Research suggests the habit of deferring happiness — ‘I’ll enjoy life when the kids leave, when I retire, when things calm down’ — isn’t patience, it’s a pattern that simply moves the horizon forward no matter how much you achieve

New research reveals that people who habitually postpone happiness while waiting for the "perfect moment" actually experience more negative emotions in their daily lives, creating a self-defeating cycle where contentment remains perpetually out of reach.

Google уволил инженера за его же Workspace CLI — и через два дня выкатил официальный

Джастин Пёнельт почти семь лет проработал в Google и выложил в опенсорс Google Workspace CLI — тул выстрелил: №1 на Hacker News, под 30 тысяч звёзд, тысячи пользователей за дни. А пару месяцев спустя его уволили. И ключевая деталь: за два дня до увольнения Google анонсировал собственный официальный Workspace CLI. Разбираю обе стороны без рейдж-бейта: где формально прав легал (CLI жил в официальном орге googleworkspace под логотипом и брендом Google... Read more

Метеобрелок своими руками

Мне всегда хотелось посмотреть параметры окружающей среды вдали от дома и прямо на месте. Например, какое давление в самолёте на крейсерской высоте или какая влажность на берегу моря. Отсюда и родилась идея сделать компактную метеостанцию в виде брелока, который всегда с собой и работает продолжительное время на одном заряде. Чтобы не мелочиться, решил сделать сразу мелкую серию таких брелоков. Перейти к статье Read more

The adult who apologises for crying even when alone in their own kitchen isn’t oversensitive, they grew up around someone whose mood the whole house had to navigate around tears

The reflex to apologise for crying alone isn't oversensitivity — it's a leftover safety protocol from a childhood spent regulating somebody else's emotions. Here's what developmental research says about why the apology lingers, and how to put it down. Read more

A Roman shipwreck found off the Greek island of Antikythera in 1901 held a corroded bronze device with dozens of interlocking gears, and X-ray scans later revealed it was an analogue computer built around 100 BC to predict eclipses and the positions of planets.

Sponge divers found a corroded bronze lump in a Roman shipwreck off Antikythera in 1901. X-ray scans revealed at least 30 interlocking gears built around 100 BC to predict eclipses and planetary positions — a mechanical computer 1,400 years ahead of anything comparable. Read more

In 1962, NASA’s Mariner 1 Venus probe veered off course 293 seconds after launch and had to be destroyed mid-flight, because a single missing overbar in the guidance equations turned a smoothing instruction into a command to chase a phantom signal

On July 22, 1962, Mariner 1 became the first American interplanetary probe — and the first to be destroyed in flight. The cause was a single missing overbar in a handwritten guidance equation, which turned a smoothing instruction into a command to chase radar noise. Read more

Harvard psychologists tracked 2,250 people through their days and found that nearly half their waking hours were spent thinking about something other than what they were doing — and that wandering away from the present moment was a stronger predictor of unhappiness than any activity they were engaged in

A 2010 Harvard study used an iPhone app to sample 2,250 people in the moment. Minds wandered 46.9 per cent of the time, and where attention went predicted momentary happiness better than the activity itself. A careful read of what the study shows, and what it does not. Read more

People who are genuinely kind but have no close friends often keep everyone at a kind, gentle distance without realizing it — warm to all, available to many, and quietly letting no one all the way in, because the people who could hurt them most are the ones allowed close

There’s a particular sort of person who is genuinely, reliably lovely to absolutely everyone, and who, if you look closely enough, has nobody they’d actually call a close friend. Warm to all. Available to many. Generous with their time, their attention, their patience. And, without ever quite noticing they’re doing it, letting not one single ... Read more Read more

AI just beat the average human on a creativity test involving 100,000 people, and the researchers say the real question is whether the gap between average and exceptional will hold

The headline writes itself and, predictably, wrote itself badly in most places it appeared.

Some AI models scored above the ... Read more Read more
