World Wide Lightning Location Network

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-11-04 15:40:44

About WWLLN The World Wide Lightning Location Network (WWLLN - pronounced 'woollen'), is a network of very low frequency (VLF) radio lightning sensors operated by the University of Washington in Seattle. Most ground-based observations in the 3 - 30 kHz VLF band are dominated by impulsive signals from lightning discharges called “sferics”. Significant radiated electromagnetic power exists from a few hertz to several hundred megahertz, with the bulk of the energy radiated at VLF. With our world w

Why is this hard?

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-11-01 20:47:06

Every decision we make as developers is a tradeoff. We choose to do it because we believe that it holds benefit for what we are trying to accomplish. However, it is generally also a liability. The new code we are adding will need to be maintained, following new processes takes time, keeping infrastructure up-to-date and secure requires regular effort, etc. We are in an eternal battle to build what we need to build without being overwhelmed by these forces.

Do you have a package coming your way from overseas? (I do, it’s a gift, and I’m very annoyed.) Hopefully it’s not urgent, because it’s going to be a minute before that thing gets to our shores. Questions surrounding the Trump administration’s ongoing tariff regime, including a policy to end an exemption from taxing small packages, have resulted in postal services across the world simply choosing not to ship to the United States until things get sorted out, according to Bloomberg.

Scientists just found a protein that reverses brain aging

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-11-05 17:56:27

Aging is particularly harsh on the hippocampus -- the brain region responsible for learning and memory. Now, researchers at UC San Francisco have identified a protein that's at the center of this decline. They looked at how the genes and proteins in the hippocampus changed over time in mice and found just one that differed between old and young animals. It's called FTL1. Old mice had more FTL1, as well as fewer connections between brain cells in the hippocampus and diminished cognitive abilit

Continuing the retro computer series, I've recently completed the first part of a restoration of my Aunt's old Macintosh Classic.

Google Chose Durability Over Sleekness for the Pixel 10 Pro Fold, and That's OK

When Samsung debuted the Galaxy Z Fold 7 last month, the spotlight was on how thin and light that foldable phone is. On Wednesday, Google took a different approach when unveiling the Pixel 10 Pro Fold, focusing more on internal upgrades like a larger 5,015-mAh battery and an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance -- a major step in the world of foldables -- while sticking roughly with the design of the Pixel 9 Pro Fold.

Oh No, ‘World of Warcraft’ Is Getting Me Elf-Pilled Again

As someone who has played World of Warcraft on and off for what now qualifies as a significant portion of my life over the last 21 years, I’ve come to learn that there are two things that I deeply appreciate about Blizzard’s long-running fantasy MMO. The first is the way Warcraft has sat with, and handled, the evolution of its world and characters over those two decades as an ongoing entity. Well, that’s not really the first. Because the actual first is that I just really love Warcraft‘s elves.

Released in 2023, it was far from a perfect phone. It was underpowered, had a thick inner bezel and couldn't open completely flat.

The Pixel 10 Pro Fold has a big edge over the Galaxy Z Fold 7, with one catch

TL;DR The Pixel 10 Pro Fold offers the highest level of water and dust protection on a phone. Meanwhile, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 offers very limited protection from dust and water ingress.
