Research=

OTOF-related deafness, a co=

RUBY ON RAILS: THE OPEN-SOURCE BLU=
EPRINT (7 MINUTE READ) [9]=20

Ruby on Rails has embraced open source pr=
inciples since its debut in
2004, giving developers freedom, flexibility,=
and a strong
community-driven direction. Rails thrived because anyone co=
uld
contribute, companies invested in it while keeping it free, and its=

modular design allowed endless customization. The project proved that
=
open source software can compete with and often surpass commercial
altern=
atives. This article looks at why Rails' choice of using the MIT

frameworks, and why=
Rails is so good for open source projects.=20

Researchers have developed a form of ge=
ne therapy that can successfully restore hearing in toddlers and young adul=
ts born with OTOF-related deafness, a condition caused by mutations in the =
OTOF gene. People with this condition have healthy hearing structures in th=
eir inner ear, but one crucial gene isn't working properly - fixing the fau=
lty gene restores hearing. The researchers used a virus as a delivery syste=
m to carry a working copy of the OTOF gene directly to the inner ear's hear=
ing cells, restoring hearing sometimes to near-normal levels.

Ruby on Rails has embraced open source =
principles since its debut in 2004, giving developers freedom, flexibility,=
and a strong community-driven direction. Rails thrived because anyone coul=
d contribute, companies invested in it while keeping it free, and its modul=
ar design allowed endless customization. The project proved that open sourc=
e software can compete with and often surpass commercial alternatives. This=
article looks at why Rails' choice of using the MIT License was revolution=
ary, how Rails inspired a generation of frameworks, and why Rails is so goo=
d for open source projects.

Microsoft plans to cut another 9,000 wo=
rkers, less than 4% of the tech giant's global workforce, in its latest rou=
nd of layoffs. The cuts to staff will span levels, geographies, tenure, and=
teams. Companies across many sectors have been reducing their workforces w=
hile looking to boost productivity. The increasing use of artificial intell=
igence may eliminate the need for certain roles.
