8 household items that were status symbols in a working-class home in the 1990s that would cost less than a single grocery run today

From cordless phones to CD players, these everyday objects once required months of careful saving in working-class families—yet today they'd barely cost more than your weekly shop at Tesco.

Замена STM32CubeIDE и переход в среду VSCode для Embedded-разработки

Бесплатных IDE для разработки микроконтроллеров не так уж много, а их интерфейс, основанный на Eclipse, вызывает у меня только страдания. В итоге разработка превращается в постоянное переключение с VSCode для редактирования кода в CubeIDE для его сборки и отладки.Но почему бы не собрать все инструменты в VSCode в едином расширении, заодно подогнав автогенерацию проектов под стиль компании/личные предпочтения? Об и будет моя первая статья. Привет, Хабр! Читать далее Read more

Apple’s Supreme Court bid could redefine who controls platform pricing across the app economy

Apple has filed to petition the U.S. Supreme Court in its years-long App Store battle with Epic Games, seeking to overturn a contempt ruling over the 27% commission it charges on purchases made through external payment systems. The move, which follows the exhaustion of Apple’s options in the Ninth Circuit, could determine whether platform owners ... Read more Read more

Playwright: E2E‑тесты на JavaScript, которые не флакуют

Во сколько раз увеличивает доход сквозная аналитика? Оцифровываем воронку продаж продавца теплого пола

Привет, Хабр! Это Сергей Перевозчиков, основатель агентства контекстной рекламы «КонтекстЛаб». Когда ко мне пришёл продавец тёплых полов, у него была типичная проблема: заявки вроде бы были, а вот живых денег от рекламы — гораздо меньше, чем хотелось. Никто толком не понимал, какие кампании действительно приводят к продажам, где заявки теряются по дороге к сделке и какие клиенты в итоге приносят больше выручки. В такой ситуации рекламный бюджет просто сливался.В этом... Read more

Почему ИТ-аудит должен проверять процессы компании

Этот текст родился из разговоров с руководителями, у кого ИТ живет отдельной жизнью. Вроде все есть — сервера, админы, регламенты, — а по факту то кассы встали, то 1С не отвечает, то люди боятся сказать, что что‑то сломали. После каждого инцидента начинаются поиски «крайнего», но толку от этого мало.Меня зовут Мария Богданова, я веду проекты в ALP ITSM и часто приезжаю в компании именно «на пожар».

Hibernate Reactive: опыт миграции, архитектурные компромиссы и скрытая сложность

Наш проект на Quarkus столкнулся с необходимостью более эффективного использования ресурсов под высокой нагрузкой. В поисках решения мы решили попробовать миграцию с классического Hibernate ORM на Hibernate Reactive (HR). В этой статье я поделюсь реальным опытом этого перехода: разберу ключевые архитектурные различия, расскажу о неочевидных «граблях», на которые мы наступили, и покажу на production-коде, какую цену пришлось заплатить за реактивность.Версии используемого ПО: Quarkus: 3.31.3, Quarkus Hibernat Read more

Psychology says the most damaging people in your life are rarely the obviously cruel ones – they’re the ones who were kind just often enough to keep you doubting your own perception

[Перевод] Почему ИИ в биологии — риск системных галлюцинаций?

Почему в биологических проектах уверенность нейронок часто опережает реальное научное понимание, и какие выводы из этого стоит сделать разработчикам. Главный триумф AI в биологии - AlphaFold. Проект не возник из ниоткуда, он опирается на Protein Data Bank PDB базу данных, которую начали собирать еще в 1970-х. Успех модели обеспечили не только алгоритмы, но и десятилетия работы конкурса CASP, где эксперты верифицировали предсказания структур белков. Без жестких стандартов качества никакое GPU... Read more

Amazon's new USPS deal will see postal deliveries cut by 20 percent

Earlier this year, Amazon threatened to cut US Postal Service deliveries by as much as two thirds. Now, the parties have reached tentative a deal that will see USPS deliveries reduced by 20 percent, The Wall Street Journal reported. While not as drastic as first menaced, the reduced volume will deal a financial blow to the USPS. "We’re pleased to have reached a new agreement with USPS that furthers our... Read more

I’m 37 and I realized last month that I haven’t had a real conversation with anyone other than my spouse in over a year — not because I’m antisocial but because every friendship I had required me to perform a version of myself I don’t have the energy for anymore

Last month I was sitting on our balcony here in Saigon, watching the motorbikes swarm through the intersection below, and my wife asked me something that stopped me cold. “When was the last time you talked to a friend? Like, really talked?” I opened my mouth to answer. Then I closed it. Then I sat ... Read more Read more

The difference between people who actually change their lives and people who just talk about it almost always comes down to what they do in the first 90 seconds after waking up

I used to be a world-class life-changer. In theory. I’d lie in bed in our apartment in Saigon, scrolling through articles about morning routines, saving posts about meditation, bookmarking YouTube videos on discipline. By the time I actually got up, I’d already consumed forty minutes of other people’s productivity and done precisely nothing with my ... Read more Read more

I’m 66 and my son sent me a podcast about morning routines and cold showers and I listened to the whole thing to be polite – but the real reason my life changed at 55 was that my wife looked at me one Tuesday and said “I miss who you were before you got so careful” and I never recovered from that sentence

My kid means well. He’s 34, lives out in Colorado, does something with software that I’ve never fully understood despite him explaining it to me at least a dozen times. Last month he texted me a link to a podcast. Some guy talking about cold showers, morning routines, optimizing your day. I listened to the ... Read more Read more

Nobody prepares you for the hardest lesson of your 50s – that some of the people you sacrificed for genuinely don’t remember what you gave up, and it’s not cruelty, it’s just the way memory works when you were never the main character in their story

My brother Eddie needed money in 2004. Not a little. A lot. His wife had left, he was behind on the mortgage, and he called me on a Thursday night with that voice people use when they’re too proud to ask for what they’re about to ask for. I gave him twelve thousand dollars. I ... Read more Read more

Psychology says the people who actually escape loneliness don’t do it by finding more people – they do it by finally dropping the version of themselves that made real connection impossible in the first place

When I first moved to Saigon, I knew almost nobody. I had my wife, a laptop, and a vague plan to build a content business from our apartment in District 7. By any objective measure, I should have been lonely. I wasn’t. Not really. And for a while I thought that meant I’d figured something ... Read more Read more
