«Клиенты приходят не только из-за курса»: как РНКО «Металлург» 10 лет живет без ручного ввода паспорта

Привет, Хабр! На связи Smart Engines.

On September 9, 1947, a technician on Harvard’s Mark II team taped a dead moth into the logbook beside the line ‘first actual case of bug being found’ — Grace Hopper didn’t find it, didn’t write it, and didn’t coin the term, but she told the story so well for 45 years that it became hers

On September 9, 1947, technicians on Harvard's Mark II found a moth wedged in Relay #70 and taped it into the logbook. Grace Hopper retold the story for 45 years, fixing the word 'bug' into the vocabulary of computing — even though engineers had been using it since Edison. Read more

Psychology suggests the hardest part of changing your life isn’t always failure. Sometimes it’s letting go of the identity everyone expects you to keep

There is a version of changing your life that the self-improvement shelf rarely describes. Not the part where you fail, relapse, or run out of willpower.
