The current state of quantum computing
Posted on December 7, 2023, Level beginner Resource Length long
Understanding the concept of quantum physics lays the foundation for distinguishing how quantum computers differ from classical ones. Unlike the binary logic used by classical computers, where computation is confined to zeros and ones, quantum computers leverage a state known as superposition, which allows for simultaneous existence of zeroes and ones.

Posted on October 27, 2023, Level beginner Resource Length medium
Nginx is one of the best popular webservers today. Its popularity is due to the fact that it is very fast and easy to set up. Other side of this popularity - nginx is often being a target of malicious attacks. So, if your nginx is not limited by available resources, your server may totally "fall" when nginx spent all system resources. That's why you should control and limit resources Nginx consumed.
