Researchers found that common nitrile and latex lab gloves can shed stearate particles that closely resemble microplastics, potentially "increasing the risk of false positives when studying microplastic pollution," reports ScienceDaily.
"We may be overestimating microplastics, but there should be none," said Anne McNeil, senior author of the study and U-M professor of chemistry, macromolecular science and engineering. "There's still a lot out there, and that's the problem." From the report: Researchers fo

Господа подрядчики, интеграторы, техподдерживатели, к вам обращаюсь. Возможно приходилось сталкиваться с ситуацией, когда надо срочно причинить немного добра, но для этого кровь из носу нужен дамп транзитного трафика. Некоторые вендоры позволяют через cli снифануть и записать результат в файлик *.cap прям на флешку маршрутизатора. А вот дальше проблема: доступа по FTP/SFTP/SCP к файловой системе нет, а счастье-то вот оно лежит, руку протяни, но достать не получается. Небольшая инструкция Read more ›

После долгого перерыва я вернулся в разработку и с ужасом обнаружил, что мои знания безвозвратно устарели: - недостаточно уметь делать сайты на популярных CMS - требуются знания фреймворков; - бекенд и фронтенд стали разными специальностями; - количество фреймворков и популярных языков программирования стремится к бесконечности.Недавно я перешёл в стадию, когда могу полноценно работать и приносить результат, но наступила эра искусственного интеллекта и генеративных моделей — явился ChatGPT.

I’ve noticed something interesting about the love stories that move me most. They never start with someone searching. They start with someone reorganizing their bookshelf on a Saturday.

В прошлом году у меня вышла небольшая заметка с рассуждениями на тему потенциала использования аналитических систем на базе ИИ для задач прогнозирования и форсайта с очень сдержанными оценками его реальных возможностей.Спустя год хочу вернуться к этой теме: сдвиги в ИИ очень динамичны, в центре внимания сейчас агентский подход и мультиагентные системы, которые уже достаточно крепко стоят на ногах. Одновременно с этим, сложилась и закрепилась уже практически шаблонная риторика относительно «правильного»... Read more ›

Если у компании несколько продуктов, направлений или дочерних бизнесов, нужна система, по которой выстраиваются отношения между брендами внутри одной компании, у которой зачастую есть и платформы, и SaaS-продукты, и кастомная разработка, и консалтинг, и инфраструктурные сервисы. Без бренд-архитектуры всё это сливается в "мы делаем ИТ". И чем же это плохо? Такое позиционирование не продаёт и не масштабируется. Чтобы разобраться, клиенту нужно приложить усилия, в этот момент он невольно переключает внимание. Read more ›

Прошлой зимой я писал тут про «Мастерок» — строительный калькулятор на Flutter для RuStore. Приложение поехало в прод, набрало 4.9 звезды, и в какой-то момент пришло осознание: аудитория смартфонных приложений — это аудитория смартфонных приложений. А человек, который в обед нагуглил «сколько мешков ротбанда на 20 квадратов», в магазин приложений не полезет. Он хочет страницу в браузере. Желательно без куки-баннера на полэкрана, без интерфейса из 2012-го и без того, чтобы... Read more ›
