Should we drain the Everglades?

news.ycombinator.com Rabbit Cavern 2025-09-27 15:33:35

Lake Okeechobee, the largest lake in Florida, has an average depth of only nine feet (2.7 meters). Oh, and it has 30,000 alligators, but try not to think about that. Dough4872 , CC BY-SA 4.0 , via Wikimedia Commons I can’t explain why this bothers me so much, but something about it being so big and yet so shallow just creeps me out. I find it unsettling, okay?

I just want an 80×25 console, but that's no longer possible

news.ycombinator.com John Goerzen 2025-09-28 00:26:02

Somehow along the way, a feature that I’ve had across DOS, OS/2, FreeBSD, and Linux — and has been present on PCs for more than 40 years — is gone. That feature, of course, is the 80×25 text console. Linux has, for awhile now, rendered its text console using graphic modes. You can read all about it here. This has been necessary because only PCs really had the 80×25 text mode (Raspberry Pis, for instance, never did), and even they don’t have it when booted with UEFI. I’ve lately been annoyed t

In Praise of Idleness (1932)

Like most of my generation, I was brought up on the saying “Satan finds some mischief still for idle hands to do.” Being a highly virtuous child, I believed all that I was told and acquired a conscience which has kept me working hard down to the present moment. But although my conscience has controlled my actions, my opinions have undergone a revolution. I think that there is far too much work done in the world, that immense harm is caused by the belief that work is virtuous, and that what needs

Ozempic May Be Less Effective for Emotional Eaters, Study Suggests

gizmodo.com Margherita Bassi 2025-09-28 00:00:33

GLP-1 agonists—so-called “wonder drugs” like Ozempic or Wegovy that help individuals lower blood sugar levels and lose weight, among other things—yield significant results for some patients, but not all. People’s motivations to overeat may play a role in this, according to a new study. To investigate why some people don’t benefit from GLP-1 agonists as much as others, researchers observed 92 participants with type 2 diabetes in Japan during their first year of taking GLP-1 drugs.

Apple Vision Pro gains support for digital prism correction

Google pokes a banana-shaped hole in Musk’s claims of Apple’s bias towards OpenAI

Miniature LEDs called micro-LEDs have been shown to generate random numbers at gigabit-per-second speeds by a team of researchers from Saudi Arabia and the United States[1].
