Почему японские компании занимаются всем подряд

Saros очень красивая игра, всем советую. Bullet hell и рогалики не для всех, но позалипать на графон можно. Плюс эстетика машин как из Матрицы мне очень зашла
Netflix, Wikipedia, Airbnb, Dropbox ~ all run on the same web server.
One quiet Russian engineer wrote it alone. For free. 🤯
Meet Igor Sysoev 🇷🇺
> Russian software engineer. Born 1970 in Soviet Kazakhstan.
> Failed his first university entrance exam.
> Joined Rambler in 2000 as a system administrator.
> 2002 ~ started writing a new web server in his free time. Alone.
> Goal: handle 10,000 simultaneous users on one machine ~ a problem Apache (the dominant web server at the time) couldn't solve.
> 2004 ~ released nginx publicly. Free. Open source.
> Zero marketing. Zero PR. Just the code.
> 2008 ~ nginx was serving 500 million requests per day at Rambler.
> 2011 ~ founded Nginx Inc. with co-founder Maxim Konovalov.
> 2013 ~ Netflix scaled its streaming CDN to 40 Gbps per server using nginx.

> 2022 ~ left F5 quietly. No farewell tour. No book deal.
> Today nginx powers Netflix, Wikipedia, Airbnb, Dropbox, Cloudflare, WordPress.
> 33% of every website on Earth runs on his code. Apache trails at 26%. Microsoft's IIS isn't even close.
> Still 100% open-source. Still free.
One man wrote it alone, in his free time, for free.
He never sought publicity. He never asked for credit.
A third of every website on Earth still runs on his work.
Webserver GOAT. 🐐
Spotify wanted one Swedish coder so badly, they bought his 300KB masterpiece just to get him.
You’ve used his code your whole life. You’ve never heard his name. 🤯

> Swedish software engineer. Born January 1981. Goes by "Ludde" online.
> Studied Computer Science at Chalmers University in Gothenburg.
> 2001 ~ at age 20, fell in love with old LucasArts adventure games.
> Problem: those games only ran on ancient PCs.
> So he reverse-engineered them ~ took apart their code, line by line.

Now quietly building the era of AI.
No fame. No equity. Nothing in his name.
Software GOAT. 🐐
Дроздовая мухоловка — одна из немногих в мире ядовитых птиц. На перьях у неё скапливается яд батрахотоксин, который птица получает из пищи: ядовитых жуков (сама она к этому токсину имунна).
Ядовитость птицы выяснили случайно. У учёных, которые брали её на руки, начинали неметь пальцы. Для человека яд птицы не очень опасен, а вот схватившие её животные поменьше могут умереть.
В целом в мире менее 10 ядовитых птиц. Причем они ядовиты не как змеи (не используют яд в охоте), а просто в их организме накапливается яд других существ (например, австралийский голубь часто ядовит, потому что клюёт отравленную приманку для крыс).
