The Illumos Cafe: Another Cozy Corner for OS Diversity

news.ycombinator.com Stefano Marinelli 2025-11-07 22:27:57

Introducing the illumos Cafe: Another Cozy Corner for OS Diversity From the BSD Cafe to illumos Cafe The idea for this new project was born from the success of the BSD Cafe, an initiative I introduced to the world in July 2023, which received an incredibly positive response. Far more than I ever anticipated. The BSD community already had its well-established hubs: in the Fediverse, places like bsd.network, exquisite.social, and others were already thriving, not to mention all the forums, chann

The resident hadn’t recently traveled, suggesting they likely caught it from homegrown mosquitoes. If so, this would be the first locally acquired malaria case seen in the state in over three decades

Misunderstood “photophoresis” effect could loft metal sheets to exosphere

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-11-23 17:28:50

Most people would recognize the device in the image above, although they probably wouldn't know it by its formal name: the Crookes radiometer. As its name implies, placing the radiometer in light produces a measurable change: the blades start spinning. Unfortunately, many people misunderstand the physics of its operation (which we'll return to shortly). The actual forces that drive the blades to spin, called photophoresis, can act on a variety of structures as long as they're placed in a suffic

The ancient estate of Villa Romana del Casale in Sicily is known for featuring some of the most beautiful examples of Roman mosaics preserved in their original location. As if the site wasn’t already famous enough, researchers and students have uncovered a mosaic of sandals so modern-looking they could be straight out of a Havaianas commercial. The sandals, part of a larger mosaic decorating the floors of the villa’s southern thermal area, consist of two pale flip-flops with slightly elongated

CRISPR gene-editing therapy has shown great potential to treat and even cure diseases, but scientists are now discovering how it can be used to prevent them as well. A team of researchers found a way to edit a single gene in a mosquito that prevented it from transmitting malaria, according to a paper published in Nature.
