На неделе годовщины запуска и аварии Аполлона-13 я понял, что меньше думаю о взрыве кислородного бака, чем о том, что удалось сделать и до него, и после. Короткие моменты истории демонстрируют ценность надёжных систем более наглядно, чем этот полёт.Наблюдая на прошлой неделе за миссией Артемида-2, я был поражён некоторыми параллелями и различиями между ней и Аполлоном-13. Космический аппарат Integrity Артемиды-2 приземлился 11 апреля, в тот же день, когда был запущен... Read more ›

Обратил внимание на радужку глаза человека как на неповторимую биометрическую характеристику сродни отпечатку пальца Фрэнсис Гальтон. В 1888 году в своей статье в журнале «Nature» «Personal identification and description («Идентификация личности и ее характеристики») он писал, что тело человека можно порезать на микротоме на 800 миллионов слоев толщиной в одну десятитысячную дюйма, и на каждом их них мы под микроскопом увидим неповторимую картинку.

«Наверное, это просто не мое» — знакомая мысль на третьей неделе изучения нового фреймворка, языка или попыток собрать сложный пет-проект?Сначала всё летит как на крыльях, туториалы проходятся на одном дыхании, а потом вы внезапно врезаетесь в невидимую стену.
