Вторая Западная Сибирь: как забытая идея советского геолога может перевернуть нефтедобычу

Когда мы говорим о будущем российской нефти, в голове обычно возникает стандартный набор образов: ледоколы, буровые платформы в Арктике, сверхглубокие скважины и бесконечная геологоразведка в поисках новых месторождений. Мы привыкли думать, что нефть нужно искать там, где нас еще нет.Но что, если главная нефтяная провинция будущего находится прямо у нас под ногами — на тех самых месторождениях, которые мы считаем «выработанными»? Что, если «вторая Западная Сибирь» — это не новая... Read more

Prepared statements в Manticore Search

Представьте, что вы создаёте мощное поисковое приложение. Пользователи вводят ключевые слова, а ваш бэкенд должен выполнять запрос к базе данных Manticore Search, чтобы найти подходящие результаты.

The people who become the calmest adults are almost never the ones who had calm childhoods. They’re the ones who grew up in houses where someone else’s mood was the weather, and they learned to regulate the entire room before they ever learned to regulate themselves.

The adults who appear most emotionally regulated often developed that skill not from peaceful childhoods, but from growing up in homes where they had to monitor and manage someone else's emotional state before they ever learned to manage their own. Read more
