The twentieth century was the time of physics: Einstein's Theory of Relativity, great explorations in the field of celestial bodies and tiny nanoparticles, the invention of computing machines. All these discoveries breathed new life into other sciences, especially biology: the DNA structure study by J.Watson, F.Crick, M.Wilkins, and R.Franklin, the international Human Genome Project, modern treatments, etc. All these findings would have been impossible without physics. Breakthroughs in physics allowed biology to explore the world of cells and molecules. Therefore, there is an opinion that the century is the time of biology: hundreds or thousands of biological experiments and investigations are conducted every day. These research projects require knowledge in different fields and the work of multidisciplinary teams.
Recently I have caught myself thinking that my secret book with passwords contains over 100 entries. Trying to remember all of them is not an option. Most of them are extremely complex and look like some alien language, containing numbers, lower and upper case letters, symbols, etc. This book has become a real troublemaker for me. What will happen if I lose it? That would be a nightmare.

As a Russian student I can confirm that PE classes in our schools are considered optional by kids. Fake notes from the doctor, absence at the lessons, and "I forgot my uniform" are very common excuses. What about the rest of the world?
More and more businesses are integrating machine learning algorithms to automatize manufacturing and reduce costs. To train neural networks capable of producing sufficient quality so that the result could be considered acceptable and models could be integrated into business processes, high-quality data is required. This can be achieved by selecting a training dataset and checking its quality.
I’ve been a huge mystery fan since I was a kid. I love it so much that once, when I was around twenty, I decided to re-read all the Sherlock Holmes stories in chronological order. But what makes a good whodunnit? You know you’re reading a brilliant novel when you’re so inside the story that you forget about unmasking the murderer. Read on to discover three great detective novels of the last decade.
Recently, I received an invitation to visit the Russian Museum. It made me think about the impact modern culture makes on us. These days, with the increasing role of modern technologies, artists can find a new definition of their role in art. That is why going to a museum is the best way to find out something new about the Russian culture and admire the oeuvres of creators .
Many people claim that winners of various competitions aren’t good at practical tasks, even prominent people in the field of IT, such as Peter Norvig. The discussion of this question flared up again in the comment section of a video (in Russian) on the phenomenon of Russian programmers that was published on the Russians Are Ok YouTube channel. In two weeks, more than 215,000 people have watched it. I wrote a big text (in Russian) about this discussion but now I’d like to summarize it here as well.
Drinking coffee has become an everyday habit for many of us. Choosing a coffee house or a package of coffee beans in a shop can be a problem for a non-professional. As well as other products, coffee can be of different quality and that influences the taste. So where can we find the perfect cup?
