Today is the first day of a two-week vacation that I'm going to spend quite relaxed. But I spent the day mostly one-on-one with my young son, who will be two years old in the fall. We painted watercolors with him, played horses, cooked food and played other games. As a result, when my mother returned home, traces of our activities and artifacts were visible at home, like those presented in the drawings ... and my father went to rest and finish reading a book about artists - perhaps Kiryush will become one of them:)

I love reading books about evolutionary change — they refine the path that other people have traveled in a different context — but it’s usually an interesting path because it’s not interesting.
I love reading books about evolutionary change — they refine the way other people have gone in a different context — but it’s usually an interesting path, because uninteresting stories don’t make it to the bookshelf. One such book about evolutionary development was a book about Haier, a home appliance company. This is a story about the evolution from a loss-making plant to a global superplatform.

The second chapter deals with how the background adds context and forms the subtext of what is happening in the frame or on paper.

“The perfect algorithm. Tim Rafgarden's "Fundamentals" is a cool book if you ignore the translation. The author is very simple about algorithms.

But the difference is that it is not the two armies that have come together, but the two leaders of the Bacongo tribes are fighting for the favor of animals.
