Вторая жизнь Meshtastic — сеть связи без интернета

В последнее время Meshtastic переживает своего рода ренессанс. Изобретённый в 2020 году протокол дальней радиосвязи на технологии LoRa раньше использовался для организации mesh-сетей в городах, во время стихийных бедствий, в небольших группах в походах и на кемпинге, для поисково-спасательных операций. Но в последнее время Meshtastic привлекает всё больше новых пользователей, а сфера использования расширяется.Рост популярности можно объяснить сбоями в работе интернета по всему миру и желанием наладить надёж Read more

Параметрическая геометрия: как в IFC4 уже сейчас работает то, что официально обещают только в IFC5

buildingSMART готовит новую версию открытого BIM-стандарта IFC5. Здесь, в отличие от монолитной ООП-иерархии (IFC2x3, IFC4), применяется компонентный ECS-подход (Entity Component System). То есть в IFC5 объект собирается из независимых частей (геометрия, материалы, свойства), которые можно комбинировать и пересобирать отдельно друг от друга. Разработка ведётся публично в репозитории buildingSMART/IFC5-development/ на GitHub, финальная спецификация пока не выпущена.Однако ниже будет не про IFC5, а о том, чт Read more
