The first Telegram BotPrize winners will receive $200,000

in the Spring of 2016 Telegram announced a program to encourage developers called BotPrize with a prize Fund of $1,000,000.


The initiative aims to stimulate the development of bots running on the platform of the Telegram and thus promote the messenger and increase loyalty and user engagement. A good marketing course which provided a lot of free PR and to convey the vision of the "Telegram as a platform" to developers.

For many, including me, it was an additional incentive to proceed with the development of the bot. Still try still like, and hope to get $25,000 — $50,000 USD made the development process much more interesting.

And here on November 11 announced the first winners of the in the sum will receive more than $200,000 USD! This is an average of $40.000 per bot.

Unfortunately my bot DebtsTracker.io while that is not got in prize-winners. It's interesting to see the winners of the competition.

+ =? The next step after GPS module , became its practical application in my project. Maybe someone this post will be more interesting. First, some source data: Required: the Offline mapping service the Integration with QML Features: the the libosmscout — library providing the OSM data in the wrapper with the friendly API the Qt5Location with dev branch summary of the previous 160 series In Qt since time immemorial was a wonderful beam-process QtMobility and he was so wonderful that he lived, he lived, and bent. Yes, of course, he is still here, and even used my N9 and someone's Blackberry, but the fact that Digia will no longer support this API at all. But in Digia are working not fools, they gradually started to pull the pieces QtMobility in Qt5. One such component is a QtLocation. In Qt 5.3, you can see only a piece QtLocation, QtPositioning which refers to Digia. I must say nice stuff, gave her the NMEA from the local socket, and she'

Database replication PostgreSQL-based SymmetricDS

In this article I will tell how to configure database replication for PostgreSQL. For the experiments we use a distribution of Linux CentOS 5.3, although this is not essential. we will use a version of PostgreSQL 8.4.7 and SymmetricDS-2.2.2. What is replication? In fact, it is a mechanism to automatically synchronize the contents of databases running on different servers. As a result of replication of these databases contain absolutely identical data. This is necessary for example in order to provide fault tolerance system (in the case of the fall of the first database server, the work enters the second), or to implement load balancing, different customers can serve different server. For replication you need at least two database servers, so prepare two identical servers with a PostgreSQL database on each. The first is the IP address 10.0.2.20, the second — 10.0.2.21, both gateway 10.0.2.2. You can do a virtual machine like VirtualBox to create two virtual servers and run

Yandex.Widget + adjustIFrameHeight + MooTools

Изображение
Many people know about this cool thing Yandex.Widget . To make your widget be easy enough to write server-side widget and connect it to Yandex.Widget via iframe . To control the widget Yandex offers APIs in a JS object widget , particularly with the help of it you can change the height of the frame under dynamic content (adjustIFrameHeight), it allows to get rid of the vertical scroll bar. But this API has a significant drawback — it is written using jQuery , which deprives developers of widgets for MooTools to use the Widget API. Below I will show how quite simple it is possible to bypass the Widget API to control the height of the frame using MooTools on the side of the widget. As we know from the contents of the frame it is impossible to access the object frame itself, if they are on different domains. To bypass this limitation, a proxy Widget API uses an iframe using hash (the content after # in the src of the frame) which provides for the exchange of comma
