The definitive sign someone has done real internal work isn’t calmness, articulate self-awareness, or the right vocabulary, it’s the absence of urgency to make you understand them before you’ve finished talking

Zed 1.0: эпоха Electron-редакторов — всё

Вчера вышел Zed 1.0. 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

Вы уверены, что таблетки - единственный путь? История, которая ломает шаблоныПолтора года назад моей знакомой поставили диагноз «аутоиммунный тиреоидит». Вердикт районного эндокринолога был стандартным: «Пожизненно принимать гормоны. Другого не дано». Щитовидная железа была в плачевном состоянии, уровень антител зашкаливал.Она не послушалась.

Cursor или его аналоги, здорово облегчают написание кода, когда речь идет о каких‑то не очень больших проектах.

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
