We often associate popular science literature with hard science, while not paying enough attention to the communication of humanities' knowledge. So, for today’s selection, we’ve picked three great books on society, social bonds, and literature.
This university can make you LOVE sports even if you didn’t before. Let me explain how.
What is it like to rewatch on the big screen the films that won almost all the Oscars in the early 2000s?
I find myself screaming "I don’t have time for this!" at people several times a day. It seems like someone vicious has stolen it from me just to see me suffer. At times like that, when you rush from one task to the other, unable to take a breath, it seems that it will never end and you can do nothing to make it any better. But actually, you can! In this post, I will tell you my four key principles that I use to deal with overwhelming times in life.
ITMO University is known as one of the best places for those who want to excel in engineering, science, or innovations. However, despite such a heavy emphasis on technologies, it also gives students an opportunity to express themselves through art, something many people would not expect.
There are many reasons to love fiction. I, for one, appreciate the opportunity to immerse myself in someone else’s story and witness events that I myself wouldn’t ever experience. In today’s compilation, we’ll share three novels by three great authors that will make you forget about reality.
This all happened a while ago, sometime in the early 2000s. On the tram, I heard two young men talking about their buddy who had just placed second in a gaming championship in the US. The game, I believe, was Quake, which is believed to have given the start to the term "esports."

Each of us has days full of gloom, when nothing amuses us, and we don’t want to do anything. In moments like this, it’s very important to devote time to yourself and your favorite things, which can brighten any cloudy day and cheer you up.
On November 10, 2020, Apple introduced M1, the new ARM-based chip. We all know ARM CPU architecture is dominating the mobile market and Apple already has a powerful line of SoC processors called Apple Silicon (e.g. A14, A13, and so on). So, what is so new about this one? Well, this chip is for the new MacBook (though the previous MacBooks which used x86−64 CPU architecture). At this moment things become much more interesting. Servers typically use a variety of architectures including POWER, ARM, amd64 (x86−64), IA-64, and so on. On the other hand, the x86−64 architecture completely dominates the desktop segment while low-power devices such as smartphones use ARM (however you can find amd64-based tablets in stores). Can Apple change the balance by bringing the ARM-powered laptop into the market?
The May holidays are approaching. A few days when everything comes together — good weather and a break from studying and work. I always want to get as much out of these days as possible.

How do you spend those days in the city?
