Я разобрал слои дисциплины Claude Code и прибил критичные правила хуками: три гейта, после которых коммит без свежего зеленого прогона тестов не проходит, правка теста поднимает флаг, а завершить работу с грязными тестами нельзя. Под катом механика хуков, код всех трех гейтов с живыми прогонами и эксперимент, где гейт пересилил прямую инструкцию пользователя. Читать далее Read more ›

На дворе начало 80-х. Параллельно и следом за LANPAR были разработаны по меньшей мере еще три варианта компьютерного бюджетирования, причем его результаты можно было вывести на экран монитора в виде бухгалтерской таблицы, полюбоваться ей и потом распечатывать на принтере. Только эти бухгалтерские таблицы не были интерактивными, любой их пересчет, даже из-за исправления одной цифры, исполнялся заново после каждого изменения ввода или формул, и — главное — между компьютером и бухгалтером...

Разбираю, как одна и та же матрица цветовосприятия ведёт себя в четырёх средах, где каждая среда сопротивляется по-своему — и почему честные ограничения инструмента важнее его возможностей.

О событии Летом этого года в издательство НПК ПРАВДА поступила долгожданная рукопись книги автора Ворошилова В. В., завершающей серию рукописей «Основы единой физической теории». Нас, организаторов издательства, однокурсников, выпускников радиотехнического факультета Ленинградского института авиационного приборостроения 1985 года, со студенческой скамьи, удивляла и раздражала неполнота и противоречивость теоретической физики, особенно квантовая механика, лишенная физического смысла, по признанию самих ее.
