静态网站悖论
个人网站的两种不同实现方式：一种是复杂的内容管理系统（CMS），另一种是简单的静态 HTML 文件。文章指出，尽管大多数普通用户倾向于使用复杂的解决方案（如 WordPress），但实际上，只有少数专业软件工程师能够选择更简单的静态网站。

前两天刚好听朋友说 square space 已经涨到了近乎搞笑的 $25 月费，做不用来盈利的个人博客实在难以 justify。这篇文章中吐槽得很在点子上：
normal users are stuck with a bunch of greedy clowns that make them pay for every little thing, all while wasting ungodly amounts of computational power to render what could have been a static website in 99% of cases.
普通用户被困在了一群屁大点功能都要收费的贪婪小丑手里，与此同时浪费着人神共愤额度的算力来渲染 99% 的情况下都可以作为静态的网站。
当然原文中说的“只有少数专业软件工程师才能选择更简单的静态网站”略微夸张并不认同，因为静态站至少是比 self-host 的动态 CMS 少太多维护了。我的 backlog 里也一直躺了篇安利新手用静态站并拉踩 WP 的文，不过网上这种文已经有无数了也还是拦不住前赴后继往各种 CMS 的坑里冲的新手，觉得写了又有什么意义呢就还搁着没写。（当然迟早会像以前反复造的无数轮子一样被废话欲战胜的 but not today）

Exports of American spirits plunged in the second quarter of 2025, according to a new report, with a massive 85 percent drop in liquor exports to Canada, largely attributed to President Donald Trump’s tariffs.
The midyear report from the Distilled Spirits Council of the U.S. indicates American distillers are feeling the economic impact of significant trading partners boycotting U.S.-made whiskey, brandy, vodka, and cordials.
Last year, exports to Canada, the European Union, the United Kingdom and Japan accounted for 70 percent of the U.S. spirit exports. But those exports are now down 85 percent, 12 percent, 29 percent, and 23 percent, respectively.

Early Roman women were forbidden to drink wine, and a husband who found his wife drinking was at liberty to kill her. The prohibition stemmed from a deeply patriarchal society that viewed women as weak and susceptible to vice, believing that wine could lead them to "inappropriate behavior" or "debauchery".

📰 Saudi Arabia’s Booze Ban: The Quiet Revolution
Saudi Arabia is quietly lifting its decades-old ban on alcohol—no fanfare, no press release, just a discreet nod to modernization. In Riyadh, non-Muslim residents with premium status can now buy beer, wine, and spirits at a single, unmarked store.
This isn’t just about booze. It’s about image, money, and the kingdom’s bid to attract wealthy expats and tourists. Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has spent years transforming Saudi Arabia: women drive, concerts happen, and bars are built—even if they were empty until now.
The process is low-key. At the liquor store, buyers show their residency card, prove they’re not Muslim, and stash their phones before browsing. The selection is decent, prices are high, but it’s still cheaper than the black market.
Analysts say the change is just the start. Expect alcohol at luxury resorts and hotels along the Red Sea, following Dubai’s playbook. The kingdom needs foreign cash, and relaxing moral rules is part of the pitch.
But it’s not a free-for-all. Alcohol will stay banned in religious cities like Mecca and Medina. The government is treading carefully, aware that most Saudis remain conservative.
As one longtime expat put it:
“It’s exciting. No more dangerous homemade liquor or overpriced smuggled bottles.”
So while Saudi Arabia still executes dissenters and bans homosexuality, it’s learning to serve a cocktail.

🎵 Loud music in bars leads people to drink more alcohol in less time, according to a study. Patrons consumed faster and ordered more under high-volume conditions—possibly due to increased arousal or reduced conversation.

Women get drunk faster than men because their bodies have less water and fewer enzymes to break down alcohol. This means alcohol stays stronger and longer in their blood. Because of this, women face higher risks of health problems from drinking, even if they drink less than men. 🍷⚠️

Из рубрики «Для эрудитов»
Сергей Рубинштейн не курил и полностью отказался от алкоголя, ведя аскетичный, строго сосредоточенный на работе образ жизни. Это соответствовало его пониманию психологии деятельности: сознание трактовалось им как внутреннее условие детерминизма субъекта, этической ответственности и глубокого единства с миром через рефлексивный анализ. Он прожил 70 лет и скоропостижно скончался 11 января 1960 года.
Алексей Леонтьев, напротив, курил интенсивно и постоянно, превратив сигарету в неотъемлемую часть общения, семинаров и повседневной атмосферы факультета психологии МГУ; данных о заметном потреблении алкоголя нет. Его деятельность носила преимущественно организационный, эмпирический и коллективный характер с акцентом на структуру мотивов, целей и операций, что сформировало его сознание как динамичное, практическое отражение реальности в непрерывных научных и административных процессах. Несмотря на вредную привычку, он прожил 76 лет и умер 21 января 1979 года от разрыва аорты после нескольких месяцев тяжёлой болезни.
Таким образом, различия в их деятельностях предопределили и различия их сознания: у Рубинштейна — философски углублённого, ориентированного на истину и этику, что обеспечивало ясность до конца, но сократило жизнь; у Леонтьева — деятельного, коммуникативного организатора, где даже курение органично вплеталось в ткань взаимодействия, продлевая продуктивный период.
