How powerful is Jupiter's lightning? Thick clouds cover the view, notes Science magazine. But using an instrument on NASA's Juno spacecraft (orbiting Jupiter for the past decade), researchers determined Jupiter's lightning bolts are 100 to 10,000 times more energetic than earth's:
A single bolt of lightning on Earth releases about 1 billion joules of energy. That means the most extreme bolts of jovian lightning carry 10 trillion joules of energy, equivalent to 2400 tons of TNT, or one-sixth the power of th

Мотивацией для написания этого поста стали два года собеседований JS/TS-инженеров. Я интересуюсь языками и функциональным программированием, поэтому всегда «разбавлял» технические вопросы разговором о парадигмах. И заметил любопытную асимметрию.Об ООП кандидаты рассуждали уверенно — но в основном на концептуальном уровне, не вдаваясь в то, как именно ООП реализовано в JavaScript. С FP картина была другой: уверенности меньше, зато критика — конкретная и повторяющаяся: «иммутабельность дорогая по памяти», «ре Read more ›

Его суть проста: тип должен представлять одно значение из нескольких возможных (поэтому реализации называют «OneOf», т.е «один из»).Казалось бы, что это довольно станадртная ситуация и нечего тут бухтеть, но именно c# кажется особенным в этом плане по сравнению с другими языками.

Этот текст — небольшая пародия на переводные бравурные статьи про Artemis. Представим, что в наше время попал материал, написанный в 2126 году к столетию второй миссии программы.Сто лет назад, в апреле 2026 года, Artemis II облетела Луну. Тогда это подавали как начало новой эпохи. Теперь, с расстояния в век, видно другое: именно тогда началась не новая лунная гонка в духе Apollo, а длинная эпоха согласований, комиссий, переходных интерфейсов, «полезных для... Read more ›

There’s a misconception I used to believe, and I’d bet most people still do: that laziness is a character flaw. That the person who can’t get off the couch, who stares at their to-do list without moving, who calls in sick again, is simply choosing not to try. We throw around words like “unmotivated” or ...
