Хитрые бактерии и антибиотики

habr.com/ru/articles/828834

И рынок стал важнее разработки, затраты на RnD обычно несколько миллиардов долларов — а на маркетинг могут быть в 2-3 раза выше. Плюс с антибиотиками есть куча проблем. Во-первых, от них пациенты выздоравливают. Это очень плохо, потому что не получается продавать годами.

YaLTeR/niri: A scrollable-tiling Wayland compositor.

github.com/YaLTeR/niri

Windows are arranged in columns on an infinite strip going to the right.
Opening a new window never causes existing windows to resize.

Every monitor has its own separate window strip.
Windows can never "overflow" onto an adjacent monitor.

Since windows go left-to-right horizontally, workspaces are arranged vertically.
Every monitor has an independent set of workspaces, and there's always one empty workspace present all the way down.

All these scrolling WM:s sound so fun! I want to try one one day.

Digital Abyss

abyss.j3s.sh/hypha/digital_abyss

to me, it feels wrong. i don't write for meticulous care & growth, i write because i'm desperate to (connect, understand, remember, leave something behind)

it reminds me that i'll die someday & i want people to remember who i was, and how i thought. i leave tracings of myself in this abyss, hoping that it'll help other people. it's fragments of me.

that's no garden. it's a mortal abyss. and i find a lot of meaning staring into it.
