На днях закончился научно-фантастический сериал Expanse по серии книг Джеймса Кори. Я не читал книги, но сериал посмотрел с удовольствием.
По сюжету недалёкое будущее, на Земле адское перенаселение, и бОльшая часть людей живёт на пособие по безработице, потому что их банально нечем занять. Но живут не бедно, вполне в достатке. Другие две части человечества колонизировали Марс и пояс астероидов. Марсиане вынуждены были в суровых условиях выживать и терраформировать планету, поэтому стали мощной военной технократией и опередили в своих технологиях Землю. «Астеры» же влачат тяжёлое и вредное для организма (из-за низкой гравитации) существование на космических станциях и кораблях, занимаясь в основном шахтерскими работами и пиратством. В центре этого политического замеса одна девушка полуслучайно натыкается на инопланетную субстанцию, начинается сюжет.
Несмотря на упоминание инопланетян, сериал вполне взрослый и серьезный. Мне очень нравится, что автор не углубился в каноничные для космоопер упрощающие жизнь концепции. В Expanse нет искусственной гравитации: на станциях она создаётся вращением, на кораблях — ускорением и торможением, а люди носят электромагнитную обувь. Ещё тут нет гипердвигателя, поэтому люди не вышли за пределы Солнечной Системы, а внутри перелёты занимают недели и месяцы. Конкретно в сериале ещё и почти смело показано отсутствие звука в космосе: он, конечно, есть, но подаётся нам как бы из ушей членов экипажа. Внутри корабля ты услышишь выстрел из ракетницы, но смачных взрывов и шума реактивных струй в вакууме практически нет. При этом космические бои и физика движения кораблей переданы очень реалистично, а не как в Звёздных Войнах, где корабли это будто самолёты в атмосфере. Ну и да, никаких лазеров, из оружия снаряды, ракеты и рельсовые пушки. А связь со скоростью света с соответствующими задержками.
Стремление авторов не развлекать народ цветной жвачкой сыграло с ними злую шутку: сериал чуть было не закрыли из-за недостаточной аудитории. Но его выкупил Amazon — по слухам сам Джефф Безос был фанатом. Прикиньте, смотрите вы сериал, и тут услышали новости о его закрытии. Поднимаете трубку и покупаете сериал, чтобы продлить съёмки.
Впрочем, авторам не удалось нормально закрыть все сюжетные линии, а события, происходившие в первом сезоне, связаны с событиями из последнего сезона очень косвенно. И тем не менее, в современном мире это редкий образец умной и взрослой научной фантастики, почти не идущей на компромиссы.

IELTS BAND8.5+ #Schedule
✅A - READING!
Make sure that you spend at least 1 hour a day on the following (don’t forget to record vocab, underline useful collocations, copy them into your vocab book... if you have one):
✅ B - WATCHING
Don't watch your content passively with the video/radio etc. playing in the background. You need to listen attentively since you'll need to do the same in the exam. Train your ear at an early stage and make life easier for yourself down the line. Oh, and if watching something.... subtitles OFF! 1 hour a day, too.
📆 MONDAY
📖National Geographic: select THEMES and randomly read an article whether science, travel, adventure, animals etc.
💻Documentary: think about what you might have read and type the theme into YouTube
📆 TUESDAY
📖Time Magazine: click the box top left next to TIME and randomly read an article whether politics, business, tech, health etc.
💻YouTube Videos: I have put together a number of YouTube channels I enjoy in a post.
📆WEDNESDAY
📖 The Guardian: Randomly select different themes and select an article at random to read
💻BBC World service is a good one. Loads of different themes for background listening: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/live:bbc_world_serv..
📆THURSDAY
📖Scientific American : randomly select a news article to read.
💻 Documentary: Curiosity Stream is a good one, but it's a paid website.
📆FRIDAY (Entertainment)
📖 Continue reading a book of your choice PROVIDING it’s not a classic (continue with that after your course)
💻 Watch a film of your choice but still have pen and paper ready! Subtitles off!!!
📆SATURDAYS AND SUNDAYS
Focus on doing your grammar and vocab exercises, practice tests as well as go over the vocab and things you have recorded during the week. Use the weekend to write your essays.
My guidelines:
📌 It doesn't matter if you're interested in the themes or not. In the exam you don't have a choice. So stop being selective. Move beyond Friends and The Big Bang Theory.
📌 Record "chunks of language". Once you've done the article or video, summarize it out aloud recycling that language you have just jotted down. Maybe even write a small summary.
📌 Less is more! Do one article or video a day. That's enough. Better do one, learn and recycle the language rather than watch/read too many and remember nothing.

On any platform, when we want to do something #asynchronously, it usually involves an #event loop. An event loop is a loop that can register #tasks to be executed, execute them, delay or even cancel them and handle different events related to these operations. Generally, we #schedule multiple async functions to the event loop. The loop runs one function, while that function waits for #IO, it pauses it and runs another. When the first function completes IO, it is resumed. Thus two or more functions can #co_operatively run together. This the main goal of an event loop.
