That distinctly smells like pork barrel politicking: we're moving jobs from Commiefornia to your great state, and if your criminal [1] state AG sues us again over this function, he'll be putting Texans out a job.

To her point, she's 63. We have no idea what she's seen in her life, what sacrifices she's had to make to get where she is today, or anything. What I see is that she is doing more about it now than most of us in this thread, and it might pay to look past her "poor physical condition" to see what she is conveying.
Can't see the article but I imagine a big part of it is a combo of clubs continually being booted to new locations in cities to the point you kind of have to get tickets in advance for one place or run the risk of going there, being turned away and having absolutely nothing else to do in the area. To battle this there's loads of venues that seem to almost exclusively do shows that end near midnight and I've never been to one that wasn't completely devoid of atmosphere (hard to enjoy the music when the people next to you are talking at length about some work deadline they have).

I hesitate to write a lot of things off to COVID because, if you look at some presentations/papers from early on in the pandemic, a lot of things probably changed less than the "experts" thought they would. That said, I also see various things that were on a downward trajectory or cruising on momentum being given a downward shove by COVID.

That’s not true—these scenarios absolutely apply to casual users, like students or hobbyists who do things like video editing or photo editing. Students, for example, often need Windows-specific software for schoolwork.

Even if we ignore Windows-specific software entirely, there are still other pain points: DRM support, HDR support, certain drivers, and even the variety of package managers and ways to install things. You know what I mean—these things are nothing special for us, but for someone who’s just casually gaming or doing some creative hobbies, being forced to use the terminal to, for example, update Nvidia drivers or find a workaround to get an unsupported game launcher to work, can be a total dealbreaker

Even something as basic as swapping out PC hardware as a gamer isn’t as seamless on Linux as it is on Windows. That’s a lot of friction for someone who just wants things to “work”. And you know I’m right because if I would be wrong with all these points, we already would have a year of Linux desktops … as it’s being said every year.

You underestimate how most people just value ease of use, familiarity and don’t care about freedom and control over a system. Most don’t want to spend their time tweaking or figuring out why something doesn’t work and that’s totally fine.
>I counter that if this were the case there would be no need for single-family zoning, because people would naturally choose such housing whenever possible, and the market would respond.

This mistakes the price one person can pay for a piece of land with the price many people can pay to to use the same land. A single family home does rent for more money than a condo if they are on the same block in the city.

In China, the local government gets income from leasing new construction land for 99 years, hence the incentive to build.

In the US, the largest amount of government land is held by the Feds and they keep increasing the limits on what the land can be used for year after year. Figure out how to make new home building key to government finances like in China and you will INSTANTLY have the problem solved and even have over supply.
This article doesn’t tell us about potential selection bias issues or confounding variables.

For instance, do people who don’t drink any coffee tend to be people who have been advised not to by their doctors due to cardiovascular disease? That might account for their higher mortality than morning coffee drinkers.

Similarly, are afternoon/evening coffee drinkers more likely to drink coffee late because they have to stay up late or work the graveyard shift — which has been associated with higher disease and mortality for other reasons?

These days the smartphone is the (very) Personal Computer for a lot of people.

Remember how Android is technically Linux ?

The risk here is for SteamOS to go the Android way...

but I have more faith in today's Valve than in Google of a ~decade ago.

At least for now, while Valve is still a private company and Gabe Newell is still leading it and still seems to be in good health and sound mind.

Sadly, this will probably only last for a couple of decades at best, but hopefully this is all the time that Linux (and libre software in general) needs.

As an American with a Texas area code, I noticed a wave of Chinese-language† spam - I recall reading that it was some sort of scam involving threats of deportation, maybe? But it settled down after a few weeks. Maybe their targeting got better, or maybe enough word got around the Chinese-speaking community to make the scam unprofitable.

> a "tragicomic" tendency to forget mankind's unstoppable progress

When it comes to compute, it's no faster than Moore's Law, which means roughly one bit of symmetric encryption every two years.

> and we've been heading down this path for decades at an exponentially increasing pace.

Given that the encryption security is itself exponential in bit length, we are in fact heading down this path linearly! (A doubling in compute power means the ability to crack twice as hard cryptosystems, which means ones that have 1 bit more of security).

Key must be extended over time, and they are, and have been for decades. A PoC of an attack of a security system broken since 1999 should be treated exactly like how we are amazed at little computing power was available to the Apollo program: this is a cool bit of trivia that shows the growth of available computing power, but not a display of any kind of security issue.
In the before times, I ran the engineering side of WhatsApp's special pricing / zero rating program. Things may have changed a bit since then, and there's some stuff I heard about but never got the details on. A couple notes:

a) Several carriers offered programs without connecting up with us. AFAIK, that's the case for the airline free messaging programs. I've never been sufficiently motivated to do packet traces while in an airplane, but it could be interesting to try to figure out what they're doing.

b) there is (or was) support from WA for carriers to do special pricing for messaging (including multimedia) separate from real time (voice/video calls). When I was doing this, this was primarily done by having different address pools for messaging and voip relay servers. p2p voip makes it harder to special price and I don't know how that's handled (but in this case --- the carrier seems to be only allowing traffic for messaging, so p2p voip doesn't need to be specifically matched)

c) it's not that hard to look at a packet trace and see what's what anyway. chat isn't TLS, multimedia is, calling is different too. Even if everything looked like TLS, packet spacing and sizes will make the usage clear. Chat is going to be a lot fewer packets, many of them small, and irregularly spaced. Multimedia is going to be an initial clump of packets and then ack clocked; mostly full sized packets. You can't really change the nature of calling packets to look like one of the others without compromising quality of the call.

d) I personally really enjoyed seeing advertisements for WhatsApp Twitter Facebook plans, but corporate wasn't as happy about carriers advertising WTF plans ;)

Electronic underground is still well and alive. Sure there is lots of mainstream electronica now but if you look a bit you’ll find tons of new fresh stuff.

Sure you can organise raves in illegal locations but a club can still be about the music and can be a more sustainable “home” for the music.

Sure it’s a lot more expensive but then again everything is - the clubs just need to survive somehow.

> I'm good I think I'll just stay home and jerk off

Exactly. There's a fine line between convenience and the cost of doing it yourself, like getting a decent smash burger or firing half of the devops team.

The most ridiculous thing is having venues trying to casually extort you at every possible opportunity, without the implicit advantage of a few very subtle but 'approved' dealers lurking around while making sure everybody is having a safe but very fun time.

I mean, the "fat is bad" thing isn't completely wrong: it is definitely possible to overdo it. It's extremely calorically dense, and most fats are bad for us in other ways.

But society didn't replace some of the fat with increased intake of vegetables and lean meats.

Food manufacturers compensated for less fat with more sugars and salt, which we've been finding are even worse.

As a Gen Z who was a shut in long before COVID, I disagree. I knew plenty of people who loved going out before, during, and after lockdown. I'd guess only a fraction of people who liked going out before found the joy of staying home. But likewise I'm sure there were some who found it miserable at home and after lockdown vowed to be more outgoing.
By their definition, an amplitude envelope would probably also be a transformation.
As someone who has taken raw land with no utilities to a full house all with my own engineering and construction labor this is only half the story.

To build a starter home I not only had to go to bumfuck Egypt with the most libertarian zoning anywhere near jobs I can find, i also had to rule out the 9/10 of properties with practically irrevocable covenants made by self righteous boomers back in the 80s who already built their pig farm shithole and don't want their precious livestock living near anything but a mansion.

Then I had to find a rare loophole around code compliance and inspections so I could DIY it on weekends and not be subject to weekday inspections. Most codes want stuff like an expensive egress window even though no one living in the house is bigger than a much smaller sliding window, and it goes on infinitum.

Then I had to find a place they hadn't outlawed water yet through a grandfathered well, and finally get buddy enough with the power company to actually get them to run power without royally fucking me with arbitrary requirements. Almost the entire system is designed around grandfathered protectionism while kicking the next generation in the teeth with entirely different and constrained rules voted on by people who who live in places that don't even conform to the requirements imposed on you, which of course gives them a free artificial value boost as well.
They are certainly more than meets the eye.

Is there a super simple tool for turning statically served websites into PWAs?

Last time I looked all of the simple tools had been deprecated in favour of complex tools that do way more than I need.

If I had a site in a directory that works fine from

>cd MyWebApp
>python3 -m http.server

I would like a command line tool That worked like

>becomepwa MyWebApp

Which produced a PWA that downloaded everything on install and could be run henceforth offline.

I thought this would be a common use case, but I failed to find anything that supported it without intruding on my workflow.
The NIC that has matters, in addition to the very large memory that supports much larger models than a consumer GPU. This thing has a proper ConnectX NIC.

A 1960s reactor design is still not a valid comparison. In all empathy, I feel sorry this happened in your area; I wish that on nobody, and I understand how hard it is to have to pick up the pieces.

However, it is not just to the rest of the world to put red tape in front of modern designs because of what happened to a 1960s design. Modern designs need to be evaluated on their own merits.

We haven't banned modern cars because of the death traps of the 1960s; instead we iterated upon the designs even though many people experienced personal loss due to unsafe car designs. In fact, more people will die in a car accident this year 2025 than the totality of nuclear deaths from the time we began using nuclear power for power generation, with zero deaths from radiation or sickness at Fukushima.
