I actually did some research on this topic on the gulf between voters' actual preferences and their ordinal votes.

Tldr; While the mathematics do prove the impracticality of guaranteeing the socially optimal candidate in ALL situations, realistically in the majority of cases plurality can achieve a candidate with a high social utility even if they aren't the best. In fact in most average situations it can outperform Harmonic or Borda voting procceses because of the lower spread on total scores leading to more deterministic outcomes for close candidates.

I guess fundamentally I agree with this, but the user experience on most online publications is, and has been, wow, for more than two decades, I think, so bad that every time I'm forced to experience it, I can't even get through a single article before I get so repulsed in worst cases I get an actual negative physical reaction. And it's getting worse as time goes by.

I get that online publications have to advertise, but to do it with auto-play video w/ audio of unrelated content, animated/video ads, ads for items you already bought a month ago, the outright scam ads, SEO garbage ("this one trick to get a supermodel girlfriend"), superstitials blocking content, dark pattern ads (e.g. x icon opens a link rather than closes the ad), ads that move and hover on the page when you scroll down.

I could go on for longer, but I'm getting that same negative physical reaction by simply describing this crap.

How to create a JSON serialization deserialization tool for Python objects
Friends,

Greetings!

I'm a developer, and recently I've been working on splitting a Python project into multiple microservices. During this process, I realized the need for JSON serialization and deserialization in Python. However, I couldn't find a publicly available third-party library that could serialize and deserialize any Python object without additional effort.

As we all know, Pydantic requires inheriting a base class to function, while Marshmallow necessitates defining a schema. Therefore, I created a project that dynamically combines these tasks, allowing users to serialize and deserialize without any special handling.

You can find the library here: https://pypi.org/project/pyjson_translator/

Currently, it can serialize typical object data and nested types, but I believe it's not yet complete or robust enough. If anyone is interested in contributing to the development, I would be very grateful. I hope this library can achieve functionality similar to Java's Gson, where most objects can be serialized to JSON with default configurations, making JSON transmission in Python microservices seamless.

Thank you all!
>gets bad reporting

He "gets bad reporting" because he has destroyed democracy in Hungary. Including but not limited to packing the courts, erasing the independence of media, and extreme redistricting that turned pluralities or slim majorities at the polls into super majorities in Parliament.

Recharacterizing that nightmare as if it is just 'reporting' helpfully introduces a layer of abstraction that implies there's nothing in his actions to condemn.

A good point.

Depending on the latitude/weather/etc, the difference between winter PV production can see a reduction of between 40% and 85% compared to summer output (sampling from [0]).

Panel prices have dropped so much, it's far more likely that, at least with places where summer output is double that of winter or less, that simply doubling the number of panels solves the problem.

Batteries and PV are cheap and getting cheaper all the time, are proven and are absolutely trivial to install, operate and maintain compared to ANY conceivable process that involves hydrogen.

I don't get the apparently insatiable drive/impulse that drives people to put so much effort into shoehorning hydrogen into the energy sector. It's expensive, inefficient, dangerous, leaky and is a potent greenhouse gas[1].

The hydrogen idea has been around for over 100 years, has never worked at scale, despite many efforts and large investments. It's time to walk away and concentrate effort into technologies that have actually delivered and have already reduced carbon emissions at scale.

The Discord URL message that eieio found could be found without relying on 1000x1000, imagery. The other pictures did described in the article did, though.

As for your question, the answer is yes. Bear in mind that the question you're asking is essentially the same as "if you resize your browser window so you can see a specific number of checkboxes per row, are there any drawings you can see?". And people definitely did draw stuff in widths other than 1000! It was just at a vastly smaller scale and done manually.

That said, I do want to try analyzing any available data to see what I can find, for sure.

I dont want to downplay your experience. IMHO there is enough markdown editors and visual guis that this is trivial. Even if the git repo is just commit everything to main. They might not even need to know about branches.

As for markdown, it is so trivial, especially with previews anywhere, that this is a made up problem. I think these "non-technical" people can learn this if needed, and if they have the will.
- "Is the US the only place on the planet that actually has free speech?"

I'm not aware of any other country with stronger protections, on the topic of the thing going on in the UK, of heated and violent rhetoric than the US has. US jurisprudence explicitly protects advocacy of violence and lawbreaking (up to the Brandenburg test is a very high bar), and I don't know if there's any other country with comparable protections.

(By which I specifically don't mean "has 'freedom of speech'" written on paper somewhere; nor "doesn't typically hassle people over tweets (but has legal options to do so should they choose)". I mean binding case law that weighs quasi-incitement to violence against the right to hyperbolic political rhetoric, and deliberately chooses the latter).

its not just about what you're connected to, but what the other side is and how the things work out to get it in between. SE asia is an important area for some large ISPs.
The more you try to decrease false positives, the more you get false negatives, this is something taught in any intermediate Statistics class. Different people may have different opinions on what rate of false positives is acceptable but only ignorant can claim that you can eliminate false negatives "for free", without getting hit with more false positives.

The example given in my stats textbook was going on an expensive cruise and, as you ride to the port, you realized that you might have left an iron on (that was an old book, people used irons to make their clothes smooth). If you turn back then you miss your ship and take a loss on your whole cruise. But if you don't and the iron is actually on then you lose your house. So, do you want to take the false negative (the iron is off and you lost few grand you paid for the cruise) or the false positive (the iron is on and lost few hundred grand you paid for the house but, as a consolation, you enjoyed a cruise)?

Apparently businesses do not suffer from their preference to false negatives and there are not many (or any) companies with an easy interview process, which are also attracting many applicants, so the avoidance of false positives does not seem irrational.
The worst thing about this is that we the citizens have to fight this every time, but if this just passes one single time we may lose our rights on this issue forever.

There’s also a bunch of stuff that falls under free speech most people don’t realize (at least in the US): what you can or can refuse put in your body, what you can refuse to say, how you spend your money, what you can hear, where you can read/write/speak/listen, etc

All of which has been being curtailed substantially in many ways since the 80s in the United States.

Show HN: I've Created an App That Adds Single-Player to Counter-Strike
- Video: https://lemonpole.github.io/liga-public/assets/demo-Bdq-TViS...
- Website: https://lemonpole.github.io/liga-public/

tl;dr: This is FIFA/Football Manager but for Counter-Strike.

In the app you create a Counter-Strike team and then compete in-game alongside your team of bots in a variety of competitions such as qualifiers, domestic league, and an open cup.

Features:

- Supports CS:GO, CS:S, CS:Z, and CS:1.6.
- CS2 is still not supported because they broke many things like the ability to customize the bots.
- The app launches Counter-Strike and connects you to a local server.
- Then it adds the teams and players to the server as bots with their customized names and stats, according to how they exist within the app.
- You can train your team to gain an edge over your opponents. The app will automatically adjust the bot difficulty to reflect these stat changes.
- Finally, once in-game, you type `.ready` in chat and the match will start. Once there is a winner, the app will record your results.
- As you win matches you can rise through the divisions in your league (open, intermediate, main, advanced, invite).
- Minors and Major competitions supported. But you'll have to qualify for these, of course!

Here are some bonus screenshots of how it looks in CS 1.6.

An interesting feature of people voting from abroad is that it is very easy to make it very easy or very hard for them to vote, and the choice between those two options tends to depend on how the current government thinks those people are likely to vote. So some countries allow expatriates to vote, but voters have to fill in a load of forms and then turn up with various document at the embassy at a particular time, while other countries proactively hunt down their expatriates and send them a form in the post with a prepaid envelope.

I think there is a stoic quote which says that "If every person had access to same reasoning process and facts as me, they will reach the same conclusion as mine".

As we know, people don't have access to same set of facts and even if they do, they don't have time to reason over them. I believe if each person could stop the world, spend time on going over all the knowledge accumulated by humanity and then make a decision, democracy is possible in such a scenario. But that is not true, we are made to play many timed chess matches where we have only few microseconds to make a decision before some other issue (another chess match) calls for our decision.

> everything is mutable

That’s the real problem, not OOP. There is a functional-ish OOP style where most objects are immutable. Classes are used to capture invariants (in the sense of https://lexi-lambda.github.io/blog/2019/11/05/parse-don-t-va...), or for local-only mutations (like building a collection in a local scope, which is passed on as immutable after building).

The defining characteristics of OOP are encapsulation and subtyping, not mutability.
