You can’t replace the battery in Lego’s Smart Bricks — and many of its sensors aren’t available yet

The first Lego Smart Brick sets, based on Star Wars, aren't quite what my kids and I hoped, and I suspect much of that's down to programming.

Иногда учёным бывает трудно понять, являются ли данные, которые они видят, реальным физическим явлением или просто ошибкой приборов. В новой статье в журнале The Planetary Science Journal Джессика Саншайн и её коллеги из Университета Мэриленда описывают один из таких запутанных сценариев. В данном случае исследователи заметили веерообразные узоры на поверхности Диморфоса — астероида, в который врезалась миссия DART НАСА, — и подумали, что они могут быть просто глюком съёмки. Но...

Замыкания, декораторы и nonlocal в Python: Путешествие от переменной до элегантного кода

Python славится своей гибкостью. Мы можем передавать функции как аргументы, возвращать их из других функций и даже "записывать" внутрь них состояние. Но как это работает под капотом? И при чем тут странное слово nonlocal?В этой статье мы проследим эволюцию: начнем с глобальных переменных, разберемся с замыканиями (closures), поймем магию nonlocal, а затем соберем всё это вместе, чтобы понять, как работают декораторы — один из самых элегантных механизмов Python.
