New Research Answers Lingering Questions About Siberia’s Exploding Tundra

gizmodo.com Ellyn Lapointe 2025-09-23 11:55:04

Looking for one more reason to worry about climate change? No? Well, here’s one anyway. Rising global temperatures are causing parts of the Siberian tundra to spontaneously explode. Scientists have been studying this bizarre phenomenon since 2014, when a mysterious 165-foot-deep (50-meter-deep) hole suddenly appeared on the Yamal Peninsula in northwest Siberia. Since then, they’ve identified more than a dozen similar craters on the Yamal and Gyda peninsulas and linked their formation to clima

Active phishing campaign targeting crates.io users

news.ycombinator.com Sept. 2025-09-28 15:51:33

We received multiple reports of a phishing campaign targeting crates.io users (from the rustfoundation.dev domain name), mentioning a compromise of our infrastructure and asking users to authenticate to limit damage to their crates. These emails are malicious and come from a domain name not controlled by the Rust Foundation (nor the Rust Project), seemingly with the purpose of stealing your GitHub credentials. We have no evidence of a compromise of the crates.io infrastructure. We are taking s

A Crack in the Cosmos

news.ycombinator.com Colin Wells 2025-10-18 22:11:05

Some time around the year 466 BCE – in the second year of the 78th Olympiad, the Roman naturalist Pliny the Elder tells us – a massive meteor blazed across the sky in broad daylight, crashing to the earth with an enormous explosion near the small Greek town of Aegospotami, or ‘Goat Rivers’, on the European side of the Hellespont in northeastern Greece. Pliny’s younger contemporary, the Greek biographer Plutarch, wrote that the locals still worshipped the scorched brownish metallic boulder, the s

A Meteor Impact May Have Caused a Giant Landslide in the Grand Canyon

gizmodo.com Margherita Bassi 2026-01-11 00:30:00

Researchers have long puzzled over the presence of driftwood and lake sediments in Stanton’s Cave in the eastern Grand Canyon, whose mouth sits 150 feet (45.7 meters) above the river. How could the material possibly have reached that height? According to Karl Karlstrom, a geologist from the University of New Mexico, it would have had to be carried by flood levels ten times bigger than any seen in the past several thousand years. An international team of researchers proposes a surprising chain o

Error handling in Rust

news.ycombinator.com Felix Knorr 2026-02-16 00:28:25

On Error Handling in Rust The current standard for error handling, when writing a crate, is to define one error enum per module, or one for the whole crate that covers all error cases that the module or crate can possibly produce, and each public function that returns a Result will use said error enum. This means, that a function will return an error enum, containing error variants that the function cannot even produce. If you match on this error enum, you will have to manually distinguish whi

Bzip2 crate switches from C to 100% Rust

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-03-09 19:06:54

Today we published bzip2 version 0.6.0 , which uses our rust implementation of the bzip2 algorithm, libbz2-rs-sys , by default. The bzip2 crate is now faster and easier to cross-compile. The libbz2-rs-sys crate can also be built as a C dynamic library, if you have a C project that would benefit from these improvements. Why though? Why bother working on this algorithm from the 90s that sees very little use today? The thing is that many protocols and libraries still need to support bzip2 to be

Astronomers Find Hidden Volcano on Mars

Mars’s marred surface consists of craters, canyons, and mysterious formations that hint at a complex geological past. Scientists recently studied a tantalizing feature that could shed light on the planet’s elusive history. A mountain perched on the rim of Mars’ Jezero Crater may actually be a volcano hiding in plain sight, according to a new study. This peak, called Jezero Mons, could offer new insight into the Red Planet’s geologic history and the potential for ancient Martian life, the resear
