Astronomers have released the most comprehensive map of the cosmos to date, confirming that the distribution of matter in the universe is less clumpy than predicted by standard cosmological theory, according to Nature News. Meanwhile, in the tech world, Pangolin is seeking engineers to develop its open-source, identity-aware remote access platform, and a new Flutter application called "Track Your Routine (TYR)" is under development to help users manage daily tasks. Additionally, corrections were issued for two Nature articles concerning paleontology discoveries from the Cretaceous period in Mongolia.
The galaxy survey, which observed approximately 150 million galaxies visible in Earth's southern sky, revealed discrepancies between observed matter distribution and theoretical models, according to Nature News. The Dark Energy Survey Collaboration was responsible for assembling the ambitious cosmic map.
Pangolin, as stated on Hacker News, is looking for talented engineers passionate about open-source software, networking, and security to join their team. Pangolin's platform aims to replace legacy VPNs and simplify secure access to infrastructure, applications, and developer environments. The company emphasizes building in the open and self-hosting by default, allowing teams to retain control over data and infrastructure. Open roles include full-stack software engineers.
Also on Hacker News, details emerged about "Track Your Routine (TYR)," a Flutter application designed to help users manage their daily routines and tasks efficiently. The application, developed by MSF01 and available on GitHub, provides a seamless experience for creating, organizing, and tracking tasks with intelligent notification reminders. TYR utilizes Firebase for authentication and data storage, ensuring tasks are securely synced across all devices. The application is currently under development, with new features and enhancements actively being added.
Nature News also issued publisher corrections for two paleontology articles. One correction concerned an article titled "A domed pachycephalosaur from the early Cretaceous of Mongolia," originally published on September 17, 2025. The copyright line was amended to credit the North Carolina Department of Natural and Cultural Resources and the Authors, under exclusive license to Springer Nature Limited. Authors of the article included Tsogtbaatar Chinzorig, Lindsay E. Zanno, Batsaikhan Buyantegsh, Buuvei Mainbayar, and Khishigjav Tsogtb. The other correction addressed an article titled "Nanotyrannus and Tyrannosaurus coexisted at the close of the Cretaceous," initially published on October 30, 2025. The copyright line was amended to credit the North Carolina Department of Natural and Cultural Resources and James Napoli, under exclusive license to Springer Nature Limited. Lindsay E. Zanno and James G. Napoli contributed equally to the article. Both articles are related to discoveries made in Mongolia.
