Весной 2022 года я поднимал в этом блоге две необычные темы из области фундаментальной химии. Первая называлась «Из чего состоит мировой эфир. Последняя теория Менделеева» — в ней я рассказывал, как Дмитрий Иванович Менделеев, продолжая опираться на атомный вес, пытался надстроить «нулевой» период над водородом и, вероятно, неосознанно двигался к открытию нейтрона. Вторая статья называлась «Распад протона – невозможность 2,5 класса». Наряду с проблемой практически абсолютной стабильности протона (без внешне Read more ›

На Wildberries и Ozon покупатель решает, открыть карточку или пролистнуть дальше, за доли секунды — и решает по первому изображению. Не по цене, не по отзывам, а по тому, как выглядит главное фото и насколько понятно с него, что за товар перед ним. Поэтому визуал карточки давно перестал быть украшением и стал инструментом продаж: хорошая инфографика поднимает конверсию ощутимее, чем очередная скидка.Проблема в том, что сделать такой визуал вручную —...

Модель мышления: не талант, а способ смотреть на правилаЕсли вы только начинаете учиться программировать, вы, скорее всего, уже слышали: «у кого-то математический склад ума, у кого-то гуманитарный», «надо просто больше практики», «язык слишком сложный». Исследования показывают картину инее и одновременно обнадёживающую: дело не в «IQ вообще» и не в том, хорошо ли вы решали задачи по алгебре в школе, а в том, какую внутреннюю модель вы используете, когда читаете программу.Классическая...
