Yes isn't that more of an indictment of the machines than anything? Shouldn't these machines simply be able to get a new image written to them and be good to go?

Again if part of the security model of the voting machines is "nobody except trusted people can touch them", then they shouldn't be in use.

New Covid-19 Cases and Hospitalizations Among Adults by Vaccination Status
It's also possible that many people do view Teddy Roosevelt as a war criminal, which anyway doesn't excuse Antonescu's actions. In fact, many if not all of your arguments could be used to defend if not Hitler, then at least Mussolini, Franco and other Axis leaders just as much as Antonescu.

It's true that there is a clear element of "history being written by the victors". Allying with Stalin's USSR is definitely hard to sell as purely moral. Still, the fact remains that Hitler's aggression was significantly worse than Stalin's during the war. Whether this was simply a difference of speed and/or ambition will remain forever unknown (would Stalin have invaded Germany had the opposite not happened, or would he have stopped at Poland/Moldova/Finland? we'll never know, of course).

By the standards of the Nurenberg trials, as Noam Chomsky often reminds everyone, all American presidents (perhaps, ironically, after Roosevelt - as he was not personally guilty of the war crime of aggression) should be hung. So should Stalin and most USSR leaders.
As someone who left RV and came back, the negativity being spread because we found a niche and can play the game that Google has designed is hilarious.

RV is a great company to work for. Like any organization, there are bad managers. Ultimately RV is what you make of it.

Likewise, to those that post “RV has terrible employee reviews…” pay attention to most of the positions that are posting those bad reviews. Most of them are sales associates who work(ed) in the call center.

I plan to be at RV for at least the next decade because of the opportunity I see afforded to me and the recognition that I am able to receive.
It didn't change the mind of the former President, who apparently had a fairly hard case of COVID. He was never anti-vaccine (in fact, he deserves credit for helping it be created), but he never ceased to minimize the importance of COVID and was inconsistent (at best) about mask wearing.

Abbott is asymptomatic, and I only see this as bolstering his belief that COVID is a personal issue. His party may be wavering on that, but he himself gains nothing by walking back his previous statements, and this experience isn't going to cause the kind of suffering that would force him into a different mindset.
FWIW, I have the same experience as the parent poster. I used to love Elm, evangelized the architecture, wanted to write Elm professionally. I was constantly bumping into things that were not finished or working, but didn’t really mind. But I also often encountered cases where the leadership team was saying “we don’t want this discussion here, thank you very much”, even if the discussion was perfectly legitimate, friendly, technical and related to some sorely needed feature or bugfix. I constantly felt unwelcome, like I was trespassing on someone’s lawn. I didn’t want to base my work on that. Eventually I just shrugged and left.
It's a great question!

I think there's more than one factor, but the biggest one comes down to setting expectations, especially in the early days.

Elm does a lot of things differently than other languages, and while I think that overall those differences have been instrumental to its success, especially early on it sometimes wasn't clearly enough communicated when "this is temporarily different because it's a WIP; you can expect it to be more like what you're used to in the future" versus "this is different by design, so expect it to stay different or even to become more different."

Examples of this include typeclasses (a lot of people coming to Elm from a Haskell background assumed Elm would add them as a matter of course), JS interop (by design, it's not a traditional FFI, although there was an unintended backdoor that kind of worked like one; when that backdoor was finally removed, after much communication that in retrospect should have happened at the outset, some of those who had been relying on it were understandably upset), how the project is run (more like Clojure than like JavaScript), and what the release schedule looks like (batching large projects rather than more frequent smaller releases).

I think things are a lot clearer today, but for some it's unfortunately too late to make a difference.
The vast majority of Republicans think the election was stolen - https://www.prri.org/spotlight/the-big-lie-most-republicans-...

That number is likely even higher, now, after the crap that the GOP is pulling in Arizona. One of my close friends (a conservative, who doesn't even like Trump) is now convinced that the Democrats somehow stole the election. It's insane.
Thanks for your kind words but I just wanted to say that Google has to abide by the same rules as others who “publish” information.

For example, The New York Times cannot publish the wrong photo of a person inside of an article, then demand that someone turn over their driver’s license, a selfie, and other personal identifying information in order to have the false information deleted.

Btw, there was no guarantee they would have deleted it if I had claimed it- they said they would use their discretion. If you are going to publish something, the burden is on you to verify the information. If it cannot be verified, it cannot be published. That is not my opinion but basic journalistic ethics and the law. The problem is Google is claiming their Knowledge Panel is simply a random search result and they are not responsible for it.

I didn’t want to turn over my personal information to a corporation that had already been careless in this situation.

Furthermore, it was clear that me and the pastor were two different people as both of us have been written about in the press and have different LinkedIn accounts. Also, once they saw their knowledge graph had produced several different results, they should have deleted the the panel altogether since it was clearly not working. To leave false information up because I didn’t “claim” the knowledge panel is unethical and against the law. Forget about the fact that they are currently being sued by 36 states and the Department of Justice for unfair business practices. I wouldn’t advise anyone to give them a driver’s license and a selfie etc.
Wow. Evidently a loaf of bread becomes ultra processed if you add preservatives to it. Nothing about that definition suggests there was any kind of science involved in this. “Nutrition science” is just the worst.
Brings back lots of good memories. Did some of my high school homework on the Alto -- I remember one teacher writing on one of my essays "Cool typewriter" (he'd of course never seen a laser printer, so couldn't imagine what dover output was).
A little white balance work would go a long way I suspect. An OLED panel would really make things pop, but the burn-in issue might be a problem unless you had it rotating very regularly.

Geez, such a weird segway. You've completely missed talking about how the EU private key has no concept of getting updated in a secure fashion and is basically unusable.

The Baltic states have a private key that is actually usable to an end user. Open source, document signing format that works.

Plus a process that allows updating these keys in a safe fashion. None of that exists with the EU infrastructure.
I wonder where I heard that, or if it's a different city.

I didn't know it, so here goes:

"Chesterton's fence is the principle that reforms should not be made until the reasoning behind the existing state of affairs is understood."

Very reasonable.
A government often does need to monitor the communication of foreign agents / spies or suspected terrorists to protect the nation. Monitoring one-to-one connection between these kind of agents working against the nation, is a legitimate exercise in the interest of national security. However, who the government can accuse or suspect as a foreign agent or terrorist, to spy on them, should be preferably after following due process through the judiciary.
CSV uses decimal representations of numeric data, which means you are getting 3.5 bits of data for every 8 bits of storage space (and that's assuming you are using a reasonably compact text encoding... if you are using UTF-16, it's 16 bits). Using a binary representation you can store 8 bits of data for every 8 bits of storage space.

CSV uses a variety of date-time formats, but a prevalent one is YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss.sssZ. I'll leave it as an exercise for the reader to determine whether that is as compact as an 8-byte millis since the epoch value.

CSV also requires escaping of separator characters, or quoting of strings (and escaping of quotes), despite ASCII (and therefore UTF-8) having a specific unit separator character already reserved. So you're wasting space for each escape, and effectively wasting symbol space as well (and that's ignoring the other bits of space for record separators, group separators, etc.).

Then there's floating point data...

Honestly, this is a silly argument. CSV is, by design, a format that trades space for other factors. It should not be debatable whether it is a compact format or not.
RV plays the game that Google created and they do it well. What’s wrong with that? Google doesn’t stop it because that’s how they make ad revenue. And I wouldn’t say monopolizing is the right term… that would imply we ran Google and made sure to make our results #1.

The value of something is in the eye of the beholder. In all our transactions, the price paid for something is between the largest amount the buyer is willing to pay and the lowest amount the seller is willing to accept.

When people move to a cheaper area, the lowest pay that will give them the exact same happiness level as before the move becomes lower. This presents a new bargaining opportunity. Since the bargaining opportunity was not triggered by the worker becoming more valuable to the company but by the worker choosing to limit their opportunities, it is unsurprising that a new round of bargaining may result in the worker being paid less.
There are plenty of people who use religion to decry this sort of thing. From the first page of results on a google search for "federal id mark of the beast":

I'm a Christian and I find most of those arguing that it's the mark of the beast (or the road there) to be disingenuous at it's root (there's an awful lot of anti-Christian stuff being flogged in the name of Christianity), but to claim that this isn't being done in the name of religion is to miss what's happening out there. Turn your car radio to the far left of the dial and listen to some Christian talk radio some time—there's a lot of craziness being put out into the world in the name of religion.

From a self taught view, the compiler helped me a lot and when it compiles it usually works and when not the community is very helpful. Over all I found libraries usually of good quality while also not needing a lot as Elm includes a lot out of the box (i.e. React, Redux, axios, type guards, etc.).

Elm-UI made working with styling much easier for me and was the main reason I gave Elm a try.

The Evan and the core team seem to have a clear vision of what they want and I can understand that but this is personal opinion. To make a system work well you have to be strict and including new features all the time might introduce complexity down the line. This might seem a bit closed in form the outside.

So far I am very happy with it.
Indeed, this has already been done: http://ndjson.org/

Its the constraints that make art what it is, not simply the definition of an infinite possibility space

One of the free MOOC courses that most shaped my understanding was Discreet Optimization on Coursera. It was way way over my head the first time I started it. It was way way over my head the second time. It still is today, but today I understand enough about what the problem is and why it is important to make decisions based on that understanding. The first time I watched the videos was 2014.

So seven years. That's the thing about being an adult. About life-long learning. The world is not divided into semesters. Knowledge isn't divided into subjects and courses.

Nobody cares about my inability to do discreet optimization homework. It doesn't matter that my interest started when I was in my forties and now I am well into my fifties. Nobody cares in a good way.

So you start with something over your head and learn a little and keep at it as long as you are interested. And then maybe stop for a while and come back later. Or never come back.

I've been PlanetScale for a test drive recently, and it's a bit of both. I also think they kind of go hand-in-hand: if you have "serverless" things (or just Docker), they can come and go with connections very quickly, so picking the correct "pause time" to take the DB down for an ALTER TABLE is possible but a tiny bit awkward. Online migrations mean you never take it down and it's always available so that's kind of moot.

But now you do have some other considerations (see below.) I don't think it's an absolute pancea, but it's certainly a very interesting and very useful secondary point in the design space. I like PlanetScale a lot. The free tier is also actually useful I think.

To be clear even if it's is "serverless SQL" you still have to design with the fact you're using Vitess in mind. So you have no foreign keys, scalability is done by keyspace sharding (not currently available in PlanetScale), apps deal with online migration where the schema evolves as they access it, etc. You have to keep these things in mind but you get some benefits in return, like most things.
This is a pet peeve of mine: csv was a bad format already when it was created, because it intermixes data with meta data, ie it uses characters that can appear as either data or control characters, leading to escaping issues. This is in addition to being under specified as to which characters are used as control characters.

It was outdated from the start because ASCII already has specific characters for file, group, record, and
item separation. Using this would give broad compatibility and a wider feature set (eg. more than one table in a file) while retaining all the benefits of csv.
The database branching idea seems to be popping up more and more. IIRC, TermniusDB supports it too - https://terminusdb.com/

I've not played with PlanetScale yet, but I am planning on playing with TerminusDB in the near future.
