In 1887, a Scottish veterinarian named John Boyd Dunlop watched his son bounce painfully along a cobbled path on a tricycle and glued strips of rubber into a tube of air around the wheels that night, because the boy had complained of headaches from the ride — and the pneumatic tyre he improvised in his garden was working on Belfast streets within a year

How a Scottish vet's improvised rubber tube — built in a Belfast garden shed to stop his son's cycling headaches in 1887 — became the passive suspension system every wheeled vehicle on Earth still uses.

AT&T Loses Key Ruling In Bid To Stop Offering Basic Phone Service In California

A federal judge rejected AT&T's request to temporarily block California rules requiring it to offer basic phone service to new customers in its wireline territory. AT&T wants to retire its copper-based phone network and stop service for nearly 200,000 California customers in 2027, but the state argues the company can meet its obligations with modern alternatives like fiber rather than abandoning Carrier of Last Resort requirements altogether. Ars Technica reports:... Read more

Ночной джоб, который сам нарезает партиции: cron, SQL-функция и сплиттер

Есть таблица GPS-точек. Транспорт шлёт координаты каждые несколько секунд, за сутки набегают миллионы строк, и таблица секционирована по времени. Значит, кто-то должен заранее создавать партицию на завтра и отцеплять партиции старше девяноста дней. Иначе в одну прекрасную ночь вставка упадёт с no partition of relation "gps_points" found for row, и это будет ровно в тот момент, когда никто не смотрит. Читать далее Read more

Marcus Aurelius warned that the desire to be remembered was pointless because both the famous and those remembering them would disappear, a thought written by one of the most powerful men alive

Marcus Aurelius wrote one of his clearest warnings about ambition in the fourth book of the notes now called Meditations. A person longing for fame after death, he argued, forgets that everyone preserving the memory will also die. Their successors will die too, until the chain of remembrance ends. The observation came from the Roman ... Read more Read more

Singapore became an independent country on 9 August 1965 after a brief and bitter union with Malaysia. It entered that day with no hinterland, no industrial base, no significant natural resources and a water supply that depended heavily on agreements with the country it had just left. “Expelled” is a fair description of the political ...

A physical book makes a narrow promise. Open it and there will be the book. No messages will arrive in the margin. No application will ask to be updated. No alert will appear over the final sentence of a chapter. For adults who continue to choose print, that limitation can be the point. The preference ... Read more Read more
