At the heart of Silicon Valley's meteoric rise is a story etched in the lives of those who shaped it and those who were forever transformed by it. Author Tom Mahon provides an insider's perspective on the birth of the semiconductor industry, which sparked the region's transformation from sleepy farmland to the heart and soul of the high-tech revolution. Through twenty-five extended, in-person interviews you'll meet a diverse cast of characters whose goal was to create technology and tools in service to humanity. In the Afterword to this edition, the author questions whether they accomplished their objectives and urges readers to rise up and rethink technology. What did it take to create the atmosphere that transformed rich farmland into the wealthy center of high-tech? Five climates lined up in just the right way. Educational institutions (Stanford and Berkeley); an attractive location with balmy, Mediterranean-like weather; a history of technology development (Federal Telegraph in the early twentieth century); financial risk taking (the gold rush); and a cultural climate near the center of an ideological revolution (the hippie movement). The Santa Clara Valley had them all. In spades. Before personal computers, or the Internet, or social media came "chips". Inventive minds took advantage of the quad-electron structure and unique properties - insulative and conductive - of silicon to create semiconductors. But Charged Bodies is more than just the story of new technologies emerging from "The Valley of the Heart's Delight." Using an approach like The Canterbury Tales, Tom Mahon captures the spirit of Silicon Valley in the 80s through the stories of the people all around him.

This book is intended for academics, researchers, Ph.D. students, and industrials to learn about Quantum Computing and prepare them to understand the future with its cutting-edge tools. Quantum Computing holds great promise in terms of human life quality especially when combined with Artificial Intelligence (AI). In addition to Quantum Computing, the book focuses on Quantum Artificial Intelligence, quantum machine and Deep Learning, quantum cryptography, and quantum logistics optimization. Applications in weather forecasting, digital soil mapping, skin lesion classification, combinatorial optimization, and urgent transportation, among others, are presented. Quantum computing promises exponentially faster computation and the ability to solve problems that are intractable by classical computers. This challenging field has the power to revolutionize cryptography, optimization, Artificial Intelligence, and simulations that could transform industries ranging from finance to drug discovery. The opportunities of quantum technologies are enormous. The calculations carried out by quantum systems are very fast and their spin-offs in industry are very beneficial. This advance will be more talented by hybridizing it with artificial intelligence. Unlike this gainful progress for our society, quantum technologies unfortunately pose threats. The most striking example is the attack on cryptography. Computer security is highly threatened by quantum technologies. Both opportunities and threats favor the emergence of start-ups, particularly in the fields of quantum computing, quantum communications, quantum post-cryptography and quantum artificial intelligence. Classical computing dealing with data will have to migrate to quantum computing and the sooner the better to ensure data protection.

In an uncertain and complex world, learning is more important than ever before. In fact, it can be a competitive advantage. Teams and organizations that learn rapidly deliver greater customer value faster and more reliably. Furthermore, those teams are more engaged, more productive, and more satisfied. The most effective way to enable teams to learn is by holding regular retrospectives. Unfortunately, many teams only get shallow results from their retrospectives. This book is filled with practical advice, techniques, and real-life examples that will take retrospectives to the next level--whether your team is co-located, hybrid, or remote. This book will help team leads, scrum masters, and coaches engage their teams to learn, improve, and deliver greater results. For nearly two decades, scrum masters, team leads, and coaches have relied on the first edition of Agile Retrospectivesas an essential resource to facilitate better retrospectives. The world has changed. Agile software development and agile retrospectives are no longer novel. This edition builds on recent research, reflects the authors' experiences over two decades, and shares wisdom gleaned from the global retrospective community. Find practical advice to level up retrospective skills. Address the challenges of remote and hybrid retrospectives head on.

Programmers love Go because it is lightweight, easy to work with, and easy to read. Go gives you the benefits of dynamically typed languages (speed of development) while keeping the upsides of strongly typed languages (security and performance). Go is a simple language, but programming in Go is about more than just mastering syntax. There's an art to using Go effectively. Squeeze out the full use of advanced networking and multi-core power for which Go was designed. Save precious coding hours with recipes that help you manage objects, collect garbage, and safely use memory. Tackle Unicode, concurrency, and serialization with ease. All the clean, reusable solutions you need for a wide variety of problems common to Go development. Outfitted with these recipes, your next apps will be more polished and more maintainable than ever. Start out by tackling time and see how the Go time packager provides types that will do most of the heavy lifting for you. Next, work on recipes tailored to the nuances of processing text, like normalizing strings to avoid bugs. From there, whip up some functions on-the-fly and store functions in variables and data structures. Ever wondered why Go seems to be peppered with error handling? Working through the next recipes, you'll discover the benefits, which include more robust code. In the section on HTTP, you'll learn tricks like running multiple HTTP servers on the same port and setting timeouts. With concurrency recipes, you'll limit the number of goroutines to improve performance, give your code awareness of timeouts, and decide when to keep your code sequential instead of making it concurrent. Throughout the book, you'll make Go sizzle following simple recipes and tweaking them to fit your own apps. Using tools like strong typing and concurrency primitives, build a Go codebase that stays maintainable at scale.

В книге А. П. Кудина рассматривается один из наиболее острых вопросов истории древнерусской архитектуры домонгольского периода – роль в ее развитии византийской культуры и самостоятельной русской традиции.
Византийское наследие, послужившее важнейшим источником культурного развития Древней Руси, и глубоко самобытная местная художественная школа создали плодотворный синтез и открыли перед русской архитектурой путь самостоятельного развития. Автор, анализируя специфику строительства ранних каменных храмов Киева периода конца 10-11 в., показывает, как формируется собственная традиция церковного зодчества в эпоху «империи Рюриковичей». А. П. Кудина в равной степени интересуют как художественные, так и конструктивные решения, как идеологическая основа произведений архитектуры, так и изменение типов и форм сооружений.
Книга будет полезна и специалистам, и широкому кругу читателей, интересующихся древнерусской архитектурой.

After completing the first book, Linux Basics for I was eager to dive into the next level of Linux system administration. The foundational knowledge provided in that book was essential for setting the stage for more advanced topics. Building upon fundamental Linux skills, this book is designed to elevate your expertise to handle intricate tasks crucial for senior system administrators. To begin with, we will revisit key administrative tasks, providing a solid foundation for the advanced topics to come. This includes managing files, directories, packages, system services, and user permissions to ensure you’re up to speed. We then dive into the critical aspects of network management, wherein we learn to configure network interfaces, manage IP addresses and routing, set up and secure network services like DHCP and DNS, and monitor network performance using tools such as Wireshark. We then move to explore iptables and firewalld, configure firewalls, implement AppArmor, and perform security audits with Lynis. The chapter also covers monitoring system logs for security breaches and using intrusion detection systems like Snort. Then, the chapter on Database Management demonstrates to work with databases in Linux, including installing and configuring PostgreSQL, designing databases, performing migrations, and securing database systems. This chapter equips you with the skills to manage database operations efficiently. The next chapter teaches you to monitor CPU and memory usage, track network performance, and analyze system logs using tools like Nagios and Zabbix. You will also learn to set up alerts and notifications to maintain optimal system performance. Later, we focus on automating routine tasks using shell scripting, cron, anacron, awk, and sed. You will learn to write scripts for system audits, resource management, and backup and recovery. Finally, the book covers large-scale deployments, Kubernetes, cluster management, load balancing, and kernel customization.
