15 years ago was was google.com



In the beginning of 1996 Larry page, a student at Stanford University, considering various topics for my dissertation began to address the problem of estimating the value of web pages by analyzing the number and nature of references to them. Although this approach, in fact, long been used in conventional citation of scientific works, most of the Internet search engines of that time did an assessment of the importance of a particular page according to how many times the word was mentioned in it.

Soon the project page, code-named "BackRub", was joined by one of his close friends Larry, a graduate student at Stanford, Sergey Brin, received a diploma of bachelor on speciality "Mathematics and computer systems" in Maryland and holder of a scholarship from the National science Foundation.


BackRub the search robot running on a University server, started indexing pages according to the PageRank algorithm in March 1996. Already by early 1997, Larry page described the statistics of your project:

Some rough statistics (from August 29, 1996)
Only indexed pages: 75,2306 million
All downloaded content: 207.022 GB

BackRub is written in Java and Python and runs on the servers Sun Ultra and Intel Pentium running on Linux. The main database is stored on a Sun Ultra II with 28gb available disk. Scott Hassan and Alan Steremberg provided a lot of talented help. Sergey Brin also took an active part and deserves our great thanks.


September 15, 1997 was officially registered domain google.com. In less than a year, page and Brin, while still graduate students, received funding for the not-yet-founded Google of $ 100,000 from Andy Bechtolsheim, co-founder of Sun Microsystems.

Officially, Google released September 4, 1998.

Monitoring PostgreSQL + php-fpm + nginx + disk using Zabbix

Изображение
a Lot of information in the network according to Zabbix, and a lot of bespoke templates, I want to introduce to the audience his modification. Zabbix is a very convenient and flexible monitoring tool. Want a hundred monitor, I want a thousand stations, and do not want to — watch a single server, take the cream in all sections. I would not mind to give to github, if anyone collects similar. It so happened that we decided to put on the hosting database wrapper php-fpm+nginx. As the database is postgres. Thoughts to collect data on the machine was before the purchase of hosting is needed, this is useful! Magic kick up the backside to the implementation of the system gave the brakes a hard drive on our VDS stations at the beginning of the script every minute, put the time and measured by the speed in the file, and then build graphs in Excel to compare to as it was/became, take quantitative statistics. And this is just one option! And suddenly the fault is not VDS, and our a

for more than six months I use a word processor Lyx. Built-in templates is more than enough to write lecture notes, prepare for seminars and to do simple reports for laboratory work. But last semester I had to make two course of the project in accordance with the requirements ESKD. I have begun work in Lyx, but without special templates of documents, my reports in the editor looked like this: A little work, a little reading of the document "Customizing LyX: Features for the Advanced User" and it turned out where the beam: You can use immediately. If you have experience of working in Lyx, problems will not arise. Just in case the attached sample documents. Description of how to make such templates are not yet doing. Someone will ask — will tell. ESKD Screenshot menu select unit type: Group "sections and subsections" appeared due to the fact that the document can be sections with sections without subsections — for their handling of para

It turns out Google for a long time and for all shown . Let's start simple — www.google.com/search?q=Запрос this is the simplest query, in which all options are disabled or parameters are used which are stored in your cookies. Next I will talk about the most interesting and used parameters. If you want to know more, you here . Even though it is called the search parameter, I will use the word token. So any of the marks are for the test, insert the end of the line (if your line is of the same kind as just above). Marker search by country &cr=countryRU Putting this token, we get the results from the specified country. List of acronyms used.
