I found that working on some of the more "tutorial/scenario" type mods/maps helped a bit, but since the game doesn't really have time limits there's really nothing preventing you from perpetual optimization.

You can take the Nilaus route where the thing that you're actually optimizing is your blueprint book over multiple playthroughs, so that later ones you're basically plopping down blueprints and editing them as you see ways to do things better.
It doesn't guarantee anything, that's why I said it should show up the same as no cert. The only point is to break passive MITM attacks, which is still better than nothing.

I can't remember the last time there was something actually worth listening to on "live audio".

At the same time, not knowing in advance what the content will be is sort of a killer for me...on-demand has a bit of social proof through reviews and comments, whereas live audio is sort of a crap shoot.
I wish I did... I'm having a hard time convincing anyone they are worth it. I've had a positive experience with them in Toastmasters (public speaking club). There is a time and place for them.

In my experience, the biggest benefits are:

- they force a group to define what is being voted on (via ammendments)

- they separate debating from voting

- they make it clear when a decision has been made and it's time to apply it

If you're stuck kicking the can on plans and decisions, it may be worth implementing a version of these rules.
thanks i think

Where I live, they base the sewage fees off water usage during the winter. Since few people water their yards then, it mostly takes irrigation out of the equation.

Bonus: it spurs you to think about conservation. When your 3-month wastewater averaging period starts, you know that any water you save will cut costs for the whole year.

Show HN: Build Apps in Python with Dara
We would like to introduce Dara - an app framework that allows you to build web-apps in Python.

You can explore our open-source GitHub repo here: https://github.com/causalens/dara

2 years ago, our Data Scientists at causaLens were solving real world problems with our tech - causalAI. They found themselves impeded to turn their work into interactive visuals that allow informed decision-making.

To overcome this, we built a framework designed to empower our Data Scientists to work effectively with the language they know, and get great looking apps powered by their work. The framework is a facilitating, but non-core capability of ours, so we decided to open source it and give back to the community. We want to see what we can learn from challenges that come from outside our key focus on causality driven problems.

These were our guiding principles:

Native Support for Causality: At causaLens, we believe that understanding of cause-effect relationships is a foundation to empower informed decision making. To understand the intricate structures within causal graphs we have built a set of interactive components that let you visualize, modify, and explore them.

Build Apps in Pure Python: We designed the framework mainly for Data Scientists, aiming for a straightforward development with a wide range of ready-to-use components. At the same time, we kept the flexibility to customize the apps for more advanced use cases such as extending the backend FastAPI server with extra endpoints.

Standing on the shoulders of giants: The frontend is implemented using React, Typescript and Recoil. Using those state-of-the-art technologies means that we can use the vast ecosystem of packages available. We made sure adding custom components is as simple as defining a new React component and a corresponding Python class mapping its props.

Move Beyond Dashboards: Make anything from simple dashboards to complex multi-page apps with lots of interactivity whilst keeping the code maintainable and retaining native web app performance. To ensure scalability, our architecture is designed with reducing the client-server back-and-forth in mind. Therefore, rendering happens mostly in the browser. Your application will only call into the Python side when absolutely necessary.

We understand that your time is valuable, which is why Dara is designed to provide a simple and user-friendly development experience!

We are actively working on this framework and we welcome your contributions. If you find yourself missing a feature or stumble upon a bug please open up an issue. Star us on GitHub to follow the development of Dara!
It might result in negative outcome for 1 person whereas it can have positive outcomes for 99 people. And there'd be a similar ratio in the real-world psylogical/medical advice anyway: it's not 100% positive for everybody in actual advice too.

As long as it's clearly labeled as this is not medical advice, it's much better than not having it.
Cities Skylines has done this with their DLC; each "major" DLC came with changes to the base game that everyone got (usually to support the DLC) and then the DLC itself added more.

So if you bought the game and never bought any DLC, you have a much different game now than when you first played.
Since the introduction of stream processing, there have been three certainties in life: death, taxes, and out-of-order data. As a stream processing library built for Apache Kafka, Kafka Streams processes data in offset order. When out-of-order data is present, offset order differs from timestamp order and care must be taken to ensure that processing results respect timestamp order where appropriate. The introduction of versioned state stores to Kafka Streams in the Apache Kafka 3.5 release is a huge milestone in this direction....
It's basically impossible to track individual items in that way. Ask me how I know!
The vast majority of people that support such taxes will absolutely pretend like they’re some sort of service charge. Normally they just pull the “indirectly” card so that they don’t need to quantify anything. You can arbitrarily raise someone else’s tax burden by tacking on more and more things you can claim they indirectly use, while simultaneously arbitrarily lowering your own obligations by simply claiming you don’t benefit as much.

Ask HN: The Downsides of DevOps
Hi Everyone,
I am pivoting in my career from being an embedded developer (mainly C/C++) to being a DevOps product owner. I am currently reading Gene Kim's book on DevOps, which makes it all sound like wine and roses. I am experienced enough to know, not just believe, that there is "No Silver Bullet" like Fred Brooks says.
So, I ask you HN community: what are the downsides of DevOps? Any unkept promises? New problems that were exchanged for old ones? I want to know before I have one sip of the "Kool-Aid".
Is thread-based the right terminology for Erlang's lightweight processes? I guess the pattern is comparable.
Does nx not work for you? https://github.com/elixir-nx/nx/tree/main/nx#readme
We've got a 9-drive system with a table robot between two aisles of tapes, the whole thing is maybe 8" by 20". It definitely makes sense at that scale.
Exist many potential ways to speed up a compiler, than are proven (example: pascal), but the most nasty truth about that is that change the language.

That is a reason for why will be impossible to fix Python (you can't assert that anything will keep their types) or in this case Rust (several features are "made" with the sole purpose to make the compiler pipeline SAD!).

You need certain discipline to develop both the language/syntax/semantic so the compiler can exploit them for speed.

---

However, I suspect it must be possible to speed up Rust and other langs massively, because you can chew gigabytes in a RDBMs in seconds. I now wonder if a "compiler database engine" could help, so you can store the lexemes, sources, inferences, etc and query them.

Also, A LOT of the work of compiler is just repeat the same steps over and over, and exist some research about save pre-computed snippets to avoid that.
Yeah – it's a lot cheaper when numerous other space agencies do it before you and release all the available information about how to do it so you just have to use all their research and experience at no cost.
Also, when your 70 something granddad says cars today are fragile and break too easily in a crash, they're right.

Old cars were built to last, to survive crashes with a minimum of damage and to be easily repairable as soon as you hose out the remains of the former occupants who were turned into an untasty raspberry jam like substance after bouncing around the inside of their indestructible death cabs at 60 miles an hour.

If it weren't for rust and lack of maintenance, many of those old beasts would still be on the road today.

Today's cars collapse and crumple like wet tissue by comparison, but then after the accident your friendly local fireman can use some powered jaws to open your little nesting cocoon and extract you largely unhurt from accidents that would have turned you into aforementioned jam just 60 years ago.

Sure, the car is toast but who wouldn't trade a brand new car for years of life, especially when many people have insurance so your deductible can be as little as a few hundred dollars?
I am not an expert either, and it seems each state has different rules. Searching some variation of “market based sourcing rules for income” should bring up relevant results.

For reference, the method used before was typically called “cost of performance”.

If society actually collapses, a lone libertarian in a bunker with truckloads of fresh water and food supplies is not going to survive. A warlord with as few as 10 guys with guns roving the hills will be able to just kill the preppers and take whatever they need. They're not going to care that you have the deed to your land and you even built a fence around it to show everyone you own it.
America’s astonishing economic growth goes up another gear
I ironically get the most stability out of arch. Like you said, you front load a lot of the effort. Tweaking, setting up important packages, etc. Once that is done, as long as you update it really gets out of your way. Occasionally something will break and there will be a notice on the front page of the arch site.

Ubuntu suffers something that effects windows really badly. In an attempt to polish, you obfuscate a lot of moving parts. When one of those parts break down, it becomes far harder to repair.

I also understand the irony of wanting people to switch to Linux then being against a polished distro.
Maybe we should start erecting a structure on top of these sites that would be very hard to move. Perhaps we build it out of stone and carve warnings into the entrances. The most resilient structure is probably some kind of pile of large quarried rock but we need it to be recognizable so it should have a fundamental shape.

I guess I'm describing a pyramid which made it about 4k years before we forgot what the symbols meant and went digging through them anyway. 4/100 ain't bad for a first try though!

It takes a lot of resources (today) to dig down 1400' so that might be helpful. However, it's still doable with time and motivation for practically any human society. Space is another interesting idea with its own set of issues (eg: getting waste there safely) but has the advantage of requiring a space-fairing civilization which also requires advanced knowledge, cooperation and communication which gives a better chance that simple grave-robbers don't dig something up after the decline of our current knowledge, skillsets and civilization.
Why is BSL primarily designed for databases? I thought it was just "GPL 4 years after release" sort of thing which seems pretty reasonable to me tbh.

PLEASE do not do this. The field is far too new and the risk matrix of hallucinations are through the roof, ESPECIALLY with those who have mental illness.

This is the sort of stuff that might get legislation passed on open source models or turn public opinion against them.

Yes the USA's most powerful union is the AMA and yes they're the reason # of doctors are low and doctor salaries are skyhigh (especially compared to doctors in the rest of the world), but this is not the way to address the problem, at least not yet!

In short, yes. The hole for the well works both ways; it's a fast track for any surface-level pollutants to get into the groundwater, contaminating it for everyone.

Local law may require barriers to prevent this, such as an elevated concrete pad at the top of the well. This how-to guide didn't mention anything like that. Permits help ensure that important steps aren't skipped.
If it's moving to lower tax states then it's less spread, isn't it? The taxes should be progressive and more re-distributive than business profits.

Real estate price changes are maybe good for NY and CA but of course you get rising prices in the new states.

In most of the world you can drill down 20 feet and find water. It might or might not be safe to drink. It might or might not be a lot of water, but even in deserts you commonly can find it that shallow.
They are useful for committees but not really for project groups.

I introduced some of it to our CAB, and it works in the sense that the CAB is just a soft machine that approves or rejects changes. Everything stays on the rails and we are done in time for lunch.
If the climate warms significantly, we are getting millions of kilometers of previously unusable taiga in what is now largely empty regions of Canada and Russia. And the population in most countries is already in decline. We will need less food and farming, not more.

The fall of ancient civilizations is always a great story but I think we have fundamentally changed when we attained systematic knowledge. There will be no great collapse with massive loss of capacity because we put our understanding of the world and our tech into models and then wrote it all down millions of times.

Basically, we know how to build a nuclear reactor, an internal combustion engine, and a computer, we will never forget it, and therefore can always run an industrial civilization.
I recommend Rusty's Rules of Order as a slimmed down, well-explained version.

The rules (both Rusty's and Robert's) are basically a state machine that helps people to run the kind of meetings that create top-down rules and directives for an organization with common ownership (so, a fraternity, sorority, union group, city council, or Parliament)

(Google brings up several PDFs if you search for Rusty's Rules of Order)
Thanks, snatched that one.
When I built my house in the country, the well driller insisted on witching. He said "we should drill right here." I said "No, move it 100 feet that way. Your spot is right in the middle of my future driveway."

"I can't guarantee we'll hit water there" he said.

"I paying you. Just drill where I said" I said.

And of course we hit water.
So what's the answer? 1A doesn't protect non-peaceful protests. There's no court in the world that would classify lasers used in this manner as peaceful.

"Oh it's just some pig doing it, not the real protestors" is such an intellectually lazy response and most of the time it's false anyway. If you want to have a peaceful protest I will be the first one to support it whether I agree with the end goal or not. But the people running these things have an obligation to see that they remain peaceful.
The complaints in the first post there really stood out when I looked at the screenshots on the HelloSystem site. I’m not saying what the complaints are, because I’m curious if they’ll be so obvious to somebody who isn’t primed to look for them. Could someone skip that thread and look directly at the HelloSystem site, then check and see if they also saw the issues in that post? It could be an interesting experiment.
The uk government seems to be willing to leave the European Court of Human Rights jurisdiction if it can't get its own way. So it's at least possible that part of the reason for this act is to provide a pretext for doing just that.
When the phone doesn't charge it could be the battery, it could be the charging port, it could be a fried resistor on the board or something else.
Sounds reasonable to me. Sounds like emails about actual actions that a reasonable person would want to be informed about, primarily initiated by the user. Imagine if they would keep charging you without even throwing an email in your general direction...
> This is such a strange headline.

This is such a strange comment.

"They’re designed for storage, not sparking insights. Can AI change that?"

That's the sub-header. The followup. The next line.

> Because... they're not supposed to?

Tell that to the note-taking apps that are adding AI to their apps in order to "make us smarter" as some would say. To improve our knowledge, to think bigger, to brainstorm for us.

> Why was the author expecting it to make us smarter anyway?

The headline doesn't say that at all. In fact, the article starts off by making it very very very clear that they aren't doing this.

> Where did they get that expectation?

They didn't. That's your conclusion.

> To me, this sounds like "Why pen doesn't make us smarter" or "Why lamp doesn't make us smarter".

They sound nothing alike. The sounds are completely different. You should get your hearing checked. =)
I think BTRFS doesn’t support encryption yet. If it does, I should edit the Wikipedia page.

Maybe they will improve the LUKS user experience.
Uh... hmmm. I work in the industry and this article is very even handed but still a bit off.

We don't really have have a term for "behavioral" advertising. So a lot of things are being lumped together that don't necessarily fit.

For example, Facebook USED to be highly valued because of the amount of "targeting" (again, we don't use the term "behavioral") data they had. When you went to tell FB what you liked and didn't like they used that. They also kept that valuable data under lock and key - they have no interest in sharing it.

Things are a bit different now. Since they and everyone else switched to an endless "doomscrolling" experience, all that data is worthless. No one keeps their likes up to date, no one engages with content. So there's really not that much targeting ("behavioral") data out of FB anymore. So native ads are less effective, but people look at much more.

"Data brokerages" are pretty niche. They don't exist to the extent that people think they do. And the data they provide is often absolute garbage. Users switch phones, emails, numbers way too often to actually get anything resembling a permanent "lock". Marketing data ages FAST. Do you go to a store and find they have an address that is like 4 moves old? That's kind of the quality of brokerage data - it's good for filling in gaps, but is not nearly as valuable as first-party data.

So part of what you are seeing is not necessarily advertisers responding to upcoming EU regulations, but organic changes in what sort of advertising is even effective anymore. Third party cookies are not as useful as they used to be, and they cut into the big advertisers' monopolies on user data. So they are being phased out anyway.

> Attribution / measurement of advertising campaigns became more and more precise

This is the exact opposite of what is happening in the industry. There are so many different data sources that all conflict that data quality is often very dire in most large organizations. So there is a ton of fraud and snake oil used to justify advertising budgets.

However, where the author hits the nail on the head I think are future outcomes: EU markets are being deprioritized (it doesn't hurt that economically, consumer wealth in Europe is falling like a rock). Users are opting in to more advertisements (Instagram is quickly becoming the QVC of the internet). One thing he misses is the rising importance of sponsorships and physical marketing..
>Anything that chokes off the flow of money via advertising to these companies is a two-tier win in my book.

So you want paywalls for every service?
Housing is a supply shortage. There are ~300 million workers in NA, many can be wooed with high pay.
In many (but not all) Linux package distributions, malware is filtered out by maintainers. In other package distributions, maintainers are omitted, because «it's too hard». Instead, everybody protects it's own system alone.

Even if your ssh-key will not be stolen when project is built, it still can happen when malware will be shipped to your client. How you protect your client?
The question actually asked about privacy laws is one to which the answer is actually yes, not no: the US has (several) federal privacy laws that impact what companies can do with personal data they collect, they provide radically different coverage for different kinds of data and impose little to no restrictions on many kinds of datat that might be important, but the question doesn't ask about the adequacy of federal laws on data use, only whether at least one such federal law exists. (And “internet-era” isn’t part of the question, despite the headline, though several of the applicable laws were passed in the “internet era”, and even with the internet specifically in mind.)

So a more accurate headline would be “vast majority of Americans aware that the US has some federal data privacy laws”, but that’s not as useful for the PR purpose this is put together for.
What have I said any different in this entire thread? Both the business and the consumer are free agents. The business gets to decide how they want to conduct their business and the consumer gets to decide if that’s acceptable.

Have you ever thought that you might just not have been able to comprehend that argument?

You said “consequences for me but not for thee”. We both “suffer” from the consequences of our actions. I lose business from people who don’t want to use a phone and you lose the chance to get a good or service you want
