Google Requests Permission to Release 32 Million Mosquitoes In California and Florida

The effort is part of the company's Debug program, which uses Wolbachia-infected males to reduce populations of disease-spreading Aedes aegypti mosquitoes. Google cites a similar approach in Singapore that helped suppress mosquito populations and reduce dengue cases.

Настоящие HDR фото — от съемки до просмотра

Всем привет! Это моя первая статья на Хабре. Я постарался максимально понятно изложить проблематику получения HDR изображений на современных мониторах и операционных системах. Давайте сразу проясним, что подразумевается под HDR фото, а что нет. В начале двухтысячных было модное занятие сначала фоткать высококонтрастный объект с разными экспозициями, проводить так называемый  брекетинг экспозиции, а затем с помощью софта склеивать все в одно изображение. Изначальный огромный перепад яркостей сужался до обычн Read more

Как перенести репозиторий с GitHub или GitLab на GitFlic: пошаговый гайд

Если еще пару лет назад GitHub для большинства команд был вариантом «по умолчанию», то сегодня все чаще возникает вопрос: что делать, если репозиторий нужно держать под своим контролем и без зависимости от зарубежной платформы.Причины у всех разные. Кто-то закрывает требования по импортозамещению, кто-то снижает инфраструктурные риски, кто-то просто хочет иметь резервную площадку на случай очередных ограничений. В любом случае миграция репозитория рано или поздно становится практической задачей, а не темой. Read more

Подмена субъекта в Keycloak: не кнопка, а модель безопасности

Запрос «а дайте саппорту возможность заходить под пользователем» почти всегда звучит как простая фича. На практике это изменение в модели авторизации, аудита и ответственности. В терминах Keycloak задача формулируется не как «войти под пользователем», а как «разрешить субъекту A получить токен, в котором он будет субъектом Б, с контролируемыми правами и прозрачным аудитом». Это принципиально важно, потому что Keycloak оперирует токенами, клиентами и правами на их выпуск, а не кнопками... Read more

When an aircraft or car body moves at high speed, a thin layer of air called the "boundary layer" is formed on its surface. This boundary layer has two... Read more
