Before Keurig, the coffee in your office was almost certainly terrible. Old, burned, made by someone who would rather poorly eyeball than properly measure. Just altogether gross. After Keurig? You could make your own coffee, a cup at a time, exactly when you needed it. The single-cup brewer was an elegant solution to an extremely […] Read more ›

Почтовые адреса используют в реляционных БД, просто записывая их в одно текстовой поле или распределяя по отдельным полям типа город, улица, номер дома, корпус, квартира (возможно, вынося города и улицы в отдельные таблицы). В данной статье хочу поделиться одной моделью представления, которая коррелирует с моделью адресов ГАР ФИАС и позволяет выполнять широкий спектр действий с адресами средствами языка SQL.Как известно, вручную написанные адреса обладают рядом неприятных свойств, затрудняющих их программно Read more ›

Представьте: 1978-й год, декабрь. Вы в клубе. Играет песня Stayin’ Alive. Вечеринка в самом разгаре.Мужчины носят модные брюки клёш и яркие шёлковые рубашки с удлиннёнными воротниками; женщины — короткие цветные платья. Они танцуют, пьют коктейли, знакомятся и флиртуют.Глядя на это со стороны можно было бы легко подумать, что вы где-нибудь в Лондоне, Париже или Нью-Йорке, но нет — этот клуб находится в столице Ирана...

Обычно процесс разработки API выглядит так: мы пишем контроллер. Затем каким-то образом его документируем. После чего фронтер, опираясь на такую документацию, пишет клиент.Мы делаем одну и ту же работу трижды.В прошлой статье я рассказывал, как избавиться от первого дублирования. С помощью бандла sunrise-studio/symfony-openapi можно генерировать OpenAPI-документ из кода, минуя процесс документирования.Но это решает проблему только наполовину. Если OpenAPI-документ вытекает из кода, то клиент должен вытекать Read more ›

Прилетаем в Шанхай — в аэропорту встречают трое, помогают с чемоданами.

Что рисует ваше воображение, если вы слышите слова «ЭВМ» и «СССР» в одной фразе? Научные лаборатории, огромные машзалы, лампы, транзисторы и перфокарты? Все эти образы недалеки от истины и в том или ином виде действительно встречались. Но вот чего вы могли не знать, так это истинного значения советских компьютеров для советской же промышленности, финансовой системы, транспорта, торговли, связи и прочего. Начиная с 1950-х ЭВМ проникли практически во все крупные сферы... Read more ›

Трендовые фото цепляют внимание быстрее обычных снимков. У них есть яркий образ, понятная идея, настроение, необычная деталь и визуальный эффект, который хочется рассмотреть. Такие картинки активно используют в соцсетях, блогах, рекламе, карточках товаров, аватарках, обложках, сторис и личном контенте. Главное удобство в том, что сегодня популярные ИИ фото через нейросеть можно сделать без студии, фотографа, дорогой одежды и сложного монтажа.Если раньше для красивой съемки нужно было искать локацию, свет, о Read more ›

The Onion joked the new movie Supergirl is about a hero who must single-handedly save the world "after the catastrophic collapse of interest in the genre." Unfortunately, The Hollywood Reporter says the film's reviews "range from negative to tepid praise (averaging a 58 percent Rotten Tomatoes score)." Many point fingers at the film's script, with Variety's line — "a comic-book movie with the worst script I can remember" — going... Read more ›

Today, the smallest, most powerful chips top out at about 80 billion transistors." At the heart of the announcement is NanoStack. This is a three-dimensional, nanosheet-based transistor design that scales... Read more ›
