I mean all that code still runs on servers in a data center. “Serverless” really just means “stateless”. You can just huck the servers they use for your service.

And you have to use the incredibly slow official front end. Seriously how much JS do you need to show 280 characters and some links.

Cambridge, MA, USA public schools will allow children to leave unsupervised starting in third grade, which is 8 turning 9. Seems like a reasonable baseline.

Article was short on details, like ages and age-appropriate activities. When can I let my child roam his city neighborhood? That would be extremely helpful.

Because it's more expensive. Utility-scale solar is looking for the cheapest possible $ per MW. If you want solar car parks, warehouse roofs, etc. there need to be feed-in tariffs to encourage building owners to do it.

Photovoltaics are substantially more efficient at turning sunlight into energy than photosynthesis. Rooftops do seem like a good candidate, but they have high labor costs for installation; not all roofs are built to take extra load; and the

Write down your backup codes. Register a second key if possible. Google accounts are set up to prompt phones, too. In some cases we still have SMS 2FA enabled.

SMS-based 2FA is still vulnerable to phishing, but U2F is not. This has been solved for a while now, but I guess it's still a hassle for most folks to use them. I got my whole family Yubikeys a while back, and it seems to be going pre

Missed an option for cross platform graphics, which is IMO the best one: WebGPU. Supported on all platforms, much simpler than Vulkan, and with solid C++ (Dawn) and Rust (wgpu) libraries.

For encoding maybe? OP says “reasonable CPU performance for compression” and also it was a CPU they already had from a desktop build.
