Минус 500 MB: оптимизируем Docker-образ Django-приложения

Когда Docker-образ backend-приложения начинает весить 1,5 GB, это уже хороший повод хотя бы посмотреть, что вообще лежит внутри. Пока все работает, мало кто задумывается, сколько мусора, dev-зависимостей и ненужных файлов уезжает в production вместе с приложением. Но на самом деле от «лишнего веса» нужно избавляться, потому что каждый лишний мегабайт — это более долгие сборки и дополнительные сложности.   Читать далее Read more

Scientists examining amber from Goethe’s personal collection discovered three hidden fossil insects, including an extinct ant preserved in extraordinary detail. Advanced 3D imaging allowed researchers to see not only the ant’s outer features but also structures inside its body. The findings offer new clues about the species’ biology and suggest it likely built large nests in trees. Read more

For decades, pancreatic cancer has been one of the most lethal cancers, with few effective treatment options. A new drug, daraxonrasib, targets the KRAS mutation that fuels most pancreatic tumors—something many scientists once thought couldn't be done. In a major clinical trial, the treatment nearly doubled survival for patients with advanced disease and reduced the risk of death by 60%. Read more

Mangroves are famous for trapping vast amounts of carbon, helping slow climate change. However, a new study suggests rising sea levels could eventually reduce that benefit across entire forests. As flooding becomes too extreme, mangroves may die off and their carbon-rich soils could erode, potentially turning these coastal ecosystems from carbon sinks into carbon sources. Read more

Scientists have uncovered unexpected quantum complexity inside cobalt, a metal long thought to be fully understood. Advanced measurements revealed a dense network of topological electronic states that remain robust at room temperature. These states enable extremely fast electron behavior and can be switched or controlled using magnetism. The discovery could open new paths toward next-generation computing and spin-based devices.
