Пять лет работы, миллион с лишним строк на Rust, публичная превьюшка, которой ежедневно пользовались сотни тысяч разработчиков, и вот команда Zed Industries во главе с Натаном Собо запостила релиз 29 апреля 2026 года. Я лет пятнадцать живу в IDE от JetBrains. Пробовал VS Code. Пробовал Cursor. Гонял code-server на удалённой виртуалке. Ничего не приживалось. Zed прижился, и релиз 1.0 — нормальный повод объяснить, почему.Если коротко: больше... Read more ›

Вердикт районного эндокринолога был стандартным: «Пожизненно принимать гормоны. Другого не дано». Щитовидная железа была в плачевном состоянии, уровень антител зашкаливал.Она не послушалась. Вместо аптеки она ушла в топовую клинику Краснодара, где ей прописали… диету и БАДы. Без единой таблетки левотироксина. Жёсткие ограничения, исключение целых групп про Read more ›

Cursor или его аналоги, здорово облегчают написание кода, когда речь идет о каких‑то не очень больших проектах. Но стоит попробовать применить их к серьезному, сложному проекту, состоящему из нескольких репозиториев, и тут же сталкиваешься с тем, что эти «чудеса» оборачиваются просто огромными счетами за токены. Я в этой статье поделюсь, как мне удалось перестать впустую сжигать миллионы токенов. Для этого пришлось собрать и запустить три MCP‑сервера по протоколу Model Context... Read more ›

Scientists have finally cracked one of the biggest mysteries in the senses: how smell is organized. By mapping millions of neurons in mice, researchers discovered that smell receptors in the nose aren’t random at all—they’re arranged in neat, overlapping stripes based on receptor type, forming a hidden structure scientists never knew existed. Even more striking, this layout mirrors how smell information is mapped in the brain, revealing a coordinated system... Read more ›
