764 I noticed last winter that I have been answering ‘how are you’ with ‘busy’ for twenty years, and busy was just the word I used so nobody would ask the actual question I wasn’t ready to answer about whether any of this still felt like mine

I noticed last winter that I have been answering ‘how are you’ with ‘busy’ for twenty years, and busy was just the word I used so nobody would ask the actual question I wasn’t ready to answer about whether any of this still felt like mine

The word 'busy' is a piece of social technology that performs as an answer while being an evasion. After two decades of using it, you may discover the script has eaten the question underneath.

Ecommerce на Laravel, или как мы собрали headless-слой для фронтов (6 часть)

В этой части собираем headless-слой для фронтов: Gateway, композицию API, SDK, ETag, SSR, идемпотентность и единые правила работы с запросами. Привет, хабровчане. Это снова Алиса, снова Laravel, Bitrix и попытка не превратить фронтенд в распределенный монолит. К этому моменту у нас уже есть быстрые доменные сервисы: каталог, корзина, цены, заказы, интеграции. Но фронту от этого не сильно легче. Ему все еще приходится ходить в десяток ручек, собирать ответы, следить за... Read more

Делаем ностальгический фильмоскоп на Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W

Один из ярких воспоминаний детства — просмотр семьёй диафильмов. Выключался свет, и на самодельном экране из простыни мы смотрели сказки. Детское воображение дорисовывало детали, и картинки оживали.Сейчас в эпоху интернета, мультимедиа и ИИ вроде бы как такой необходимости нет, но слишком сильное чувство ностальгии. Поэтому решил получить ностальгические воспоминания с использованием современных технологий, а заодно и попрактиковаться в использовании энкодеров, разработке программ на Си и настройке Linux на Read more

Quote of the day by Carl Jung: “Loneliness does not come from having no people around, but from being unable to communicate the things that seem important to oneself, or from holding certain views which others find inadmissible.”

Carl Jung wrote this line in one of his later works, somewhere in the 1950s, and the line has, since, become one of those quotes that floats around the internet attached to various images of solitary figures looking out windows. The line gets quoted, in most cases, as a piece of moody literary observation about ... Read more Read more

The economist John Maynard Keynes predicted in 1930 that his grandchildren would be working roughly fifteen hours a week by the early twenty-first century — and the strange thing is that, technologically, he was approximately correct

It is unusual for a prediction to be half right and half wrong at the same time, but that is basically what happened in the case of John Maynard Keynes. The technology arrived. The leisure did not.  In 1930, as British unemployment was climbing toward Depression-era levels, Keynes wrote a short essay called Economic Possibilities ... Read more Read more
