Can someone actually describe what you would have to do? Literally nobody here gave any practical advice like, “you’re going to have to self-sign your certificates” or whatever. If you did this on prem obviously there’s a lot of networking techniques that you must use to just set up a bare bones server without updating dependencies.
Some places do. Not gov. level, and probably not in the US, but your hunch has been followed-up in some european and asian towns where they’ll organize matching pools of local singles. It’s beneficial to everyone: the town keeps their working age tax payers, willing to build a family there, and the people get to find partners with high chance they share many values alredy.
For me, the biggest reason to continue PC gaming (aside from the sheer breadth of titles and generally better visuals) is that, sure, the GPU alone cost me $700 and the whole thing cost as much as 3 consoles...

...but I already needed a computer. My desktop PC is my workhorse and still performs better than any laptop at a similar price point. I just look at that $700 GPU as a $500 upgrade to a more basic option - similar to a PC without a nice GPU plus a dedicated game box.

Doesn't hurt that I can also make use of it in photo/video/animation/etc applications as well as in games.

Still, I imagine that if you don't do anything that can't be done on an $800-900 laptop, it might just be simpler to buy that and an Xbox.
> Well, no.

> The free option is to install AltStore...

I'm confused. You've just re-stated what you already said. When I said "only option", I was referring to the fact that the only way to run my own code without spending $100/year is to jump through hoops that still result in scenarios where I can't travel without bringing my dev laptop with me (which is generally not the computer I travel with).

> If you travel for work, I imagine your laptop goes with you.

And if you're writing iOS/iPadOS code on a work laptop, presumably you've got a developer certificate.

But again, this misses the point.

That point being that I, as a tinkerer, cannot run my own code on my own device without bringing an App Store Server with me or spending $100/year.

Yes, that's Apple's policy and that's well known.

Doesn't mean anyone I have to like it or find it acceptable.
Pretty bored with the resolution / FPS race. Path tracing was a huge leap, but I'd rather see artists / render tech to fully exploit image quality at 1080p than 4k. I waiting for AI's to start hallucinating game graphics to to look as good as a DVD or even VHS.

> Steam Deck is just a computer. You're still gaming on a PC.

Just like a console is a computer, just with a different OS and form factor.
Yes, clearly. I just was amused that that dipshit of all people was your go to example.

That sort of thing in a totally unrelated sort of comment tends to be a huge dogwhistle.

But I clearly just want you to “discriminate” against the wealthy middle aged male white asshole. (Disclosure, I’m a middle class middle aged white male asshole)
The gaming market won't develop for the 4090. However, they will use the 4090 as an approximation of the performance of a 5080, 6070 and 7060 and will eventually target the 7060.
> There's actually a saying in the gay community for the latter, "Bi now, gay later!"

I think by gay community you meant asshole gay people, I've been waiting for a very long while now to turn gay (I'm a bisexual dude).

> I don't see how the bisexual statistic is politically incorrect.

Not politically incorrect, just deeply ignorant.
incel was coined in 1997. also the ideology was common well before it hit the mainstream, it just didnt have an official name. any guy in the forums in the early 2k can tell you this people were already there.
The motivation is what matters for the folks calling it Orwellian.

If someone is deleting their posts because the facts don't align to the worldview of a religion, a political party, a corporation or some other powerful group, many people will be more concerned about that than if the posts had been deleted for more routine, functional business reasons.
> The 4090 clocks in at an incredible 80tflops. [...] Now compare that to a Nintendo Switch at about 1tflop if we are being generous.

Is it 80x as fun to play games on the 4090 than the switch? Or 5.5x as fun, if we go by price?
I once googled the screen name of a Plenty of Fish date I had setup. Exact match comes up on a 'weird' forum, with city and state matching in the info under the username.

The the ratio of area A to volume V for a sphere of radius R is 3/R. The larger the sphere, the less surface area to volume. A corollary of this is that a sufficiently large thermal tank has little in the way of heat loss to its surroundings in relation to its heat capacity.

At large enough scale, it's probably the most efficient way to store energy for general heating purposes. Simple water has significant thermal capacity. 1 tonne (roughly 1 kilolitre, 1000 litres) of water at 80 °C holds ~50 kWh of useful heat relative to normal indoor temperatures. Enough to heat a Canadian home overnight on a bad winter day and then some. 1 tonne of water isn't really that big; a typical car's interior volume would hold several tonnes of water. Home hot water storage, for heating over several days or a week, is quite viable with a large basement tank, and commercially available. Used with intermittent heat sources, and sometimes to save money when heat costs more at different times, like with electric time of use.

A standard Olympic swimming pool holds several thousand tonnes, the largest indoor swimming pools tens of thousands of tonnes. 20,000 tonnes of water at 80 °C = about 1 gigawatt-hour of usable energy storage. Assuming no losses, That could heat many dozens of typical Canadian suburban homes all winter. What about bigger? Some lakes are so large their thermal capacity causes their temperature to significantly lag behind the seasonal changes, moderating the local climate. The largest fully artificial reservoirs are measured in cubic kilometres. That's billions of tonnes. 1 cubic kilometre of hot water would have 30 terawatt-hours or so. That's in the range of the yearly energy consumption of small cities. And at that scale, even a lightly insulated tank would lose an insignificant fraction of its heat, even over a timescale of months.

Getting into less conventional territory, with much higher temperatures (perhaps a molten metal instead of water) and some real big tankers, it might be feasible to literally ship heat. This rarely made sense in the past except in some edge cases like using industrial waste heat. Fossil fuels were almost always the source of the heat to begin with. Just ship the fossil fuels. Far more energy dense and no conversion losses. But the economics are changing.

(As an aside, the effect of the ratio of area to volume is just not intuitive to me, for some reason. But it's a very powerful scaling force in nature. It is why a bucket of water takes days to evaporate while tiny droplets of mist take seconds. Area for evaporation relative to volume. It even limits the maximum size of a terrestrial animal. Elephants push that limit. About a kilowatt just for base metabolism. In a thickly-walled airtight tank. A really big tank. They'd cook from the inside out without active cooling in a matter of hours. Their hearts are heat pumps and their ears are radiators.)

What makes steel awesome is that the properties can be tuned across a wide range.

Sure, cheap structural steel has a tensile strength of about 0.4 to 0.5 GPa and the most common types (i.e. cheapest) of "high strength" steel can reach 0.8 GPa.

But... some specialty steels can reach well over 2+ GPa. The steel for some cables have tensile strengths of 2.0 GPa, maraging steel for can reach 2.7 GPa.

There's a good reason steel is still so widely used. It's awesome!

Hexagonal boron nitride (this is very similar to graphite, but is not electrically conductive) in a binder of (I think) boron oxide. The latter melts at 450 C, which isn't very high. The new thing here apparently is a process for aligning the particles of BN so the material has high thermal conductivity.
Nuclear power is not strictly for electricity generation, trials were made outside Stockholm with the ~50MW Ågesta power plant to use nuclear for district heating. It was supposed to be the first of many but for political reasons they stopped this project. A decision I obviously disagree with.

I did not argue that nuclear power should be used only for electricity.

The best bet is to get a job with a university and get a home page there. They're the most likely to still be hosting that homepage in 30 years, and the most likely to do migrations to new hardware while keeping the home directories.

Any commercial provider has a risk of going out of business. If you must go with a commercial provider, AWS is probably your best bet, as they are the most likely to still be around in 30 years and still able to run whatever you've set up, since they almost never deprecate a product. And connect it with a credit card that can update it's expiration date automatically and hope to stay in the free tier.

And of course use web technologies that are already at least 10 years old so they have the highest likelihood of longevity in the standards.
As someone with a photosensitivity disorder, anything shorter than 405 nm spells trouble for me. This is kind of a nightmare scenario really.
I think it depends when in the cycle you buy. Yes if you buy at the same time the new console generation comes out, the console is probably going to be cheaper (if it's even available) due to economies of scale, and the fact that they may loss-lead since they make margins on game licensing.

But console generations are long, and after a couple years, even low end PC components will catch up and exceed console performance.

The PC component industry honestly does a great job of selling people things they largely don't need. Games mostly have to work on console, so it doesn't generally make a huge difference to have a GPU for instance which is 5-10x as powerful as the consoles, since the games are optimized for the consoles anyway.

Yes you can go for high resolution or high frame-rates, but how much would you really miss it if you didn't have it?

Yep essentially that is my thinking! AI/ML just hyper-charges the ability of capital to produce with an ever shrinking amount of required labor. And in our free-market with no guard rails every uptick in unemployment leads to more misery.
Maybe true, but I'm not looking for solutions to those things. Neither Democrats nor Republicans have solved them. California still has all the same issues. I specifically don't want to be treated as a racist in training by taking a million anti discrimination classes or be insulted by a class telling me to "sit in my shame". In addition I don't want schools to have the power to treat kids as different genders and not alert the parents. Nor do I want teachers to be able to promote transgenderism or homosexuality as a viable option for kids. If the child is gay or transgender on their own, so be it. School should not be the realm to promote it or suggest it.

A $700 GPU needs expensive fussy cooling too, and it's hard to get peak performance from it, and it really doesn't add much value to the gameplay.

95.75% is pretty close to solid for SameSite. Those same 4.25% of users who don't support same site are using IE6-10 (.15%), Firefox <2018 (.44%), Chrome <2016 (.35%). The amount of vulnerabilities in those browsers are huge and likely just are leaking cookies anyway through known issues that have since been patched. I'm not spending any time working bugs on IE 6-10 just to get to 100%.
Some of the sibling answers focus on the data format -- e.g. plain HTML etc.

But I believe you're actually asking about durable institutions of people without realizing it:

>(i.e. a website that will stay up for 30 years after the author passes away)

Having a server stay up for 30 years is about hardware constantly staying on with electricity and ongoing maintenance (e.g. replace dying harddrives). This also means domain name registrations being renewed ... which is another people process. Many domains registrars only offer max 10-year limits. Some have 45-year terms but such long timelines kicks the question back to people because you have to trust the registrar to be still be around and not go bankrupt.

Consider your example of "http://info.cern.ch/" -- That's the CERN institution with people & money to maintain the computers to serve those old webpages.

To eliminate most of the "people problem"... you can re-frame the problem to be, "How to make the data between <HTML></HTML> as durable as possible without domain registrars and specific computers?"

This means looking at things like embedding the data into IPFS, Bitcoin blockchain, or have it copied by archive.is or The Wayback Machine. This converts your problem from a "institution issue" into more of a "crowdsourced viral data replication issue".
> Their silly data analysis had a sample that was probably orders of magnitude larger than any cohort an university paper could dream of getting their hands on

and yet their sample was incredibly biased despite it being large. A big set of data still churns out bad results.

Most of their blog posts did not show the data, how they normalised it, percentage of each group. They just run regression on it and anything with p<00.5 that seemed fun was published. Which was fun, but its not good science, its hardly science at all.

There is a reason why blog posts and published results have different standards (and also why most sociological/psychological results are impossible to reproduce having one of the largest reproduction crisis of any science)
Someone - let alone a private corporation - telling you where you are allowed to live, what you are allowed to eat, and what you will do with your labor every day - is not comparable to living as a free man even if you still need to work to pay rent. It is just not remotely comparable. Then you get into US incarceration's history being tangled up with slavery and it looks even worse.
Most people are still not aware of the extent of the corruption of clinical research, and the manipulation of statistical data by “health authorities.” This article clearly lays it all out and is probably the most important article written this year:

What I'm waiting for is when these imagined conversations are generated for an audience of just me. When references I understand and abstractions I'm familiar with are tossed around with ease, but unfamiliar concepts are expanded on and picked apart, as you might with a good friend.

If the speakers are brilliant I often don't want to actively be part of a conversation, I just want a personal performance. Though I imagine in 10 years, with a tricorder on my face (brain sensor included), I'll probably always be part of the conversation/performance, however passive.

>"I’m bisexual.” REALITY: 80% of self-identified bisexuals are only interested in one gender.

>People who describe themselves as bisexual overwhelmingly message either one sex or the other, not both as you might expect.

Yes, I remember this. It was sad to see such basic logic errors from OKC. It seems a little like saying that heterosexuality is a myth because all "heterosexual" people prefer some bodies over others. Bisexual means you are attracted to both masculine and feminine people. It does not imply a 50 / 50 split, or that you want to date everyone equally. The Match.com Orwellian activity aside - that critique was always very odd.
Not sure it helps now, but I believe there's a (buried) setting to keep a game from updating in steam. Of course the vestigial Origin launcher may not really respect it. And you can force a specific proton version.

I actually kind of loath constantly updating single player games. It usually breaks my working install.
It's dishonest though, it should be clear that you get downgraded over time as well, and not just marketed as a "boost".

Public funding for healthcare, including mental health and rehab, would be a good start. Where do these people go even if they want help for their issues? Therapy and rehab cost tens of thousands of dollars. And throwing them in prison is just an “out of sight, out of mind” solution. Good luck getting a job and straightening your life out with prison time on your record.

You shouldn’t criminalize homelessness unless you’re also offering an alternative that actually helps people. But America will never do that, instead we just punch down and make an example out of the lowest among us instead of trying large scale solutions. There are localized nonprofits to help with this sort of thing, but they’re underfunded and limited in scope.
I grew up in the Bay Area. It's always been about mental health and housing from my perspective. Pushing symptoms like "drug use" out of public view has nothing to do with solving the causes like "economic precarity", "systematic discrimination", and "lack of affordable housing".
> That's why I don't understand your point "it was easier dropping down to effectively zero" - easier for what/who?

The "for who" was "for me". The "for what" is what I said: any amount leaves me a bit groggy or sleepy afterwards. My theory is that because I rarely drink, it's a mild system shock each time I do. Maybe that's not it, and my body simply doesn't handle alcohol. At any rate, the tradeoff of that great wine with my steak making me want to take a nap the next two hours, I decided it wasn't worth it.
Wayland is starting to be enjoyable for me, but the road leading here has been extremely painful and paved by top-down mistakes that have slowly yielded us a usable protocol.

I like 1:1 trackpad gestures and V-Sync, but was it worth breaking screen recording, GUI libraries, RDP and hundreds of desktop environments? It's hard to say, but the fact that it took us 10 years to get halfway there causes me concern.
Lol.

Luckily no floppies. But the Japanese are obsessed with over utilizing spreadsheets and want to create ones with VBA scripts for inter office use that require multiple users to utilize at once and they share them out via google drive. And their macros and scripts have hard coded pathing (don’t get me started) so they are hunting for the same drive letter path.

It took me a week to convince them what was happening when they first tried doing some of this. Beyond the hard coded paths they also had inline kanji and it was breaking everything on our American systems. Like excel would detect a broken and just delete the vba bin from the xlsx. It was kind of funny.

I think it could only work if their charges didn't follow them out into the real world and they made meaningful wages with the company who contracts through the prison willing to go to bat for them when they are released. The reality is, these people go to prison to be "rehabilitated." They provide a cheap labor stream. Then when their time is up, they come back to the real world and either have a difficult time being hired or no one will hire them because of their record, so they end up doing crime because, brother has to eat to live, then they wind back up in prison as a cheap labor source. The wages paid are meaningless, so there is not a real way to save up a nest egg for when they get out and on their feet.

The best thing that recently has happened in this regard is California saying they will consider people who did fire fighting during their jail time will get real consideration to work for Calfire if they apply for openings. Which is awesome since these people already have some basic experience and training.

It is crazy what we allow prisoners do and then they can't get hired for it. My father in law for awhile during his one of his prison sentences worked with EMTs, but yet on release, has no pathway to employ the skills he learned.
