Iron Age Society Centered on Women: Ancient Genomes Reveal a Matrilocal Past

Iron Age Society Centered on Women: Ancient Genomes Reveal a Matrilocal Past

An international team, led by Trinity College Dublin, has unearthed a fascinating glimpse into Britain's Iron Age through ancient DNA. Analysis of over 50 genomes from a Dorset burial site revealed a society structured around female lineage. The study indicates that husbands joined their wives' communities, with land potentially inherited through the maternal line, a system called matrilocality. This pattern wasn't unique to Dorset; similar findings in other Iron Age cemeteries across Britain suggest a widespread phenomenon, challenging traditional views of gender roles and highlighting the significant social and political influence of women in this era. The research published in Nature adds compelling genetic evidence to archaeological observations.

Building a Simple Object System from Scratch in Ruby

2024-12-15

This blog post details building a basic object system in Ruby without using classes. The author cleverly uses anonymous functions and hash tables to implement core OOP concepts like method lookup, prototypal inheritance, mixins, and metaprogramming. Starting with a constructor function, the post demonstrates simulating private variables and public interfaces, effectively recreating class-like behavior and inheritance. Through clear code examples, readers learn to create objects, define methods, implement inheritance and mixins, and even build a rudimentary `attr_accessor`-like metaprogramming feature. It's a practical guide to understanding object system fundamentals.

Apple Secretly Enables AI Photo Analysis, Sparking Privacy Concerns

Apple Secretly Enables AI Photo Analysis, Sparking Privacy Concerns

Apple silently enabled a feature called "Enhanced Visual Search" in iOS 18.1 and macOS 15.1, which analyzes photos for landmarks without explicit user consent. While Apple claims to use homomorphic encryption and differential privacy to protect user privacy, the lack of transparency and opt-in choice has sparked concern. Developers criticize Apple's lack of explanation and user notification, arguing the approach is even more intrusive than its abandoned CSAM scanning plan. Although no evidence suggests Apple violated its privacy statements, the lack of communication is the core of user discontent.

Framework Fatigue: Why Developers Are Angry About New Tech

The constant stream of new JavaScript frameworks—from Svelte to Solid to Qwik—has left developers exhausted. Each promises blazing speed and improved performance, yet developers find themselves in a perpetual cycle of learning, consuming precious time and energy. This has sparked heated debates, with some arguing that new frameworks reinvent the wheel, while others express fears about job security and the obsolescence of existing skills. The article suggests that developer anger towards new frameworks is a self-defense mechanism stemming from anxieties about future career prospects. Understanding this perspective can foster healthier industry evolution.

Bio-Inspired Adaptive Shading: Energy-Autonomous & Sustainable

2025-01-21

Researchers at the Universities of Stuttgart and Freiburg have developed a novel energy-autonomous building facade shading system, "Solar Gate," inspired by pine cones. Using bio-based cellulose materials and 4D printing, the system passively adjusts shading based on humidity and temperature changes, requiring no electricity. It closes in summer to minimize solar radiation and opens in winter to maximize sunlight for natural heating, offering a sustainable and efficient solution for climate control in buildings.

Redis UNLINK vs DEL: A Deep Dive into Internal Mechanics

Redis UNLINK vs DEL: A Deep Dive into Internal Mechanics

Both Redis' UNLINK and DEL commands remove keys, but their internal implementations differ. DEL synchronously deletes keys and frees memory, while UNLINK asynchronously queues the deletion for background processing. UNLINK's 'non-blocking' nature isn't absolute; it calculates the cost of deleting an object: if the cost is less than 64, it deletes synchronously; otherwise, asynchronously. The article delves into the Redis source code, explaining the implementation details of UNLINK and DEL, including key slot calculation, two-phase unlinking, and asynchronous deletion, and discusses the role of LAZYFREE_THRESHOLD.
