How nice! It has been a few years since I started thinking of doing something similar. I have used Turbo Vision a lot in the past, both within Turbo Pascal and Turbo C++. This project seems very solid: I enjoyed reading how much care was spent in dealing with UTF8 encoding!
No, scan the full paper ballots with personal info redacted and make them publicly accessible so anyone can count the result.
I sometimes think about this in terms of warfare. Everyone who has memories of a war survived it, and this factors into deciding whether the next war is worth it or not.

Nobody asks the people who died in the war if it was worth it.
> ... CSS didn't even exist yet.

> I don't think anyone is suggesting that vcenter or something like it should have existed at that time.

Uh, this subthread started with exactly that question:

> It boils down to the simple fact that intuitively when we've had <center> forever, why couldn't there have been a <vcenter> from the beginning? Not even broken, it never existed. It's as if we're being told, "horizontal centering we'll handle, but vertical centering is for you to figure out". Err, why? And figure out based on the tags and attributes provided. Like, they implemented the puzzle but not the solution.
> in practice you have complex sales channel configurations and contractual agreements. If Best Buy is selling your GPU at $400 because that’s the agreed upon MSRP

Just to be clear, you cannot contractually obligate a vendor to sell your product at the MSRP. (Or any other price.) That's the whole reason the term is "manufacturer's suggested retail price".

>They are in fact bleeding.

>Clear writing is about structure, not verbosity or repetition. Concise-and-clear is preferred over verbose-and-clear.

Except this is where the contradiction lies. In both well written literature and great text books... clarity trumps all even when conciseness is sacrificed. English is one of the most verbose languages out there. I can take your sentence and make it concise:

>My eye bleed.

>Writing about struct. No verbose or repeat. Short n' Clear beter den wordy n' Clear.

Is that better? Your misguided logic paints my concise version of your comment as "preferred" even though it has the exact same clarity. The stark reality is, for purely human reasons, people prefer the former example over the later and there is no real rationality behind it.

Try to think a bit outside of the box here. You share the biased and delusional opinion of a typical average programmer.

The real logic is, that the conciseness or verbosity is inconsequential. Our human nature allows us to prefer contradictory approaches in code vs. english because verbosity and conciseness doesn't actually matter that much. Clarity is king by a long shot hence the reason why most humans prefer reading literature over code.

My code displays the ultimate clarity. You insultingly claim that your eyes may be bleeding, but I guarantee you that unless you're mentally deficient, no part of my code was unclear. It was 100% obvious and crystal clear what my intentions are. The best part is, you only need to read it one time.

When is the last time in your life you've read a similar snippet of unfamiliar production code at first glance and left with the exact same level of clarity? Most similar production code needs a good number of guesses and hypothesis and a couple of reads and code following to develop the same level of clarity and confidence of understanding that my code can produce on a SINGLE reading.

I would wager we can agree on that point and if your claim otherwise I would wager that you are lying.

Was it carefully designed? That implies a very direct, conscious decision. Or was it designed by someone to whom design is not vital, and it worked out because everyone similar tends to think the same?
Because it doesn't create money. Inflation is the devaluation of currency. A UBI just moves it from one person to another. So one person buys a $60,000 Mercedes instead of a $90,000 Maserati, then three other people buy a $30,000 Model 3 instead of a $20,000 Focus. It's not inflation, you're paying more money in order to get more valuable stuff. You're not bidding on a finite supply of $30,000 cars, if people have more money then they'll just make more of those cars, and more food and restaurants and whatever else people buy.

There are very few things in the world that are genuinely scarce and have completely inelastic supply. And for those things, the price might increase. But that's not inflation, it's just supply and demand. You get the same result if the economy improves and wages rise or the unemployment rate goes down. You get the same result from any reduction in income inequality.
Most people who claim that there was fraud in the election focus on the voting machines — that they were programmed to "flip" votes, there were servers in Germany, or they had some linearly "weighted" mode which was allegedly turned on. They claim that "the algorithm" caused the election to be stolen from Trump.

If we created a cryptographic voting system with homomorphic encryption to preserve privacy, they would be claiming the exact same thing — except in that case, you wouldn't be able to recount the ballots by hand.
I guess I wasn’t clear — this is my point! You’re adding it because it has huge benefits, and one cost is it slows things down. You are still making an explicitly decision to use something that makes your app slower, no?

That's because there's video evidence of Fulton County Georgia poll workers clearing out all poll watchers on the basis of a bullshit pipe leak story and then as soon as everyone left they brought out suitcases of ballots and started scanning them in. There's 1000 affidavits of egregious election fraud and abuse in this election. The Supreme Court's refusal to even hear Texas's case is outrageous.

That the adage was intended to address a narrower case does not invalidate your argument, friend!

> Routine wisdom teeth removal

That one is new to me. My dentist took X-rays at that point in puberty where it would become obvious if the wisdom teeth were obviously and majorly deviating (thus requiring removal).

The X-ray came back somewhere between "inconclusive" and "too early to tell", so I still have my wisdom teeth.
Now this is a unique use-case! Definitely keen to see if I can slot it into my music workflow.
The part about Latina women experiencing low racism stress when they're young and high stress when they're older is super interesting. And it's interesting that wasn't true of Black women. I wonder whether America's fetishization of Latina women and discrimination against Black women in the dating market provides a kind of buffer against racism that erodes as Latina women age.
Exactly — and I rely upon the many hundreds of thousands of years of experience and direct “winning” to beat adversaries.

This statement cuts both ways — if this recent pandemic was human made we need human solutions... only IF the virus is insurmountable.

As someone with direct experience with a large N, this virus is nothing to exponentially increase long term and second order risk with human “solutions” ... UNLESS the long term effects for asymptomatic cases are severe and under reported.

Again... too many variables outstanding to be certain, but highly cautious
Masturbation. The dream lives. Stay strong.
Suppose everybody gets a $12,000 credit (i.e. a UBI) and then everybody pays a universal 30% marginal rate.

If you make $20,000, your effective tax rate is -30% -- it's negative, you got more than you paid. If you make $60,000, your effective tax rate is 10%. If you make a million dollars, your effective tax rate is 28.8%. This is what you want, progressive effective rates.

But anybody who makes a dollar, the government gets 30%. If growth of small businesses transfers a trillion dollars from billionaires to the working class, there is no reduction in government revenue. If growth of small businesses adds a trillion dollars of new value the economy, Congress "profits" just as much as adding a trillion dollars solely to Microsoft, so they wouldn't have the incentive to prefer the latter.

Worth pointing out that we don't actually have low marginal rates on the poor as a result of benefits phase outs -- the lowest marginal rates in practice are paid by the middle class. And then we unsurprisingly get federal policies that destroy the middle class to the benefit of billionaires and international corporations.
> I've always very strongly had the impression that while CSS was good at styling, it was hopeless at layout.

> That changed with the introduction of flex and grid.

Half true. Flex and grid are a significant improvement, but "hopeless" was just about always inaccurate. The vast majority of issues people had with layouts pre-flex were because they didn't understand the box model and how block/inline/inline-block/float interacted with each other.

...Unfortunately, not understanding the box model is still a problem, but flex/grid can get people further without needing to understand it.
You should pay for how much is being contributed.

Well, this simply isn't how it works in capitalism. Garbage truck workers also contribute a lot to society (wait until they go on strike for a month). However, the job is paid badly, since it requires very little education, so almost anyone can do the job.

Considering that most of my social life (in late 20s) is made of people I met and worked with in bachelors and grad school, I am really unsure about this approach.
Apart from the social factor, I was also got immense support and motivation from my peers.

I feel like this is a bit of a misconception. Most of the time cost of living doesn't scale alongside compensation increase. And most devs in high paid regions, even if their region has a higher COL still end up with much more wealth in the end.

For example, San Francisco COL will be around 5000$ per month for rent, utilities, food, transportation, etc. Where as dev compensation will be around 150k a year. On which you'll pay about 36% in tax, leaving you with about 100k a year. That's 8333$ a month.

So as an average dev in San Francisco your monthly profit will be 3333$ a month. That's 40k a year in savings.

Now we were looking at a high compensation of 58.4k and a low of 32.5k based on OP about blender compensations. That's an average of 45k. So their COL and tax burden would need to be less than 5k just to make the same amount as the average San Francisco dev. Any higher then that (and it's very likely to be higher), and they are making less than the average San Francisco dev.

Now that's not all. The largest portion of the COL of the dev in San Francisco was rent, 3500$ went to rent. That means, any dev in San Francisco can easily choose to make an extra 1750$ a year simply by choosing to live with a roommate. Or they can easily make an extra 500$ by choosing to rent slightly further out. If they happen to live with a partner that has income, and especially if they also are a tech worker (which happens often since so many people in San Francisco are working in tech), well they both similarly now make an extra 1750$ a month. That's an extra 21k a year, so now that dev can have a profit of 61k a year if they want, which is more than the total compensation of the highest paid blender dev.

And if the San Francisco dev manages to get a home loan and purchase a home or condo, they can expect to make back close to 2500k per month which they were previously losing in rent.

So I'm not saying COL doesn't matter, but most of the time, regions with higher pay, even if higher COL, still leave you in a much better financial situation.

The only real thing you sacrifice is the size of your home or apartment. But for a lot of people, that's a fine sacrifice to make, especially temporarily, say in the first 15 years of your career for example.
yup there is a link to it & its creator at the about page
Technically it (used to) reset the timer until MCAS activation to 5 seconds after it is released. So you'd have to repeatedly engage to get your stabilizer to where you want it and cut the power. They removed the ability for the electric switches to actuate while the FC was isolated from the stabilizer motor controls as part of the MAX design. With NG's you could flip one cutout switch which would isolate the computer, while leaving on the yoke switches. In MAX, flipping either one apparently cuts out both the computer and the switches.
Yeah, I don't need conciseness or brevity. The processor or the network connection needs conciseness. Programmers need specificity and clarity. Verbosity is fine too, IMO :)
I love Blender so much.
How did it happened?
No it's irreversible. Ethereum had one hard fork in its history (the DAO hack of 2016) and it was contentious and caused a split in the community. It can't be done Willy nilly.

Wallets should do more to prevent these types of sends from occuring, providing warnings. But you should also never ever send $50K without a test transaction of some token amount first.
I mean, it's been already solved with a decentralized, low-cost, secure technology. It's called paper, and it has this wonderful security property that the amount of work needed to subvert the result is proportional to the number of votes you need to change, whatever you do.

That's an interesting way to look at it. Yes it adds a 1% inefficiency because it pays out to wealthy people (that's what "the 1%" means, right?) that don't need it, but I can easily imagine that simpler rules would yield back 5-10% just due to reduced administrative overhead, let alone the cost of everyones lives debating this stupid topic endlessly and the economic opportunity cost with everyone spending their time trying to game the unnecessarily complex rules.
I did not know anything about FP, so I looked it up, and my first reaction was that it sounds a lot like APL, but then APL predates FP. But APL and its derivatives, like j, are still in use.

That seems like quite the achievement! I'm actively looking for a high-level language to put on top of an enterprise product, but it has to either transpile to C or integrate well with a C standard library (unfortunately). It's not a 100% requirement, as Rust still works because I can override the global allocator.

Right now I'm looking towards Nim, which has some pros and cons. I'm still not good enough to build complex APIs with it, but it's really easy to integrate. Nim feels like Python for systems programming.

Although he's certainly left-leaning -- he likes Bernie Sanders -- what really motivates him is attacking the complacency of the center.

I don't find him boring, usually, though sometimes I fail to relate to something he's exercised about. But he definitely has a different bias than most journalists. I think this is very useful.

>> The reality is if a black death like disease hit the modern world civilisation would likely more or less totally collapse.

Ehhh, depends what you mean by "like". The bubonic plague itself is not rare today; it is more or less expected in wild armadillos, for example. But it is not the calamitous disease to us that it was to medieval Europeans. Modern whites have seen a certain amount of selection for resistance to the plague.

> Why do believe that? It didn't collapse medieval European civilization.

On the other hand, I can't support this. The plague very much did collapse medieval European civilization; the accepted structure of society completely disintegrated. Wages for poor laborers skyrocketed. Panicked nobility passed new laws forbidding peasants from leaving the land they worked, and the peasants ignored them. The total loss of so much of the labor force meant that those who survived were much richer -- wheat fields didn't suffer from the plague! -- and radical adjustments to society followed quickly.
Couldn’t agree more. I can agree that premature abstraction is bad. But unnecessarily duplicated code outweighs this by orders of magnitude, in my experience. So stay DRY, and later when you hit that 1 case in 100 where the code needs to diverge, it’s easy enough to copy/paste.
It was nice to use to bring GUI type controls to text programs.
I'm not sure I agree with that. CDPR intentionally barred reviewers from reviewing or even _showing footage_ of the console versions prior to the release. They knew it was a completely broken console experience but did not want consumers to make an informed decision on their purchase, so reviews were only allowed to use footage from high-end PCs.

This is shady business practice at best, downright unethical/scamming at worst. If CDPR considers themselves to be a respectable studio some heads should roll for this debacle.
Those glitches happen to me as well. The first big glitch I thought was me was not being able to switch camera view while driving. Obnoxious bug for me. It’s not possible to drive in this game while looking from inside of the car without lots of NPC death...

The way to go about a collaboration depends on the reason for the collaboration, and why it's a better idea than not collaborating. I don't think there's a general answer to how you "make" people collaborate.

The question about project scope and resource allocation is also hard to answer in a general way, as I'm not sure why it would be harder in the world I'm suggesting.

What hurts about CyberPunk is how well polished some parts are. The voice acting, story, and world are beautiful and polished. It's clear that they just didn't have time to implement like half the gameplay they promised.

The result is a big beautiful and empty world with a linear path. There's little to do, and really little point to the huge open world. 90% of missions are inside buildings on foot. And the ones that aren't uniformly suck because vehicle mechanics and AI just isn't there
Perhaps, but once you've been falsely accused of something and have no alibi to clear your name, it will probably reshape for the rest of your life how you make decisions on such evidence.
Agree it seems a bit wrong. Worth bearing in mind that cases which go to higher courts are usually ones which lower courts think aren't clear, or different courts disagree.
Ever played a video game like X3 where you can set up robot space traders to haul for you? You can only make $x flying between ports, but now you can make $5x or $10x. It's not that you're stealing from the robots, you're just making use of a resource that can be put to profitable use.

People are the same -- just another kind of resource, a black box that lets you make $5x. And the thing is, you deserve the $5x -- you took a system where nothing was being put to its best use, and now it is.

What I'm trying to say is I've worked on many projects that sucked because no one had the vision and hiring skills the IntelliJ people do, and if society could give someone a billion dollars to make every project work that well, it would be a good deal.

The icing on the cake here is that those IOPS from the docker agent is outside of your control. Before having to dive deeper into it, I would have assumed that only IOPS stemming from the workloads themselves would count against quotas.

Using these abstractions of abstractions of abstractions that all end up leaking fatal failure modes you have to deal with yourself makes me start questioning the fundamental value proposal. The one major thing you get away from is setup costs, but the total time investment gets amortized.
