Как перестать гадать и начать проверять: гипотезы в работе

В 2025 году группа японских исследователей выдвинули гипотезу: если нанести на тело коровы чёрно-белые полосы, как у зебры, то количество укусов кровососущих мух сократится. Учёные создали три группы японских чёрных коров: неокрашенных, с чёрными полосами на белом фоне и с белыми полосами на чёрном фоне — полную имитацию зебры. Результат: у коров, раскрашенных как зебры, количество укусов снизилось на 50%. Именно такое чередование цветов, а не просто полоски, сбивало мух... Read more

TeamPCP: как команда хакеров-любителей «Дюны» закинула в наши Node.js-пакеты червей Shai-Hulud

npm install — такая привычная многим из читателей команда, но за последние пару месяцев она обернулась сущим кошмаром для инженеров по безопасности. И ладно бы всё сводилось к проверке 5 пакетов из package.json, но у каждой зависимости по 10 своих зависимостей, а у тех ещё по 10. В итоге мы тянем 2000, а не 5 пакетов, и тут, кажется, уже руками не проверишь. И именно на этой боли всех безопасников,... Read more

Современный MQTT-сервис на Python

В Python при выборе библиотеки для работы с MQTT почти всегда приходишь к paho-mqtt. Это зрелый и самый популярный клиент, но его API построен на колбэках, а современное Python-приложение живёт в asyncio: FastAPI, фоновые воркеры, асинхронные клиенты и всё это в одном общем event loop.В одном из IoT-проектов я столкнулся ровно с этим. Мне нужен был MQTT-клиент, который без сложной адаптации встраивается в асинхронное приложение и позволяет работать с подписками... Read more
