An anonymous reader quotes a report from The Guardian: Wood heating is reintroducing lead into the air of local communities and homes, a systematic investigation by academics has found.

They looked for tiny partic

В прошлой статье я писал о том, что в концепции 1С:ERP 2026 не хватает предметно-ориентированного слоя. После обсуждения стало понятно, что этот вопрос шире одной ERP-системы: если предприятие уже использует LLM, ему нужен не только набор промптов, а общий семантический контур. В первой статье эта тема была обозначена, но, видимо, недостаточно явно. Исправляю. На мой взгляд, именно этот слой в ближайшее время станет одним из самых практичных и недооценённых артефактов...

В ходе нескольких недавних бесед люди рассказывали мне, что перестали проверять свои телефоны по утрам. Не потому, что ничего не происходило, а потому, что происходило всё подряд. Они описывали это ощущение так, будто стоят под водопадом бесконечных плохих новостей.Этот опыт далеко не единичный. Согласно отчёту Reuters Institute «Digital News Report» за 2025 год, 69% канадцев сейчас хотя бы изредка избегают новостей.Во всём мире 40% респондентов сообщают, что по крайней мере... Read more ›

Все началось с просьбы сделать отчеты в реальном времени. На первый взгляд задача выглядела простой, но довольно быстро выяснилось, что существующая архитектура для этого не подходит.Проект был разбит на множество микросервисов, каждый из которых хранил данные в собственной PostgreSQL-базе. Чтобы строить сквозные отчеты, информацию нужно было где-то объединять.На тот момент аналитика уже работала через ETL: раз в сутки Airflow восстанавливал общую PostgreSQL из ежедневных бекапов, а Redash выполнял запросы.
