Iconic.
The losses from this event are staggering. Technology puts it into perspective.
Une fois les photos assemblées, ça rend le massacre plus visible, et impressionnant. La violence des combats lors de ce franchissement raté par les russes a été décrite comme "inouïe"...
Je veux bien le croire...
Seems very cool
Today, we are open sourcing Tetragon after several years of development. eBPF-based Security Observability & Runtime Enforcement.
What’s the easiest programming language in your opinion?
