начало конца
Windows 8: The Beginning of the End of Windows
I have a longstanding rule for evaluating new tech products: Don't judge anything by the demo. I've seen far too many product previews that hid fundamental flaws in usability. Until you can touch and play with the product on your own, seeing the little details of fit and performance that make it delightful or frustrating, you won't really know if it's worth your time.
So it's far too early to make any judgments on Windows 8, which Microsoft just previewed (link). There are an incredible number of ways it could go wrong.
But. I've got to say, this is the first time in years that I've been deeply intrigued by something Microsoft announced. Not just because it looks cool (it does), but because I think it shows clever business strategy on Microsoft's part. And I can't even remember the last time I used the phrase "clever business strategy" and Microsoft in the same sentence.
The announcement also has immense implications for the rest of the industry. Whether or not Windows 8 is a financial success for Microsoft, we've now crossed a critical threshold. The old Windows of mice and icons is officially obsolete. That resets the playing field for everybody in computing.

проверка пароля на надежность
Shown below is the regular expression for password strength with n number of digits, upper case, special characters and at least 12 characters in length.
(?=^.{12,25}$)(?=(?:.*?\d){2})(?=.*[a-z])(?=(?:.*?[A-Z]){2})(?=(?:.*?[!@#$%*()_+^&}{:;?.]){1})(?!.*\s)[0-9a-zA-Z!@#$%*()_+^&]*$
Explanation
(?=^.{12,25}$) -- password length range from 12 to 25, the numbers are adjustable
(?=^.{12,25}$)(?=(?:.*?\d){2})(?=.*[a-z])(?=(?:.*?[A-Z]){2})(?=(?:.*?[!@#$%*()_+^&}{:;?.]){1})(?!.*\s)[0-9a-zA-Z!@#$%*()_+^&]*$
Explanation
(?=^.{12,25}$) -- password length range from 12 to 25, the numbers are adjustable
(?=(?:.*?[!@#$%*()_+^&}{:;?.]){1}) -- at least 1 special characters (!@#$%*()_+^&}{:;?.}) , the number is adjustable
(?=(?:.*?\d){2}) -- at least 2 digits, the number is adjustable
(?=.*[a-z]) -- characters a-z
(?=(?:.*?[A-Z]){2}) -- at least 2 upper case characters, the number is adjustable
насколько эффективны технические интервью
How Effective are Technical Interviews
The worst interview I ever had was a phone screen for an internship, during which two interviewers spewed Java trivia one-liners at me on their speakerphone. At first I felt pretty bad because I wasn't that experienced in Java at that point, and felt that I had done pretty poorly in the interview. I later reasoned that I wouldn't want to intern at a company that didn't probe more deeply into how I tackled problems anyways. That is the extreme end of technical interviews, but I've always wondered how effective technical interviews are at selecting the right people for the job. My suspicion is that people who do well in interviews are generally fine, but that technical interviews may weed out candidates that don't interview well but would actually do a good job.

About Project Euler
What is Project Euler?
Project Euler is a series of challenging mathematical/computer programming problems that will require more than just mathematical insights to solve. Although mathematics will help you arrive at elegant and efficient methods, the use of a computer and programming skills will be required to solve most problems.
The motivation for starting Project Euler, and its continuation, is to provide a platform for the inquiring mind to delve into unfamiliar areas and learn new concepts in a fun and recreational context.
