is off-line.
THE NEXT STEP YOU TAKE IS VERY IMPORTANT.
The way, the two cultures operate in a situation like this are very different and it will have everything to do with how easy your job goes for you.
…………
Russia : “we have a problem”
“What is wrong?”
“I don’t know”
“When can it be fixed?”
“I don’t know”
……………
USA: “i’m just giving you a real quick call to let you know that there is a problem with the program.
I’ve already put my team on it and we will have it up and running shortly.
I will let you know more by 3 o’clock today what is going on”
It’s not important how long you think it will take you, but I will always tell them a few hours from the time that you informed them of a problem.
I understand that you have no idea how deep the bug is and also whether it will affect any other systems.
But it is important to set a time window very close to when you inform them that you will bring them more information.
This also works very well if you don’t know something that they ask you.
Question:
“What can we do to fix this problem?”
Answer:
“I understand what you’re saying. I will look into it and get back to you in two hours. By 1 PM today.”
in this case, it’s important that you:
1. Take responsibility for yourself and your team.
2. Communicate that you understand this responsibility.
3. Gives strict timelines. (if it’s not possible, you can always say that there is a problem, but do it before the deadline.)
4. Use certain key language.
“ I understand you”
“ I understand what you were saying”
“ I wanted to inform you”
“ we are working on it right now”

UX writing is an essential part of UX design, which plays a huge role in providing qualitative user experience. The job of a UX writer is to compose texts for a digital product, which can be of two types: microcopy (labels, buttons, notifications and other small notes) and macrocopy (larger texts like written content on pages, instructions, information sheets). UX writing helps users easily navigate through the product, perform various tasks and get all the necessary information.
This is one of the most important articles I’ve written.
In this article, I’m going to dive deep into one of the largest differences between Russia and America pertaining to sales and marketing.
1. You must use your name.
2. You must have a personal approach.
3. You must show that you are involved.
4. You must show that you care about the needs and desires of the client.
Recently, I was faced with an interesting problem. I was asked to call clients without making it personal.
So let’s go back to when I was in America, living and working as a sales person. The company I work for, was very large, and had multiple branches around the Washington DC area. They had offices in three states.
They put me through a sales training course.
The biggest “take away” from the course…..
You’re not selling the product/
you’re selling yourself.
It's important to use your charisma and your genuine caring for the customer to win them over. Once they understand that you're actually trying to help them, then they will seriously consider the item you are telling them about.
I also want to say, very clearly, that it's not a prideful approach. It should be a professional approach. You're responsible to tell the customer/ the client all the benefits of the item and how this item will help their business.
Everything above pertains to sales in America. So if you are approaching America as a sales manager this is how you should craft your approach.
Now I've spoken to my colleague,
Kristina Pashnina and we have agreed upon some stark differences to the Russian sales climate. Here she will begin to tell you how the Russians see sales.
