Wolfram Alpha can determine what type of aircraft are now flying over you



And not only. This service will also be able to tell what company the plane belongs, and where he was going. In order for all to know, you only need to know your coordinates and score in the search string the query type "flights overhead". This can be done in desktop browser and mobile browser (if you enable geolocation, everything is just perfect). The search results surprise you, they can see in the screenshot below.

As mentioned, you get a complete list of aircraft currently in close proximity to you (identified as planes with small deviation from the specified coordinates). Shows and map of the sky showing the location of planes near you.



For more information on a particular flight you can click on the plane. This displays full information about the flight including flight duration, a full map of the flight, the time spent in the air, and so on. In the future the developers will include this feature as eavesdropping on conversations of passengers and monitor them.

Yes, there is one thing on desktop browsers the map of the sky is displayed (the function is called Sky Map), but in mobile browsers. But with the help of the item "Angle" problem is solved in a mobile browser. Interestingly, the Wolfram Alpha app for iPhone and Android phones. But to use the Wolfram Alpha app on mobile devices for tracking flights, it makes no sense, quite a work and simply request in the mobile browser.

Performance comparison of hierarchical models, Django and PostgreSQL

Изображение
Good day, dear readers. Today's article will be devoted to the comparison of models of working with hierarchical data in PostgreSQL via Django app. In the article I specifically do not use a clean implementation in the database, because I'm interested in is performance in an environment close to combat. All tests were performed on my data and results are relevant for this data on your data the result may differ from that obtained in the article. Model implementation of the hierarchical structures in the database For working with such structures in PostgreSQL you can use the following modely : the Adjacency model (AM) — model, when the column is stored parent; the Nested Sets (NS) model when paired column stores the range of all sub-elements; the Materialised Path model (MP) model, when the column is stored the full path to the element. Also details about the implementation of hierarchical structures in a relational database, you can read here . To imp

From Tomsk to Silicon Valley and Back

We have heard many times: "you Sit here in the Tomsk and don't know what is happening on the front lines. That will come to Silicon Valley you will open your eyes to the world." Again I say, you need to go. We planned a trip for January, coinciding with the opening of beta version of our service . A little less than two months later we returned to Russia. And indeed, we have discovered many new things. The most interesting discovery was what is today Silicon Valley is a valley CEOS, marketers, managers and anyone, but not developers. For us it was a big advantage, because we're nerds. We even know how to insert video in Wordpress. With the sound problem, we recommend you to turn it off. But Valley came out pretty good. All the best and just good professionals recruited by Google, Facebook, DropBox, LinkedIn and the hundreds of top companies. There they were provided with comfortable conditions for all criteria. The salary for most engineers is not
