Children who grew up in the 1970s with empty afternoons and no structured playdates were not being neglected — they were practising self-directed play, the vanishing skill of inventing a world without adults running it

The unstructured hours of childhood—dismissed today as neglect—were actually training ground for a critical skill we're now watching disappear: the ability to construct meaning and adventure without adult direction.

ASML in Veldhoven is the only company on Earth that can build extreme ultraviolet lithography machines, and each one contains a mirror so perfectly polished that if you scaled it up to the size of Germany, its tallest bump would be less than a millimetre high

ASML in Veldhoven is the only company on Earth that can build extreme ultraviolet lithography machines. Inside each one are mirrors so smooth that, scaled to the size of Germany, their tallest bump would sit under a millimetre high — and every leading-edge chip on the planet has passed under their light.

Почему современное SI/PI-моделирование не заканчивается на печатной плате?

Все привыкли считать, что SI/PI-моделирование — это импеданс, S-параметры дорожек и IBIS-модель. Но что, если именно здесь большинство инженеров и допускает главную ошибку? Печатная плата — лишь небольшая часть реального канала передачи сигнала.В этой статье разберём, почему без моделей корпуса микросхемы, разъёмов, кабелей, пассивных компонентов, температуры и измерений даже самое красивое моделирование может не иметь ничего общего с тем, что происходит в готовом устройстве. Поговорим о том, где заканчивае Read more

Построчное шифрование для хранения в репозитории

Как хранить зашифрованный файл в репозитории Git или другой системы контроля версий? Если изменение одной строчки содержимого будет (из-за шифрования) менять весь файл целиком или значительную его часть - это портит весь подход системы контроля версий - хранение изменений "фрагментами". Значит хорошо бы шифровать "куски" - например, строки - по-отдельности, независимо.Здесь описывается простенький рецепт для этого подхода - в духе "соль + пароль и от них взять хэш в качестве...

In 1996, Cornell psychologist Thomas Gilovich sent students into a room wearing a Barry Manilow T-shirt and measured a gap that would reshape how psychologists think about self-consciousness: wearers guessed 46 per cent of observers noticed the shirt. The real number was 23 per cent. Read more

Astronauts can return to Earth up to 5 cm taller — then gravity compresses their spines again as weakened back muscles take on a load they have spent months without

Astronauts return from long missions up to 5 centimetres taller as their spinal discs swell in the absence of gravity. Within 48 hours of landing, the spine begins compressing again — and the injury risk that follows can last for years. Read more

Psychology says people who push their chair in when they leave aren’t performing for an audience, and the fact that they do it when no one is watching is precisely what makes it meaningful

Last week I watched a bloke in a near-empty café stand up, sling his bag over one shoulder, and then, before he walked out, quietly slide his chair back under the table. Nobody clocked it. The barista had her back turned. Two other customers were buried in laptops. He wasn’t fishing for a nod or ... Read more Read more

People who keep their phone face down during a conversation aren’t simply being polite—they’re making a visible decision that the person present outranks everyone who might appear on the screen

There is a small movement people make at the beginning of a serious conversation. The phone comes out of a pocket, lands on the table, and is turned face down. The screen disappears. Whatever arrives next will not be allowed to flash between two people. It is easy to call this good manners and leave ... Read more Read more

Sara Blakely spent seven years selling fax machines door-to-door for an office-supply company — being turned away and having her business card ripped up at least once a week — before starting Spanx with $5,000 of her own savings in 2000, writing her own patent, keeping the company entirely self-funded for 21 years, and eventually selling a majority stake to Blackstone in 2021 at a valuation of about $1.2 billion

Sara Blakely built a billion-dollar company on $5,000 of her own money and never took a cent from outside investors. In 2000 she used that $5,000 to launch Spanx. Twenty-one years later, in October 2021, the investment firm Blackstone bought a majority stake in Spanx in a deal that valued the company at about $1.2 ... Read more Read more

We’re sold a story about identity that runs like a detective film.

Nearly every plant on your plate is quietly chemically defended against being eaten — and a growing line of research suggests that faint, low-dose sting may be one of the underrated reasons a vegetable-heavy diet keeps you healthy

The bitter compounds in kale, broccoli and green tea are plant defence weapons — and the reason vegetables extend human life. A look at hormesis, the gut bacteria that decide who benefits, and why the vegetables engineered to taste mild may deliver less of what makes them medicine. Read more
