Doctor-linuxoid or sysadmin-Smith? Ecosystem Habrahabr



Begin with small lyrical digression...


Any population is sustainable is quite diverse in its inner structure. For example, fields of wheat — monoculture system, in natural conditions, wheat can not be found in such density. As a consequence of any pest instantly causes mass death of such a population, if we do not take huge efforts to maintain the system.
Mono — unstable. Any external factor can bring it out of balance. To return to the balance point can only be expending a lot of effort.

Natural meadow — the opposite situation. It is characterized by significant species diversity, complex interrelationships between populations that make up a whole. When exposed to negative factors (pest attack, disease outbreak, etc.), trigger the natural mechanisms of compensation are activated a negative feedback that returns the system to the equilibrium point.
Mixed systems, formed naturally sustainable. Return to the point of equilibrium occurs the system.


What does this have to Habrahabr?


Anyone familiar with the project long enough comes to thinking about the uniqueness of its ecosystem. In the discussions facing views and expert assessments are so different directions that it makes you wonder: "what brings together so many different people?". Habr — system self-regulating, variegated as a patchwork quilt, but at the same time, whole and United. In its structure it is similar to a natural ecosystem, tempered in the crucible of natural selection. It is this quality that distinguishes it from artificially created "interest groups" that fall apart as soon as the moderators weaken the control. He balances around the equilibrium point, giving rise at the junction of specialties, interests and Hobbies of its members, new ideas and wonderful concepts.

I suddenly wondered, is there any among us "pure" IT professionals. The topic 3D printing on the basis of the welding machine suddenly it turns out that among us there are professional welders, people who have their own smithy, managers of chemical plants. Speaking for myself, I am a professional doctor, graduated from College, internship and residency. With all this, IT has become for me something much more than just a hobby. Linux, 3D design, administer small networks — all included in the circle of my interests. Almost every one of us — an odd mixture perfectly incongruous, at first glance, interests. This is what makes our community so flexible and adaptive.

short survey


Very interesting to see how my feelings really correspond with reality. It would be interesting to hear your opinion in the discussions. Happy new year to you, friends))

Something blog MODX habré completely withered, we need to spice things up. I want to introduce you to your component, which has recently been almost completely rewritten and expanded. It's called mSearch and originally conceived as a simple site search with account of morphology of the Russian language. That is, you had a quick and easy solution for any site without installing Sphinx and other major systems. In the process gugleniya, I came across a interesting this task by phpMorphy . Full text search on a table with an index, with the generation of different word forms. The idea I liked, by my criteria it came up and I wrote my solution, basing this method. the mSearch This snippet and plugin. The snippet is looking for the plug-in index documents when saving. Installation, as usual, from the repository, in 4 clicks. At the same time, you will be prompted to download and install for phpMorphy dictionaries of the Russian language — do not give up.

Emulator data from GNSS receiver NMEA

Introduction I had the need to test an application that uses the GNSS data NMEA. was Due to the fact that worked on the project navigation of the aircraft, test the air expensive naturally on earth to drive a car with a GNSS receiver is not particularly convenient, that like sitting at the table to have a virtual parallel port data Protocol NMEA allegedly moving equipment. First, search for different software had to try and find something suitable, but most paid and control of the emulation data is not very convenient, although practically emulate all settings of the NMEA standard. But I needed something simple emulating coordinates, speed, in principle, nothing more was required quite convenient and logical control. So I had to write an app of this kind in C#. Fly_nmea NMEA ("National Marine Electronics Association") — the full name is "NMEA 0183" is a text communication Protocol, marine (typically navigation) equipment together. Data is transmit

The game Let's Twist: the Path into the unknown

earlier this year, a group of experienced developers worked on the game Studio, violating all canons of mobile development. Low influx of users (or rather his absolute lack of), lack advertising budgets and publisher support dismantled the team, and it was decided to take a risk and create something of their own, to prove to ourselves first that big budgets and famous is not the main success factor. In this article I, Arthur, founder and game designer of an indie team ArmNomads Games (consisting of three people), I want to share passed us by in the dangerous wilds of mobile gaming. From idea to final release. The main objective of the idea was the search for a particular publisher and the target audience. We knew that to do something universal is very difficult. Guided by the limited resources and time, it was decided to cooperate with the publisher Ketchapp, but at the same time, have escape routes. To this end, we attempted to combine the minimalistic gameplay and beau
