Austin’s Surge of New Housing Construction Drove Down Rents
After decades of explosive growth, Austin, Texas, in the 2010s was a victim of its own success. Lured by high-tech jobs and the city’s hip reputation, too many people were competing for too few homes....

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.
Screenshot of an X.com post by The Associated Press (@AP) stating that dozens of immigrant families protested for better treatment behind fences at a Texas detention facility, where a 5-year-old Ecuadorian boy and his father were sent after being detained in Minnesota. Below is a video thumbnail showing a crowd gathered outdoors along a fenced walkway; many people wear bright blue or red outerwear, and some hold signs.

Can you guess the source of this blue hedgehog? Clue: It's from 1987 but the first Sonic the Hedgehog game came out in 1991.

The controversy over daylight saving time: evidence for and against

Michael C Antle. Curr Opin Pulm Med. 2023.

Abstract

Purpose of review: Biannual clock changes to and from daylight saving time have been pervasive in many societies for over 50 years. Governments are considering abandoning this practice and choosing a single permanent time.

Recent findings: Our endogenous circadian clock follows our photoperiod, which changes over the year. The acute disruption caused by changing our clocks can affect safety (motor vehicle and on the job accidents), health (cardiovascular disease, drug overdoses, suicide), and human behavior (sport performance, generosity, and procrastination). Although abandoning the clock change could help avoid these acute harms, choosing the wrong permanent time could lead to chronic circadian misalignment, which could have even more profound implications for health, safety, and human behavior.

Summary: Ceasing the biannual clock change may be a…

It’s been a few months and I have a new update on SS1 disk reading. We ended up improving disk reading to be on par with loading from an SD in almost all CD-cores. All CD cores except PS1 = indistinguishable from SD. PS1 = edge cases where a game can be <1% slower.

The debate over the rights of citizens vs. non-citizens entirely misses the point when you look at the actual text of the Constitution and its later amendments. The Founding Fathers already answered this question, and did so in a way that should have spared us all of this wrangling and argument.

Just saw Nobody 2. Fun movie, but when they broke a pinball playfield glass, it looked like plate glass. In reality, you probably wouldn't be able to smash a guy's head through the tempered glass on a pinball machine, and if you did, it'd shatter into thousands of pieces, instead of sharp chunks.
