Ancient Maya reservoirs, which used aquatic plants to filter and clean the water, 'can serve as archetypes for natural, sustainable water systems to address future water needs.' The Maya built and maintained reservoirs that were in use for more than 1,000 years. These reservoirs provided potable water for thousands to tens of thousands of people in cities during the annual, five-month dry season and in periods of prolonged drought.

Поиск нередко считают просто инфраструктурой. Но в продакшене он фактически работает как API приложения: принимает пользовательский трафик, отдаёт бизнес‑данные, обслуживает дашборды и нередко стоит рядом с записями, которые не должны быть доступны каждому клиенту в сети.В Manticore Search теперь (с релиза 27.1.5 ) есть встроенная аутентификация и авторизация — для SQL по протоколу MySQL, для HTTP/HTTPS‑эндпоинтов и для операций, связанных с репликацией.Аутентификация отвечает на вопрос «кто делает запрос?» Read more ›

Привет! Меня зовут Михаил Измайлов, я лид по аналитике данных в команде лояльности MAGNIT OMNI — бизнес-группе ритейлера «Магнит», которая отвечает за развитие омниканального опыта для клиентов.Дашбордами в современных технологических компаниях уже никого не удивить, однако хорошо структурированную, актуальную и стабильную систему BI-отчетов можно встретить далеко не всегда. Какие шаги предпринять, чтобы дашбординг не стал набором хаотично разбросанных отчетов, а был хорошо настроенным инструментом для бизн Read more ›

Диегетические игровые элементы (существующие в мире игры) — довольно привычное явление на сегодняшний день, но, несмотря на это, мало кто с ними работает на полную, добиваясь влияния на механики. Бесплатная игра Crawl как раз из таких, Dead Space со своим уменьшенным окошком диегетического голографического инвентаря нервно курит в сторонке. Читать далее Read more ›

On the fast-moving European startup scene, it’s software companies who often dominate the news cycle talking about the quick turnaround of their products and the benefits of agile sprints. Though, a quieter and at the same time just as significant transformation is currently happening in the hardware industry. According to the 2026 European DeepTech Report, ... Read more ›

Наталья Новикова пришла в разработку из ветеринарии и начинала как самоучка — с курсов по Java. В рамках дипломного проекта онлайн‑магистратуры МФТИ «Разработка ИТ‑продукта» она создала продукт в новой для себя сфере — мобильное приложение для детского чтения на базе искусственного интеллекта. Наталья опубликовала его в RuStore и получила первые 44 платные подписки еще до защиты диплома.В статье разбираем путь от первой идеи до работающего продукта: как проходила проверка гипотез,...

Антенная техника — одна из тех редких областей, где «классика» не выходит из моды. Проектирование систем связи до сих пор опирается на фундаментальные принципы XIX века, ведь уравнения Максвелла будут другими разве что в альтернативной вселенной. Но инженерная мысль не стоит на месте: в дополнение к традиционным конструкциям приходят метаструктуры. Они позволяют решать задачи, которые раньше казались невыполнимыми — например, реализовывать отрицательный угол преломления луча. Меня зовут Алексей, я радиоинже Read more ›

On Monday, Xbox suffered a major server outage that affected players worldwide. The outage took down several key functions of Xbox, including the ability to buy and download games, play them offline, and even extended to disc-based games. Services have since been restored, but the sudden and severe nature of the outage required some explanation. Read more Read more ›

Агенты быстро генерируют код, но качество этого кода часто остаётся под вопросом. Агент может «мухлевать»: писать тесты, которые формально проходят, но ничего не проверяют, или пропускать краевые случаи, потому что о них не попросили. «Почти правильный код» компилируется и даже запускается, но полагаться на него в продакшене опасно.Чтобы не гадать, насколько можно доверять сгенерированному коду, нужны инструменты контроля качества. Есть четыре практики, которые помогут проверить качество уже сейчас. Читать. Read more ›

Звонки в управляющую компанию различаются по срочности: один жилец хочет узнать про график капитального ремонта, другому нужен электрик — починить освещение на площадке, третий хочет сообщить о затоплении. Но когда все обращения попадают в общую очередь, повседневные вопросы начинают конкурировать со срочными заявками. Это ведет к повторным звонкам, жалобам и долгой реакции на инциденты.Диспетчер должен быстро понимать, какую заявку поставить в очередь, а по какой — сразу соединить с аварийной... Read more ›

Ancient DNA from China’s vast 4,000-year-old Shimao settlement is revealing how one of East Asia’s earliest complex societies was organized. Researchers found that its people were largely descended from local Yellow River farming communities, but also had genetic ties to distant southern and steppe populations, pointing to extensive prehistoric contact.

Astronomers have found the first confirmed atmosphere around a rocky planet in another star’s habitable zone. The planet, LHS 1140 b, revealed its atmosphere through helium slowly leaking into space. Located 48 light-years away, the world may have preserved its atmosphere for billions of years, making it a promising target in the search for potentially habitable planets. Read more ›

China’s Chang’e-6 samples have uncovered a surprising difference between the Moon’s two hemispheres. Solar wind particles penetrated deeper into the far-side soil because Earth’s magnetosphere slows the particles that reach the near side. Noble gases locked inside the lunar regolith preserved evidence of this uneven bombardment. These gases may even help scientists reconstruct the ancient history of Earth’s magnetic shield.

Ancient sediment reveals that some of K’gari’s deepest lakes vanished around 7,500 years ago, despite unusually heavy rainfall. The surprising discovery suggests changing winds and future climate shifts could threaten the sacred lakes known as the Eyes of K’gari. Read more ›

Watching television very often in midlife may be linked to troubling brain changes decades later. In a study of about 1,700 adults, frequent TV viewers later showed smaller brain regions involved in memory, decision-making, and visual processing, along with more signs of damage in the brain’s white matter. Surprisingly, sitting itself did not appear to be the main issue, since people who spent long hours seated at mentally engaging jobs... Read more ›

For most adults, a daily caffeine habit may be safer for the heart than many people assume. A new American Heart Association review found that up to 400 milligrams of caffeine a day, roughly three to five cups of regular black coffee, is generally safe and may even be linked to lower risks of heart disease, stroke, heart failure, and Type 2 diabetes. But the source matters: highly concentrated energy... Read more ›

Scientists have created a programmable optical chip that can slow light on demand, giving engineers far greater control over how optical signals propagate through a circuit. The technology could provide the delays, synchronization, and buffering functions needed to make light-based computing more practical. A single chip could eventually perform several tasks that currently require separate devices, potentially reducing energy use, cost, and complexity in AI servers and data centers. Read more ›

A single dose of psilocybin produced measurable changes in brain activity and possible changes in brain structure that lasted for up to a month. Participants who experienced the greatest increase in flexible, varied brain activity also reported more personal insight and later improvements in well-being. The findings suggest that the psychedelic experience itself may help people break free from entrenched patterns of thinking. Read more ›

Scientists have found a way to revive vancomycin, a powerful antibiotic that some dangerous bacteria have learned to resist. Instead of creating an entirely new drug, researchers paired vancomycin with a small molecule called pghi-4, which blocks a bacterial enzyme linked to resistance. The combination restored the antibiotic’s ability to kill drug-resistant E. faecium, raising hopes that similar chemical helpers could rescue other failing medicines. Read more ›
