NASA may lose close to 4,000 employees after latest deferred resignation round

engadget.com Unknown 2025-12-30 03:44:52

The second round of deferred resignations for NASA staff closed on Friday, and the agency says roughly 3,000 employees applied to leave, according to Bloomberg . The Trump administration first offered the deferred resignation program as a buyout to government workers in January as it gutted the federal workforce under the guidance of DOGE — then led by Elon Musk — asking employees to resign while still receiving benefits and pay for a period of time. In the earlier round, 870 NASA employees repo

Formal specs as sets of behaviors

news.ycombinator.com Lorin Hochstein 2025-12-30 03:13:55

Amazon’s recent announcement of their spec-driven AI tool, Kiro, inspired me to write a blog post on a completely unrelated topic: formal specifications. In particular, I wanted to write about how a formal specification is different from a traditional program. It took a while for this idea to really click in my own head, and I wanted to motivate some intuition here. In particular, there have been a number of formal specification tools that have been developed in recent years which use programmi

Algorithm for simulating phosphor persistence of analog oscilloscopes

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-12-26 20:56:30

Background to phosphor displays and analog oscilloscopes For all of you that have used analog oscilloscopes or other equipment with a phosphor display knows how beautiful the image can be from such displays. The color grading, which naturally occurs due to the persistence in the glow from the phosphor, also acts as a useful measurement on the signal integrity, such as how much noise there is and the shape/modulation of the underlying signal.

Two years ago, Coyote vs. Acme was a victim of Warner Bros. Discovery’s cost-cutting cancellation wave. Despite public outcry, it initially seemed like it’d never see the light of day. But things have worked out in its favor: it’s coming to theaters next year, and San Diego Comic-Con offered a first look at what’s to come in the Looney Tunes’ latest movie and, more importantly, a release date: August 28, 2026.

We may not know much about Avengers: Doomsday right now, but we’ve known for months the Fantastic Four will be a core part of it.

Earlier in July, Fantastic Four: First Steps director Matt Shakman described Reed to Variety as a man who “goes from being a nerdy scientist to the husband and father who’d do anything to protect his family, to the guy who’s leading the

It's time for modern CSS to kill the SPA

It’s time for modern CSS to kill the SPA Native CSS transitions have quietly killed the strongest argument for client-side routing. Yet people keep building terrible apps instead of performant websites. The app-like fallacy “Make it feel like an app.” At some point during the scoping process, someone says the words. A CMO. A digital lead. A brand manager. And with that single phrase, the architecture is locked in: it’ll be an SPA. Probably React. Maybe Vue. Almost certainly deployed on Verce

The Brave web browser and the ad-blocker AdGuard have both announced that they are blocking Microsoft Recall by default .

Microplastics used to sound like a distant environmental issue, but they're showing up in more places than you'd expect, including the food we eat every day. According to new research, even something as simple as chewing gum could expose you to tiny plastic particles. With something as common as chewing gum becoming a microplastic delivery system, many people are concerned about how often they're consuming the potential hidden hazard.
