Homomorphic encryption might be able to be used to demonstrate your vote has been tallied, but make it impossible to prove what you voted for. The problem with this being that you can't vote that your vote was tallied for what you wanted it to be. But that is also a problem with the counters. A malicious counter could "miscount" a vote as another vote.

With the rise of static sites I'm not sure why something like this isn't much more common. Would love to see more options like this. Maybe eventually (not holding my breath) different git hosting providers will allow exporting to formats and importing to ticketing formats, so you can go from cloud to local instance or vice versa, or store tickets for mirror purposes.

Maybe someday git projects will have a /tickets folder or branch? Tickets per branch... hmmm... Maybe ignore the ones not in Master

Everyone studying could give back to society in some way. It doesn't really need to be related to the degree, honestly. I'd expect this to be paid work, though, because most folks can't just go without income for 1-3 years giving back to the community. This would simply wind up being civil service work for the most part.

Most folks can train as a CNA and do some sort of home health care, for example. Most folks have the ability to work in school kitchens, provide janitorial services for schools, hospitals, and government buildings. Many folks have the capacity to work in day care centers, as substitute teachers, bringing meals to the elderly, mowing lawns for folks that need it, different sorts of service for parks and other public places, and so on.

You can specialize this for some areas: Art degrees? Make beautiful areas. Theater? Free to the public plays. Language degrees? Help out at community centers or translate for folks that need it.

These things allow for necessary training - like plumbers, electricians, car mechanics, business managers, and so on - that aren't traditionally the "give back to the community" sorts of jobs, yet are pretty good to have. Including all sorts of schooling allows for a better educated, well-rounded society in general. As a bonus, the civil service will give folks a chance to be around people they might not otherwise meet.

We can do this before, during, or after college. Part time or full time.

I'd also exempt some folks. Doctors, nurses, teachers, and anyone else in such roles - the folks that by the nature of their jobs, give back to the community and are better off simply doing their jobs as soon as possible.

This looks great! I'll very much consider using it for my next project, if only for the warm feeling in the stomach that my bugs are close to the project itself. Huge kudos to the author.

The one thing that I'm not sure about is the separate `git bug push/pull` commands. I guess it makes sense, but I'd prefer ordinary `git pull/push/fetch/merge` to seamlessly handle syncing bugs around.

Awesome for personal projects or those startups with teams composed primarily of developers. But I wonder if the nature of embedding the bug reports in the repo makes it largely inaccessible to your typical QA and support personnel who tend to open the most tickets at larger organizations?
I had a colleague who used to use variable names from his local language in India (we were working in Europe at the time). So hwndParent would become hwndBaap. This combines both the hungarian and the local language strategies for job security.

Fortunately, he stopped programming and became very successful in agriculture. Good outcome for both fields.
I've had this experience with a bunch of popular Django-related projects recently, where they stop receiving regular PR review and releases. Keeping up with Django's release cycle then requires digging into the bug trackers and forks for common dependencies. It's totally understandable for that to happen, when even popular projects rely on the volunteer effort of one or two people.

One model I'm curious about is https://jazzband.co/, "a collaborative community to share the responsibility of maintaining Python-based projects." Not sure how well that works in practice, but it would be great for something like that to crack the maintainer-burnout problem.
I love Firefox for the same reasons, along with really nice privacy plug-ins (cookie bro is a super nice plug in for blacklisting all cookies and only whitelisting sites you actually log in to).

If a manager is turned off by "motherfucking website" do you think you will enjoy working for that person/company?

If you arrange your portfolio site as mostly completely professional and then have a "beer coding fun projects" category it should just show you have a sense of humor and like tech enough to do stuff outside of work. If your "beer coding" section is going to be the majority of your site then maybe you should have a separate site for that content?

Usually hiring managers won't check out blogs or github until you have made a shortlist of some sort. The resumes left are people that match the criteria, they are interested enough to schedule an interview. So it would have to be really offensive or something demonstrating poor character to eliminate you at that point.
Leg day is very important! I've recently taken up exercises to fix the effects of contracted hip flexors (planks, leg raises, etc) and have seen my posture improve significantly.

I think that there are lots of people who could do a better job than Elon Musk but they will never have the opportunity to prove it.

Um... we do kind of need some research doctors. It might not be traditional practice, but how else are we going to advance medicine? I would think similarly about doing things with a healthcare startup - doctors are in the unique position of understanding medicine to a degree that makes it more likely to base the startup around actual facts instead of simply hiring a practicing doctor as a consultant for the project.

There are more roles in medicine than simply delivering care.

While I wholeheartedly agree with you:

1. Everyone I know already hates their cable/phone company

2. The ISPs don’t pretend to be a force for good, or not be evil, or allow you to have privacy controls

What's weird is, I have 8G (edit: it did say megs -- of course I have more than that :-) ) of memory and no swap. Never OOMed this machine in 3 years of development work. My colleagues run out of memory constantly. Sometimes I wonder if there isn't some other problem that isn't obvious. I run a very tight ship -- nothing runs on my machine that I don't know about. I'm going to go have a look at the Patreon page and see what happens...

Edit: Apart from being able to confirm the less-than-stellar performance problems, I had no trouble with memory at all. Chromium hovered at about 2G of memory. It fairly aggressively garbage collected as I browsed different sections and different creators.

Most likely tracking down what originally populated the variable and how it's used. I'm assuming the code base was large and spaghetti like.

I'd say it's somewhat akin to proving a negative. Sure you get that it's a const, reference and function argument which likely refers to the Last Name Column. However is that all it is? Or is there more meaning in the name? Meaning that could be crucial to understanding how the application functions? Does one of the characters mean function reference or does it refer to something else? Apparently not in this case but how can you know without investigating?
That is a profound framing of the device. Thanks.

git-bug store the data in separate references that are not in `refs/head`, so they are not recognized as branches. This is meant to not pollute the normal code workflow.

git push/pull doesn't touch references outside of branches and git-bug has special code in the push/pull commands to merge bugs when needed.
Actually in a divorce scenario, FAFSA only requires information about the custodial parent’s household (so if you’re independent you can effectively choose which one).

Unless you are the employer, or at least the hiring manager, the decision ultimately isn't yours, regardless of leverage, so you have to care about how a change would affect the employer or hiring manager, if you want them to make that change take-effect.
The expense of medical school makes going unreachable for a portion of people. The pay comes later, after all the schooling is complete, and then paying back the loans can still be a burden. From what I have seen, anyway.

And yes, there are other professions equally necessary. To be fair, though, most of those jobs don't require the same level of debt either, and are more obtainable by folks with lower incomes pre-schooling.

It was eye opening to me when there was mention of a 2 TiB map being created and something about 128MiB chunks. I'd just like to smack the person that thought that was a good idea. I can understand thoughts like "but the blocks won't actually be allocated" or some such, but you have to step back and say "WTF are you even doing with anything that large?" Control freak.

And yes, web browsers are becoming an OS on their own. I consider that a failure of the underlying OSes we have. Tabbed browsers are awesome, but they exist because OSes and standard desktops (GUI toolkits) didn't come up with decent ways to handle that. Browsers are also trying to implement fine grained access to resources - because our OSes haven't managed to do that for them yet. Memory management? I have no idea why you'd do that in ANY application software today. Actually there is a reason - people don't trust the OS or think they can do something better, but it ends up creating extra complexity. Complexity is categorically bad and should be avoided unless it's the only way to do something. Remember how X got its own memory and font management? Same thing.
I suspect you're correct,

One implication of you being correct though is how we should react to things that subtly move the culture one way or the other,

I think this depends on the kind of creative venting one usually tends to do and the kinds of silly projects they work on.

I think the charitable way to interpret your counterparty is that Simone's criticisms of Nietzsche are long, nuanced, and difficult to summarize, and that Nietzsche himself is long, nuanced, and difficult to summarize. It is not worth the effort to do so for either case, especially considering that a partial or failed effort lacks depth and invites criticism (as already demonstrated, but unfairly).

> Poland was liberal for it's time

It depends on how you define liberal. For example, Afganistan, Somalia, the Ukraine are very liberal nowadays: weak central government, weak central censorship, weak currency. Instead, warlords and gangs having the same functions – but it can be treated as liberal and democratic construction - you can always do the same and everybody has equal rights (kind of early US).
If the weight is prohibitive in mobile applications (cars, portable electronics), this technology could be applied to stationary battery needs such as battery backups for local power grids or even a per-home basis.

> he bought in and kicked out the real founders

I was curious about this so I went to the Wikipedia article...

> The company was founded in 2003 by Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning, although the company also considers Elon Musk, JB Straubel and Ian Wright as co-founders.[1]

The [1] linked article (https://www.cnet.com/news/tesla-motors-founders-now-there-ar...) details a bizarre and complicated situation. It seems that Musk was declared to be a founder of the company retroactively as a result of a lawsuit related to the thing you described.
Thanks a lot for posting this, I had never encountered Poland in history classes (French edu system) except for the 20th century history parts, and had no idea about either the Union in itself or its political system. We heard a lot about the Italian quattrocento, as it lead up to the French Renaissance, but of what was happening in Poland, not a peep. In the same fashion, we didn't hear that much about even the holy German empire, as history in France is taught in a very French-centric way from the fall of the Roman Empire up to the 1st world war. I think it would do us a world of good to approach history in a more global fashion, paying less attention to rote learning of chronologies, and hearing more about the stories of ideas and peoples throughout the ages.
Honest question, why would you trust it more if it had a page that says, in a nutshell, "you can trust us because we say you can trust us"? That is something I always wonder when someone brings this up. Is there some component of international contract law that makes self proclamations of trustworthiness legally binding?
As an example I found on a moment's googling, I'll just quote you part of the conclusion from this article:
(https://eh.net/encyclopedia/the-economic-impact-of-the-black...)

The European economy at the close of the Middle Ages (c. 1500) differed fundamentally from the pre—plague economy. In the countryside, a freer peasant derived greater material benefit from his toil. Fixed rents if not outright ownership of land had largely displaced customary dues and services and, despite low grain prices, the peasant more readily fed himself and his family from his own land and produced a surplus for the market. Yields improved as reduced population permitted a greater focus on fertile lands and more frequent fallowing, a beneficial phenomenon for the peasant.

Well that is just a vast misrepresentation and distortion of the facts. The idea of landing boosters came about from spacex wanting to pursue reusable orbital vehicles from the beginning. Now spacex never wanted to acquire Russian engines. Where this russian connection comes from is before Elon started spacex, he wished to buy a few Russian ICBMS to launch a small greenhouse project to mars. The idea was to spur interest and investment into a mars program. This was back in the early 2000s and the russians basically laughed him out the door.

From this, Elon founded spacex thinking he will build the rockets himself. A founding tenet of spacex was to decrease the cost of access to space. To achieve this, they set about trying to reuse rockets in the very the beginning. Their first rocket, the falcon 1, had parachutes on board to test first stage reusability. Later, on the first 2 launches of their falcon 9 rocket they again tried using parachutes. It became apparent that using parachutes wasn’t working and so, in 2011, they began the grasshopper program to practice their rockets propulsively. Within 4 years from the start of the program, spacex was successful and had landed a first stage from a rocket launching a payload

To suggest it wasn’t part of the original inception of spacex or it was just an off the cuff response is blatant exaggeration. Listen, Elon has quite a few problems and in my opinion he should not be in charge of the day to day management of his companies. He should be the ideas man, pushing the companies vision and letting others get bogged down in implementing his ideas.

Sleek Artificial Intelligence Techniques Improving Your Conference Quality
Any time I read C/C++ code, I am under the impression it was written to be illegible.

I realize that with time, functions like `malloc` become second nature, but why not call it `allocate_memory`? (bash suffers from this too) It's even worse when reading the source code of old video games due to the abstract nature of the operations being performed on virtual representations of visual elements.

The argument of time constraints when authoring doesn't hold much value. Java is verbose AF but it's also one of the most used languages. Second, most code is read, not written and should be written to be read by others, not just the author.

There may be a reason to be terse due to time constraints and lack of IDEs/autocomplete or memory constraints or w/e, but the need to shorten variables names and functions today only serves the whims of the author, not the 10+ future readers. tinyrant :D

I personally think of entertainment as something that's enjoyable but doesn't directly advance my goals at getting better at something I prioritize. Which means entertainment is different for different people. Most people would regard movies and TV as entertainment, but for a journalist or critic, it might not be. Obviously this is on a spectrum, where binge watching TV could be pure entertainment, but playing volleyball casually would have a physical component that would add additional value, even if you're not looking to improve at volleyball.

Also want to state that I don't think entertainment is a bad thing, no one can go 100% all the time. I do think it's important to think about what we do with our time and make that choice honestly.
I have an addition to writing unmaintainable code.

Only have one struct with a member of every type. That one struct will be the type of every variable you have.

If the language you use support implicit operator overload abuse them to make sure all types can be implicitly converted to each other.

Ex.

struct Variable
{
byte a;
short c;
int d;
long e;

...

}

This will make it impossible to know what type a variable is until you find its assignment, which of course isn't on the same line as the declaration and even better reuse the same variable for multiple values.
