Generic Repository обещал три вещи — не сдержал ни одной и забрал доменную модель

Сколько раз вы реально меняли базу под приложением? Generic Repository – первое, что тащат в проект, и последнее, в чём сомневаются, – держат ровно ради этого. У меня за карьеру смена базы случилась дважды, и оба раза репозиторий полетел в корзину вместе со всем слоем. Это лишь первое из трёх обещаний, которое он не сдержал, а по дороге тихо забрал доменную модель. Как именно – на реальном кейсе с Mongo,... Read more

The largest review ever conducted on opioids for acute pain found that these widely prescribed drugs often deliver only small, short-lived benefits. For many common conditions, including some surgeries and kidney stone pain, opioids performed no better than a placebo. Researchers also found higher rates of side effects and warned that dependence can begin after only a short period of use. Read more

Scientists have uncovered a hidden immune system "brake" that may help cancers avoid being destroyed. The molecule, called SLAMF6, weakens the body's cancer-fighting T cells and can leave them exhausted over time. Researchers developed antibodies that block this brake, allowing immune cells to stay stronger and attack tumors more effectively in mice. Read more

A surprising study suggests that chemicals introduced to protect the ozone layer may have unintentionally created a growing global pollution problem. Researchers found that refrigerants and certain anesthetic gases have generated more than 335,000 tonnes of trifluoroacetic acid (TFA), a highly persistent "forever chemical," that has been deposited across Earth's surface since 2000. The pollutant is now showing up everywhere from rainwater to remote Arctic ice, and scientists expect levels... Read more

This idea could help explain how these rare particles reach Earth and provide new clues about the powerful cosmic explosions that create them. Read more
