Scientists Crack the Case of 'Screeching' Scotch Tape

The screeching sound that Scotch tape makes when you rip it off a surface -- that fingernails-on-a-chalkboard noise most people try not to think about -- is produced by shock waves from micro-cracks that travel across the peeling tape at supersonic speeds, according to a new paper published in Physical Review E.

Researchers led by Sigurdur Thoroddsen of King Abdullah University in Saudi Arabia used simultaneous high-speed imaging and synchronized microphones to capture both the propagating fractures and t

Три мифа, на которых горит dev-бизнес: почему армия джунов и магия ИИ не спасут ваш проект

Привет, Хабр! Часто, заходя в крупные ИТ-проекты, мы наблюдаем одну и ту же картину: заказчики выбирают «странные пути», которые кажутся логичными на бумаге, но на практике сжигают миллионы рублей и годы времени. Это не просто ошибки планирования, а фундаментальные мифы, которые до сих пор живут в головах топ-менеджмента. Недавно мы собрались с коллегами, чтобы препарировать эти заблуждения. Если вам ближе видеоформат, полную версию нашего разговор можно посмотреть на Youtube, а... Read more

Mixing up your workouts might be the real secret to a longer life. Long-term research tracking over 100,000 people for more than three decades suggests that doing a variety of physical activities—rather than just more of the same—can significantly lower the risk of death. Interestingly, the benefits don’t keep rising endlessly; they seem to level off after a certain point, hinting at a “sweet spot” of activity. Read more

Почему Go-сервисы начинают тормозить без ошибок (и при чём тут goroutines). Часть 1

Часто про Go говорят: «это язык, где конкурентность почти бесплатная».И знаете что? Это правда. Почти.Но «почти» — это самое опасное во всей истории, так как либо ты управляешь системой, либо она управляет тобой руками runtime'а.В трёх статьях я разберу путь, через который проходит почти каждый Go-разработчик от наивного «я добавил go — получил параллельность», до взрослого «я проектирую concurrency-систему с понятными границами».

gerpo: repository pattern для Go через указатели, без struct tags и кодогенерации

Я пять лет писал на .NET, и там у меня сложилась привычка держать доменную модель отдельно от инфраструктуры хранения. Repository pattern — не как догма из книги Фаулера, а как рабочий способ не тащить DbContext, маппинги и названия колонок в сущности. Домен остаётся доменом. Когда я перешёл на Go, меня сразу царапнули struct tags. Читать далее Read more
