There are a lot of states with a very small margin of victory for one candidate or the other, but most of these uncounted votes are not relevant there. The data is there, go look at it. 99,000 votes are from California and Hawaii, if all those votes went for either candidate it would have made no difference. 27,000 of them come from the Northeast, all of which were won by Biden enough that those votes won't make a difference. 22,000 are from Arizona which was won by Biden by around 100,000 votes, so again not going to make a difference. 23,000 come from mostly Gulf States and none of those would have swayed a state one way or the other. 30,000 from Salt Lake City, but Utah was decided by over 200,000 votes so no difference there.

This quick overview covers roughly 200,000 of the almost 300,000 uncounted votes. So now we're talking about 100,000 uncounted votes. I don't care to do any further comparison, but there are some uncounted votes for as-yet-undecided states like Georgia, Michigan, and Pennsylvania, and those may matter a lot. But it looks to me like none of the states that have been decided would be effected by these uncounted votes, one way or the other.

Again to reiterate for people who are down-voting me, I want all these votes counted, I want my vote counted, this is not the way to do democracy. But the numbers indicate _most_ of these votes would not sway a state one way or the other, so concluding from these numbers alone that a vote has been stolen is unfounded, so far.
I agree. They work fine for simplistic interfaces with a few buttons, but what about more complex widgets, like plain/rich/code text editors, that have a lot of different callbacks and fire many different asynchronous events?

Sure, a button function that returns a boolean can be used as a simple parameter to an if statement, but you would would need a switch statement to test for all the different events that a text editor could send. That's a terrible clumsy API! And where do you store the complex state of the attributed text, or parsed source code in a code editor? Do you just pass the entire string in every frame and re-parse html each time?

Where do you store and how do you access all the hidden state, like keyboard focus, cursor position, editing modes, etc, that object oriented user interfaces simply expose as properties, getters or setters?

And how do you implement an outliner? Do you have to write recursive immediate code that traverses the entire tree every frame? Where do you store the outline opened/closed state, per-item state, and the cursor position?

You can't just store that state in the actual objects you're showing in the outline, because that mixes your user interface layer with your data modeling layer. The cure is worse than the disease. You end up cobbling together your own spaghetti-coded special-purpose object oriented retained mode adaptation layer, just what you were trying to avoid by using immediate mode in the first place.

And how do you implement efficient scrolling lists or tables or spreadsheets containing thousands or even hundreds of thousands of items? Do you have to pass every single item through the API every frame, instead of implementing callbacks to only pass and cache the items that fit on the screen?

And how do you implement graphics editors? Or drag and drop previewing? Or popping up item specific menus and submenus when you right-click on a list or outline item? Or anything more complex than a simple button?

Objects and closures and asynchronous event handlers are the best thing that happened to user interface programming since the pixel. Use them!
Glad we got this passed. Still more work to be done nationwide on this and similar issues. As someone else mentioned, the auto industry ran disgusting ads claiming local mechanics will get your address from your car data, follow you home, and rape you. Here's a Vice article on it [0]; I can't find online videos of the ads anymore.

I wish we'd also passed ranked choice voting, but it did alright at 45% yes (93% reporting).

You're not pattern matching all auto-generated audio. You are pattern matching the audio generated by a specific algorithm. An attacker who has access to your microphone will know which laptop you have and what hardware it has.

This assumes an attacker is targeting you specifically since otherwise this is all moot (a broad attack could care less as to why your microphone is off).

Regarding cold start time; I am luke warm on golang, but I think lambdas / functions are one area where they shine. Start time is pretty quick for a golang function, and memory usage is low. Also, from what I understand it's one of the few statically typed languages supported on gcf.

I think my team will be shifting to use java more, just out of sheer familiarity, but golang works nicely for functions.

I don't see your argument here. Any decentralized solution wouldn't really help here if it wasn't used. And if it was used any decentralized solution would have helped even if it wasn't built into git.

Is the argument that if we bundled it together people would be more likely to use it?
The measure also included additional funding for addiction treatment.
> Many/most overdoses happen because the illegal supply has very uneven strength.

this is true, but opioids in general have a low therapeutic index (ie, the ratio between an effective dose and LD50 is rather low). even with a known dose, the risk of OD is among the highest of commonly abused drugs. in fairness, I should note that the therapeutic index for most opioids is close to that of alcohol. people die of alcohol poisoning every year (though far fewer than OD on opioids) despite the proof being printed clearly on the bottle.
I've been working on an updated version of the AboveTustin twitterbot code to work with the latest Piaware images, using chromedriver and tar1090, along with Josh Douch's free ICAO hex lookup APIs (I should be adding ADSBExchange support soon, but, hey kittens!).

It would not be reasonable for a commercial operation that makes money every minute around the clock. But they also need to build their systems differently to avoid downtime for reasons such as these. For a non-commercial organization, it can be different. It all depends on the value and cost of uptime/downtime.

A genuine expansion of the money supply might take time to reach consumers, but it WILL reach consumers. Thought experiment.

A crisis, COVID2029, puts everyone out of work for a year:

1) I print 9 trillion dollars, and allow 300 million recently-unemployed Americans to pay their mortgages during a global crisis. Crisis ends, and everyone goes back to work with 9 trillion new dollars printed. During the crisis, everyone gets a bag of cash, but there's no inflation. Crisis ends. Boom. As soon as everyone's back at work, the inflation kicks in, since there's 9 trillion dollars of new currency in play.

2) I issue zero-interest loans to 300 million recently-unemployed Americans, allowing them to push back their mortgages by one year. I've injected 9 trillion dollars into the economy, but I naturally suck it back out after the crisis. No inflation.
Yes you can. You don't want to. That's not the same thing.

Its been my experience over the decades that when people say, "I can't do "x"", they really mean, "Doing "x" is going to be really, really hard and I don't want to work hard."

I don't think this will be the case. But even if you assume it may, you can't let that possibility be a bugbear and that scares you away from doing what is right.
The challenge is that the raspberry pi doesn't have an analog to digital converter with enough bandwidth to sample the ADS-B data, or any way to downconvert the signal from 1090MHz to see it to begin with, so you are going to need hardware.

ADSB uses pulse amplitude modulation, so if you built or bought a downconverter and amplifier, you might be able to pick up the modulation by sending the downconverted/amplified signal to a GPIO pin and reading its state at say 5-10 MHz.

It'd be pretty messy and you'd have to write the demodulator from scratch, but might be able to pickup the frame decoding from one of the other products out there to actually read the content.

Would be a really fun project but not likely to save money and definitely not time.
If you are running your own receiver, you should see them on your map, especially if you are part of a MLAT network for calculating position data for aircraft that only transmit Mode-S data.

The key issue is ICAO hex to aircraft mappings, and there you'll need to either do a lookup against (often commercial APIs) or build your own registration database from public data.
I too got bullied in school. In high school I started practicing martial arts and also got on the hs wrestling team. What helped for me was that I gained confidence that if I was in another situation, I would be able to handle it. Another benefit being the physical training and the benefit to my appearance. As I became more fit, people were less apt to try bullying me.

Also, I came from a generation where most parents believed in "spare the rod and spoil the child". So, I learned from an early age that it was ok for adults to beat the tar out of you - and you weren't supposed to fight back.

I also suffered from the anxiety, and probably some ptsd. But through martial arts I got it under control and as I said, the confidence of knowing that I'd be able to fight back or defend myself goes a long way.
I can't speak much about your technical question, but I can provide some context as someone who's used eBird heavily for almost a decade. eBird does go down for maintenance (both planned and unplanned) every few months, but to my memory this is by far the longest maintenance window they've ever done and it has obviously been telegraphed months in advance and almost certainly planned for a time when the site saw lower usage (Mid November is the closest thing you'll likely get to a worldwide low point in bird migration).

They haven't made any announcements about what they're doing during this window, but I would expect it's a pretty monumental change or several large changes they've been holding off on for a long time. It's also worth noting that this is a fairly small non-profit operation. It might be possible to do what they're doing without taking the site offline, but perhaps it would require taking their devs off other projects for several months to make it happen?
I know tons of people who voted no for RCV simply because they didn't understand it or thought it was too complex.

Looking at
https://www.fpcomplete.com/

FP Complete appears to be downplaying "Functional Programming" and "Haskell", perhaps because they found it scares off customers. At the same time, they are drowning themselves in generic buzzwords.

Haskell is below Rust on their website, despite being later alphabetically. I suspect they are pivoting away from Haskell toward Rust.

Alcohol is definitely not more harmful to society than most prescription opioids, tobacco, meth, heroin, PCP, etc. The harm of each drug needs to be assessed on a per capita by user basis.

I don't exactly see how Rust can replace Scala where Scala is mostly used today. Or even Swift, despite Apple being more serious on the server-side roadmap lately and hiring a bunch of people from the JVM world.

Kotlin doesn't bring anything new and is full of ad-hoc design decisions, and Java itself is catching up (and even potentially surpassing it, see pattern matching for instance). I don't think it's a huge threat. Sure you'll see people who didn't really understand the point of Scala move to Kotlin because they just wanted a better Java really, and Kotlin does that well. But I think it's been clear that Scala shouldn't try to pursue this goal, for the past 5 years at least, after the hype around Spark cooled off.

I'm happy that Scala 3 is focusing on the biggest pain points. I'm also quite happy with the resources that have been added behind the tooling and ecosystem lately. The Scala center wouldn't exist if there wasn't a real demand for improvements in the mid to long-term future.

The idea that the Democrats have no platform beyond getting rid of Trump is ludicrous. The Biden campaign has been articulating specific policy positions for months now, and the Democratic National Convention actually passed a platform, while the RNC refused to do so, instead essentially saying, "We support Trump and whatever he wants to do."

This isn't both-sides-ism. It's straight up projection—the classic technique we've seen from the right for years now to muddy the waters.

If you are already committing crimes every day buying and possessing something, then committing crimes to feed the habit isn't a big jump. Conversely, if you haven't done anything illegal yet, most people will pay a hefty premium to avoid having to do anything illegal.

Nowadays kids apparently have some other proprietary learning programs on iPads and call that digitalization – they should rather be taught to differentiate between the tools and the knowledge they are trying to gain using those (the better students obviously will figure out themselves, though some might be discouraged by diving deeper into technical topics, but the teachers should get better training).

And most work places teach you not to think too much, if they hand you Google Docs, it's not really worth the fight to change anything, when there are greater issues like levels, bonuses and the next unnecessary layer of hierarchy being added with every reorg.
