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....

I love that someone needed to solve cliché high school math problems to make these happen.
Up through the 1930s, State Fairs across America featured head on collisions between trains. The first occurred at the Iowa State Fair in 1896 before a crowd of 20,000. This video is from the Minnesota State Fair during the Great Depression, as featured in the poster below:

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.

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.

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.

Doing some testing of SS1 reading PS1 data directly from a disk without dumping the data first. It’s much better than I expected.
That being said, copying games to the SD or SSD is still the optimal strategy for performance. It’s a one-time process and better for random access.

I’m legit concerned they’re going to release smallpox either in an attempt to disprove germ theory, or due to stupidity.
The Trump admin is in the midst of laying off 1,100-1,200 HHS staff. The CDC's outbreak responders, gone. The office producing CDC's weekly journal MMWR is gone. CDC staff securing sensitive data, gone. Worker safety, gone. Immunization group, gone.
Instead, Congress watches RFK "make the proof"

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.
