Как на самом деле запоминать всё, что прочитал

fedorovpishet.ru/kak-na-samom-dele-zapominat-vsyo-chto-prochital
  • Приложения для сбора хайлайтов из статей и книг не помогают запоминать прочитанное

  • Для того, чтобы запоминать прочитанное не нужна хорошая память

  • Лучший способ запомнить прочитанное — понять то, что ты прочитал

  • Чтобы на самом деле понять прочитанное, нужно приложить усилия

  • Объясняй другим идеи, чтобы лучше понимать и запоминать их

  • Заведи блог

  • Участвуй в сетевых дискуссиях

  • Откажись от автоматизации

A forum for the fedidevs. What's funny is this notice it shows on my outdated Safari:

This sentence contains to a funky website that recommends some browsers. Links2 is not there for some reason.

I should join the forum though, as I'm a proud fedidev now!

Riddle solved: Why was Roman concrete so durable?

news.mit.edu/2023/roman-concrete-durability-lime-casts-0106

To prove that this was indeed the mechanism responsible for the durability of the Roman concrete, the team produced samples of hot-mixed concrete that incorporated both ancient and modern formulations, deliberately cracked them, and then ran water through the cracks. Sure enough: Within two weeks the cracks had completely healed and the water could no longer flow. An identical chunk of concrete made without quicklime never healed, and the water just kept flowing through the sample.

I knew Roman concrete was cool, but not that cool!
