The Great Unracking: Saying goodbye to the servers at our physical datacenter

news.ycombinator.com Ryan Donovan 2026-01-05 00:06:49

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

The ‘Hail Mary’ That Saved NASA’s Juno Camera From Jupiter’s Radiation Hell

gizmodo.com Margherita Bassi 2026-01-09 00:26:35

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

Laminar Flow Airfoil

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-01-08 20:54:27

Laminar Flow is the smooth, uninterrupted flow of air over the contour of the wings, fuselage, or other parts of an aircraft in flight. Laminar flow is most often found at the front of a streamlined body and is an important factor in flight. If the smooth flow of air is interrupted over a wing section, turbulence is created which results in a loss of lift and a high degree of drag. An airfoil designed for minimum drag and uninterrupted flow of the boundary layer is called a laminar airfoil. The

Would singularities persist even in rougher, more realistic-looking spaces?
