Interesting article about tensions in software development practices that have been brought to the surface by the increasing adoption of Rust and, perhaps to a lesser extent, Go: octet-stream.net/b/scb/2025-03… It unfortunately doesn't mention the Swift solution to ABI-stable dylibs in a modern language: faultlore.com/blah/swift-abi/ Of course, Swift unfortunately hasn't caught on much outside the Apple world.

Жевательный микропластик

Если вдруг в новостях начнут рассказывать, мол, ну вот и всё, горячая жевательная резинка медленно, но верно убивает неокрепший человеческий организм, запуская в него тонны микропластика, то вы над этим посмеётесь. Правда же? А я расскажу, как было на самом деле.

Во-первых, это не научная публикация, а сообщение на весенней конференции Американского химического общества (ACS).

Во-вторых, это пилотное исследование с одним (савсэм одним) участником. Ему давали жевательную резинку и засекали время до полной пластификации. К сожалению, пластификация не состоялась, но о чём-то на конференции сообщать было надо. Тогда намерили, что каждый грамм резинки выделяет 637 частиц микропластика. Много это или мало - авторы не уточнили, но за них коллеги по ASC объяснили, что каждый человек потребляет «десятки тысяч частиц диаметром от 1 мкм до 5 мм» каждый год. Ещё авторы посчитали, что 94% всех частиц высвобождаются в течение первых 8 минут жевания. И уточнили, что синтетические и растительные смолы выделяли одинаково количество микропластика (P>0,8, причём где-то здесь должен раздаться дружный закадровый ржач, напоминаю, что ну хотя бы 0,05, лучше меньше).

Но сами-то авторы какой вывод делают? Это мы можем узнать также из пресс-релизов и комментариев для новостей.

***🍬***Первое: «жувачку» на предмет микропластика ещё не изучали и его там нашли.
***🍬***Второе: «синтетика» в жевательной резинке или натуралка - без разницы, если именно на микропластик ориентироваться.
***🍬***Третье: «Наша цель — не встревожить кого-либо. Ученые не знают, опасен ли для нас микропластик или нет. Испытаний на людях не проводилось. Но мы знаем, что подвергаемся воздействию пластика в повседневной жизни, и именно это мы хотели здесь изучить».
***🍬***Четвёртое: «Пластик, попадающий в слюну, составляет лишь малую часть пластика, который находится в жвачке. Поэтому будьте внимательны к окружающей среде и не выбрасывайте жвачки на улицу или не приклеивайте их к стене. Если использованная жвачка не выбрасывается должным образом, она также становится еще одним источником загрязнения окружающей среды пластиком».

Правда, как именно выбрасывать жвачку, учёные не уточнили. Видимо, это будет темой следующих исследований. Хотя, предположу, что утилизировать её необходимо как пластик. Раз она из него состоит.

So Apparently you can't use @Tutanota apps with Linux because Linux is open-source and Tuta prefers to only support closed-source OSs and blindly trust that there are no hidden backdoors or Zero-Day vulnerabilities tuta.com/support#secretstorage

And they expect people to PAY to use their service? Companies like Tuta can afford to add to the open-source stack, but clearly choose not to...

Krásné dobré ráno mastodonní bando! 🙋‍♀️🐶🐈
Omlouvám se, ale podařilo se mi uhnat si otravu jídlem. Takže sobotu jsem víceméně strávila na oné místnosti, za kterou funěl Archibaldík a hlídal. No a neděli jsem celou zase prospala, slabá, jako moucha. I z Baldíka je vysoce výkonná ošetřovatelka. Nehnul se ode mě ani na krok a neustále sledoval vývoj. Nerozhodily ho ani absence větších vycházek.
Vás ať dneska taky nic nerozhodí, i když zase vstáváme do tmy.

A Montreal doctor says her presentation at NYU was abruptly cancelled and believes the university did so out of fear of being pressured by the Donald Trump administration.
