But the C.I.A. proposed recruiting those scientists to defect, as U.S. spies had once courted Soviet physicists.... Read more ›

Slashdot reader Kirkman14 writes: A year before the Web opened to the public, Texas entrepreneur Don Lokke was trying to syndicate weekly political cartoons to bulletin board systems.

Эта история началась с подаренной коллегой своей новой книги: читая Jimmy Angelakos’ «PostgreSQL Mistakes and How to Avoid Them», я осознал один напрягающий меня факт — в Postgres команда EXPLAIN выдаёт слишком много информации. И примеры, которые автор обычно приводит, рассматривая тот или иной аспект систем баз данных, усложняют разбор задачи и рассеивают внимание. Так и родилась идея постфильтра для эксплейнов — чтобы сделать их более читабельными и проблемно-ориентированными. Читать... Read more ›

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,... Read more ›
