It's almost like weather information in emergencies is transmitted over AM...

That said this is stupid. A car is not emergency equipment. You should have an emergency plan that involves a situation where your car is in accessible and an emergency kit with a hand cranked AM radio in it, ESPECIALLY if you live in places with blizzards, floods and tornadoes.

No you don't. Your car is not a part of an emergency kit. You should have an emergency kit at home which includes a hand cranked AM radio. Forcing this into a car is stupid, cars are quickly abandoned in actual emergencies where frequently moving on foot is required and causes people to be disconnected from communication.

Don't trust me on this. There's whole departments dedicated to educating you, e.g. FEMA, and no their advice is not based on some DOGE bro cuts.

That's because you've been boiled like a frog. If you actually used a Teams version from 2019 and then suddenly switched to a version from today you'll find it is a HUGE improvement, especially around the usability, "multi-tasking", and conversation management.

It used to be shit, it has improved to a 2 Michelin Star rated shit.

I think very few people except for true language experts have the ability of stating any kind of preference on this matter, which is sort of the point.

I mean no disrespect to your efforts, but you are right. Latin is a language used for teaching of basic structure of it's modern successors. People learn it and yet no one actually uses it for anything new. C like Latin should really remain an academic curiosity in the modern world unless you're working on a system anchored with a long history and have the brightest language experts dealing with it (like the Linux kernel).

So DoD like I said? Precisely the security over usability justification you just mentioned. The issue is if you don't end up with a user base a project often becomes stale and defunct. I hope this doesn't happen.

Also we have multiple rendering engines already. I don't see one not supporting basic functionality such as JIT compiling (which is largely credited for actually making the internet usable with the modern functions we expect) as a feature; users will consider this a bug leading to poor performance and not adopt or contribute to a project.

It's not a question of starting, my question was "what is driving the need?"

While it's good to see a browser work, it's a shame that the code base seems to be focused on something designed to be as portable as possible rather than functional. Any idiot can cobble together 2 lines of code which actually do support proper UI scaling, but right now they've released something non-functional. I'm not questioning bugs here, I'm questioning their approach.

It's not just NDA. In some cases it's not actually possible to do it at all without the aid of completely inaccessible binary blob software. Memory timing on current gen AMD systems isn't done by UEFI, it's handled by the Platform Security Processor which runs an AGESA binary blob which then hands the result back to the UEFI, meaning it's literally not possible to boot up AMD's current gen chip without relying on some closed source proprietary blob at some point.

AMD has promised to address this going forward with openSIL, but that is still in an experimental phase of development. But at least it's opensource. Though how long that lasts remains to be seen (AGESA was originally born as an open source contribution to coreboot over a decade ago before AMD decided to close itself away again.

Oh good, the software is done. No need for any further funds to continue development. Close up shop boys we're going home /s.

On the surface of it stuff like that seems nefarious, but in reality very few of these conspiracies stand up to scrutiny. Mainly because the thing one is a statistics of is also included in other statistics so it's trivial to see the co-contribution of such a renaming in official figures, and yet it never actually appears.

It's like the people who complain that unemployment is being played with because they stopped counting people who gave up looking for work, except there has always been 6 different measures and they've always been defined and measured the same way.

Reclassifying crimes is easy to spot, you can't just hide a crime in some other statistic.

But while the first part of your post is correct, the title of it is just plain fucking stupid. ICE / National Guard have zero to do with these crimes and don't do any enforcement of them. The reality is for nearly a decade there's been a steady increase in normal police focus on these crimes, and this has very much lead to an increase in the chance of getting caught which *may* influence the crime rate.

What's the use case for this unless you work for the DoD? Even before we talk about horrendous javascript performance (though surprisingly good Acid scores), where it shows Google maps running at around a frame every 2 seconds when moving around the map, the UI doesn't scale so I literally can't read any text on a 4K monitor. I can't even really make out the symbols they used on the buttons.

I don't know why this is so hard to understand for some people. The wave in Linux numbers is hugely driven by the overwhelming success of the Steam Deck. The usage seems to skyrocket during holiday season precisely because that's a) when people have time, and b) when people travel.

Signed:
Someone who didn't use their own Steam Deck in September, not even once, because he didn't travel anywhere and prefers to play on his PC / PS5 instead. But man I put a lot of hours on it in August while jet setting around the world. Nothing quite like going diving in Indonesia, and then spending a 2 hour surface interval playing Dave the Diver on the Steam Deck :-)

Honestly most Americans would be healthier walking to their letterbox instead of driving to the end of their driveway. I don't think a tiny barely significant change in health is at all relevant for anything other than your desire to push you own personal preference.

Fuck mornings. Let them be dark so I can spend more time enjoying a beer in the afternoon (did the study consider liver damage?)

Everything is always unpopular after it passes. Also mornings are always unpleasant. The question is, do you accept that unpleasantness as a trade-off the mind-blowingly brilliant increase in pleasure that is being able to get home from work and enjoy more a sunny day?

Seriously fuck mornings, whether the sun is up or not. I'd trade every second of sun before work for extra sun after in a heartbeat. I can't sit in outside and enjoy a nice beer before work. My employer does random alcohol testing.

It's not parents. It's society. Schools is just one element of it, but everything we do is somehow interlinked and tied together with common understandings of what constitutes "business hours". The shift is far more difficult than any one subset of people adjusting their schedule, which is why this stuff is fundamentally dealt with at the clock level in the first place.

But one thing is clear: This is *NOT* a problem for a state level. There's nothing worse than dividing clocks further in a country. Yes the timezone may not be ideal for everyone, but there's real benefit into having the largest group of people on a consistent time, especially if you're on a border city.

Fun anecdote 1: It's really fun driving down Tweed Heads in Australia and watching one half of the street suddenly be open while the other isn't because as you cross the road to go from the hairdresser to the cafe you change timezone.

Fun anecdote 2: I found out I lost my job on the news because my brilliant employer released an embargoed press release that was due to be lifted at 10am to coincide with a plant wide meeting taking place at 10am. But they forgot to mention to the media head offices (based in NSW/Victoria) that they were talking about 10am AEST. So at 10am AEDT (9am AEST) I learned that they were closing our plant while drinking a coffee in front of the TV showing breaking news.
