Andy Walker / Android Authority Google Chrome on Android has finally caught up with the rest of civilization by bashing two rocks together to introduce a bottom URL bar. Users who have sought out the feature and found it on Firefox, Samsung Internet, and Microsoft Edge can now choose which address bar position they prefer on Google’s browser: the traditional top of the screen or the more convenient bottom-edge placement.

Off with Their Heads: Illustrations of Blemmyes (ca. 1175–1724)

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-02-21 23:57:50

No matter that a headless tribe of people never existed, their inclusion in ancient histories made them popular fodder for later bestiary and travelogue traditions. Beginning with their appearance in the late-tenth century Marvels of the East, the Blemmyes often look just as confused as we are — staring out at the viewer, as if trying to understand where, exactly, their neck went wrong. In these illustrations, Blemmyes frequently keep equally strange bedfellows. The thirteenth-century Rutland Ps

In recent years, gene therapy has emerged as a promising treatment for genetic forms of congenital deafness—hearing loss that’s present at birth—in children. A new study shows that gene therapy can bestow hearing in teenagers and adults with this condition, too. The study, published Wednesday in the journal Nature Medicine, recruited patients with deafness or severe hearing impairment caused by mutations in the OTOF gene.

Longer, hotter summers mean one thing: longer, itchier, angrier mosquito seasons. And if June's sizzling heat waves are any preview of summer's dog days, you're gonna need more than good vibes and a flickering citronella candle to make it through.

Why Do Swallows Fly to the Korean DMZ?

Since 1953, the 250-kilometer-long artificial boundary of the DMZ has cut through the middle of the Korean peninsula. The demilitarized buffer zone created more than seven decades ago between the two warring states often feels impenetrable and permanent. However, the DMZ is livelier and more fluid than it seems. In fact, much of the DMZ crosses water—oceans, estuaries, and rivers. A quarter of this boundary falls upon the Han River estuary (한강하구), a “neutral” zone according to the Korean Armisti

Ancient DNA Unlocks the Secret Recipe of Roman Fish Sauce

gizmodo.com Margherita Bassi 2026-02-26 02:01:29

Ancient Romans were known for creating delicious sauces, including garum—a famous fish-based condiment. Scientists studying ancient DNA from a Roman-era salting plant in Spain have found that European sardines were the key ingredient. Fish was an important part of the ancient Roman diet, and Romans processed their catch for long-term preservation in coastal fish-salting plants called cetariae. There, they crushed and fermented small fish into pastes and sauces such as the iconic umami-flavored
