It’s a pretty solved problem. In NSW, Australia we have automated systems for heavy vehicle noise fines. (They could of course be used for regular vehicles as well, we just don’t)

For all vehicles the police can issue a defect notice to anything that seems too loud. The owner then has to present to an inspection station and prove that they’re compliant. If they don’t show up or don’t test as compliant their registration is voided and they’re fined. Of course, they can remove the modification before visiting the induction station then reinstall it afterwards, but that gets pretty time consuming pretty fast and people largely stay within the bounds of reason as a result. The system isn’t perfect but it works fine.

That’s what they did for CS:GO, developed by Hidden Path.

That resonates for me. I spend lot of time teaching volunteers. Early on, I encourage them to learn the skill from me, but also take any opportunity to have others explain and demonstrate the same thing to them. I tend to work from first principles, explaining how the pump functions and why that means water goes in here and out there, and what different configurations of valves are therefore valid and which ones will never do anything useful. Others often explain it in terms of which valves to turn in which order to achieve a given outcome.

Neither is right or wrong. Most people will be left pretty cold by one explanation while the other will land neatly into a hole in their brain shaped perfectly for it. Which one is which will be different for each person.

I think that there’s value in gearing educational settings towards having a plurality of instructors available on each subject and letting students gravitate towards the ones that work for them.

I have also been very happy with Hyprland as a past dwm user.

I was completely unaware of view transitions and speculation rules. All of my products are server rendered for speed and simplicity. It’s amazing how snappy the interface is when your pages just load quickly because your software is performant. These seem like a great way to add an extra 10% of flavour.

Floodwater is horrible. Full of sewage overflow, agricultural runoff, etc. Any building contaminated with floodwater will at the least need to have all the furniture, floor covering, drywall etc ripped out and replaced. Even then you’re rolling the dice that the timber in the frame won’t just grow mould forever.

It's a useful feature in git, but a bug in github.

In my company's git repo, yes, I want full control.

In a public forum where lots of my public image is tied up, I don't want people to be able to impersonate me.

It's a tricky one to solve, though. Not sure how it would be achieved without demanding that every commit is GPG signed.
