news.ycombinator.com Ryan Donovan 2025-07-21 12:06:49

Since October 2010, all Stack Exchange sites have run on physical hardware in a datacenter in New York City (well, New Jersey). These have had a warm spot in our history and our hearts. When I first joined the company and worked out of the NYC office, I saw the original server mounted on a wall with a laudatory plaque like a beloved pet. Over the years, we’ve shared glamor shots of our server racks and info about updating them. For almost our entire 16-year existence, the SRE team has managed a

gizmodo.com Margherita Bassi 2025-07-24 20:26:35

NASA’s Juno spacecraft, which launched in 2011 to investigate Jupiter’s origin and evolution, travels through the solar system’s most intense planetary radiation fields. When the spacecraft’s JunoCam—a color, visible-light camera—began to suffer the consequences in December 2023, the mission team back on Earth had to think of a remote fix before they lost their chance to photograph the Jovian moon, Io. A relatively simple process was ultimately what enabled the long-distance save: heating the i

When you turn on the faucet, you expect the water that comes out to be clean. When you go to the bank, you expect your money will still be there.
