Friday was "a horrible day" for investors in Duolingo, reports Fast Company. But Friday's one-day 14% drop is just part of a longer story.
Since last May, Duolingo's stock has dropped 81%. Yes, the company faced a social media backlash that month after its CEO promised they'd become an "AI-first" company (favoring AI over human contractors).

Третьего дня я собеседовал начинающего C++ программиста с небольшим опытом работы. Когда речь дошла до денежных ожиданий, я задал закономерный вопрос – сколько ты получал на прошлом месте работы. Молодой человек не ответил, сославшись на соглашение о неразглашении коммерческой тайны – NDA. Этим он показал, что:1) не знает своих базовых прав (что, в общем-то, неудивительно для нашего брата-программиста);2) он готов по приказу дяди ограничивать себя в торге – а это... Read more ›

На пути изготовления даже весьма простых электровакуумных приборов (ЭВП) неумолимо встаёт немало неочевидных технологических трудностей, например, впитанные в электровакуумные материалы, растворённые, «окклюдированные» газы. Газы, удерживающиеся внутри металлов, стекла, слюды весьма прочно при условиях обычных, и бодро выползающих наружу при понижении давления и нагреве — обычном рабочем состоянии внутренностей электронных ламп, из-за чего подготовка для них материалов и откачка существенно усложняется.

Некоторые языки программирования начинают по-настоящему ценить тогда, когда разработчик замечает: значительная часть усилий уходит на решение задачи, а не на борьбу с инструментом. Экосистема Java — хороший пример такого накопленного трения. Она несет в себе наследие решений, принятых десятилетия назад, притом они не обязательно плохие — просто раньше не учитывались те сценарии, которые сегодня стали повседневностью: интенсивная работа с асинхронностью, быстрые итерации, требования к читаемости и поддержива Read more ›

Despite hundreds of billions of dollars in investment, nearly half of planned U.S. data center projects are being delayed or canceled.
