For me personally, that's sad and good news at the same time.
After school, I did a 3-year training in a company and basically learned all my programming skills from using WebObjects in enterprise applications. Somehow it felt ancient already back then (around 2007). But I learned to like it a lot. Nowadays there are much more modern and mostly streamlined web frameworks...in contrast to the huge bulk of components WebObjects brought with it.
Now, I wonder what my old company will do now. As far as I know, they're still using it.
I know FreeBSD (or *BSD in general) is still used heavily in server environments.
Is anyone using it on the desktop as well?
I always wanted to give it a try, but then I'm hesitant because of lacking hardware support. I remember struggling with Intel KMS support in one of the earlier releases. Is this still a problem?
This is the result what one would expect. Scientists (until recently) have only been able to sequence species which can be cultured in the laboratory (you need massive amounts of DNA for sequencing). But in fact, more than 90 percent of all microbial species cannot be cultured in the lab and hence (until recently) could not be sequenced and stayed unknown. However, in the past few years, "Next next generation sequencing" (that's how I like to call it) techniques emerged and we are now able to sequence nearly everything. The umbrella terms "metagenomics" and "single-cell sequencing" are often used for such new methods and have huuuge potential in many, many fields. Basically, the new methods eliminate the culturing step and instead have novel techniques for amplifying DNA from only a single strand.
