What did the UFO see when they arrived at RIT ++ 2017

The emotions were so strong that we decided to write an article about the Internet festival only by the end of the summer, waiting for the heat to settle down. Although in reality, waiting for photos and videos from our mobile studio. So, what happened on June 5-6 in Skolkovo?


Life is a boring thing, and every opportunity must be used to make people smile (E. Kusturica)

IT shny Babylon


Theoretically, we assumed that the summer RHS ++ would be different from the autumn HighLoad ++, but we were completely mistaken with the vector of our guesses. It seemed that the festival of Internet technologies would be more light, with fewer hardcore reports and more participants who had little to do with IT. Everything turned out to be exactly the opposite - RHS ++ turned out to be a festival of very serious, hardcore technologies. But he was distinguished from HighLoad by people - they were much more involved, contact and ready for dialogue. Hayload is more introverted, and it is really noticeable. There were 1,800 participants, 14 parallel streams, 23 mitaps, 16 company stands.

The organizers tried to form communications within the festival: for example, channels were organized in Slack and Telegram. They were actively discussing, correspondence was taking place, each participant could ask, ask, leave an important announcement, clarify some details. Moreover, the channels are still alive and active - they ask questions, talk, arrange mini-riots and flash mobs. In general, these are communications that I don’t want to disconnect even after three months.

The stands of the companies were a little different - the summer and the public made their adjustments. So, you could enjoy cool graffiti at the Avito stand, poke around with Vscale's yeti, treat yourself to chocolate chip ice cream and drink cool lemonade.

The shaman made gifts and prizes


The Yeti was very popular. As you can see, someone even managed to drink a friendly creature

Habr also did not stand aside - both days we had a difficult exam, in which we gave to solve problems collected in advance from different companies. Some volunteers stood at the booth for several hours and pushed sheet by leaf with pens - excitement reigned around us. And it's no accident - except for cool stickers and marathon stickers, we distributed invites. Strictly one in hand! And at the end of the second day we had beer on our stand. But we still will tell about it, it is a separate epic.

By the way, here are these tasks, solve with pleasure
Question from Parallels

2. What is RVI, what is needed, how does it work (in general terms)?

Question from the company "Aladdin RD"
Windows: Why does the system raise IRQL to DPC before capturing a spin-lock?

Windows: Suppose you have a device stack that has a filter that compresses data. How to read data in compressed form?

Question from the company Badoo
Your colleague, the only one who writes on Go, flies on a business trip and is currently above the Atlantic Ocean. The admins woke you up in the middle of the night and say that the colleague’s program gives the only “access denied” error without any details. Millions of dollars are flying into the tube. What actions will you take this night to fix your now former colleague's school?

The task of the company Mail.ru Group
Boy Onuphrius lives in an eight-bit (unsigned) world. Onuphrius put in the piggy bank 181 rubles. On his birthday, his parents gave him another 75 rubles. How much money does Onuphrius have now?

The task of the company Innopolis University
A very talented two-meter basketball player demonstrates his toughness and throws the ball from his head into the sooooo high basket hanging - at a height of 15 meters. The ball soars into the air at a vertical speed of 16 m / s. Is there a chance for a very talented basketball player, if (in the style of all physical tasks) it is assumed that air is pumped out of the gym,
and the acceleration of free fall by cunning manipulations brought to 10 m / s2?

Children living in 4-dimensional space do not build card houses - this is very boring. Instead, they build such pyramids: they lean the tetrahedron of the next layer on three vertices of the previous one. Each small tetrahedron weighs 1 gram and has a height of 1 cm. How much does a pyramid weigh in meter height?



You from the previous developer got this code.

#include <stdio.h> #include <pthread.h> int x, i = 0, r = 0; void* busy_worker(void* arg) { int shift = *((int*)arg); for (x = shift; x < shift + 500; x++) r += x; i++; return NULL; } int main() { pthread_t t1, t2; int s1 = 0, s2 = 500; pthread_create( &t1, NULL, busy_worker, &s1 ); pthread_create( &t2, NULL, busy_worker, &s2 ); while(i < 2); printf("result = %d\n", r); } 

What does this code do? What is wrong with it (with the code, not with the developer)? List as many problems as possible.

Question from M.Video company
Vmware has an interesting VMware Fault Tolerance technology that allows you to protect virtual machines using continuous availability clusters that allow you to instantly switch to its “shadow” working copy on another ESX server in case of a failure of the host virtual machine. However, this technology is not widely spread. Why?


Participants solve habrazadachi from companies

Opposite of us was one of the most attractive in every sense of the word stand Alpina Publisher publishing house with hundreds of books on design, design, presentations, and even smart and useful books for children. We no, no, yes, and came up to look through the next edition. They were all beautiful.

And in the midst of this Babylon a spontaneous orchestra with beautiful invigorating melodies suddenly struck — only Kusturica could do that. Believe it or not, but it was this event that set the defiant tone and energetic pace of the whole event. It was one hundred percent hit.


The mood on RHS ++ was wonderful: there was a warm rain-fog outside the window, in Skolkovo it was fun, clever, creative

But the director's part did not end there either - a stunning shaman walked along Skolkovo both days, famously dancing with pretty participants under the still unfinished “Mushrooms” “Ice is melting between us”. Still this shaman would have nasamanil a stable Internet connection, he would not have a price. Alas, Internet speed interruptions are the technological curse of the Moscow School of Management SKOLKOVO. It was, perhaps, the only thing that sometimes spoiled the mood.


The shaman did not leave anyone indifferent. Fox also delivered

By the way, he turned out to be a big fan of Russian pop music. For now you can study the device


Even the shaman could not pass by the UFO stickers - so he strengthened his abilities.

Internet territory


However, external brilliance means nothing if there is no content. The content of RHS ++ was so intense that our two text translators continuously cursed and were torn between the sections they wanted to go to. Any audience could find reports to your taste or participate in numerous events within RIT ++.

Sections with reports


The entire RIT ++ was divided into several thematic conferences. Moreover, the speeches of all the speakers of the sections were deeply thematic. What always pleases at the festivals of Oleg Bunin is the time of the report - in one hour you can catch up and perfectly expand the topic and answer the questions. The lack of technical overlays with presentations and microphones turns each section into a continuous stream of selected and necessary information.


Some reports lacked space.



Peter Ludwig tried to conquer the invincible. Or not?





Hayload girls Percona Light and Nastya


The guys from ITSumma even had to work at the conference. Still, when they have such projects! Julia strictly followed the process




Mitapy


Another form of work of experts at RIT ++ is numerous meetings. In small and large halls, people gathered who discussed issues in a sharp debating form. However, the form was pre-guaranteed content. Here are just a few topics that we managed to drop in for a few minutes and warm our ears:


Judging by the discussions, of particular interest to the participants was a mitap, or rather, a master class on microservices and Kubernetes. We also noticed that spontaneous mitapas and master classes were created in Skolkovo's free mini-negotiation rooms - another good tradition of Oleg Bunin's conferences.
Yes, everything was fine :) The main thing is that the conference does not deteriorate, there are still many opportunities to listen to the most very different specialists, expand your horizons and deepen your knowledge. It was and remains the most important. Everything else is trivial. However, I like the fact that you always change something and add. In itself, this benefit may not bring, but there is a sense of dynamics and the desire to develop. It is encouraging.

Highlighted events


In the framework of RIT ++, separate streams “under the wing” of companies were held - a series of reports combined into one conference. This year it was:



PostgreSQL - the birthplace of elephants

These sections allow you to communicate within a narrow interest group and pay more attention to practical issues. And of course, this is an opportunity for companies to demonstrate their experience, and for participants - their own. Sometimes they find each other.


Participants continue to solve problems at Habr's stand

In addition to official events from the organizers, the communication took place continuously - on the sidelines, canteens, on sofas around the perimeter of Skolkovo, on coffee breaks and company stands. For the sake of interest, we approached small groups, listened - all conversations concerned experience, best practices, and work. Actually, similar to such festivals are good - you return to work with ideas, and sometimes with ready-made solutions.


Habr's stickers scattered in the blink of an eye

The UFO flew in and left an inscription there.


Habr has long found his corner in Skolkovo, and very immodest - still, apart from the stand, we need to place a whole studio where we interviewed the most interesting, bright, recognizable speakers. This year we went to the experiment and asked some professionals to interview other professionals. Our idea was perfect - the conversations were easily stuck, these were whole discussions beyond the question-answer format.


The cunning web of our studio lured the best speakers


They basked in the glory of the spotlights

We filmed more than 10 hours of video and that was just when solid videos came out. By the way, 47% of the participants noted the Habrakhabr stand as the most useful.


Our producer of native projects is Katya and Oleg Bunin. “Vooot so many people on RHS ++. Such plans for the future. ”


Denis came and left a UFO there


Guess who is sitting back

Answer is inside

This is Denis Kryuchkov, the founder of Habr. And the UFO is always with him (in the sense in the upper right corner)

An interesting conversation took place with the founder Habr Denis Kryuchkov with the adviser to the President on the Internet Herman Klimenko. This is Versus Battle, and not what you saw on Youtube for 20 million views.



Hardcore interview with Ivan Vasilyev, design director of Alfa-Bank:



The most honest interview with Peter Ludwig (English):



Beautiful Maxim Dorofeev, "doctor-procrastinologist." In the interview, you will find out what words can not be said in the studio:



In the interview was our chip - all the interlocutors spoke not only with habra reporters, but also with the UFO itself, which asked sharp, short and provocative questions. Some were even lost.

Habrahabr traditionally did not confine himself to a studio, but held a round table on HR and technological evangelism with the participation of evangelist Alexander Belotserkovsky from Microsoft, devrel Avito Mikhail Klyuev, Alexander Serbul from 1C-Beatrix and Olga Bely from My Circle. Feels like listeners and presenter, one hour of the round table flew like 10 minutes. It was hot in places!



It was so interesting with the speakers that Marika was forced to interrupt IT conversations with the help of harsh signs:



In parallel, our reporters lead text online on both days of the conference, twisting 27,000 steps a day across Skolkovo.


A rare photo - online from the inside. And at the same time, the laptop of one of the Habr moderators. Burning fan of three browsers at once! (actually, Firefox was also there)


UFOs sometimes need maintenance

Columbia can't imagine what hardcore was


However, hardcore was not limited to sessions of conferences and reports. On the first day in the tent, we celebrated Habr's birthday and poured fine beers for everyone.


Remember the Black Lord? He was there


Let's see rock at this Moscow School of Management SKOLKOVO!

In the meantime, everyone sipped habrapivo, teams consisting of IT people played from the scene. Wet and warm weather has a little ruined the participants, and they leisurely talked in the courtyard.


There was no rain, there was a pleasant fog. Communicated in a warm atmosphere in every sense


Board games have captivated many

At the same time, almost until late at night, on the territory of Skolkovo, there was a hot competition in cybersport and unhurried board game tournaments. Words do not convey the degree of excitement and emotional tension from the site. All literally burned out.


No photo will convey the atmosphere of competition in eSports. It was a glow

Well, nothing, the morning special charge fixed it.

And while you are reading this post, the preparation for HighLoad ++ is going on with might and main - the autumn is here, it's time to raise the issues of high-loaded projects. By the way, this year there will be IoT and blockchain. Get ready!


The shaman was simply told that quite a bit was left before HighLoad ++
