As Azzedine Ounahi put Morocco ahead early in the second half, his coach Mohamed Ouahbi wagged a delighted finger. There was, perhaps, relief there too. In February he replaced the most successful coach in Morocco’s history, Walid Regragui, who may not have been popular by the end, but the idea that his successor might surpass his achievements seemed almost impossible. That may still be a way off but, five months on, Morocco have become the first African side to reach the World Cup quarter-finals twice – and there’s not much doubt that they’re playing better.

Criticism of Regragui at the 2025 Cup of Nations, which Morocco hosted and may have won on appeal – although we’ll have to wait for the court of arbitration for sport ruling to be sure – seemed harsh to outsiders. He had taken Morocco to a World Cup semi-final and had lost only four of his 49 games in charge – among them that semi-final against France in Qatar and the third-place playoff against Croatia. Was he really overly defensive, or was that just the way Morocco had to play?

TL;DR. Из интереса обучил собственный русский RAG‑сплиттер — захотелось проверить, можно ли сделать context‑aware‑нарезку русских документов лучше готовых чанкеров.

Я взял идею датской context-aware-splitter, пересобрал её под русский на базе T-lite-it-2.1 и изменил главное: модель возвращает индексы границ, а не переписанный текст. Хост потом режет оригинал по этим индексам.

У index‑output оказалось три практических плюса:

В настоящее время, когда бум клинической ностальгии по донди и сежке еще не отгремел, уже подрастает новое поколение ретрогеймеров, для которых 90-е прочно ассоциируются с первой плойкой. Вышла околодокументальная книга "PlayStation. Игра против правил" Ильи Воронина, где досконально разобраны причины зарождения еще одного игрока на консольном ТВД, вклад в это всем известной конторы Нинтендо, а также, оглушительный успех Сони на новом поприще и завоевание короны лидера на рынке видеоигр (наверное, не дочитал еще). Всю шедевральность плейстейшена можно прочувствовать даже не читая книгу, просто потрогав эти потрясающие выпуклые кнопочки на обложке. И где такие книжки по Сатурну?

Но если Сони победила, и ее первая игровая консоль буквально уничтожила конкурентов, что же такое пишет автор данного опуса, на чем основывает свое мнение и что за легкое жжение ощущается при вдумчивом прочтении заголовка? Обо всем этом я расскажу чуть ниже! С позиций ретрогейминга)

• Vingegaard leads Visma–Lease a Bike to stage one win

• Ganna second for Ineos; Pogacar third for Emirates

Jonas Vingegaard stunned Tadej Pogacar, the defending champion, by taking the first yellow jersey of the 2026 Tour de France after his Visma-Lease a Bike team won the opening stage of this year’s race, a 19.6km team time trial in Barcelona.

Two years after a life-threatening crash, Vingegaard, who won this year’s Giro d’Italia, looks back to his best. “It feels amazing to have the yellow jersey again,” said the Dane, the Tour champion in 2022 and 2023. “It’s been three years and it’s one of the most beautiful jerseys in cycling. It’s the perfect start for our race.”

Саймон Рамо - сын русской иммигрантки, отец межконтинентальной баллистической ракеты США и бизнесмен. Однажды он захотел улучшить свою игру в теннис и применил тот же строгий, основанный на фактических данных подход, который когда-то привел его к успешной карьере.

В результате в 1970 году им была написана книга «Необыкновенный теннис для обыкновенного игрока».

• India 190-7; England 191-6; England win by four wkts

• Bethell’s 76 helps England chase 191 in second T20

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi was both headline act and bit-part player on a chill, windswept Manchester afternoon. He made his hotly anticipated debut to become, at 15 years and 99 days, the youngest Indian men’s international and the second youngest in all formats and from all full member nations.

But it was England’s youngest player, even if Jacob Bethell is a comparative veteran at 22 – “It feels weird to say I’m playing against someone seven years younger than me,” he said – who decided the match and in effect did so in the space of a single Ravi Bishnoi over.

• South Africa 45-21 England

• Springboks run in seven tries in one-sided contest

What a fabulous occasion this was, a thunderous way to kick off the new-look Nations Championship. Anyone stumbling across the sport for the first time would have been truly staggered by the commitment of both teams, not to mention the spine-tingling pre-match rendition of Nkosi Sikelel’ iAfrika. This was top-drawer sporting theatre in the spiritual home of South African rugby.

But when the smoke finally cleared on a cool, still Highveld evening there was a clear winner. Even though the world champion Springboks were missing a clutch of influential forwards they were still way too strong for gallant but outgunned opponents. From 17-0 down after just 12 minutes England showed huge resolve to battle their way back to 17-14 at half-time but, having been reduced to 13 men late on, the upstart visitors had been put firmly back in their place.

The England captain is feeling fitter than ever but warns his team may have to ‘grind it out’ against Mexico

Nobody is more qualified than Thierry Henry to talk about finishing, so it was worth paying attention to the former France striker’s analysis of Harry Kane’s second goal against the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).

“Striking with the inside of the foot, almost wrapping the ball while the body is off-balance, you have to maintain balance at the crucial moment to take the shot,” Henry said on Fox after the game. “Do you know how hard it is to generate power then? At the end of the game? To redirect it like that? If I did that now, I’d break my back.”

Deputy Labour leader says No 10 must become more meritocratic as party’s female MPs press Burnham on gender balance

Andy Burnham will change a “boys club” culture of factional briefings at No 10 which silenced critics, according to the deputy leader of the Labour party.

Lucy Powell said she had experienced “unpleasant” briefings in Downing Street, which left people afraid to speak out or challenge Downing Street’s position.

They couldn’t, could they? They almost did. Fair play, Gianni Infantino, adding an extra knockout round has proved a worthy addition to the Geopolitics World Cup. Sure, the group stage occasionally dragged like a wet Sunday in February, with attendant Scottish and South Korean tears, and Uruguayan rage, but jeopardy is king content. And “the 32” signed off with an all-time classic that went close to delivering the greatest shock of all shocks.

Have to say I just unsubscribed from Football Daily because of the relentless negativity during the GWC, both from the writers and the letters that are being published. Normally I enjoy a bit of snark but, my goodness, this seven-day-a-week version of the email is on another level. What a shame” – Jeff Round.

Re: Rick Costigan asking about giving the USA USA USA their exclamation marks and dropping the A (yesterday’s Football Daily letters). Does Rick know that their fans are already supporting his campaign? Having recently returned from Boston, Miami and Atlanta (final one was a stop-off on the way home to see Dr Martin Luther King Jr’s birth place and resting place), the place was full of USA USA USA fans holding up signs and wearing T-shirts saying ‘Why not US?’. Does this count as the first mass movement in support of a letter to the Football Daily email?” – James Thomson.

Почему бы написать статью в виде одного только агентского скилла. И вам полезно и мне не трудно.

Поэтому, формат простой. Побежали!

Агентский скилл / методология рефакторинга и проектирования долгоживущих корпоративных систем с богатой бизнес-логикой на основе предварительного выявления намерений, археологии домена, функционального DDD Скотта Влашина и стратегии тестирования Майкла Физерса.

Мы создаем софт для горно-геологических служб калийных рудников. Наши геологи и маркшейдеры каждый день превращают тысячи скважинных проб в карты: отметки кровли пласта, содержания KCl, мощности, газоопасность. Классический инструмент для этого - кригинг, и в QGIS он формально есть: SAGA, GRASS, Smart-Map, связки со SciPy. На практике же каждый вариант чем-то не устраивал, и год назад я начал писать свой плагин. Сейчас Isoliner - это 24 инструмента в официальном репозитории plugins.qgis.org: кригинг четырёх видов, вариограммный анализ, кросс-валидация с отчётами, изолинии с контурными полигонами, геологические разрезы и собственный 3D-просмотр. Вычислительное ядро - чистый NumPy, ни одной внешней зависимости.

Под катом - зачем понадобился ещё один кригинг, как выглядит система кригинга в двадцати строках NumPy, что такое вариограмма на пальцах и почему абсолютные единицы силла — главные грабли всех, кто впервые открывает такие инструменты.

Используем старый Mikrotik в качестве сигнализации.

После появления ChatGPT и массового распространения GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code, Windsurf и других AI-инструментов разработка стала заметно быстрее. Код, тесты, README, комментарии и небольшие utility-функции теперь можно получить за секунды.

Но вместе с этим появился менее очевидный вопрос: если миллионы разработчиков используют похожие модели и похожие промпты, не становится ли открытый код более однообразным?

В этой статье я проверяю эту гипотезу на данных GitHub за 2019-2025 годы: через GH Archive, BigQuery, commit messages, README, имена функций и собственный GitHub Uniformity Index.
