This is cool - I’ve been looking for something like this. I really liked the syntax of Prefect v1 but it was overcomplicated with execution configuration in subsequent versions. I just want something to help me just run async pipelines and prevent AsyncIO weirdness - going to test this out.

Interested in how it performed vs basic index funds?

Dude we’ve all make a rm -rf fuckup before…

Children are not getting surgery in any significant numbers. This is a made up right wing talking point

You could say the same about child abuse. That doesn’t make it not disgusting or unimportant. If you have to hide the things you are doing to children from the parents, you’re doing a bad thing.

Not necessarily true. A bunch of parents would prohibit their children from using contraceptives if they had total control.

The notion that it’s a school’s place to usurp the parent’s choices of how to raise the kid is the problem here. If the majority of the parents oppose that, the school shouldn’t do it. It’s a public school, it should serve the interests and desires of the public.

A majority of parents opposed integration, doesn't mean they shouldn't have done it.

Leave it to the left to liken freeing the slaves to coercing children into irreversible surgery.

My school taught me the difference between 'integration' and 'emancipation'.

And my school taught me the definition of consent.

I can’t turn on my lights… the future is weird

And that is why my lighting automation has a baseline req that it works 100% without the internet and preferably without a central controller.

HomeKit compatibility is a useful proxy for local API, since it's a hard requirement for HomeKit certification.

I love my Home Assistant setup for this reason. I can even get light bulbs pre-flashed with ESPHome now (my wife was bemused when I was updating the firmware on the lightbulbs).

This is an absolute requirement for all of my smart home devices. Not only in case of an outage but also in case the manufacturer decides to stop supporting my device in the future. My Roomba, litter box, washer/dryer, outlets, lights, and all the rest will keep working even if their internet functionality fails. I would like all of those devices to keep working for at least a decade, and I'd be surprised of all the manufacturers keep supporting that old of tech.

So basically it's just a toggle switch?

My lighting automation uses Insteon currently. My primary req is that they are smart and connected without needing a central controller o a connection to the internet. My switches all understand lighting scenes and can manage those in a P2P manner, without a central controller. The central controller is primarily used when I want to add actual automations vs. scenes. Even the central controller aspect works 100% disconnected from the internet though. I can easily layer on top any automations I like. For instance, I have my exterior lights driven my the angle of the sun. Then, on top of that I can add internet based triggers for automation as needed. This is where I add in voice assistant triggering of automation and scenes.

Edit: Just to add, very simple binary automations are even possible without a central controller. Like, I have Insteon motion sensors that trigger a lighting scene when they detect motion. These are super simplistic though.

Yeah, my christmas tree was fugazi.
