In defense of cheap things

A version of this story originally appeared in the Future Perfect newsletter. Sign up here! We live in a consumerist society. But at least speaking for my own social circles, we also live in an anti-consumerist society: We purchase lots of things, and we also feel vaguely guilty about it and brag about all of the ways we […]

Палиха П-750. Последний телефон с АОН двухтысячных

Приветствую всех!Когда-то давно, когда стационарный телефон имелся практически в каждой квартире в крупном городе, стали набирать популярность аппараты с определителем номера. Были они очень у многих, с ними связано много воспоминаний, про них спустя годы было написано немало статей, ну а для кого-то бизнес на их сборке вообще стал возможностью пережить тяжёлые девяностые.В двухтысячные годы такие девайсы начали потихоньку уходить в историю, заменяясь импортными моделями с Caller ID.

Сколько памяти нужно для жизни: стресс-тест старого и нового железа

Не так давно мне попался ноутбук Acer TravelMate B1 TMB118 с 4 ГБ DDR4. Благодаря размеру и маленькому потреблению он идеально подошел под эксплуатацию в виде печатной машинки и простенького редактора кода. Но именно этот малыш заставил меня задуматься: на какие уступки можно пойти по памяти, чтобы комфортно выполнять свою работу. В эпоху, когда комплект из 32 ГБ RAM DDR5 стоит в среднем 40 000 рублей, что сопоставимо с ценой... Read more

Как и почему землетрясение в Японии поставило на паузу производство памяти и материалов для чипов

Недавнее землетрясение у восточного побережья Японии затронуло регион Тохоку — один из ключевых центров полупроводниковой отрасли. В зону толчков попали префектуры Иватэ, Мияги и Фукусима, где сосредоточены производства NAND-памяти, кремниевых пластин и фоторезиста. Предприятия остановили работу для проверки оборудования, и этого оказалось достаточно, чтобы нарушить графики поставок. Причина — в структуре самого рынка: выпуск критически важных материалов сосредоточен среди ограниченного числа поставщиков, и Read more

Бизнесу надо

Меня просто нечеловечески бесит, когда разработчики оправдывают собственную некомпетентность мантрой «бизнесу надо». Если программист любой степени квалификации, от стажёра — до принципала — использует в качестве аргумента в любой дискуссии фразу «бизнесу надо» — знайте, перед вами тупой самозванец, гоните его в шею.

Claude пишет — бот работает: полный цикл создания Telegram-бота

Привет, Хабр!В последние годы разработка ускорилась так, что старые подходы уже не успевают за новыми реалиями. Но дело не в новых языках или фреймворках. Появился другой рабочий сценарий — когда разработчик перекладывает часть рутины на нейросеть и ведёт её через обычный диалог. Это и называют вайбкодингом.Звучит как модный термин, но по факту всё просто: вы меньше печатаете, больше управляете. Ставите задачу, задаёте границы, проверяете результат. И да, промптинг здесь —...

Рыбий жир: не такой уж и полезный, как казалось

Несмотря на постоянное развитие фармакологии и традиционной медицины, народные средства и пищевые добавки продолжают оставаться популярными. Многие из них захватывают внимание людей своей натуральностью, чудодейственными свойствами и абсолютной безопасностью для организма. Проблема в том, что эти заявления часто не подкреплены практическими доказательствами. Ученые из Медицинского университета Южной Каролины (США) провели исследование, в котором установили, что рыбий жир обладает рядом весьма негативных для Read more
