Climate Experts Roast Joe Rogan After He Misinterprets Simple Graph to Claim Earth Is Cooling

gizmodo.com Ellyn Lapointe 2025-10-09 08:27:47

Podcaster and former UFC commentator Joe Rogan isn’t exactly known for his scientific expertise, but Rogan’s recent claim that the Earth is cooling—ignoring decades of empirical evidence for global warming—is so egregious that climate experts are straight up roasting him for it. In several recent episodes of The Joe Rogan Experience, Rogan has used a temperature graph in a Washington Post article in order to claim that global temperatures are actually plummeting. The graph in question comes fro

Action was the best 8-bit programming language

news.ycombinator.com Paul Lefebvre 2025-10-11 11:25:54

There were many programming languages available for 8-bit computers, the most common being BASIC and Assembly Language, but there were also other lesser-used languages such as Logo, Forth, and Pilot. The languages that would go on to dominate 16-bit computing, C and Pascal, were also available but were usually severely limited. An 8-bit computer generally did not have enough horsepower to run those more complex language compilers. By 1983 Optimized Systems Software (OSS) was renown in the Atari

The first stars may not have been as uniformly massive as we thought

For decades, astronomers have wondered what the very first stars in the universe were like. These stars formed new chemical elements, which enriched the universe and allowed the next generations of stars to form the first planets. The first stars were initially composed of pure hydrogen and helium, and they were massive—hundreds to thousands of times the mass of the Sun and millions of times more luminous. Their short lives ended in enormous explosions called supernovae, so they had neither the
