While GNSS processing methods on Earth correct for such distortions, GUARDIAN uses them as clues. The software scours a trove of data transmitted to more than 350 continuously operating GNSS ground stations around the world. It can potentially identify evidence of a tsunami up to about 745 miles (1,200 kilometers) from a given station. In ideal situations, vulnerable coastal communities near a GNSS station could know when a tsunami was heading their way and authorities would have as much as 1 h

For many children, reading aloud can be nerve-wracking. The fear of stumbling over the text, mispronouncing words and being judged for it in front of a group of peers can spike anxiety and dampen confidence. A new study by researchers from the University of Chicago, University of Illinois Chicago and University of Wisconsin–Madison suggests a surprising ally — robots — may ease that stress.

Page Object (2013)

news.ycombinator.com Martin Fowler 2025-09-22 06:26:19

When you write tests against a web page, you need to refer to elements within that web page in order to click links and determine what's displayed. However, if you write tests that manipulate the HTML elements directly your tests will be brittle to changes in the UI. A page object wraps an HTML page, or fragment, with an application-specific API, allowing you to manipulate page elements without digging around in the HTML. The basic rule of thumb for a page object is that it should allow a softw

Eye drops could replace glasses or surgery for longsightedness, study says

Doctors have developed special eye drops for people with longsightedness that could replace the need for reading glasses or surgery. Hundreds of millions of people worldwide have presbyopia, which is when the eyes find it difficult to focus on objects and text up close. Glasses or surgery can usually resolve the problem but many find wearing spectacles inconvenient and having an operation is not an option for everyone.

Divorce in later life is becoming more common – and scientists are beginning to explore the surprisingly deep impact this can have on adult children and their relationships. Divorce is greying. The US has one of the highest divorce rates in the world, even though over the past four decades, it has fallen among younger couples. Instead, middle-aged and older adults have taken over. In fact, adults aged 65 and older are now the only age group in the US with a growing divorce rate. For the over-5

Repetitive negative thinking associated with cognitive decline in older adults

The present study suggested that the risk of cognitive impairment increased with higher RNT scores among older adults, and the robustness of the finding was confirmed through adjustment for various potential confounding variables. Additionally, individuals aged 60 ~ 79 years, junior high school and above were more prone to suffer from cognitive impairment with a high RNT score. However, the correlation between RNT and cognitive function was not significant in older adults aged 80 to 90 years, or

A single, 'naked' black hole confounds theories of the young cosmos

A black hole unlike any seen before has been spotted in the early universe. It’s huge and appears to be essentially on its own, with few stars circling it. The object, which may represent a whole new class of enormous “naked” black holes, upends the textbook understanding of the young universe. “This is completely off the scale,” said Roberto Maiolino, an astrophysicist at the University of Cambridge who helped reveal the nature of the object in a preprint posted on August 29. “It’s terribly ex
