Российский спутник полгода догонял финский и в октябре подошёл к нему почти вплотную. Насколько близко, никто точно не знает: пишут и про 26 метров, и про 650. Разбираюсь, как спутники вообще догоняют друг друга на орбите и почему расстояние между ними так сложно измерить.

Контейнер с Python-воркером останавливается не сразу, а ровно через десять секунд. Docker всё это время ждёт, пока процесс отреагирует на SIGTERM, а тот его не слышит. Разбираю, почему так выходит с PID 1 и shell-скриптом в ENTRYPOINT, чем помогает и чем не помогает init: true, и показываю короткий шаблон asyncio-воркера, который дописывает текущую пачку данных и выходит сам.

Nazhat Shameem Khan claims some staff are facing ‘banking difficulties’ but their work is unaffected

The deputy prosecutor of the international criminal court has said new US sanctions are beginning to take effect on its staff but insisted they have not hindered the court’s work.

The US secretary of state, Marco Rubio, announced the sanctions this month, accusing the ICC – a frequent target of the Trump administration – of being a “rogue court” and declaring: “Either the ICC will end its threats, or we will end the ICC.”

Спойлер: Вы тоже можете купить такой одноплатник за 800 рублей, благо на барахолках их навалом. Ну а как их починить и превратить во что-то полезное, я расскажу в рамках сегодняшней статьи!

По правде сказать, я огромный фанат купить что-то очень дешевое и нерабочее, чтобы затем найти новое применение железу со свалки. Недавно я изучал Авито и наткнулся на тонкие клиенты Dell Wyse 3040 по 800 рублей с нерабочими eMMC. Казалось бы, тонких клиентов на вторичке навалом — но у этого был 4х-ядерный процессор от Intel, неплохой GPU с поддержкой DirectX11, 2 гигабайта оперативной памяти и целых 4 слота под USB. Надо брать!

Каменный век ученые изучают по артефактам, оставшимся от былых эпох. В основном это изделия из кости и камня: наконечники стрел, скребки, рубила и тому подобное. С вещами, которые изготовлены из древесины и кожи, все гораздо сложнее. Дерево сгнивает, кора рассыпается, а вместе с ними исчезают подробности повседневной жизни. В итоге древний человек представляется нам как мастер работы с камнем — ничего иного мы не знали. Оказалось, что все не совсем так. 

В Испании ученым удалось обнаружить стоянку неандертальцев с остатками утвари не из камня, а из дерева. Каким образом они сохранились? На самом деле никак. Дело в том, что минеральные отложения сохранили форму предметов, от которых давно ничего не осталось. Выяснилось, что древние люди пользовались большим количеством предметов из древесины, от заостренных палок до странной штуки с рукоятью, похожей на небольшую дубинку. Возраст находок — от 40 до 62 тысяч лет. Давайте посмотрим, как археологи разбирались с этим хозяйством и что получилось выяснить.

Manchester City added a loss in the Premier League to one to the Premier League, as their perfect record this season vanished without an independent commission in sight. Two of the most in-form strikers in England did battle and it was Nicolas Jackson’s double that meant his side came out on top against Erling Haaland.

City are certainly fallible, losing for the fourth time in a row here, and it was a reminder that life will not always be as simple as their first seven games. Mistakes cost City as Marc Guéhi and Gianluigi Donnarumma were punished by Jackson, who will have taken great pleasure in ending the winning run of his former Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca.

• American, 32, wins season-opening giant slalom

• Moltzan edges Albania’s Lara Colturi by 0.01sec

• Mikaela Shiffrin drops from first to seventh place

American Paula Moltzan became the oldest woman to claim her first Alpine skiing World Cup victory on Saturday, pipping Albania’s Lara Colturi by just one-hundredth of a second in a thrilling season-opening giant slalom at Sölden, Austria.

Moltzan, who was fifth after the opening run, produced a superb second descent to finish with a combined time of 2min 14.82sec, narrowly denying her Italian-born Albanian rival, who finished in 2min 14.83sec. Germany’s Emma Aicher completed the podium, 0.52sec behind the Minnesota native.

Scotland Yard says it shared letter about Thomas Markle Sr allegations in 2019 but did not pass claims to other agencies

The Metropolitan police have confirmed they gave a letter to the Duchess of Sussex in 2019 concerning “alleged offending” involving her father, after accusations arose on Friday about Thomas Markle Sr having child sexual abuse images.

Scotland Yard said it had received a letter in January 2019 making a number of allegations about offending outside Britain.

Около сотни ИИ-агентов получили простую задачу — взломать аккаунты человека, зная только его имя. Я проверил это на себе: за пять часов агенты пять раз добились успеха, используя уязвимости старых проектов и слабые пароли. В статье рассказываю, как действовали агенты, сколько стоил эксперимент и почему подобные атаки вскоре могут стать массовыми.

PM Benjamin Netanyahu vows ‘to destroy this place’ in retaliation for militant attack on army checkpoint

Israeli troops have levelled a neighbourhood in Hebron, driving out hundreds of families in collective punishment for a militant attack on an army checkpoint outside the West Bank city, local Palestinian authorities said.

The Hebron municipality estimated that 35 hectares (86 acres) had been destroyed or marked for destruction and about 1,500 people had been evicted from their homes by Saturday afternoon in the district of Ein Deir Baha. The whole city of 250,000 people was sealed off by checkpoints on every point of entry.

Физика написана плохо

Вы когда-нибудь смотрели на формулу и пытались понять, что там написано? Для меня, как для программиста, физическая формула - это полный набор антипаттернов.

Недавно я с удивлением обнаружил, что таксофоны до сих пор существуют и используются по назначению. Казалось бы, эпоха этих аппаратов давно закончилась: последние карточные таксофоны демонтировали, отключили от сети или оставили ржаветь где-нибудь на улице в качестве арт-объектов. Теперь они разве что пугают зумеров и вызывают приступы ностальгии у бумеров, которым достаточно увидеть телефонную будку, чтобы вспомнить «Плачет девушка в автомате».

Other voter concerns have prevailed but return of Congress likely to see renewed focus on late sex offender’s activities

As US voters head to the polls for crucial and fraught midterm elections, some survivors’ advocates in the Jeffrey Epstein investigation have expressed concern that the scandal could recede into the background.

Political experts believe, however, the Epstein issue is not going away permanently and that many voters can balance day-to-day concerns such as affordability and AI with the scandal involving the late financier and accused sex trafficker whose social circle was widespread among America’s elite.

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported 4,588 cases across the country, more than double the tally in 2025

Federal health authorities reported an additional 178 cases of measles in the US this week, as the vaccine-preventable illness continues to sicken people across at least 43 outbreaks.

The new data reported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) comes as experts criticize the agency for lack of transparency, and as health secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr takes steps to further upend US vaccine infrastructure.

Election Day is almost here — but even after the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November, the election won’t really be over. The vote count will take days or even weeks in some states. President Donald Trump seems certain to raise objections to results he doesn’t like — he’s already getting started in Alaska — and he has threatened to marshal the forces of the federal government in his efforts.

It’s an anxious moment for American voters: Will we have a free and fair election — or not? Luckily, says Eliza Sweren-Becker, deputy director in the Brennan Center’s Voting Rights and Elections Program, there is still one thing that every American 18 and older can do to make sure their voice is heard: vote.

“I think that is the intent. It’s to create a lack of confidence. It’s to discourage voters from participating,” Sweren-Becker told Vox’s Astead Herndon on America, Actually. “But the only way that that campaign to undermine our confidence and to sow distrust actually works is if voters stay home. The way to defeat that attempt to shake voters’ trust in democracy is just to participate.”

Sweren-Becker spoke with Astead about what states could do to speed up their vote counts and ensure everyone has a chance to cast their ballot, the need to restore the Voting Rights Act, and the long-term impact of Trump’s election denialism.

Below is an excerpt of their conversation, edited for length and clarity. There’s much more in the full show, so listen to America, Actually wherever you get your podcasts or watch it on Vox’s YouTube channel.

Let’s start with Election Day. More than a dozen states count late-arriving ballots. President Donald Trump has used the shifting vote counts as pretense to further his own election interference claims.

How prepared should folks be for a long wait in November for results? And how that could impact confidence in the results?

You’re absolutely right that we may get results out of states or in certain races in the days following Election Day. Voters should not expect to have the final result on Election Day.

And when you hear reporting on the news that somebody’s ahead or somebody’s behind, remember: They haven’t counted all the votes yet.

The critical thing is we need to count every vote, and every person’s vote needs to be counted.

So while it is true that some states allow ballots to arrive after Election Day, they all have to be cast by Election Day. The Supreme Court just this year said that it’s totally appropriate for states to set their own ballot receipt deadlines. We have to be patient, as an American electorate, to get the proper results to count every ballot and make sure all the voices are heard.

But isn’t it kinda wild that we can’t get results on election night? I saw Donald Trump cite the Brazilian presidential election, and while I know he’s doing that from a self-interested place, I did think for a second: Why does it take so long for us to put these results together?

I could totally understand why people would prefer the results faster. And candidly, could states do better at preparing and counting faster? Sure. But they have limited resources. They are working their butts off to prepare for the election with the staff that they have, and then they work tremendously hard to count properly, accurately, as fast as they can.

Could states change their policies to allow them, in some places, to pre-process ballots, to allow them to get to results faster? Sure. I’m not saying states shouldn’t change their policies to create more efficiency here. But given the rules of the road that we have, we need to make sure that every properly cast ballot is counted.

If I’m someone who is concerned about election security and free and fair elections, what should I be looking out for?

So, for example, I have heard that there is some anxiety about mail voting.

If you want to cast a mail ballot, just know that you probably have a bunch of options in your state as to how you can cast it. You can certainly rely on the mail and have USPS deliver that ballot, but of course, we know occasionally mail gets delayed. Your state may have ballot drop boxes. You may have ballot drop-off at election officials’ offices, or even at polling places.

Find out your options.

Yes, definitely find out your options. Voters should also check their voter registration status. Make sure it’s up to date with their current address. Of course, if you’re not registered to vote and you still have time in your state to register, please do register.

Everyone should participate. Our democracy works best the more of us that can participate. If your registration date has not passed, don’t forget to register to vote. Vote with your friends, vote with your community, vote with your family. Voting should be joyful. It’s a civic experience that I think is really fun.

I try to take my kids with me to vote because it’s exciting. They get stickers. Everyone loves stickers.

It’s half the reason I go.

It’s also a reminder. You get your sticker, other people see you, they know it’s Election Day, maybe they go out to vote.

It’s a way to be part of your community and invest in your community and to choose who you want to be a leader of your community.

What about after Election Day?

Earlier this year, Democrats and Republicans in Congress circulated a letter asking members to commit to recognizing state-certified winners and “oppose any attempt to refuse or delay a seating of a member-elect.” We saw House Speaker Mike Johnson delay the swearing-in of an Arizona representative last year,

That seems to me like maybe a preview of what might be to come. How fearful should we be of these post-election attempts to block members from being seated?

I think those scenarios are highly unlikely. I understand why folks are worried about them, but the reality is, states have their own certification processes, which are laid out in state law and that are mandatory for them to follow. It is not discretionary whether states certify their elections. So once there is a new Congress, we have confidence that they will be seated according to how the voters actually cast their ballots.

I want to end by thinking about Trump’s consistent questioning of the integrity of our election system. If he ultimately doesn’t try to actually steal the election, what is the long-term impact of his relentless focus on it and support for policies like the Save America Act?

Just because we have won in many courts against this administration doesn’t delude me into thinking that this administration is just going to stop in this years-long campaign to sow doubt in our election systems.

I think that is the intent. It’s to create a lack of confidence. It’s to discourage voters from participating. And to some degree, I think the administration has succeeded in creating some confusion about the rules or a lack of confidence. But the only way that that campaign to undermine our confidence and to sow distrust actually works is if voters stay home.

The way to defeat that attempt to shake voters’ trust in democracy is to participate in our democracy and to turn out and to make their voices heard regardless of party, regardless of candidate. To say that we will not be made to fear participation in our democracy, but we are going to continue to seize it and take joy in it and show that we deserve a stronger representative democracy that serves all Americans.

What are things that could happen to inspire trust in our electoral system? Are there reforms that you think might make the public feel a reinvigorated sense of confidence?

There are certainly things that Congress could do to create a national floor of voter access and ensure that someone’s right to vote doesn’t depend on what state they live in. That includes basic reforms like same-day registration, online voter registration, universal access to mail voting that doesn’t require strict satisfaction of certain excuse requirements, which still exists in many states.

I think it’s time for Congress to ban partisan gerrymandering. I also think it’s time to restore the Voting Rights Act, and Congress can enact a statutory right to vote that is meaningfully enforceable so that voters can go to court if their voting rights have been burdened, and they can get a real remedy.

That has been really undermined by the Supreme Court, but Congress can and should respond. They have it within their power. The Constitution gives Congress the power to set rules for elections. They should.
