In 1946, a secretary named Betty Snyder and five other women were handed the wiring diagrams for ENIAC and told to program it with no manuals and no instructions, and the ballistic trajectory calculation they got running became the first working software ever demonstrated on a general-purpose electronic computer

In 1946, six women at the Moore School of Engineering were handed the wiring diagrams for ENIAC and told to program it without manuals. The ballistic trajectory they got running became the first working software ever demonstrated on a general-purpose electronic computer — and their names were left off the press release.

When British firms trialled a four-day week for the same pay, the real surprise was not output but the people: burnout fell for 71 percent of staff, and nearly nine in ten companies kept the shorter week long after the trial ended

In Britain’s biggest four-day-week trial, 71 percent of employees said they felt less burnt out by the end. That figure, not anything about profit or output, is the one that stands out. Whether the shorter week would hurt productivity had a fairly predictable answer. What it would do to people did not. We are writers ... Read more Read more

Алкоголь после 30: можно ли пить как в молодости и работать как senior?

Недавно в комментариях спросили: «Как найти баланс? Алкоголь мне нравится скорее из-за вкуса, нежели самого алкоголя, люблю джиновые коктейли и вино. Могу на несколько месяцев отказаться от алкоголя, но потом становится скучно. А если пью, иногда теряю меру и расплачиваюсь хмурым утром». И я понял, что вопрос вообще не про алкоголь. Он о том, можно ли сохранить привычки жизни двадцатилетнего себя, когда тебе уже не двадцать. Читать далее Read more

A whole generation of parents is learning to be grandparents over video call, holding a phone up to a baby who will know their face perfectly and their smell not at all

A quiet revolution has happened in family life over the last few years, and most of us slid into it without ever deciding to. Grandparenting, for a huge number of families, now happens mostly through a screen. A grandmother reads a bedtime story from another time zone. A grandfather plays peekaboo with a baby he ...

You’d think an AI copilot would widen the gap between star employees and everyone else but a Stanford/MIT study of 5,000 call-center agents found the opposite: it lifted novices’ output by about 34% and barely moved the veterans, narrowing the skill gap instead

The assumption almost everyone carries about a new tool: it pours rocket fuel on whoever is already at the front. Give the best people a sharper instrument and they pull further ahead. The gap between the stars and everyone else widens. That is the story we have mostly told ourselves about technology and work, and ... Read more Read more

The promise of AI was a worker who never sleeps, never books leave, and never asks for a raise. The reality is messier: for a growing number of firms, the machine meant to replace payroll is starting to look like a payroll of its own

Uber spent its entire 2026 budget for AI coding tools in four months. By April, after an assistant called Claude Code had spread across its engineering teams, the money set aside for the whole year was gone. The company then capped what any single employee could spend on such tools at $1,500 a month. A ... Read more Read more

There’s a German idea that explains why the most globally dominant companies in their field are ones you’ve never heard of — quiet, family-run, mid-sized firms that would rather own an obscure world market than ever be famous

If you own a dog, there is a reasonable chance its retractable lead was made by a company called Flexi, based in a town in northern Germany, which by its own account and most industry estimates holds around 70 percent of the world market for exactly that product and does nothing else. Its founder’s stated ... Read more Read more
