Как определить жизнь? Саморепликация с изменениями, робастность и мультивёрсные кристаллы

Что такое жизнь? Чем живая материя отличается от неживой? Эти вопросы вряд ли волновали древнего человека, который одухотворял всё, что движется и реагирует на внешнее воздействие. Нам свойственно проецировать свой разум на природные явления и верить, что всё в мире происходит по воле духов или богов.

Excel и стратегия: где заканчивается удобство и начинаются проблемы

Excel — наш надежный, привычный, предсказуемый друг и соратник. Он прекрасно работает там, где нужно посчитать, сверстать бюджет или собрать небольшой отчет.
