"We are all capable of the change we seek, and we must not let the distractions of unyielding thoughts—'I can’t, I shouldn’t, or someone else will do it'—lead us into a place of complacency."

Evaluating BBRv2 on the Dropbox Edge Network
Nowadays, loss-based TCP congestion controls in general and CUBIC specifically became the de facto standard for the Internet. BBR congestion control challenges the loss-based approach by modeling the network based on estimated bandwidth and round-trip time. At Dropbox, we've been using BBRv1 since 2017 and are accustomed to its pros and cons. BBRv2 introduces a set of improvements to network modeling (explicit loss targets and inflight limits) and fairness (differential probing and headroom for…

Everything here is built for one type of weather.
And most of the time it works.
But when it doesn’t, it really doesn’t work.
L.A. has spent over a century advertising its perfect Mediterranean climate.
Now increasingly frequent severe weather events are triggering citywide soul-searching about who deserves protection,
what neighborhoods get resources,
which elected officials are to blame,
and whether the promise of this place still holds.
So…

Climate Change Is Killing the Myth of Los Angeles
For over a century, the city has drawn people with the promise of perfect weather. Now floods and fires threaten its very survival.

Magnetic fields can change carbon diffusion in steel.

The magnetic secret inside steel finally explained
For years, scientists noticed that magnetic fields could improve steel, but no one knew exactly why. New simulations reveal that magnetism changes how iron atoms behave, making it harder for carbon atoms to slip through the metal. This slows diffusion at the atomic level and alters steel’s internal structure. The insight could lead to more efficient, lower-energy ways to make stronger steel.
