Ozone hole finally closed on December 1 — Experts know "it will reopen soon" but there's reason for hope

eldiario24.com · Dec 13

The ozone hole closed on December 1, and although experts warn it will reopen soon, emerging data offers real hope for long-term healing of Earth’s atmosphere.

The hole in the ozone layer closed on December 1

The ozone layer is a layer of the atmosphere that protects us from UV light. Years ago, it was noticed that chlorofluorocarbons in aerosol sprays were aiding in the depletion of the ozone layer, and a hole was detected in this protective layer. After years of regulation and work, the hole is closed.

Frances Elizabeth Allen: The Woman Who Made Code Run Fast – and Was Forgotten
----
- an hour ago | 9 points | 2 comments
- URL: voxmeditantis.com/2025/12/13/f
- Discussions: news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4
- Summary: Frances “Fran” Allen (1932-2020) spent 45 years at IBM, creating the mathematical foundations of modern compiler optimisation. She pioneered control-flow and program-dependence graphs that let compilers automatically speed up, parallelise and shrink code while proving correctness. Her 1972 “Catalogue of Optimising Transformations” still underlies today’s LLVM and GCC. Leading gender-balanced teams in the 1970-80s, she mentored women like Anita Borg and proved infrastructure work—though invisible—determines what computing can achieve. Because her advances became ubiquitous, her name faded; she remained unknown to most programmers even after receiving the 2006 Turing Award, first ever given to a woman. She argued that recognising and funding deep, long-horizon infrastructure research is essential for energy-efficient, parallel and trustworthy software. Her story is a call to value the hidden layers on which all visible technology rests.
