zdnet.com Jack Wallen 2026-02-28 21:07:00

Jack Wallen / Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET I depend on virtual machines. With them, I can easily use and review any Linux distribution on the market. I can also deploy various services on my network. For example, I have an instance of InvoicePlane that runs as a virtual machine (and I use daily to bill clients). I've used virtual machines for all sorts of things, and they have made my life considerably better. One of the tools I use to run virtual machines is VirtualBox. This application makes

Announcing the Clippy feature freeze

news.ycombinator.com June 2026-03-01 17:07:18

The Clippy project will be on feature-freeze for 12 weeks, starting from Rust 1.89.0 beta (June 26th 2025) to September 18th 2025 (Rust 1.89.0 stable release). During this time no new features will be accepted, only bug fixes. This feature freeze comes from a lack of the necessary capacity needed to maintain all the current lints (over 750 of them 😱) and still add new ones. We need to care for the Clippy project the same way that Clippy cares about our code, and note that every single one of th

Using the Ocean to Suck Up CO2 Could Come With the Small, Unintended Side Effect of Wiping Out Marine Life

futurism.com Unknown 2026-03-01 15:30:33

As global temperatures soar and emissions remain higher than ever, scientists are exploring the dramatic, planet-wide interventions we could take to stave off the climate crisis. One of the most intriguing possibilities involves using the ocean, already the world's largest carbon sink, to suck up even more of the greenhouse gas by removing some of the carbon that it already stores. Dozens of startups are already experimenting with this form of climate intervention, which is sometimes referred

Methane Pollution Has Cheap, Effective Solutions That Aren’t Being Used

wired.com Umair Irfan 2026-03-01 11:00:00

This story originally appeared on Vox and is part of the Climate Desk collaboration. Odorless and colorless, methane is a gas that is easy to miss—but it’s one of the most important contributors to global warming. It can trap up to 84 times as much heat as carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, though it breaks down much faster. Measured over 100 years, its warming effect is about 30 times that of an equivalent amount of carbon dioxide. That means that over the course of decades, it takes smaller a

Two satellites just carefully lined up to form a perfect "artificial total solar eclipse" in orbit. Earlier this year, the two probes, which are part of the European Space Agency's Proba-3 mission, positioned themselves in a perfect line 492 feet apart to have one of them perfectly obfuscate the Sun's rays.
