Should We Drain the Everglades?

news.ycombinator.com Rabbit Cavern 2025-09-28 06:33:35

Lake Okeechobee, the largest lake in Florida, has an average depth of only nine feet (2.7 meters). Oh, and it has 30,000 alligators, but try not to think about that. Dough4872 , CC BY-SA 4.0 , via Wikimedia Commons I can’t explain why this bothers me so much, but something about it being so big and yet so shallow just creeps me out. I find it unsettling, okay? Mentally, it makes me feel like noodles, if that makes sense. It’s the eighth-largest (freshwater) lake in the country but I’ve swam i

Wind turbine blade transportation challenges

The world’s largest airplane, when it’s built, will stretch more than a football field from tip to tail. Sixty percent longer than the biggest existing aircraft, with 12 times as much cargo space as a 747, the behemoth will look like an oil tanker that’s sprouted wings—aeronautical engineering at a preposterous scale. Called WindRunner, and expected by 2030, it’ll haul just one thing: massive wind-turbine blades. In most parts of the world, onshore wind-turbine blades can be built to a length o

Dayvi Schuster 12 min read Tuesday, September 9, 2025 In Defense of C++ Why C++ remains a powerful and relevant programming language in today's tech landscape. The Reputation of C++ C++ has often and frequently been criticized for its complexity, steep learning curve, and most of all for its ability to allow the developers using it to not only shoot themselves in the foot, but to blow off their whole leg in the process. But do these criticisms hold up under scrutiny? Well, in this blog post,

Ahead of its formal debut in the near future, Xiaomi is showing off the new Xiaomi 17 Pro, which has an iPhone-like camera bar on the back, but uses that real estate for a rear display. In a post on Weibo, Xiaomi shares a brief video that shows the Xiaomi 17 Pro. At first, the phone is shown with a sectioned design that features a section along the top that includes the cameras. It’s not quite a Pixel-like “Camera Bar,” but rather more similar to Apple’s iPhone 17 Pro redesign. The twist, thou

When we hear of criminal activity at Walt Disney World, it’s not usually pertaining to an action sequence that feels like it’s come right out of a Disney movie itself. But that was apparently the case this week in Orlando, when over $10,000 was stolen from a Disney World restaurant by a scuba-diving criminal mastermind.

Implicit ODE Solvers Are Not Universally More Robust Than Explicit ODE Solvers

news.ycombinator.com Christopher Rackauckas 2025-09-28 15:41:51

A very common adage in ODE solvers is that if you run into trouble with an explicit method, usually some explicit Runge-Kutta method like RK4, then you should try an implicit method. Implicit methods, because they are doing more work, solving an implicit system via a Newton method having “better” stability, should be the thing you go to on the “hard” problems. This is at least what I heard at first, and then I learned about edge cases. Specifically, you hear people say “but for hyperbolic PDEs

If you’ve just installed iOS 26, the first thing you will, of course, have noticed is the new Liquid Glass user interface.

It wasn't until your average electric car started managing 200 miles on a charge that the buying populace started getting over their range anxiety. That means electric motorcycles, with ranges often measured in double digits, remain a bit of a tough sell for mass-market buyers.
