Контракт из кода, клиент из контракта: избавляемся от тройного дублирования в API

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

ЭВМ в народном хозяйстве: лампы, кибернетика, «Урал-1»

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

Vizio accidentally made the best dumb TV on the market

When I first started testing Vizio's 65-inch Mini LED Quantum TV, I thought the big story was that Vizio was back and that it had a quantum-dot TV for under $398 - the cheapest on the market. Vizio's been pretty quiet since it was acquired by Walmart in 2024, so putting out a TV with […] Read more
