>> My friends on the left think the only reason for voting trump is racism […]

> While saying the "only" reason is too strong, there have a number of studies showing it was a key factor

I'm not going to read all those links, so hopefully you ordered them by compelling-ness.

A racial demographic agreeing politically is different from racism. The black vote is fairly united on the opinion that Democrats offer a better option for black people. That isn't classed as 'racists voting for democrats'. Ditto hispanics. It follows that whites are voting as a racial block doesn't mean that whites are racist. And if they think Democrat policies noticeably favour blacks and hispanics then they are probably right, because that is what the blacks/hispanics think.

The study is fine, but it doesn't support "they're voting that way because they are racist".
Agreed. Aliexpress has some digital-to-6-channel decoders that work pretty well (and even support the more advanced codecs that are usually licensed by regular amps). Some of them even run Linux under the hood. :)

I would suggest using TOSLINK rather than HDMI as you can almost always extract TOSLINK from HDMI. Technically HDMI can carry more audio bandwidth, but I'm not sure where that might get used (if at all).

EDIT: I haven't specifically tested this one, but it's similar to one I've played with: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001491403444.html?spm=a2...
For one thing, the Steele dossier was hinted at but not actually released during the election. That's understandable, as it was a piece of opposition research. I read that the Steele dossier was delivered to the press for a while before Buzzfeed leaked it. Then it was discussed as news.

The news organizations were sitting on the document and afterward they said they were verifying its claims.
It's not just my bias. I'm sensitive to it, but I'm regularly added to mailing lists despite my express lack of consent. We all are.

I also regularly walk clients back from doing exactly the same thing. The perks in marketing don't give a flying French Fancy what the law is. They care about absolute volume.

I did a little exercise last year, took a screenshot of every order form I submitted. I reported a dozen companies to the ICO last year, with documented examples of companies wilfully ignoring GDPR regulations.

Yeah, I'm also fun at parties.
If your front end is coded correctly, you know every query, their exact shape and complexity, so you can optimize for it and you exactly what you optimize for. If you let’s say have a public api, you’ll have more control than in rest, no less, because it’s easier to reason about what your api users need. It’s a foundation, not a final solution. You have to do some work to get something from it beyond mediocre, I thought that’s obvious.
Not so much that (I think Q has thus far been mainly a US phenomenon, though it _is_ making inroads here apparently), but mainly I'm seeing stuff around covid being a hoax and/or a control ploy, forced vaccinations, tracking chip injections, Agenda 21, Bill Gates, etc. — all that stuff. It sort of makes sense in a group of people tending to favour "natural" stuff (some of whom were also antivax tbh) but it's been surprising how far it's gone, and how fast, with some of them.
His tax cuts, coupled with loosening energy regulations, led to a great deal more buying power for US consumers. Gasoline, heating oil, coal (clean) for electricity generation have the US a net exporter of energy for the first time in decades. Energy costs plummeted, putting more $ in consumer pockets.

That drove the economy to new heights. The US Unemployment rate was at all-time lows prior to the pandemic. Even now, it are already back into the 'marginally acceptable' range at 6.9%.
Russia gate, if anything its even more unhinged because it was on national news instead of blogs. It is one of those things that even a year later everyone involved is keeping really quiet about given how embarrassing it is to have believed it.

> The electoral college advantage doesn’t systematically advantage republicans

Indeed, which is why one would hope that solutions for moving beyond this creaky, janky system would be embraced in a bipartisan fashion. Sadly, the approach that is furthest along in that regard, the NPVIC (which I have issues with, but is still better than the current system) has so far only been enacted exclusively by states that Biden carried this year. Regardless of the fact that the electoral college does not inherently benefit the Republican party in the long term, the events of the past 20 years have sufficed to make them adamantly against any reform here.
Stop doing so many code reviews and start pair or mob programming. Write more code using TDD and with Hexagonal (or similar) Architecture to make code easier to test.

Code reviews are a poor use of time and don't solve the problems (quality, learning) that people try and use them for, or, if they do, it's very inefficient (as you're finding).

If you must do code reviews, review them synchronously with the author.
I have little doubt they will be worse.

The process isn't over yet (AP News opinion withstanding) but this wasn't really a victory for Democrats at all in my opinion assuming the probable happens.

The polls at minimum were very wrong which means either fixed or stupid take your pick.

We are going to see a lot of incidents of shady doings around the election (how could we not?) brought up over the next couple of months.

Biden and team won't really be able to deliver rainbows and ponies and may have to get quite authoritarian to quell dissent.

Trump leaves on a high note with a large amount of support and Republicans made big gains and greatly expanded the party.

A whole lot will have to go right for this to be anything like a victory for the Democrats. It almost would have been better for them if they let the chips fall and Trump take the rap for what's going down next.

These 10's of millions of people aren't going anywhere, they'll be even madder next time around and in the polls watching like hawks with court sanction. And Trump will be talking the whole time about the injustice and how he was railroaded. Rightly or wrongly people will listen.
Why is it inherently good? If we import 50 million poor people what do you think would appeal to them? Why wouldn't large groups just vote themselves access to other people's wealth? If 51% of people vote to steer a ship into an iceberg should this be accepted because of democracy?

Democracy is a religion, look at Singapore and China and compare them to the West.

There was a stretch of 40 days or so where there was no sun even in the Bay Area. It is very rare, but it has happened (circa 2006).
> Not fulfilling a non-binding obligation is also not a strong argument. It's a non-binding obligation for me to to wash my hands at home after touching raw chicken. It would still be irresponsible of me not to.

Well, if Trump thought it's such a good idea he should have pushed to make it an actual obligation with punishment when its not met.

Instead, he complained with the same misleading statements for 4 years straight.

He also claimed that other countries take advantage of the USA while not understanding that in exchange for not contributing as much, the USA has had (traditionally) more privileges when it comes to setting the direction of foreign policy.
Translation: all votes are equal, but rural votes are more equal than others.

Therefore it's "just" for a house, senate, and president representing a minority of Americans to raise taxes on urban Americans (70% of the economy), refuse to fund our infrastructure (HSR and the gateway project), and impose their religious beliefs on us.

These self serving arguments aren't convincing anyone. What urban America has actually heard over the last four years is that "when you have the voted, you do what you want," a lesson we have taken to heart.
If people do that on a large enough scale there will be collisions (i.e. the previous tenant will want to vote themselves, leading to this scheme unraveling real quick and no easy way for you to hide this fraud since you are living at one of the previous addresses of that last tenant.)

This cannot influence elections meaningfully and it is nonsensical to state that.
Right, it's infected the anti-vax and supplements community.
The gender pay gap is a statistic that requires some nuance to evaluate and I think your analysis is reductive. Yes, if you add in controls it lessens, but why? Why do women as a population have systematically lower levels of work experience? The pay gap is an assessment of how well our society is structured to allow people of both genders economic opportunities.

Shouldn't choosing to raise a family account for the experience gap? Yes, this is an example of one way that we've structured society so that women tend to have fewer career opportunities. IMO, there is not a good reason men (as a demographic) shouldn't be spending an equal amount of time raising children.
Definitely appreciate your contribution to the discussion.

Just a suggestion.

Maybe consider reducing the number of links, and posting the citation adjacent so we can see the title of the paper, and what journal it was published in before clicking. A brief tl;dr from the abstract would be magnificent as well.

Otherwise I'm just sort of taking on faith that whatever you posted will be worth the time to click on, and there's like 7 links there, so I'm just not gonna.
Yes absolutely. Mugabe of Zimbabwe is well known for illegitimately taking land from white farmers and forcefully redistributing it, and has been repeatedly called out for this. We shouldn't be surprised that when a President has more to do with Mugabe than Reagan that he will be called out on it.
There you go again, where’s subtlety gone in this world?!
The term "socialism" is thrown around a lot but I think it is most often used as a shorthand way to describe the desire to use the power of the federal government to address issues as contrasted with the desire to avoid using the power of the federal government. Broadly speaking "big government" approaches vs "limited government/free market" approaches, specifically with respect to the federal government.

In generally I think state government solutions don't receive enough attention in policy discussions.
That’s not even true. Stop thinking that way if you ever want this country to unite.
HDMI audio is a huge pain. Optical Toslink should be doable; you might be able to find the right board. But there's a lot more involved in doing the digital 5.1 decode and having more channels.
honestly passing around allocators is only a thing to worry about if you're a library writer, if you're a library consumer, just make a global GP allocator for your program, and pass that in when you need it.
Genuinely curious how you're hard pressed to understand how it happened. Are the GP's numbers wrong? Are you saying WI has been fraudulent for many decades but went undetected? Is there a component I'm missing?

Q is Jim Watkins, or perhaps someone close to him. He's the one who owns the site that Q (now, after the Christchurch shooting) posts "drops" on.

I seriously doubt anyone from Trump's orbit is involved. Qanon was a huge thorn in their side.
Yes.

Yeah, but I can't really recommend building D/A converters any more, except as a learning exercise. Even the cheapest off-the-shelf gear now has performance that will be difficult to beat for the DIYer.

This is somewhat disappointing for me as I have built many D/A converters over the years.
People are convinced because Trump tries to convince them using lies and deception.

Do you really think the right solution as a reward for those lies is to make it harder to vote?
Everything except these outliers. I have no doubt lock-in will die out in time there as well.
But don't state-run information filters exploit the gullibility flaw, not alleviate it? In other words, how do you tell?
That's a vulnerability, but there's no evidence it happens in any scale.

If it did happen in any scale, people would notice because the victim of fraud, when they tried to vote, would be notified that their ballot was duplicated or already mailed in. Also, note that the address ballots go to is the voter's registered address, and many ballots going to the same address would be noticed.

Anyway. This sort of vulnerability really does exist all over real human systems, and in reality it mostly doesn't matter. People usually don't do this sort of fraud en masse.

Online vulnerabilities can be exploited at scale easily by a single malicious actor, but human vulnerabilities, like dine-and-dash, or package theft, etc, are much more rare. They're illegal, which discourages most people, and to do any of them at scale, you need a lot of people... and one of those people is likely to report it. The human factor makes scaling it up much harder.

Intercepting a lot of voter ballots either requires them all to go to the same address (which will get noticed), or for you to steal them from many addresses (which won't scale easily per above and will be noticed). Either of those schemes will be noticed when a voter attempts to actually vote.
I volunteered as a Democratic poll greeter on Election Day with two women, a woman from Cincinnati who works for the NC government as an economist and an African American woman from New Jersey retired from Johnson and Johnson so she could raise her son who had a hearing disability and “blacks kids with disabilities don’t get the help they need in public schools.”

They both voted for Biden in the primary. I asked them why. Both said “because I thought he had the best chance to win the general.”

The Democrats keep picking centrists because we’re a centrist country, I guess.

I was going to vote for Buttigieg in the primary and voted Warren after he dropped out, but that was a symbolic vote since Biden had already locked it up.

I’ve recently shared my thoughts on how I think we got here:

There's no divide larger than 50/50 which is just about where it's at.
Try to be charitable. I read it as you don't have to change your taste, but you can develop some empathy.

If you don't try to understand someone you won't change their mind.
What’s so bad about that?
Being a avid user of functional programming and Zig, I don't find zig's syntax to be particularly bad for FP, though I don't typically program zig in an FP style. Could you be a bit more specific about what you mean?... (I have done this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fIxNEILcNGM)

And I have coded Zig in a style that resembles Elixir code, which is basically: "use a different style for casing, never use the self syntactic sugar".
I don't think your plan works. US manufacturing is too expensive without extensive automation. And automation won't feed workers.

We need to protect our lead in tech and information and attack China's chances of leapfrogging us. Protect our industries, protect democracy. Build up our allies. Build a stronger world.

The risk is that China becomes better than us at everything we do. Then what do we have? Being protectionist is anti-growth. Industry and innovation shut down.

A new cold war is coming. The sooner we get ahead of it, the better prepared we'll be.

The future is knowledge work. Manufacturing domestically is regressive. We need to put the supply chain in the hands of our developing allies.

We shouldn't want to train anyone to do menial jobs anyway. We're about to enter an era where we'll have plenty of creative, knowledge jobs for everyone.
This makes more sense to me than beaner's argument that minorities think they will directly benefit from Trump's policies. Also bear in mind that Trump previously fought against a Clinton, and the Clintons are supposed to be specifically popular among some ethnic minorities.
You must be from the UK or France, then. That means your country is very capable of designing and manufacturing world class weapons systems if you don't want to buy from the US.
Again, if you watch the full context he speaks to this. Trump believed there were people there who simply supported the statues. If he was wrong about that, it doesn't take away from his clear, full throated condemnation of neo-nazis and white supremacists. It means only he was incorrect about who all attended.
Adding the numbers is not the problem, the problem is what the numbers represent, where do they come from (if they come from only one place...) where and for what are they needed.

Quickly you have to consider different kinds of numeral systems, bases, decimal separators (which may be locale dependant), precision, units, the difference in adding time (or dates), or money in different currencies (with and without different kind of taxes), etc, etc, etc.

Sure most of the times you can abstract yourself from all this, use sensible defaults, whatever, but that complexity is still there and sooner or later it will get you, even if you try to hide it under the rug...
I understand the DIY allure, I really do (I do some electronics DIY myself - guitar pedals, tube amps, that kind of thing), but if you want to get great sound and save money at the same time, then just get a used QSC amp from Craigslist for $400 or so. It's better than pretty much anything you'll be able to build on your own for "reasonable" money, and it doesn't look "DIY".
I was under impression that class A amplifiers generally have the best amplifier characteristics (linearity, THD), and class D was mainly used in applications preferring efficiency/size/price over audio quality. Apparently class D has gotten lot better for the majority of applications.
It seems like a lot of money is spent on the power supply. Small Bluetooth speakers draw power from lithium ion batteries which are, in turn, topped up with a cheap external power source. I understand that you can draw very high current from these batteries even if only briefly. Why don’t high end amps use the same trick instead of these giant toroidal coils and smoothing capacitors?
As I said, you can argue the research is not conclusive, and I have read the above article. Pulling demographic data like that is challenging and we should all take it with grains of salt.

But you and I are not having the same type of argument that Trump is having. You are taking a reasoned and skeptical position. Trump is not. Trump is not going in front of his rallies and saying, "While the evidence doesn't yet support it, I believe for this and that reason that Mexico is sending rapists and such across the border." As far as Trump is concerned, no research is required. He already somehow knows, and he knows with such certainty that he will happily make unmoderated statements to thousands of people, over and over. To him it is self evident that the Mexican illegal immigrants are largely rapists and assaultive criminals. If he paid attention to the same evidence you do, he would moderate his statements--which he does not.

That fundamental disconnect with factual or consensual reality is why I find Trump abhorrent.

And thus the problem: There's no objective distinction between a "conspiracy theory" and a legitimate investigation.

So we have one side saying "You're caught up in conspiracy theories!" and the other saying "You're censoring the truth!"

How do you solve that?
I think we're on the same page here. Plus with the advanced digital codecs, you should probably just outsource it to the all-in-one chip packages.

I think there is some difficulty specific to Shopify here, as REST APIs go their original one was fairly sane and provided powerful features.

When their GraphQL API was released its data structures were similar but not identical to the REST API and some very important fields and features were missing which translated to a "90%" adoption by developers who needed those missing pieces. Additionally (and somewhat in keeping with points in the article,) they also introduced API versioning at this time which added a good amount of friction within the community.

More generally the issue with Shopify's GraphQL APIs is its lacking features (eg, list totals, offset pagination, object fields) which are (or had been) particularly important to the ecommerce domain and they've struggled to provide any meaningful alternatives.

As an example, developers working with ecommerce applications often have to process data en masse (fulfillments, inventory, etc..) and with the Shopify REST API and it's offset pagination these tasks were trivial to parallelise by simply chunking the workload based on the pagination method. In the GraphQL API offset pagination was removed in favour of cursor pagination which has no reasonable alternative to parallelise tasks in the same way, this requires developers to rewrite core logic and services for what may have previously been a very acceptable, efficient and most importantly working application.

The issue with Shopify's GraphQL API is not GraphQL itself, but rather the implementation of the API not meeting the requirements of the consumer - and the fact that those consumers were forced to switch to a different API without feature or even conceptual parity didn't promote feelings of joy or glee about the situation.

Personally I think their push for GraphQL was due to internal operational issues and their need for a more efficient system. This has been seen in their reasoning for reducing the timeout of an API used to fetch shipping options (from 10 seconds to 5 seconds) in preparation for Black Friday / Cyber Monday sales events, their announcement provided some developers less than a single business day to respond to the changes[1] which were dropped after community backlash and then changed to address the feedback.

A good technique for that is to encourage people to follow their own logic (by asking some simple questions if necessary) until they notice themselves that they arrive at absurdities.
I agree with the second sentence, I'm hopeful the first isn't true (although I see the worry). The stories I've been reading about who he's using as economic advisors give me hope.

But it all has to get through Congress too.
