We’re taught that failure is the price of ambition, but psychologists studying explanatory style found that what happens after a setback depends partly on the story a person tells themselves about it: those who see failure as permanent and personal are more likely to become helpless, while those who treat it as temporary and specific are more likely to keep going.

Ambition has a standard story about failure. You take the hit, learn the lesson, and keep moving. It is clean, motivational, and not quite true. Some setbacks become information. Others become identity. The difference is not only the size of the loss. It is also the explanation a person builds around it. Psychologists studying explanatory ... Read more Read more

🇧🇷 🇨🇳 🇮🇳 Локализуем React не трогая код компонентовReact-компоненты из node_modules уже скомпилированы, поэтому внедрить react-i18next в них обычно невозможно без форка библиотеки. В статье показываю, как перехватить все вызовы jsx/jsxs через кастомный react/jsx-runtime и автоматически локализовать текст даже внутри уже собранных компонентов, не меняя их исходный код.

«Ghost in the Shell» 1989 и 2026: комедийный киберпанк-боевик как возвращение к корням?

В случае американского киберпанка на ум первым делом приходят «Нейромант» и «Матрица». Наиболее ярким примером японского киберпанка является «Ghost in the Shell» — в основном в виде двух полнометражек Осии и сериальной трилогии. С 7 июля 2026 года начала выходить новая аниме-версия. Выглядит она для привыкшего к «классике» непривычно и странно: студия Science Saru решилась на эксперимент. Она перенесла на экран в профессиональной анимации, дословно и покадрово, оригинальную мангу Масамунэ... Read more

Как включить кипятильник Ардуиной?

Вот всем хороши микроконтроллеры - маленькие, программируемые, "умные" - одно плохо: нельзя вот так просто так взять и включить, скажем, двигатель откатных ворот или группу прожекторов на объекте.Двигателю нужно 220В, а то и 380, а микроконтроллер питается от 3.3. Для этого давным-давно придуманы реле, тысячи их. Казалось бы, все просто и понятно - контроллер включает реле, реле включает то-что-надо-включить. И вот тут начинаются разные интересные нюансы.
