In EU4 you control a country. In CK3 you control a dynasty, one ruler at a time.

EU4 plays like a complex but fairly “normal” strategy game in a pseudo historical setting. CK3 is more focused on managing your complex web of feudal relationships. Almost dating-sim.

My best game of CK, I started as a minor a Norwegian noble and slowly worked my way up to becoming king of Norway, also owning part of Denmark. But I pissed off too many other nobles along the way, and they schemed with my brother to depose me in favor of him. I then went on a 20 year revenge spree to assassinate all of his heirs and inherit the kingdom back from him!

I recall the trailer for one of the CK2 expansions had a bullet point feature that could really only happen in CK: “SEDUCE YOUR RELATIVES!”
KTH is pretty well known internationally!

> The German security landscape in general is in a pretty bad shape

In some sense, they are doing pretty good. Much of German's companies and government organizations rely heavily on paper, telephone calls, tape recorders, physical meetings, and even fax. Many bridges (big, but also in rural areas) even have signs containing the max weight limits for various vehicle types including tanks. I sometimes wonder whether Germany's reliance on old-fashion methods are actually meant to be as reliable as possible in worst-case scenarios and to be difficult to hack. I mean, good luck hacking a tape recorder from thousands of miles away.
Thanks, and I will. It's at about 3000 words and I have been sitting on it, but I think I am going to just finish it up and release it and see what discussion it generates.
> I mean that is obviously overly dramatic posturing nonsense.

No it is not, not in the least. I wouldn't be so dismissive of someone when you clearly don't know the subject area (geopolitics).

There are geopolitical reasons for what Putin is doing in Ukraine. I recommend listing to "Peter Zeihan" on the subject, for starters. He's covered the war very well.

The underlying goal is to push the Russian "frontier" up to defensible geographical choke points before Russia's demographic decline makes it impossible to do so. This doesn't stop at Ukraine. The push would take all of Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Ukraine, Moldova, a north eastern chunk of Romania, and an eastern chunk of Poland up to the Vistula. Finland would also have to continue to be neutral, or would have to be taken as well. This is why the Russians have reacted badly to the suggestion that Finland is joining NATO. The gas restriction to Germany was a Russian attempt to push the country out of the NATO alliance, which would have made any NATO response difficult once Russia started on NATO states in the Baltic.

Putin has also made it clear that what he can't achieve with conventional military force, he is willing to attempt with tactical nuclear weapons. Taken together, the clear and stated desire to annex NATO nations (see Putin's recent speech on the Baltics historically belonging to Russia, and Ukraine "not being a real country"), the willingness to use nuclear weapons, and the fact that he is very clearly acting with the above aims in mind, should have you concerned.

The fact that the Russian army has been beaten back in Ukraine should not lull us into a false sense of security. They have plenty more manpower reserves they can draw on, and the Russians have a history of starting wars in somewhat of a shambles, before reforming and producing an army that is more of a stream roller.
I’ve recently gotten curious about how accurate my computers clock is, and the answer is “usually, only vaguely accurate down to one second”

I check via time.gov, and it’s often off by .5-.8s which just seems kinda insane to me. On my phone it’s always accurate to around .01s.

I think I have a guess as to why though. The bios clock might not save milliseconds[0]. So whenever I turn the computer on in the morning, it’s always not synced to the second. And windows just doesn’t care? Even if it’s off by 900ms and I manually go in and try to resync it often won’t bother. I have to manually change it to something blatantly wrong, then resync. And only then will it will finally be accurate to to .01s.

This seemingly default level of imprecision to nearly 1 full second is very surprising to me. I’m curious if that affects anything.

[0] not 100% certain about this. Maybe I just have insane second-per-day drift. I’ve seen the computer be off by as much as 1.3s, which doesn’t quite match my theory, but that error is enough to resync on its own.
The port on my phone started to feel loose to the point where charging became an issue. The dust and lint was compressed so much that nothing short of a steel needle helped.
I don't completely get this comment, to be honest. As a matter of empirical fact, many video rental stores sucked. Your sibling comment addresses the case of Block Buster, but I remember going to our one truly independent store and not being impressed by it either. So there's that.

But addressing your second point, I think we must have different viewing habits. I figure out what I want to watch, then I subscribe to it and I watch that show. If that increases my total subscriptions beyond what I'm comfortable with, I cancel the least recently used service. At no point do I use the in-service search function, so it really doesn't matter to me what else they offer. If they have one great show and a bunch of mediocre fluff, I'll watch that one show and leave. Maybe this sounds crazy, but if I'm careful about it it's not even that much more expensive then video rentals were back in the day.
I'm asking specifically what he says that violates the rules because you said they bended over backwards for him. I'm interested to see examples of obvious bad tweets, you don't know me but I assure you I'm am honest person who is willing to change their mind with new information. I will admit so far I'm unconvinced that Trump's treatment wasn't political, but I'm not American or a Twitter regular so didn't follow it too closely.

I'm not including the two tweets they actually banned him for because it's quite clear their interpretation of those tweets is highly subjective (I'm not ignoring the context there, context always matters, but even with context the idea that his tweets were "glorifying violence" seems to be some heavy extrapolation of what was said). Their decision to ban him then is obviously because of public and internal pressure mounting with the capital riot. So I'm more interested in what they essentially 'bent over backwards for'.
For the sake of discussion, we should specify whose definition of property we're using. Are you talking about the US government's definition?
SROs are usually small rooms, like 150 sq ft, with not many common areas besides a hallway, laundry room, bathroom, and a single shared kitchen.

The big difference between SROs and roommates is that your lease is individual, you are sharing amenities with maybe 8-20 people instead of like 3, and you don’t necessarily have things like a shared living room. They’re cheaper than a roommate situation given the drawbacks.

Making them illegal is probably a way to try to keep poor people out of the community. Because they’re single occupancy with shared facilities they skew towards poorer, middle aged single men at least in SF, and are kind of a stepping stone for people getting out of homelessness. I think the concept is great but in practice they seem to often end up slummy
I don't think Jim Blinn would be so crass toward his colleagues.
I don't think that's true anymore since apple is reversing that trend with their new iphones being their thickest ever. The latest stupid trend seems to be to treat a device as a camera with smart features attached.

Yeah good points, thanks!
Why would an AirTag, or any personal baggage tracker, pose a threat to an airline and make them want to ban it?

The benefits to consumers of using these devices are obvious. But it also seems that enabling customers to know where their lost luggage is would benefit the airlines as well.

Can anyone thing of a reason (legitimate or not) that airlines would be motivated to prevent this?
I think the prohibition is against depicting living things.
> That's a strawman. Nobody's saying it should extend past TV, please debate the idea on its own merits.

Yes, because it’s utterly stupid when you think about it and say that no content distributor should be able to fund the production of their own content. No one wants to be a commodity and that doesn’t make sense any market to not have something to differentiate your product.

Streaming content and being a pipe is the definition of “undifferentiated heavy lifting”. Both Netflix and Disney run on AWS infrastructure and now anyone with the money can throw money at a company like BAMTech to set up the infrastructure. Then you just have a monopoly on who actually carries the traffic. What’s to stop AWS, Azurs or GCP from just offering their own streaming service and undercutting the competition?

In other words, what you suggest now leads to a monopsony - where you have many sellers of content and a few buyers with more power and it would lead to consolidation.

Currently if a producer wants to create a show, he can negotiate with 9 different sellers.

Look no further than music distribution, you have basically two major players in music streaming - Spotify and Apple Music - and it’s a shitty business to be in as a standalone business
All based on a clickbait article, as outlined here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33128486
Something that wasn't mentioned in the abstract is whether the privacy policies were sufficient to actually protect somebody's privacy. It touches on there being no explicitly detrimental practices in the studies, but doesn't state whether they actually protect privacy, or merely codify existing business practices.

To use their metaphor of bulletproof glass, suppose a company pointed a sheet of cardboard as a safety measure. Strictly speaking, a bullet will be moving slower after going through the cardboard, so it is t detrimental on its own. However, if a company lists it as a safety measure without listing anything else, I'd be more worried. Where before there was uncertainty about whether their practices were sufficient, after there was certainty that they are insufficient.

In the same way, any privacy policy that includes "We only share your data with our trusted business partners." decreases my overall trust. Because that is already an admission of data changing hands, being used for further aggregation. Saying that you'll only share data about me when provided money in a business relationship is strictly better that sharing it publicly at all times, but isn't sufficient to give me any comfort.
Ask HN: How do developers in low-wage countries view Open Source?
Open source libraries help us developers to write bigger systems faster, but the availability of open source also reduces the possibility to build and sell own libraries.
If you want to pick stocks, and not just use a roboadvisor like betterment or wealthfront you have to understand that the market does not always go up.
This means you have to have a bear market strategy and know when to switch modes from bull to bear by watching and deeply understanding the federal reserve. Otherwise, just give up and use a roboadvisor.

In my case, I sold my tech portfolio when it was clear we were in a bear market when the war broke out and inflation was roaring. There's a reason people spend crazy amounts of time analyzing the fed. When they start raising rates a lot, like 75 basis points, the market WILL crash.

I then started playing around with swing trading energy and monkeypox stocks and options and I'm now a little ahead of break even for the year. Generally government spending (monkeypox) and whatever is driving the inflation (energy) does well in an inflationary depression, which is what we're in. You have to watch the news though to see if monkeypox is a dud or if opec is going to throw a tantrum in response to world events, like when probably the U.S starts destroying energy infrastructure.

Sure, swing trading is short term capital gains, but the key to investing is DON'T LOSE MONEY. You can only use $3000 in losses a year, so losing money in the stock market is double bad.

I will eventually become a bull again when the fed decides to start lowering rates. Permabears are just as big of stock market losers as permabulls.

If you still feel like investing, then just continue. It's called dollar cost averaging. The modern term would be buying the dip. Also you could save cash and wait till you think the market has bottomed. Now some stuff has crashed more than others. You could find new opportunities which are really undervalued in these markets. A lot of the weighting has changed. So what I'm saying is, nothing stops you from continuing. You may lost a round but not the game.

Except they have.

A Lufthansa spokesperson has clarified the new rules for the German news site watson:
https://www.watson.de/leben/urlaub%20&%20freizeit/879935671-...

It rougly translate to: The device itself is not banned, but has to be shut off during flight. In practice this would mean that you would have to remove the battery from the airtag, since there is no powerswitch.

But I will admit that this seems odd and I think it won't be the last time we've heard about it.

Built in targets should be preferred, sure, but there are plenty of situations not covered by those targets.

In that case it’s quite handy to have a motion plugin at your disposal. Or otherwise use plugins that extend the built in targets (like targets.vim)
Thanks for the explanation! I hope you add that sort of writeup on the product page itself too.

> The first time you install a set of packages our servers have never seen before, it can take a while, but subsequent times it becomes instant. This is really the achilles heel in our instant deployment story. [...]

If I'm understanding you right, you've created a new lower-level buildchain and caching mechanism. The first time I deploy an app to your servers it will take a while, but subsequent ones will be a lot faster.

If so, there's nothing wrong with that and in fact it's a great way to speed up subsequent builds (which are what really matter anyway). The first push of any given repo is just going to be a test anyway, it's the day-to-day speed that makes a big difference.

> Package locking and private npm packages (private github repos are already supported, in case that's what you were referring to?) are not yet supported, but should be simple to add on top of the existing system if there is demand. Let me know if these are blockers for you!

It totally depends on the scale of the repo/app that we're talking about. For simpler hobbyist projects those probably won't be needed, but then again for those projects Vercel is already fast enough, especially with incremental static regeneration. On bigger projects, speed would be GREAT (ours is sooooo slow, taking minutes to build), BUT basically it has to out-of-the-box be reproducible with what we have locally or any other buildchain (i.e. our repo, deployed anywhere, has to work the same, no matter how it's built and bundled). Package locking and private npm packages are not something I would ever WANT to add to a project, but sometimes they are the realities of legacy codebases that we have no choice but to keep using... this is why we couldn't switch to bun, for example, and probably Deno for that matter. And if I were starting a greenfield project using Reflame from the get-go, I'd still worry about broader ecosystem compatibility... like if Reflame goes under (god forbid), will my repo still be portable to other buildchains and hosts?

-------

Anyhow, it is still really exciting to see development in this space. Thanks for tackling a long-standing pain point for us, and hope to this evolve further! I signed up and will check it out at work :)
Yep, definitely a tradeoff. Really awesome to hear others have explored this in the past!

I wanted to err on the side of _enabling_ an identical-to-production development workflow, because AFAIK nothing else really offered this. So the cookies approach is what I ended up starting with, and I also built a UI to help make the difference abundantly obvious: https://reflame.app/~r/start-preview/?mode=production&varian...

Even still, subdomains are definitely less confusing though, and doesn't lead to the same kind of strange behaviors that you could only make sense of if you understood exactly how cookies work and how Reflame makes use of them (a tall order, I'm not even sure if I do 100% today). I may eventually also offer a subdomain version of these previews, for those who might be collaborating with less technical folks who are more likely to be confused by the cookie-based implementation.

Yeah, I have been in calls like those. Despite me pushing for "can you show me what your product can just do?" I kept getting "Please tell us what you want first" and that finally culminated into a follow up demo call. The demo was super generic and nothing I said (except 1 item) was really considered).
Frankly, by the time we were done I was zoned out and doing other things.

If the CEO had considered to demo in the first call I would've almost pushed to buy it right away but at the end we decided we'll just do a light weight solution in house with a few devs

Not that this works all the time. But the point is to listen to your customer instead of just taking a single approach and sticking to it
I've never used lisp, but I'm pretty sure you have the right idea. The only limitation is that it can only act on data that is compile-time known, which is a defined concept in Zig.

At the moment you can't do comptime allocations, so everything has to exist on the stack, but you can, for example, embed a file like a config or dataset, and run it thru a parser to turn it into some data structure, which is something you might otherwise work into the build system, running python/perl scripts to generate temporary code files, but now you can cut out the extra dependency by having that code generation in the same language.
No sensor is certain and can be blindly trusted - the data is going into a neural net anyway so the computer can be trained to understand what the most likely ground truth is given all sensor data.
That’s part of my point. How many companies do I need to work for such that that works, because every company that has used Agile or Scrum say that exact thing about tailoring it to the team from some base level.

It seems to me that if everyone does it wrong, then it is not a good fit for how people actually work.
I am indeed.
> Why does this happen? No idea, but it's not lost on me that a lot of these things are backed by huge companies with giant piles of money who are using them as marketing.

Your whole post is spot-on :)

My two cents on the answer to this question:

- New tools / frameworks / libraries / etc often position themselves as “solving” some perceived deficiency of the prior generation of that thing. So it can be attractive to want to move over to something that solves a pain point. (Whether it actually does, or whether it just replaces it with a new pain point is another thing…) Monolith to microservices is an example.

- At least for me, if I’m starting a new project (especially if it’s in a space I’m not that experienced in), it’s tempting to choose what looks to be the simplest choice, which could be for example a niche database technology suited for my exact need (even if in reality a regular SQL db would be just fine).

- Engineers like to play with new toys!
That is unfair. The twitter post has pictures of articles along with their sources going back to the 1800s. That is not a bar a random search comes up with. If it is so easy then use the same bar and get one sentence sources going back to the 1800s backing the thesis that people nowadays have less work ethics.
We agree that they don't always give the same answer then.

And also that the answers refer to different things. Bayesian methods depend on the prior probablity distribution chosen for the parameter of interest and produce a posterior probability distribution for it [1]. Frequentist methods have no concept of probability distribution regarding the parameter of interest at all.

So long!

[1] "Since bayesians understand that they can't trace back their probability updates all the way back to a single ultimate prior, they do not actually talk about distributions over the quantity of interest either."
I'm having issues to understand that though. If priors and posteriors are not "distributions over the quantity of interest" what are they about?
Reminds me of reading about Dilbert's Ultimate Cubicle (by IDEO and Adams) from 2001. It was a design exercise in fostering individual customization of a person's cubicle while fitting within the standard form/ business requirements.
