A Lisp adventure on the calm waters of the dead C I will use a C-like language throughout, with substantial liberties in its syntax, and I will try to answer "what if" and "how" questions regarding the implementation of some new features that actually cannot be implemented in C due to its limitations. I will examine and highlight those limitations. The scope of this exercise is to better understand Lisp and the power of the abstractions it offers over and above what most languages have, even th

Trump’s Cuts Threaten Nobel-Winning Observatory That Detected Colliding Black Holes

gizmodo.com Passant Rabie 2026-03-14 05:55:43

Nearly 10 years ago, scientists observed ripples in spacetime created by the collision of two black holes that took place 1.3 billion years ago. The first direct detection of gravitational waves opened up an entirely new way of seeing the universe, allowing us to observe a once invisible side of the cosmos. Today, the ability to track the frequencies produced by the most notable events that shape our surrounding cosmos is at risk due to drastic budget cuts targeting a breakthrough observatory.

“Bouncing” winds damaged Houston skyscrapers in 2024

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-11-10 00:32:08

On May 16, 2024, a powerful derecho swept through Houston, killing seven people and causing significant damage to several of the city's towering skyscrapers. Those buildings were constructed to withstand much stronger hurricane-force winds up to 67 meters per second, as one would get with a Category 4 hurricane. The derecho's winds peaked at 40 meters per second, well below that threshold. And when Hurricane Beryl hit Houston that July with roughly comparable wind speeds of 36 meters per second,
