I also recommend that if you are going to start promoting a game that you post in a number of places; There are a bunch of subreddits that are great for that https://www.reddit.com/r/gamedev/ and https://www.reddit.com/r/IndieDev/ are two that come to mind.

One of your goals should be to solicit feedback and start to grow a community around your game where you can quickly solicit feedback through both videos, and playable prototypes of new features. I haven't watched your devlog yet, but if you are amenable to creating that kind of content, get a patreon going and build from that :)

Building community pathways and winning support from your players are the "diversify your portfolio" of indie game dev (and something I would be doing if I didn't have a demanding day job :P )
Interesting! I had never heard that phrase before.

I use K8s at work, but Docker Swarm at home because it is simple to set up and works well.
Yeah, FastAPI uses SQLAlchemy under it. Along with pydantic to define schemas with typing. And then just started tinkering with orjson for the json serialization. Seems to be the fastest library at the moment.

I have also been experimenting with encode/databases for async DB access. It still uses the SA core functions, which is nice, but that means it does not do the nice relationships stuff that SA has built in when using it to handle everything. At least not that I have found. However it does allow for things like gets without relationships, updates of single records, and stuff like that quite nicely.

The language is good; the standard library drives me batty. So many things that simply do not work as stated, or that force you take very circuitous routes to arrive at very simple results.
Taxes are a big reason. In many countries you can save quite a lot on revenue tax this way.
With code, there's often a dual license approach - a free license that is unpalatable to business (e.g. GPL), plus an option of a paid license that is more acceptable to businesses.

Perhaps a similar approach could work for MDN.

I have no idea why you're trying to make any logical sense out of this.
This is why I enjoy using Google Tasks so much. Typically I don't have or want to set a date for many items, but occasionally I do and occasionally I want them to even be recurring. For these moments they show up right alongside my other calendar entries. If you have a Gmail account and a Google Calendar and are not using Google Tasks, then you should really try it out.
Governments don't airdrop supplies into war-torn countries today, excepting designated UN or MSF refugee camps, and they do so with the knowledge of one or both sides of the conflict so that the supply planes don't get shot down.

I would very much like to see a headline of a neutral nation airdropping supplies into a country engaged in war without getting dragged into the conflict. I'm not aware of that having occurred in the past 4 decades.
I think medical care is a problematic example to use because health is already fraught with moral connotations, and medicine as a product category is not at all conducive to an efficient market.

Arguing, even correctly, that price discrimination is bad for healthcare does not necessarily imply that it's bad for other things. Healthcare is different.
I find it hilarious you don't think this was "stored" there for this very moment. It's your 9/11. Time to start thinking broader about DEW, the tunnels that were underneath the compound, and purposeful endangerment for the purpose of sacrifice.
RethinkDB was behind my first major software project at my first job, and it was so great to use it it has been hard to find an alternative database. Really happy that it’s still getting some development!
Sorry, My experience is mostly US based. I looked into this heavily in my area 2+ years ago.

T-Mobile, AT&T, Sprint, and Verizon say their hotspots are not meant for this in my region. At least that was 2 years ago in Sub-urban Seattle and 3 years ago D.C.
> Sure. At the same time, is it really smart for them to just completely abandon the idea of independence?

It is. Chrome is so dominant at this point they're the de facto web standard. Other browsers have to put in significant effort just to play catch up and can't really offer any new renderer/js feature without Chrome's blessing.

Plus, we have a decade's worth of evidence that Chromium is just flat out better than the competition. Even if we set aside the problems with market share the Chromium team has consistently put out a faster engine than Firefox or IE.

Adopting Chromium allows you to (mostly) avoid putting effort into the rendering engine allowing you to focus on other features to differentiate yourself.
> would it be fair to say they can only be democratic if the workers have the power to elect and replace the board of directors?

I don't think it would be a bad thing to have more representation on corporate boards of stakeholders besides shareholders, at least in companies that are so large and powerful that they have enhanced influence. Some fraction of seats should go to other groups like workers, customers, the general public, etc.

They're really expensive and big. Also, we actually do sometimes drop satellite internet into places.
According to a video I watched some time back, N95 works by statically attracting the particles to stick to the fibers. Over time, the static electricity is neutralized in the same way it is with, say, your laundry. This is why you can't simply wash the mask, and also why they become ineffective after a time of use, even if they never once come in contact with coronavirus particles. Basically, your skin is gradually causing the static to discharge.

The video I was watching was about why N95 masks aren't interchangeable with PM2.5 masks, and vice versa, but they can be (and are) combined for some purposes. PM2.5 can let coronavirus through if it isn't in a medium large enough to be filtered, and n95 can let some gases through that pm2.5 would block. But noting that viral particles rarely fly around on their own (they are usually in an aerosol liquid which may or may not have a surface area that will be filtered by either one), the effectiveness isn't as drastically different as it might initially seem when only talking about particle size.

The video argued that due to how the masks work, N95 is 95% effective, and pm2.5 is 93% effective (and some argued 80-some-odd percent). PM2.5 can pretty much be decontaminated with strong UV light, but N95 can't because no amount of UV will make it statically charged again. Once discharged, an N95 is pretty much toast, and cannot be re-used.

But, caveats be given, that is a single study and might not be representative of "out there in the wild." It comes down to how much the charcoal filter and other layers can hold onto versus how much the statically charged (and shorter lived) N95 fibers last before being discharged. They have completely different end-of-life profiles.

Also there are 2 parts to "effective" - ingress air and egress breath. N95 is quite a bit more effective at filtering your breath than PM2.5, which is important when avoiding you spreading the germs. This is the part a lot of people get confused about, because it often sounds conflicting when reports don't define what is "effective." The dangers of re-use also get confounded by this detail.
>What would your local authority do if some russians just abandoned three thousand tons of fertilizer in your harbor?

Milk it in the news for maximum virtue signaling then dispose of it in the least economically efficient way possible with the inefficiency being directed at the bank accounts of those politically connected.

I assume that a government that can't rely on the letter in brackets beside their name to get them reelected might do things differently.
International relations is an actual subject area. It's true that we don't need that many diplomats, and that people might be just studying it out of interest... or because it sounded better than something else.

Most business courses are literally fake. The stuff being taught was invented in order to be taught. Quite a lot of it is learning the meaning of terms that were invented in order to be taught. It's not that there aren't real business subjects. Finance and accounting are real subjects. Economics is a real subject, in the sense that philosophy is a real subject. Statistics, etc.

The trend is (and has been for decades) to teach mostly (or only) fluff courses.

The bottom third of these things are functional equivalents of diploma mills. Ask business graduates over a pint. Most will admit it.
The thing is, the modern economy is such a complex marvel that "incompetence" is the default state. I certainly couldn't put on welding gear and be a competent welder tomorrow, and there's an entire spectrum of competence and ability to fake competence between me and a master welder. It's extremely non-trivial for a large organization to push competency down to the lowest levels of the org tree, and that goes doubly for large organizations like governments with loose accountability feedback loops.
If the people who own the factories can make everything they want, then they have no incentive to expand their factories beyond what is necessary to give them what they want, and, unless their factories takes up all available resources, then what prevents other people from making their own factories? So everyone will just have enough factories to be self sufficient on their own.

However, there are two conditions for that to happen:
1. That there are enough resources to build factories for everyone
2. Everyone have access to the knowledge and means to create those factories.

The way I see it, space exploration is vital in guaranteeing the first condition, and having an open forum of knowledge sharing and research is needed guarantees the second condition.

Most games these days have multi-thread heavy workloads. Gaming hasn't been single-thread dominant for AAA titles for a while.
As long as you are willing to be somewhat discriminating, you can find rural areas with great internet service. My farm has a fibre connection and the ISP offers 100/100 service. If you travel a few miles down the road, the ISP there will provide gigabit service.
> I know I could do some work with keymaps, but gosh, the keyboard was the single largest pain I ran into!

That's pretty much why I got the maxi. I really wanted a keyboard that felt like the real one.

Re: the latency of emulators. You're totally right. But look at the downsides of a real C64: there are lots of pain points you likely don't remember when looking through rose tinted glasses. I don't miss the long load times, or fidgeting with the datasette -- and googling, I find that the disk drive was bugged and was too slow even for yesterday's standards -- and I certainly don't want to deal with video output converters. Plus the whole faulty/unreliable PSUs. The maxi is way more convenient.

The maxi does some things right (low latency, though not zero; looks like the real thing) and some wrong (weird and unwanted games carrousel; I cannot flash it with my favorite emu -- that'd be BMC64; lack of soft reset). I can live with it as it is!

But agreed, the real hardware and peripherals have a powerful emotional attraction. I've certainly had to fight with the urge to buy old crap for nostalgia's sake, like for example an old PC XT with a monochrome CRT ("where are you going to put it? what are you going to do with it?").
Practicing math avoidance is indeed a path to a low paying career. This includes those who get engineering degrees while taking the minimum and easiest math courses possible. Then their jobs get outsourced.

This is something you should have noticed under normal circumstances.
Can the trades support a sea change in employment/education that leads to a massive new labor supply while maintaining high wages? My guess is probably not based on the scale of change you’re suggesting. America’s labor market is fundamentally broken, and the issues with higher education are only a symptom.
As someone who lives in the middle of the ocean with ~70ms to the nearest major data center, you get used to it.

I do a middle ground: I use "this" for a method call specifically when the call is occurring within the context of an instantiation of a class. As opposed to a static method calling a static method, where the method name goes unprefixed, because there is no object that would be represented by "this" (and C# doesn't even allow it.)

Curious how you would think of this approach. Would you call that inconsistent, or a useful separation of thought patterns?

I was a business major for a year and a half before switching to biology. It is worth it to go over case studies and learn accounting, IMO lots of the value gained is through instructer-led group discussion which doesn’t really work over zoom. This led me to actually making a startup and learning much more about how businesses is done than I would have.
I was responding to this statement:

> No one handled this as badly as we did, objectively.

Now if you want to change the goalposts and talk about "close to worst", fine, but let's agree you are changing the goalposts. And of course everyone ignores the fact that we have no idea what the real numbers were in China.

> Give us a month at the current death rate and we'll have passed everyone but Belgium.

What does this even mean? It can only mean that you are trying to count total deaths, I think, which is a meaningless statistic unless you scale it to the population size.

Within the US, the numbers are terribly skewed due to deaths in nursing homes and assisted living facilities in and around NYC. If you consider our national numbers when those outliers are removed things look vastly different. But if you do that you would have to start being a bit critical of some decisions made by people with (D) after their name on TV and of course we all know that is to be avoided at all costs. Much easier to pretend that President Trump failed in some way.
> Practicing math avoidance is indeed a path to a low paying career.

Counterpoint: most software developers I've known.
I like tower defense games, but it's a crowded market. You'll probably need better graphics or really amazing gameplay.

One thing that's critical in my book: "Normal" mode should beat new players regularly until they get the hang of the game. It's boring to win easily. I'd go Android and give the first x levels for free rather than in game purchases.

Edit: typo
> working trades or other simple jobs because it keeps their stress levels down.

Yes! People take "simple jobs" like hauling trash or cleaning sewers or welding pipes because it's stress free! Unlike those high-stress jobs at Facebook where you take the free party bus to the office, get free food, drink, gym, yoga, and massages, and even have internal message boards where you're encouraged to post about how horrible you're being treated. So stressful! I bet all of those 10xers at the FAANGS wish they could be maintenance workers.
I mostly agree. But I have not sensed -- at all -- that there is any "we", that Americans have or will come together to reach a common decision.
that's a good feedback, thanks

I've been trying to grow a community around the game, but haven't being successful yet.

I love HN cause I always get really good advice here. The last time I was here with a game (Qubes) I end up publishing it for free on itchio. This time I feel I can make some money out of it (without each player spending a great amount)
... and depending on what you're forced to do "for your country", it might mess you up psychologically. And at least in the US, we sadly don't take very good care of our veterans.
Business or self employment expenses are subtracted from revenue before computing income, so there is no relation here with itemizing or the standard deduction.

Are there still places where brick construction is common?

Any semi-modern building I've seen in my area is wood-frame with maybe a decorative brick facade on part of a wall.

I can't imagine the cost of building a brick house makes any financial sense when compared to more modern construction methods.

Am I wrong in this?
SpaceX isn't doing the install work work on these Starlink kits. They just sell you some hardware.

If you're a terrestrial-based internet provider, you need a fleet of installers and they also have to do constant maintenance work. They have salaries and they make (lots of) overtime pay. At a lot of the smaller companies (like the one I worked at) they have pensions. We had a lot of guys who started with the company out of high school, retired at 20 years, came back as contractors for a year and then did another 20 years and got a second pension from the same company...

And a couple of those guys are still contracting after their two pensions.
https://harpers.org/archive/1964/11/the-paranoid-style-in-am...

The Paranoid Style in American Politics 1964.

American politics has always been this way. It's simplistic to blame it all on Faux News, or the Civil War or a vague over generalized "racism." The paranoid style even predates the American Revolutionary War. You can draw a straight line from the anti-Mason and anti-Catholic populist movements from the 1800's to QAnon amd Antifa today. It's the exact same narrative, paranoid about vast and powerdul malevolent conspiracies being run by a cabal of the most powerful. The coup plotters names and methods of attack may change, but the structural narrative remains the same.

The Paranoid style it's in our blood, it's a unique trait that defines us as Americans. Therefore I don't knock it and I hope we never lose it.
> But to answer your question, no, I don't think it would, because…

I think your examples make such companies seem like totalitarian dictatorships.

(If I understand right, employers are not allowed total surveillance of their workforce here in Germany; my understanding is however as a non-native speaker).

> The infrastructure for surveillance within a company can also be far more pervasive and fine-grained than with governments, simply because the scale is smaller.

I’m specifically thinking of the largest companies, the ones whose workforce headcount (/turnover) overlaps with the population (/GDP) of small nations.
> You can't shortcut learning because knowledge isn't given it's earned.

That's right. It's like using a lever to lift that barbell isn't going to make you stronger. Training your brain requires effort, just like training your muscles.
To be fair, he did fix the guy's bike and only harbored resentment afterwards, but I understand your point.

One could also modify the system of government, moving away from executive appointees and towards committee appointments and a professional civil service.

This is the kind of comment I enjoy on here. Thank you for sharing your human experience.
I am not sure when the idea of nature/nurture will be put to rest, I have accepted it but it also has very strange philosophical ideas, like the idea of how laws are made making assumptions about humans, but what if the humans are not knowledgeable or understand what they are doing, or have different values? We already have laws for disabled or other classes of humans, and also temporarily insane. This brings up very interesting points on how equality is not equal, how laws are complex for the purpose of gaming them by those of higher intelligence or memory of obscure facts.

Genetics has a lot to do with who we are, our race/looks, height, thoughts/intelligence even. Yet many cling to the idea that nurture can overcome nature. Our mtDNA and Y chromosome is the hardware our consciousness runs on. Just the way we are, not a strong or a weak thing you say, there are mutations in us, some are beneficial, some are good/bad, but I disagree, of course some are weak or objectively bad. Hotwheels from 8chan made a good post about how he doesn't like his existence and would support euthanasia for people like himself. I doubt anyone would want to be born with tay-sachs, and when you say not strong/weak you may be using a surviorship bias to say it, although most humans are on average quite healthy.

I was originally going to post how I had the opposite reaction to an event like this like you, a car crash when I lost control in the rain, thinking I was about to die. I didn't and I was mostly fine aside from some back pain from whiplash. I have aphatasia, do you happen to have it? I have a bad memory so I don't think people with it can get PTSD, so it is an adaptive mechanism, although I lose a lot of richness in thought I suppose I have been through really bad things with no problems, had a gun pointed at me, demanded my stuff, and I said no, he was confused and didn't really know what to do, I left. I didn't really think much of it but others thought it was crazy. No PTSD either.

GA are used for electronic circuit connection design (sorry, i don't the correct english name for the line printed on the circuits that connects different pins). GA are used to solve the problem of laying out them avoiding intersection.
GA are used to design antennas. They are often used in travelling salesman like problems. GA and GP would be vey useful also in some other context like finding sequences of actions if only they could benefit from GPU like neural net did, but gpu aren't suitable for GA/GP and it's a pity since in GA/GP you can understand the inner structure easier than in a neural net where simply you don't know why the net took that decision.
Alternatively, all that attempts to control chaos and decrease entropy actually results in faster entropy increase overall on a systemic level. I remember reading about a (Russian?) physicist that believed that life simply happens as a result of the universe's attempt to increase entropy faster on sufficiently complicated systems. If someone remembers his name I'd be obliged.
