Preserving Order in Concurrent Go Apps: Three Approaches Compared

news.ycombinator.com Viktor Nikolaiev 2025-10-20 05:14:31

wired.com Matt Simon 2025-10-20 12:00:00

This story originally appeared on Grist and is part of the Climate Desk collaboration. Seen from space, Antarctica looks so much simpler than the other continents—a great sheet of ice set in contrast to the dark waters of the encircling Southern Ocean. Get closer, though, and you’ll find not a simple cap of frozen water, but an extraordinarily complex interplay between the ocean, sea ice, and ice sheets and shelves. That relationship is in serious peril. A new paper in the journal Nature catal
