A small team led by Sihao Cheng, Martin A. and Helen Chooljian Member in the Institute for Advanced Study’s School of Natural Sciences, has discovered an extraordinary trans-Neptunian object (TNO), named 2017 OF 201 , at the edge of our solar system. The TNO is potentially large enough to qualify as a dwarf planet, the same category as the much more well-known Pluto. The new object is one of the most distant visible objects in our solar system and, significantly, suggests that the empty section

Scientists are intrigued after spotting a highly unusual celestial object lurking at the very edge of our solar system. It's possible the trans-Neptunian object, dubbed 2017 OF201, is large enough to qualify as a dwarf planet, making it an "extreme 'cousin' of Pluto," according to Princeton postdoc Sihao Cheng, who coauthored a yet-to-be-peer-reviewed paper on the findings. The discovery was also confirmed by the International Astronomical Union's Minor Planet Center last week, lending it an a

It’s a planet—a minor one, to be fair—but one of the largest yet discovered and with an orbit around the Sun that puts our own planet’s orbit to shame. The minor world is dubbed 2017 OF201; the International Astronomical Union’s Minor Planet Center added the object to its catalog on May 21. Despite its classification, the planet measures somewhere between 290 and 510 miles (470 and 820 kilometers) across. Its u

Implementing State Machines in PostgreSQL July 27, 2017 Published: Finite-state machine (FSM) is a wonderful model of computation that has many practical applications. One of my favorites is turning business logic into simple FSMs. For example consider the following requirements for an order management system: Orders must not ship before they are paid. Orders can be canceled, but only if they haven’t shipped yet. An order that has already been paid, needs to be refunded after canceling. I

MacBooks are many things — beautifully designed, reliable, sturdy, fast, and powerful among them. Inexpensive, however, is not a word you hear applied to MacBooks often, if ever.
