You write:
> If people choose to announce their party affiliation, that's something else.

In PA (as in most states) one's party affiliation is public by law. In PA it's important because one can only vote in the primary for the party one is registered as a member of. (Voters who do not register an affiliation or are affiliated with a third party simply aren't allowed to vote during the primary.) So it's not really a case of "choosing" to announce their affiliation.

Also, I know multiple individuals in my neighborhood who have confided in me that they registered as members of one party but preferred to vote for the other party. Why? Because (at least historically) our county has a long history of being run by a single party and (to quote my neighbor), "If you are a member of the wrong party your trash won't get picked up."

The secret ballot really DOES prevent certain abuses.
Keep in mind that there're different kinds of research software. Take Seurat[1] as an example. There's CI, issue tracking, etc. It might not be the prettiest code you ever seen, but it absolutely has to be maintainable as it's being actively developed. Such projects are rare, but the low quality is often an indication of a software that isn't used by anyone.

Sure, just like the bar keeper in BB would also say, country and western are worlds apart.

I think C++ is like western (cowboys and open ranges) and Java is like country (the setting is closer to civilization but still far from progressive, was originally aimed for western music audience).

I replaced my dev machine (a fully maxed out 6 core i9 2018 MBP with 32 gigs of memory) with a Mac mini with two upgrades (16G memory, 1TB drive) and I simply can't tell the difference in performance. But I can tell the difference in heat and stability.

And the Mac mini was about 1/3 the price. (I know it's not an equal comparison, but I was always using my laptop with the lid closed, hooked up to 2 4k monitors anyway.)

I will happily upgrade to more power. I don't miss not being able to run virtual Windows because I offloaded that to my home server anyway and RDP into it when needed.

Throw Away Your Mask After Covid Vaccination?
But not for range of clients
Anyone with children will tell you that school is a major disease vector. It's common sense and basic medical knowledge. Putting a bunch of people together spreads disease, especially when they're a bunch of children with dubious hygiene habits.
> Maybe, I want my kid to only spend 3 hours a day in a classroom with kids and I'll teach them the rest -- can't do that in the U.S.

There's a reason the "U.S." doesn't allow that - education is left to the states by the US constitution. That said, there are many states where you can do what you propose - not all of them, and some make it easier than others, but it's not against federal law to do so.
You are indeed on to something. My theory that most disease are environmental in nature with pathogens being opportunistic invaders. On their own pathogen can find it difficult to infect an organism.

>Why is this not our primary focus of discussion?

Because mainstream science also has their own set of beliefs which are dogmatic in nature.
Moreover would a govt/big business come forth and say, so we introduced a new detergent formula in the market and this cause the whole outbreak? that has never voluntarily happened.

I happened to catch them both in Madrid (Summercase) and Miami (Bang) in 2006.

It's not often I'd travel to watch the "same" show twice. That was a nuts setlist and show period.

Especially since my going to Madrid was via hearing about it from a hotel concierge and "Hey dad, I know we're here for your business, but can I go to this music festival, across a city neither of us know, that speaks a language I can maybe passably bang out?"

You know, you say things about having a privilege of being ignorant, but you seem to be unaware that this is exactly what you're doing. You all have the privilege of basically downplaying racism to be a just systemic issue of black people not earning or being employed as much, or cops shooting slightly more black people than white people. You have no clue just how much things can go south to the point where there isn't even any system in place and all you have left are the actual horrors of war, that the Hollywood movies won't ever show you.

You're blaming Trump for calling for violence, not because he did, but because his audience interprets what he says as such, and at the same time you say things like "all white people are racist" and expect everyone to understand the intricacies of the white privilege theory. In Europe we had those things called "pogroms" that were massacres organized by the usual day-to-day folks, with zero influence over the system. So it wasn't racism according to you, I guess. It's within the realm of possibility that you soon might have the benefit of your white privilege of finding yourself at the receiving end of one of such massacres.

I don't understand all this confusion about what RT means, this is the definition of a RT system. If you can't complete the computation within the given deadline whatever partial result is discarded and the computation starts from scratch.

Decoding video and interactive rendering is a great example of an RT system. If you can't construct a frame within (usually) 16 ms you skip it and start with the next one.
As a general rule, I found that when institutions make it more easier for you to give them money, they don't do it for your benefit :)
IMO it seems like faux outrage. People vent, this is fine. The babysitting comment was actually 100% on-point. I don't blame the school board members, I blame the parents. I say that as a parent myself of two elementary age children, because my wife volunteered for PTA and I got a window into the lives of the teachers and principal and what they face every day from parents. The truth is, many people are really shitty to teachers, and treat them like crap. Maybe it's politics, I don't know, but the things I saw were eye-opening. I think in many cases the children are more mature.
I really can't agree that the primary focus of school is academics over everything. Primary focus of elementary school is learning to socialize. Primary focus of high school is learning to manage responsibilities. Even college the primary focus is networking. People complain about not learning how to cook or do taxes in school all the time, but they must not have paid attention, because school provides all the skills that are needed to perfect those relatively easy tasks.
One of the biggest eye-openers for me as an undergrad was when, upon getting to the point where I'd have to decide whether to pursue graduate education or exit academia and join the workforce, I began to look at the process for publishing novel computer science.

To be clear, novel computer science is valuable and the lifeblood of the software engineering industries. But the actual product? I discovered of myself that I like quality code more than I like novel discovery, and the output of the academic world ain't it. Examples I saw were damn near pessimized... not just a lack of comments, but single-letter variables (attempting to represent the Greek letters in the underlying mathematical formulae) and five-letter abbreviated function names.

I walked away and never looked back.

If there's one thing I wish I could have told freshman-year me, it's that software as a discipline is extremely wide. If you find yourself hating it and you're surprised you're hating it, you may just be doing the kind that doesn't mesh with your interests.
> The time from my CPU to a kernel bypass NIC to a cut-through switch to the exchange's FPGA gateway is in the low single-digit microseconds

Single digit microsecond latency is also what you should expect from a well written market data gateway or a fix engine. Java definitely competes with C++ in this space.
>In reality, it is more difficult to steal, copy and re-sell a physical passport than a cryptographic key.

Just, how? A pickpocket can steal your passport and anyone, even a police officer on the street could have a hard time figuring out if it's actually you or not if your photo looks remotely like the thief. How is it easier to steal passport crypto keys (not the passport number) from a secure government database than someone's passport off the street?

Also, the authorities can cancel your stolen passport, but the pickpocket will still own it physically and can use it to enter places like nightclubs or worse (other than airports and hard borders, nobody checks the passport electronically vs the government database, they all just glance at it and call it a day).

I have the feeling you have no idea how secure passport crypto chips and NFC chips are and you assume all passport crypto keys are some databases sitting randomly on the internet.

Or are you simply assuming that something physically printed must be inherently safer than "some bits"?

Academic hiring and promotion.

High-quality academic curation doesn't effect anything in your career. On the other hand, the impact of your own research does does affect it. I'd like my taxpayer dollars to go a little less towards publish-or-perish, and a little more towards QA to make sure the papers coming out are credible.
You probably are already familiar, but if not, this is exactly the entire concept behind Elm (in fact that signature is exactly the update function at the heart of the Elm architecture). And indeed the Elm community has a lot of ideas on how to split that basic idea to make it reusable.
I hadn't heard these before and I find that even less exotic languages change they way you think about things. I didn't understand grammar like indirect objects until I studied Spanish. In Vietnamese, every word is a single syllable and you chain them together to make more complex descriptors. They also have no tense. So to say "I went to the store yesterday", you say "I go store yesterday" The form of go does not change depending on the time period. Languages are so cool and if I could make as good a living just studying them I would.
Requirements in Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE)
You have a list of citizens, their personal information are stored in your country databases. They have a unique key pair assigned at some point during their life (let's call it Citizen Key, may be paired to a Citizen ID or something like this).

There is a new voting event, each citizen can now create a voting wallet using their Citizen Key then vote on the various motions by sending a transaction to a destination wallet created for this event.

At the end of the voting event, the votes are counted and no transaction can be send to the destination wallet.

You do have a central authority, it's the country (or state). Only citizens can vote, and only citizens have a valid set of keys.

The benefits is that anyone voting or people who want to verify the voting numbers can do, and without having to trust the software managing the database (I mean, you of course have to trust the blockchain itself...).

I think that's what the story is hinting at when it mentions using 'the Objective Statement Protocols'.

The real issue would probably be that you're working with a disembodied mind, and even an emulated body seems like it would be significantly more difficult to emulate, given the level of interactivity expected and required of the emulated brain. Neal Stephenson's 'Fall' explores this extensively in the first couple sections of the book.

I do agree that GraphQL has improved developer experience, or at the very least improved the perceived experience (which is essentially the same as actually improving the experience). I cannot deny it's popularity, and that comes from hype along with usefulness (perceived or actual).

> Tools like GraphiQL make exploring APIs a pleasure.

This is an innovation of the developers of GraphiQL, not of GraphQL itself. It's possible to build IDE support similar ot that of GraphiQL, with the rich metadata and schema data that is available by design in OpenAPI + JSONSchema + JSON-LD + HATEOAS land. The problem is that no one did/was excited enough to, the slog from Swagger2 to OpenAPI3 might have sapped the enthusiasm of the community just enough (or the emergence of GraphQL), but it's not that the tools isn't possible with other approaches.

> There is also the nice addition of strict typing and there are libraries that automatically generate TypeScript types for you from the schema and/or your operations.

This was already present with OpenAPI and related tools, so I personally don't put this as something that GraphQL brought about.

Far more likely that money dealers held powerful positions, ensuring some very conservative social constructs stayed in place. People just routed around this by using "modern" technology.

And so the percentage of legitimate uses of the system dwindle, and the percentage of less legitimate increase till at some point you are no longer a useful social service but a money launderer for criminals who occasionally helps the diaspora send money home.
I think the primary concern with this school board, (probably many school boards), is that the expectation is based on how well they perform the babysitting function. Whereas the metric is based on how well they perform the teaching function.

There are likely a large number of school board members, teachers, and even parents who complain because they want more emphasis on the teaching and less on the babysitting. I can imagine a lot of tension in the future around this fundamental contention.

It's chump change to get Croatian citizenship. I only had to pay the Croatian government $235 in 2018 to get it. I was granted it in 10 months. Likewise, getting the putovnica (passport) is easy as can be. I got my Putovnica at the Croatian Los Angeles consulate in the US as soon as I found out about ETIAS.

Remember that Croatia is very pro-EU, for obvious reasons that should never be mentioned (war), so I look at it as a form of insurance. I also use my Croatian citizenship primarily for healthcare, by the way. That is an awful thing to say, but I do believe in the Croatian nation and project and I am definitely Croatian-American, from a cultural standpoint. I have things to bring to the table.

Since both of your parents are legally Croatian citizens, you become Croatian under Article 4 through a form called a "citizenship affirmation" (if I am correct..I could be wrong. You should call, not email the consulate. I would call the LA consulate. They guy who answers the phone is both a Croatian lawyer and an electrical engineer. He really knows what he is talking about when it comes to citizenship matters, and knows them backwards and forwards). This is probably the form you need to fill out for your citizenship application: https://mup.gov.hr/UserDocsImages//2020/Obrasci/Dr%C5%BEavlj...

As you can see, the requirements are written on the bottom of the page.

You will need the Domovnica (citizenship certificates) for both of your parents.

The Croatian government almost never tells you this, but they will retrieve Domovnica, rodni list (birth certificates), etc., for around $67/document. You do that through the consulate you are assigned to, and that is who you mail with the check. This is the form you fill out to get these documents. You also need to make a copy of a driver's license or a national ID card, and enclose it in the envelope, as this is required too. I would also include a written statement with all of this: http://www.mvep.hr/_old/Portals/US/download/ZAHTJEV_ZA_DOSTA...

Typically, the consulates keep this information about retrieving documents under wraps, unless you are friendly with them, and you catch their interest...

But, this is typically the form one would fill out if applying for citizenship, especially if applying under article 11: https://mup.gov.hr/UserDocsImages/dokumenti/drzavljanstvo/ob...
