Faced similar issues in both of the Go projects I've worked on, particularly the one that used Mongo as the database.

My conclusion from both experiences is that Go is a tool like any other, with its strengths and weaknesses, and with particular idiosyncrasies that make it particularly important to properly architect the application. It can punish you pretty hard[1] if you don't follow proper patterns, or the architecture you decided.

For instance, I think the issues were more pronounced with the project using Mongo precisely because of the flexibility Mongo offers, which allows to delay deciding on schemas, and thus means that the architecture itself can change constantly.

I was under the impression that, in general terms, the Black vote went for Biden and the Hispanic vote went for Trump.
I don't approve of any type of censorship.

Don't care if it's neo-nazis, islamic jihadists, cult-like evangelical christians, militant atheists, or the President.

All ideas should be allowed. Specific calls for action of violence/killing should be restricted, but Trump isn't doing that. I don't know why people think this is ok.
I was making a qualitative judgement. However, to your point election law differs form state to state so what you've said is nonsensical.

These are not mutually exclusive...

There is no doubt that Trump's presidency was tumultuous and there is no doubt that the race was indeed quite close.

But how often does your persistence model really reflect the domain model that accurately? In going from domain to relational at least, you pick up a lot of details that are key to relational modeling but are irrelevant to the domain model, as in the indexing here.

As best I can tell from my limited experience, GraphQL is just exposing the bones of your relational schema without giving it much domain behavior. It's the software equivalent of offering a grocery store full of ingredients when all the hungry person wants is a sandwich.

Exactly. USA may not get it because they never really had fascism, but some of us in Europe do. It’s not pretty. It’s not good for our national far-right parties to look at one of the most powerful nation in the world and think: “they did it, we can too”. Like I said in another comment, it’s not about US citizens thinking about other countries before casting a vote.

But it’s understandable that some of us non-US citizens are glad to see Trump go.

This didn't really address my questions. What scares Republicans about democrats?

Is it that I want poor and minority groups to be protected from exploitation?

Is it that I want religion to stay out of politics and wombs, and pay taxes?

Is it that I want white collar criminals to be prosecuted?

Is it that I want the failed war on drugs to end and get addicts actual rehabilitative care?

Is it that I want our decrepit infrastructure to get maintained?

Is it that I want people of color and women to be protected from hate?

Is it that I want poor and minority people to have the same opportunities as rich kids?

Is it that I want college to be affordable and lead to a better life instead of serfdom?

Is it that I want to get perverse incentives out of prisons?

I can go on. We can argue methods in other posts, but do these mere dreams scare Republicans? If so, why?
Biden doesn't need Georgia to win. Pennsylvania gave him enough electoral votes that he can lose Arizona, Nevada, and Georgia (assuming he wins the other states the media says he won)

This is a very interesting comparison that I had never thought of. When I started paying attention to politics in high school gay marriage was legalized (if still stigmatized) and I haven't heard many politicians (outside of old recordings) arguing against it.
Fact is that mail in voting has been banned in European countries and elections overturned because its much easier to cheat.

I would need more some statistical evidence. So far I have seen graphs pointing out how Biden's tally doesn't follow

"Michigan County Clerk Admits Voting Software Glitch "Skewed" Results, Trump To Gain 6,000 Votes

https://thefederalistpapers.org/us/michigan-county-clerk-adm...

This is going to go in front of the Supreme Court. Twitter should not be trying to hide the fact that one of the parties claims fraud. A huge number of people voted for Trump. Let him make his case.

My Gut instinct is that it is suspicious that some democratic counties got 90% turnout.
I would have thought it was obviously Geography. It's "Dominance" is because it's a peninsula located right next to Germany, which acts as both a customer and a "ballast" to even out the production swings from wind with its massive amount of coal burning and natural gas imported from Putin.
If thick neural networks would indeed exist they would probably be a special case of something Schmidhuber invented 30 years ago.

Thank you, captain obvious.
Trump will win this election because there is more than enough evidence of voter fraud in favor of Biden particularly in the swing states PI, MI, WI, NV. Here's some evidence of how the democrats are trying to steal the election: https://theredelephants.com/there-is-undeniable-mathematical...

Requiring ballots to arrive by Election Day is the only reasonable thing to do. Otherwise you leave open the possibility of fraud as has been alleged in PA with multiple USPS workers coming forward and testifying that they witnessed backdating of mail in ballots.

No, there are allegations of USPS workers coming forward from conspiracy boards. In truth, there were no such USPS workers testifying, or even claiming, any of that. Even FOX News and One America couldn't find any evidence supporting the existence of these supposed USPS workers.

And on another note: military votes have been allowed to arrive after election day since at least WWII. Are you saying that most of the military votes cast in the past 6 decades are fraudulent?

And on a final note: it hasn't been possible to backdate postdates for at least a decade, as the USPS records when mail is received separately and in addition to the postdate, and it isn't possible to backdate that data unless you have access to the USPS database. Considering that the USPS is run by a Trump appointee, it is very unlikely that Democrats have that sort of access.
Funny enough, the US usually supports a more European model of government when it does nation building.
It's also a lot of data to squeeze through a 250MB/s tube. 110+ hours to copy?
FYI, Fox News is controlled opposition. They were the first network to "call" Arizona long, long, long before it was over.

Anyway, the electoral college and only the electoral college determines the outcome.

Whilst I agree with the general sentiment, in this particular instance it has to do with the depth of network that could be trained efficiently thanks to hardware advances. LeNet was 7 layers deep, Dan's 9, VGG's 13, GoogleNet's 22, etc.

There is theory w.r.t to thick networks as well (e.g the link to Gaussian processes require infinite width).

Deep makes sense here.

The Newtype Pattern in Rust
I don't understand why Fox News accepted the outcome of the election so readily. No "this is rigged!", "stop the count!", etc.?

Does someone understand the power dynamics at play here? Is Trump not useful to Murdoch anymore? Or has Fox News always been a more reputable news source than I assumed?
No, and it won’t until December. However it is now clear that it _will_ happen. Traditionally, once it becomes inevitable, candidates concede.
Eh, 20k vote margins in states that used to be taken for granted is pretty bad. Not to mention the down ballot disaster this has been for Dems.
Yes, I'm aware. And Trump is talking of suing (claiming election fraud) as well, or so I understand.

My best understanding is this is not really settled yet. I'm guessing this may be a contributing factor to why some people -- not me -- are flagging these articles.

Articles get flagged by users. Unless someone doing the flagging is willing to speak up, speculation is all we really have and even having some people speak up doesn't mean we know all the reasons why people choose to flag a piece.
Sad, but not untrue.

I appreciate the pragmatism here!

Do you know of any articles or useful content around this?
I'm really not splitting hairs.

"Contributing back to the community" sorta implies you're opening a PR, following coding guidelines, writing tests even perhaps. What happens in practice is corps just hack everything together and rush stuff out the door -- no communities want those contributions. It's rare that these sort of releases contain anything novel or useful. Take a look at the OSS releases for Amazon's products (Echo, FireTV) and be prepared to be underwhelmed.
I don't understand why this is flagged. It's highly relevant to tech (particularly given trump's moves on Chinese tech firms and his treatment of social media) and from a legitimate source.
I still have issues with the high endurance cards. Bought two identical high endurance 128GB's for Pi4's. After 1 day of use each (with minimal writes beyond installing RPi OS), GParted could resize one partition, but the other failed due errors that couldn't be repaired with fsck.
> of all of the politicians who advocated for legalization of drugs, very very few got elected.

It has long been my opinion that if people voted on individual issues instead of representatives, this would be a very different country because no politician's views match the majority of the populace. So people have to pick best-of-the-worst, a politician whose views match a handful of the issues they care about, which creates a mess overall.

> For me GraphQL is the epitome (in the Web tier) of 'we need to solve the same problems as FAANG does'.

I work at a small startup. We use a REST and Redux architecture. It's worked very well for us, but we're starting to hit some pain points. As we look to re-architect, our list of challenges pretty much mimic the challenges GraphQL looks to address. These aren't scaling issues or "big company issues". In my opinion, they're core issues with every client-server code base.

* Client Data and Statement Management

* API Coordination and Versioning (even more complex if you have a public API)

* Payload Management and Relational Data (it can be very expensive to pro-actively return embedded/dependent data, so you need to manage it somehow)

* Caching and De-deduping

* Typing and Data Interfaces between Client/Server

* Error Management (not that hard to standardize, but still something you need to account for)

* Pagination, Filtering, Sorting, etc.
Australia controlled virus incidence with 3 key measures:

1. Widespread, free testing

2. Contact tracing so that every positive was tracked down and everyone who'd been exposed was isolated

3. Local lock downs wherever incident numbers rise too sharply, for as long as it takes to get the numbers down

There's no question America can do #1 and #2.

Can/will America do #3?

Trump appears to have done better with minority voters than any other Republican presidential candidate in recent memory, which will do something to counter the 'aging out' that you describe.
The elections aren't certified until a few weeks from now. The exact date varies from state to state. At that point each state selects its electors.

No electors have been selected yet.
As soon as I saw the word Deep I stopped continuing.

Nnets have always been multi layer since they were invented. That’s the whole idea of progressive feature extraction, and the analogy with biological brain. Theoreticians referred to them properly as nnets or multilayer nnets. Later experimentalists simulated them, thanks to the availability of the computing resources, and experimentally verified that a multi layer nnet can be more efficient than a single layer one. They added superficial terms “deep” and “AI,” “singularity,” etc., which the media and tech industry amplified for obvious reasons.

Why? The election was stolen from him. He should start issuing pardons as fast as he can sign them. Screw the next administration.
The election is a legal process and it's declared him the presumptive winner. Same as Trump on election night in 2016.

Everything else that happens are formalities, however important and necessary. Other than the 2000 election, we haven't waited this long to announce the next president following a presidential election.

And it isn't even close, Biden has more differential votes by percentage than Nixon, Truman, or Reagan.
If you're looking for something dead simple, I'd suggest Mithril. The API is tiny, but powerful, and will give you the tools you need to create reactive views that update to state changes.

The major downside to using highly unopinionated frameworks like Mithril is that the burden of project organization is on you. But since this is a personal project that you can use to learn FE development, I think it would be a good fit.
“it’s strange how legal fees are just under the cap or way over the cap with copious discounts, but we never see legal fees significantly under.”

Correct. My own experience: whatever value you negotiate the legal cap on your term sheet, that’s the bill you get.
The majority of both went to Biden, but Trump made gains over what he got in 2016 which was better than Romney in 2012. So there appears to be a path to improve minority showing for Republicans, depending on the Republican.
> but it continues to baffle me why we don't make fuller use of the multiprocessing capabilities of the processors we have today and the fortunes of RAM we have now, even taking into account that we are using higher level languages and not constantly profiling what we write for performance.

When I write parallel-first code in a fancy language, I find that I can get better absolute performance by just writing plain old single-threaded C. And when my data gets big, it is relatively easy to turn my C-algorithm-using-arrays into a C-algorithm-using-arrays-backed-by-mmap. Mmap is harder to use in every other language I've tried - or comes with additional worries.

And often a single-threaded algorithm is still the way to go, even in a multi-user system, because you can usually let the 'next layer up' multiplex the requests for you, whether it's your web framework or nginx or whatever.

I think that might be the way to make 'fuller use of the multiprocessing capabilities of the processors we have today and the fortunes of RAM'.
Via Twitter, I've asked them if they plan for this to work with SteamPlay/Proton.
Here's some evidence of how the democrats are trying to steal the election: https://theredelephants.com/there-is-undeniable-mathematical.... Hundreds of thousands of mail-in votes that arrive MI and WI at 4AM after election day and were just enough to change the outcome of the election. One of those mail-in ballot batches had 130,000+ votes, all of one candidate.
Whether or not it will happen remains to be seen. Certainly I won't deny that among the people who have faith in the media (Biden supporters) they are convinced it will happen.

False. These are not just formalities. Corporate media making their declarations have no weight whatsoever.

I think this very much remains to be seen. There’s a history of movements like this, essentially based around one figure and lacking a coherent ideology, crumbling once Dear Leader is perceived as a loser. It’s not inevitable that that will happen in this case, but it’s certainly plausible.

I would assume that most of his bluster about actually winning is aimed more at casting doubt on this in the minds of his followers than any realistic hope of overturning the process.
> Are we watching the same election? We just had an election with historic turnout and easy voting and Biden will have won by less than Obama did twice.

I won't comment on whether the US is red or blue or purple.

However, it's quite clear that the Trump administration specifically and the Republican party in general have been engaged in actively suppressing voters in general, and the democratic party's electorate in specific.

We're talking about an administration that, while fully aware that there was a disproportionate and significant amount of pro-Democratic party voters who depended on mail-in ballots to cast their vote, they did their best to:

* sabotage the USPS's ability to process and ship mail up to the election,

* enforce rules refusing to account for all mail-in ballots,

* and prop up their own electorate to vote in person to avoid the risk of their votes being filtered out by their sabotage campaign.

We're talking about a campaign designed to filter out votes to competing candidates, hoping to skew election results in your favor.

This is not how a party that values basic democratic values operates.
MongoDB, Sentry, Plausible Analytics et al. use GPL, AGPL or even stronger proprietary versions such as SSPL to prevent cloud vendors from using their products. Now imagine they used MIT instead, cloud vendors could rip them off without any contributions back.

This is exactly what happened even when they used AGPL, something that was thought to scare cloud vendors, but instead it wasn't scary enough, so these companies had to invent new proprietary licenses.
