I think we're forgetting the real reason: Republicans are aggressively fighting in courts to make counting votes harder, and to stop counting votes after a certain time. If both parties worked towards the common good instead of taking a "by any means necessary" approach, we'd have such a better country.

The article is skimpy on evidence that other countries have perfected an efficient, trustworthy voting process. I guess the main argument is that countries that can get all the votes in by a specific deadline are more trustworthy?
Right, but they mentioned sending immutable structs which is why I gave the struct example. But you're right that every declared map is a just a pointer.

With respect to your second point, I see what you mean but I still don't think that's a negative of Go. You can pass in copied values without having to have a deep_copy() primitive (loop map values and copy to new map, dereferencing a pointer, etc.). Like other parts of Go, if you want to make your data immutable there is no syntactic sugar. You have to explicitly write it out.
If there's one phenomenon that marks the modern era more than any other, it's the replacement of the relational with the transactional.

He mentioned having permission, but not by whom nor any assurances that said permission was appropriately disseminated to all relevant parties internally or appropriate lines of communication established to someone with the authority to expeditiously intercede in the case of issues.

As I said, such a situation could have occurred due to a miscommunication/misunderstanding, rather than taking a deliberate stance to prosecute him. A team (or member on said team) or some automated system unaware of that permission could have flagged the fraud and involved the authorities. Communication silos are a fact of big businesses. Politics and power tripping executives are too, who may decide whoever gave such permission didn't have the authority and push ahead anyway for whatever reason. And inflexible legacy systems are too, which may trip some automated fraud detection system that automatically triggers a legal reaction.

The charges may have ultimately been dropped when everything got sorted out, or a judge could have dismissed the case based on the permission he was given (if the situation got to that point). But that's not for the law enforcement agent serving your warrant to decide, his job is just to bring you in. And in the event that happens, it's far better for your lawyer to already be prepared on how to address the situation than only getting them involved at that stage.

This seems to be an interesting and common problem (is there is a name for that?). If ribbons or additional pcbs are out of question, maybe a specialized / dedicated IC (I would describe its function as topological-only / electrically null) would work, I wonder if such ICs exist.

I just worked the polls in Pennsylvania - the new voting machines are pretty great. You get a paper ballot, you insert it, you use a touchscreen to make choices, the machine prints the ballot with your choices on it, shows it to you behind plexiglass, you check over it for correctness. If it's all good, you hit done and the ballot is pulled in to a hopper. If not, you can redo. You get a machine count instantly at the end of the night, and a paper ballot trail for recounts that are voter-checked.

Apparently other locations had some problems with paper jams from the ballots, but at least my operation had 3 machines and could have easily handled our voters with just 2 active without resorting to hand-filled ballots.

The only real difficulty is the absentee ballots which were obviously a new effort (at this scale) lacking infrastructure. And they were prevented from processing any ahead of time. I think calling this "dangerous" or a "disgrace" is, in fact, blatantly disgraceful and dangerous.

Why should he pay a lawyer so that Chase can benefit (from protecting its assets)?

This story is exactly why the newer fintech startups will take over banking.
This is simply disinformation. The "inability to count votes" in many of the swing states this year was due to their Republican legislatures refusing to pass legislation allowing for the absentee ballots to be counted as they arrived, leading to a backlog after the election that they thought would make it easier to challenge these votes in court or to raise doubt about the outcome of the election. As we do every year, we will count all the votes, and each county and state will do their final canvass and report the results by the legally mandated deadline.
I'm not bothered either. I think one reason this comes across as an "issue" is that a majority of the public believes that "election day", the event, or holiday, or whatever you want to call it, is the day on which a new president is elected.

This narrative is pushed by tradition, news media, and the politicians themselves (if it's in their interest). I think we need to separate this narrative in two separate days; one day is Voting Day, the day on which everyone who wants to participate in voting must have their ballot mailed or submitted, and Election Day, which should be a month later, after all votes are counted, where the official results are published, and we accept a new president.

This is good for the American people, in that it's reliable and clearly defined, good for the media, because now they can have a month long headline where they hem and haw and speculate about who will win, and good for the politicians, in that there's time for a smooth transition.
Many Californians would willingly work in 1900s factory conditions with machines eating body parts and people passing out from exhaustion because that's the only work they can get.

To have consistent federal elections would require an erosion of state sovereignty. Is this something that would receive bipartisan support after this week?
I don't think so and any responsible steward of history would also disagree. The point is to spread power out, rather than concentrate it.
> Well not necessarily, if you are like 1-2 devs it's really hard to manage to make such a web application if it's a complicated one. And for what reason? So that you can cater to the 0.00001% of the users because they hate javascript for no other reason than that they hate it?

Just like mobile-first doesn't mean (or shouldn't mean) "only mobile" but rather "write with the smallest screen in mind and then add features for bigger screens", you can first write the basics of the site using pure HTML and then put the JavaScript on top. It's not much more effort if done consciously.

> Maybe not you, but I certainly use my browser for that kind of purpose as one example of several that won't work with javascript disabled.

But that's not really relevant to the argument here. The author of the article doesn't say "all websites including those that mimic native apps should work without CSS and JavaScript" - that would be nonsense of course. Certain web-based apps will simply not work at all without JavaScript, that's fine, and it's fine if that's a reason for some person not to use them. But personally I think that websites (in particular those that are not "apps") should provide as much of their functionality as possible without requiring JS, where it's doable. A photo editing app certainly doesn't fall into that category, I think everyone is aware of that.

> Yeah maybe having an alternative for drag n drop helps disabled users but just removing javascript doesn't help them at all.

That's also not what I said and it wouldn't be graceful degradation. I'm all for having JavaScript that improves the usability of the site, as long as disabling it (or network failure preventing it from loading) won't break the site as a consequence. That, I think, is the key point here.
I really don't think this is about a tradeoff between time and reliability.

Other developed countries have, for decades, reliably given results within hours of polls closing, without "automation or obscure technology".
Time to results is a factor in the credibility of the results, just as auditability and transparency.

International election observers regularly raise concerns about protracted and drawn out election counts in less developed parts of the world. I wonder how they would report on US elections.
Many people I talked to were completely misinformed on what this measure entailed. All 5 people I talked to about this proposition thought a yes on 22 would guarantee minimum-wage and health-care for gig workers. Tiny sample size, and perhaps lots of other people were similarly corrected by other friends before voting, but I found that rather odd.
Don't forget that 300,000 votes are currently unaccounted for: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/investigations/2020/11/0...
there are 100 things which are disgraceful about the american electoral process. Whether or not the votes are counted in one day or three is probably the least important of all of them.
Employment and work are not always the same thing.
Not every person using drugs is addicted. Let's not make that kind of claim.
It seems counterintuitive that there isn't a subset of the population who is dissuaded from drug use because of the danger (that could be danger of getting robbed or killed while purchasing, danger of arrest, danger of falling into addiction, whatever), and thus counterintuitive that making things safer wouldn't have at least some increase in use. Certainly there are more per capita marijuana users in Colorado than Wyoming, right?
Another gotcha is that a statement must follow. The following is an error:

>The Assembly's job is to pass bills that positively benefit California as a state and as a society long-term.

While also ensuring that what they're passing is what members of their state want. If they're not sure, you should not pass that thing. If the state needs the benefits of that thing (and that need is backed by research), then they should go about finding another way to acquire the benefits that has public approval. That's the entire point of a democracy
I'm actually much more bothered by the fact that people can start voting 1 month before the actual election day, or that votes can be counted and communicated before the election day.

Before moving to the US, I voted a few times in a different country where the rules were simple: one election day and absolutely no polls/estimations/etc communicated in the media during the last 48 hours before the election day.
I love Discogs. They're such a great site for everything that they offer.

Discogs not only has an API [0] but they also provide regular database dumps for free [1]. Last year, I converted tjeir database into SQLite and queried it in various ways to discover new artists or releases that I might be interested in. Ultimately, I realized how much of my favorite music was put out by labels that were headquartered in UK flats that have since been re-leased.

Yes. There are developed countries without a minimum wage. Having a floor only limits labor’s ability to find buyers.
I think part of the expectation that results be instant is just that things have gotten faster: I can stream any movie I want instantly -- why do I need to wait to see who won the vote? It's complicated and complicated things take time.
This reads to me as:
`Foreigners ability to count votes is an international hero and needs to be honored!`

Flagged for trolling. US is holding 50 independent elections during a pandemic. Refusing to let a central authority count all the votes is a feature, not a bug.

You really think Github will giveup respecting DMCA and copyright infringement? Your example is nice, but it's about the copyright stand of a number... it's much more grey than respecting an actual DMCA notice and being aware of actual copyrighted content on your platform.

I don't think so... instead what I expect would most probably happen is that they automate it even more, which will suck even more. We got enough damage already from Youtube doing it...

>Devices are eventually going to segregate themselves onto their own networks: 2.4 GHz for legacy / low-cost / IOT, 5 GHz for data rate, wigig/wifi 6/etc for extreme data rate.

That would be rather annoying. Wifi is so usefull because you can connect everything to the same network. Especially when most consumers are oblivious to any computer architecture design decisions. And can you really expect someone living in a tiny apartment to purchase three network types? (2.4; 5ghz; wifi6) or one expensive device with all three technologies? Communicating data rates and transmission power will be the way to go I believe.

If I can hook up a printer to a network switch then that's what I usually go for. And pray that the printer actually works.

The biggest issue is this ridiculous heterogeneity.

Canada is no less of a federal country with devolved decision-making powers, perhaps even more so. And yet we have one system of casting and tallying votes, presided over by one federal electoral commission, which reports to the parliament and not to the government. It was set up in 1920 and worked out very well for us, delivering 100 years of bullshit-free elections.

Sometimes countries adopt different laws and you cannot unequivocally say one is better than the other. But sometimes, like here, one way is clearly, unequivocally superior. This is too important to leave to amateur hour and should be done right, Canada's way.
Music consumers across multiple generations, while supporting artists, have expected a certain degree of freedom with the music playback technology placed in their hands. Whether it was recording a custom mix-tape for a special friend full of copied tracks or ripping a stream to play back on demand, there are certain things that most people see as reasonable and harmless.

RIAA made a habit of attacking things seen as reasonable and harmless and has earned a reputation for being unreasonable and harmful. Musicians deserve better. Ultimately, they are the bosses here. Perhaps someday they'll start acting like it.
The Lenovo P52 models I ordered for my company have a physical slider that covers the camera. This is the 100% sure way nothing can see out of it. Too bad the microphone doesn't have the same level of assuredness. But it's also Lenovo who's already been caught doing hardware spying so...
It's also difficult to even define consistency, as there are value judgements involved. We don't agonize about my freedom to have a flaming pool of gasoline in my front yard, because no one really thinks that is a worthwhile thing. But we argue a great deal about the balance between things like gun ownership and gun violence, because people value both lives and that freedom quite highly.
And increasingly religion, especially all but one religion.
I've had many people suggest just reading the figures, but I've found that most scientists hide their sins in the methods section, and the figures cannot be properly interpreted without careful inspection of the methods (which often demonstrates the authors didn't really do a good job).

Also, I've noticed that a very large range of papers with faked image data in figures has gone unnoticed by most readers. People look at the figures hoping to see what they want to see and aren't critical enough about the process used to generate them (when I wrote my phd thesis, all figures were programmatically generated by version-controlled code on well-managed data.

There was a period of years between when the no-fly list was instituted and when there was a system of relief for people who were placed on it erroneously.

This is really just supporting my point that you do NOT want the government involved in the system at all.

You still can’t get off of the no-fly list (even if you haven’t been convicted of a crime!) if the government wants you on it and you weren’t listed by accident, “redress number” program or no.

When we can't deal with issues openly, especially mental health issues, we often see the "tough" route promoted.

That would be "rock bottom" in your anecdote.

It means delivery boys won't be at risk, but someone along the line has to have a large supply or shipping costs become untenable. Since almost all the risk goes away, those delivery boys pay will drop drastically too. I wonder what effect that will have? I suspect like all organized crimee that they'll move on to other rackets.
Personally I don’t care about beautiful code or “good programmers”. I care about making something helpful and useful, maintaining it over time, taking users’ feedback to make it better. Writing fancy looking code is so much easier than all that stuff, it’s academic really.

I can't tell you how much I would rather write a bunch of code than conduct user research, or read the feedback to see where we need to improve. Because coding is so much easier than doing those things.

But doing those things is more valuable, because the value is in the artifact, the thing that the code is in service of. Beauty, or any other value, in the actual code itself is inert, it's dead. It has no worth unless it solves a problem for someone, or is instructive for a coder who's learning how to solve a problem for someone.

The exception to what I'm saying is that the code must be legible, people need to read it and understand what it does. But that is not beauty; beauty is an aesthetic proposition, legibility is a utilitarian proposition. Longer, more verbose code is better than "elegant" concise code, if the longer code is easier to understand.

What would impress me would be two SDRs, one monitoring ADS-B and the other tuned to VHF, pulling down the ATC radio transmissions, recognizing the speech, deducing the tail numbers, and then visually associating them with the ADS-B traces on the map. Now that would be impressive! I've had VHF and ADS-B on my roof for the past few years but never got around to doing the speech parsing.
