  What is more valuable: innovative technology or convenience of use and durability? I may say the latter, though companies are usually neglecting this fact. We can see some strange and completely unacceptable devices pretty often, trying to enter the market and conquer the customer. Fortunately, people are relying on some feedback from testers and rarely do get caught surprised, for example with the Samsung Galaxy fold series after a day of use. I explore the market and choose the best suitable for me with an acceptable price, but I’m not sure that others have the same attitude which can lead to disappointment. Today, I will talk about the situation with the sensational design from Puma a couple of years ago. A pair of designer trainers have sparked a wave of controversy after the shoe design was said to bear an uncanny resemblance to Adolf Hitler. The toe and tongue of the Puma 'Storm Adrenaline' shoes, which retail for £75 in the UK or $44.99 in the US, have been likened...

Today I’m going to talk about the IT sphere and workers of my home country – Ukraine. Despite today’s actions in eastern, northern, southern, and central parts, IT companies are still managing to function, though in distance work mode. Before the wartime started, we had a truly big IT sphere with its main center in Kyiv, there was great competition for all positions in every more or less large company. We have lots of offices and employees all around the country, that do a great job for the benefit of Ukraine’s economy. Actually, our government has provided convenient conditions to promote IT business including lower taxes and an easy startup process. As for a truly professional specialist, I have seen some individuals when I was working as an intern in a company. The first impression of such people is that they tend to be dedicated to their responsibilities and work in general. They have a passion to create something new and unique and proper skills to implement their thoughts. This i...

  Since my childhood, the Internet was slowly creeping into humans’ lives and now has become a crucial part of everyday routine. The course I have decided to study promotes using various web resources not only to get some knowledge but to share it as well. I’m using Telegram, YouTube, Instagram, and other platforms and sometimes you should do a lot of patient work not to start a conflict. I have decided to write about the seventh “Commandment”, helping to keep flame wars under control and what do I think about it. Unfortunately, my home country is facing extremely difficult days due to “friends from the east”. Wars on the Internet between Ukrainians and fans of a mad dictator have appeared long ago, somewhere around 2014 or even earlier. Tons of “bots” with prepared in advance texts usually flicker under YouTube videos of national TV channels or Ukrainian bloggers’ channels, who shed light on some political things with the strict pro-Ukrainian position. But recently, a year befor...

  The term copyleft was beyond my knowledge before reading the article. But, as I understood, it is a very convenient method to share your code. The principle is that: if your original code is free to use, the copies or upgrade of this code should as well be free to use. It has been made so, to contribute to the development, for example, Linus Torvalds and his Linux. Even if we look at the word “copyleft”, we can see the difference between the latter and the word “copyright” which is restricting the usage of some software or other kind of thing. As for copyleft types, there are only a couple of them. The first is strong copyleft which is a license that applies to all derived works and software components in the package. [1] The most well-known free-software license using strong copyleft is the GNU General Public License. A stronger copyleft license is the AGPL, which requires the publishing of the source code for software as a service use case e.g. when software is deployed on se...
