Сходил для интереса на конфу для Java-разработчиков, хотя не пишу на Java уже давно (а на хорошем уровне не писал никогда).
Было много всего интересного, но особенно меня впечатлила лекция об истории развития этого языка. Java, на секундочку, вероятно самый распространённый язык программирования в мире с точки зрения количества разных устройств, на которых он присутствует. То есть буквально один из столпов современной цифровизации всего человечества.
Так вот, когда он только зарождался, компания Sun Microsystems наняла себе в помощь несколько сотен разработчиков из России, бОльшая часть которых сидела у нас в Питере — это были выходцы из матмеха СПбГУ. Более того — в какой-то момент именно питерская ячейка стала крупнейшей по числу инженеров, превзойдя даже ту, которая располагалась в Калифорнии. И люди периодически ездили в США, чтобы синхронизировать свою работу с тамошним офисом (пересылали diff репозитория архивами по почте!).
Потом Sun купила Oracle и постепенно ушла из России. Но вклад наши внесли, оказывается, очень существенный.

🚀 Binance to Launch RateX Trading Competition with Token Rewards
According to the announcement from Binance, the platform is set to introduce the RateX Trading Competition on Binance Alpha. This event will take place over two distinct promotion periods, offering participants the opportunity to earn exclusive token rewards. The first promotion period is scheduled from 2026-04-09 13:00 (UTC) to 2026-04-16 13:00 (UTC), followed by the second from 2026-04-16 13:00 (UTC) to 2026-04-23 13:00 (UTC). Participants will be ranked based on their total purchase volume of RateX (RTX) tokens during each period. The top 2,040 users in each period will share a pool of 61,200 RTX tokens, with each eligible participant receiving 30 RTX tokens.
Participation in the competition requires trading through Binance Wallet (Keyless) or Binance Alpha, as third-party dApp transactions are excluded. Only cumulative purchases will count, with no volume caps imposed on participants. However, token bridging transactions are not eligible. Notably, trading volume from Alpha-to-Alpha token pairs will not contribute to Alpha Points or competition rankings, effective from 2025-06-17 00:00 (UTC). Rewards will be distributed in RTX tokens and must be claimed by eligible users before 2026-05-07 13:00:00 (UTC). Unclaimed rewards within 14 days will be forfeited.
To participate, users must click 'Join' on the Binance App event page, ensuring their trading volume is counted. The latest version of the Binance App and a backed-up Binance Wallet (Keyless) are required. Rankings will be calculated automatically post-promotion, and winners can claim rewards via their Binance Alpha accounts or Binance Wallet (Keyless). Binance reserves the right to amend the terms of the competition at its discretion.
