A storm cloud has descended upon Washington

A fantastic lecture by Walter Lewin dedicated to the launch of his new book. It will be interesting for everyone who is keen on physics (the lecture is about very simple things, but presented in a very cool way – with cool experiments and so on). If you need a translation into Russian, here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iLhl0wMY_uI

I’d never have thought that I captured this cosmic landscape at a Muse concert. Below – hands

Tested the iPhoneX camera on a blinding streetlamp near the house at night to check the dynamic range. Here’s what I got

Could you recommend something wildly engaging for family listening (ages 12-39) during a 10-hour car ride? Audiobooks, fiction or non-fiction.

I only just realized what “check” means in chess, and what “mate” signifies. It’s like a whole love story unfolding.

The coolest thing about the iPhone X is unlocking the phone with just a glance and its absolutely seamless software performance. I never understood why Android would have lock screen notifications if you can’t properly interact with them (since you then need to enter a code, etc.). Here, you click on a notification and it opens up. That is, if it’s the owner doing it. And it won’t open if it’s not the owner.

Surprisingly, I am even pleased with the headphone jack adapter. Because a standard port is too conventional, and standard headphone plugs vary too much. If the plug is long, it acts like a lever and damages the phone. Gradually, no matter how carefully it’s used. All adapters have long plugs, long enough for a dangerous lever. In the iPhone, no lever is created since all plugs are soft.

The size is also very aptly chosen. The thumb reaches the left edge without accidentally touching the screen in the wrong places. Make the screen just a bit larger, and this convenience would be lost.

I publish my developments on the blog. Today it’s the turn for a rather useful script that finds external links to Hybris objects. In Hybris, there is a layer between the database and the application that simplifies data handling. And when you need to find the answer to “where is this (for example) product, or (for example) category, or (for example) image used”, a quick answer might not be found, since “out of the box” there are no such tools. Any of the thousands of objects may have a link, and scanning them all is expensive. Sharing a script that smartly scans and promptly displays external links to an object (as best as it can; beta version, Q&D)
