jondlove··on Ask HN: What options, if any, do you have when Google bans you?
I'm going through the same thing right now, I'm hoping this gets more responses; my ad account was brand new, but inactive for five months and suddenly I get a suspension for "Circumventing Systems", with no explanation of specifics.

Alas, every submission to the "appeals" form comes back with identical, seemingly-automated responses, and my Adwords onboarding specialist has yet to receive a response internally after a month of followups

jondlove··on A comparison of city building games
I appreciate the author mentioning 'Soviet Republic'; as a lover of city builders, it is my current addiction and I can recommend it as a great game if you are interested in both city building and logistics management.

The thread glosses over the "player builds everything" feature, but that's not the half of it: everything in your nation is open for your consideration: the buildings you construct; the food your people eat; the transport vehicles and fuel needed to run them - you can choose to set up supply chains all the way from extraction, to refinement, to manufacturing and export - or import the things (and manpower) you don't care about, at a cost.

Think "Rise of Industry" or OpenTTD meets Tropico, but you also need to source the resources and manpower to build your buildings, roads, and railways.

I also find the mod selection (namely a wide variety of buildings) to be quite an asset to the game

jondlove··on Ask HN: What Lived Up to the Hype?
At least as far as Steam goes, I've had reasonable success using Steam Link over Wireguard (since it's designed to be used locally); though I don't play games where lag is critical (like FPS's).

You could try wrangling 1440p144 from your hardware, not sure how high quality it can get

jondlove··on Py-Videocore: Python Library for GPGPU on Raspberry Pi
I like it (for otherwise generic names); it quickly shows which language the library is for, reduces name collisions, and makes Googling easier.
