Yes. The Democrats keep losing counties and gaining voters.

This is also happening at the state level, and is causing the Senate to become ridiculously radical. It only takes the support of 5.1% of US voters to filibuster a bill, and 12% to defeat a filibuster:

https://www.reddit.com/r/politics/comments/2jnmbe/i_did_the_...

The "supervoters" making up that 5.1% and 12% are mostly in Republican states, and this has led to the Republican party drifting farther and farther right of the mainstream over time. For example:

74% of Americans want action on climate change: https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2021/09/14/americans-a...

69% of Americans want to keep Roe v Wade: https://www.marketwatch.com/story/what-percentage-of-america...

Yet neither can get 50 votes in the Senate, let alone the 60 required to pass.

> there is a big difference between freezing access to a bank account and taking ownership of the funds.

No it’s not so big, because freezing can be unlimited in time and you can’t use that money. What point of having money on account if you can not use them? These are just numbers on the screen.

If your account can be frozen any time by the bank, it means you don’t really own the money, and the bank is not trustworthy.

I think it's so important we remember that period with Weiner and William Grey Walter and the rest. Ross Ashby super under appreciated. I wish, "software engineering" were more like what an advanced, "careerish" form of Cybernetics/Systems Thinking would have looked like.

That golden age of science is something we should behold in reverence and vigilance. It used to mean something. Society used to feel like it was guided by, "top men." We can't ultimately lose that to our own folly. Bill Deming spent a career keeping America from, "committing suicide." What will it take to take the magazine out of the proverbial (and non proverbial!) pistol?
Take almost any “academically gifted” student and start looking into their biography, and you’ll find a shitload of preparation. As a general rule (to which, sure, you can find rare exceptions if you really hunt) the more “gifted” the student, the more hands-on help and attention from experts they had. Even for those without significant expert help, the “gifted” students are the ones who spent a ton more time thinking about the subject than their peers for whatever reason. The international math olympiad winners I took courses with in college were incredibly well prepared, and while clever and hard working, are by no means superhuman.

Preparation is not the only relevant factor that goes into what gets called academic “giftedness”, but it’s the vast majority of it.

It’s similar for other fields. Nobody can compete in sport at a world-class level nowadays without significant amounts of excellent coaching. Etc.

For instance, the reason my kid learned to read before he was 4 and most of his peers did not is because we spent many hundreds of hours reading books together aloud, and maybe 50 hours over 6 months on direct instruction in reading per se. Not because he’s biologically any different than his peers. The reason he’s really good at making stuff out of Legos is that he really likes it and spends hours per week doing it, not because he’s some kind of Lego prodigy. He’s not particularly skilled at drawing or dancing or playing the guitar or sewing, because those are things he did not practice very much yet.

A fundamental idea of Georgism is that the land belongs to everybody, so rather than owning land, one essentially rents it from the people. More desirable land is rented at a higher rate. If the land you are renting could be making someone else millions with a higher productivity use, then you need to pay for the privilege of not using it for that higher productivity use.

> The argument is that requiring voting id without a commensurate effort to make sure everyone has voter id ends up disproportionately affecting minorities.

Democrats have never negotiated in good faith over the requirement to make IDs available though whenever the debate is brought up. States like Wisconsin require voter ID and will make an ID for voting available for free, through the mail, and yet there is still opposition that always relies on handwavy arguments about how utterly baffling and difficult it is to obtain a photo ID, even in Wisconsin. Arguments which are ultimately disingenuous and yet still persist in light of accommodations by states that require voter ID.

> Paying for parking? There will be a sign listing how much money you need to put in for 1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours and so on.

Then if the maximum parking time is 3 hours, it's 10:15 and you want to know at what time you need to leave you take out a cardboard clock, set the current time, and advanced the small hand one, two, three steps. And to know whether you can afford both the parking and a coffee with the money you have on you you make two piles and keep the parking money in one pocket and the coffee money in another pocket. I got it. [I'm joking, our society is organised in such a way that you don't need to be able to read a clock or handle money.]

> Suppose you have source-of-truth A (doesn't really matter if it's a key value store or whatever, it could be a function for all intents) and a few clients B1, B2, B3, ... that rely on the data from A. You have to keep them in sync. When should B* check if A has changed? Every time they need it? Every minute? Every hour? Every day? That is the cache invalidation problem.

A few things to clarify here what you are referring to as clients are cache hosts (as they keep data). You seem to imply that the cache is running on the client? I was referring to cache servers (think memcache, Redis, etc.), for which the membership can be determined. So on update (e.g. when you mutate A, you know all the Bs to invalidate).

Now continuing with your example, with cache running on the client. Assuming we are talking about same concept when we say "client", the membership is non deterministic. Clients can come and go (connect and disconnect as they wish). There are some attempts to do invalidation-based cache on clients, but they are hard because of the reason I just mentioned. So usually client cache is TTL'ed. E.g. the very browser you are using to see this comment has a lot of things cached. DNS is not going to send an invalidate event to your browser. It't TTL based.

I guess what I am saying is that cache invalidation rarely applies to cache side cache as far as I know. Maybe you have a different example, which we can discuss.
Firefox quarantines Facebook sites in a separate container (with its own cookies and browsing history, etc.), losing back button is an unfortunate side effect.

I think that the learning curve might be in reference to installing plugins.

Installing an extension on vim (never done emacs) is something that does not just happen easily. There is no intuitive search for extensions built in, you likely have to install software that manages your plugins.

VSCode on the other hand rarely requires more than a single click through a built in interface.

The plugin ecosystem exists for command line editors, but it definitely has a learning curve
In my experience, it works up to the point where it installs the extensions, and then it does a bunch of processing and still can't figure out how to run the project or what the code means anyway. Plus I now have a slew of new extensions installed, and I'm not sure which are new looking in my list of extensions.

IntelliJ has a pretty damn good track record for me, when I import a project it indexes for a minute or so, then it automatically knows the entrypoint to run the project, and has a fantastic understanding of all my code. Cmd+click any symbol and it can show me definitions, usages, implementations, etc. I can hit shift+F6 to rename a symbol, and it hits every usage perfectly (as opposed to every time I've tried to use VS Code to rename something, and it just causes me more problems than if I were to do it manually). I haven't found any other text editor or IDE that works as seamlessly in this regard, and it's a dealbreaker for my productivity.
This makes both irrelevant, since you can already run code without bundling.

Obviously it’s not something you’d do in a normal production environment. It’s nice to be able to run code without any compilation steps if you’re working on something small (e.g. some demo on my personal website) or something in a development environment.

I’ve done this. Served up JS with “import” statements everywhere. The devserver just served JS straight from the filesystem without modification. When I change the JS, the browser just needs to reload—there’s no build process, no waiting. The production environment ran it all through Closure. Closure also ran in the dev environment, but it ran asynchronously, in the background, telling you what the errors are.

No source maps to deal with. No delays. The browser gets exactly what I write.
Is this a real problem that happens in reality right now? I regularly hear of entitled home owners putting up cones or other stuff to block street parking in front of their house.

> non-gendered pronouns referring to a person (something missing in English)

"they"? People pushing for "they/them" pronoun acceptance are always quick to point out "singular they" (even though the usage is quite contextual and limited).
> Part of your premise is that you can know when an election is going to come down to 6 votes.

Not in reality, you appended that to your local model.

It's true that there is only so much fraud you can get away with, and if the legitimate votes outnumber your ballot stuffing then your plan failed.

Presumably fraudsters do not know what the final counts are going to be (unlike how many people in this thread "know" things they have no way of knowing), so this would not necessarily alter their plans on sites that are plausibly (in their estimation) swingable.

> But in fact Meeks vs. Hart was newsworthy because results like that are incredibly rare. 99 times out of 100, if you try to juke the election, you're putting yourself at pretty grave legal risk and accomplishing absolutely nothing.

Please explain what you think is important about commercial medical devices, because having worked in the industry I can tell you the FDA is the hurdle and it's going to be as hard to convince them that C or Rust or Ada is safe to use for a medical device as it would be to convince them that Python was safe, and in the process you will certainly be ensuring there are safety controls for each item on the software FMEA, whatever your chosen ecosystem.
The Linux on the Desktop desire has vastly warped us, been a great trick of the devil. We do have some pretty great efforts, that Im thankful for, but competing for the same cup is, as you say, an extremely limiting & small objective.

My partner worked as a volunteer election poll worker in 2016. It was her job to take everyone's id and check it against a database to ensure that the person was on the voting rolls. 13 people came in to vote that either voted already at another location or had voted during the period of early voting allowed by our state. This amounted to approximately 1% of the voters that were processed by her that day.

There were no consequences for trying to vote twice, these people were simply turned away. (There was a mechanism for resolving disputes too. Provisional ballots could be given to voters and these would be counted only if the race was close enough for provisional votes to make a difference in which case these votes would be adjudicated before being accepted.)

The left was outside, the mountain face was basically a vertical line, and all the things we associate with "deeper" were found further and further to the right of that line. Some ways in you'd find an underground river (which floods when you first find it), then a chasm (enemies spawn from here), then a magma river, [spoilers for ancient versions of DF start now] eerie glowing pits, and finally adamantine. Finding adamantine made the king show up and demand you mine more and more adamantine, but the more you mined the more likely you were to have your fortress suddenly end in a cutscene.

All these fixed elements gave the game a specific progression of increasing rewards and challenges, and a guaranteed story arc for the whole fortress.

We never encrypt the database. Only the query is encrypted. The client setup data is only dependent on the client key and the size of the database (not the content). Adding and replacing articles can happen whenever the server wants, and clients do not need to "re-sync" or something like that.

For arbitrary key-value retrieval, a hashing scheme would work pretty well, modulo some imbalances that will occur.
I'm not sure how it works in Philadelphia, but in Chicagoland the EJs don't generally know each other; we meet for the first time the night before the election to set up the polling station. If you floated the (insane) idea of trying to rig a precinct, the likelihood of one of the other EJs reporting you is extraordinarily high. Meanwhile: the likelihood of you being able to flip even a township election by doing this is low. It just doesn't add up.

I think you have to have some pretty huge procedural gaps to make this viable, which is my point here.

> What benefit are individuals who have not been appropriately conditioned to work, suffering, and self-sufficiency?

This ideology sounds an awful lot like fascism to me, or maybe some kind of psychopathy.

If you start looking around at the highest-leverage contributions to humanity throughout history, a disproportionate number of them come from people who weren’t “appropriately conditioned to work, suffering, and self sufficiency” (typically without getting anything for their trouble beyond satisfying their own curiosity). So if all you care about is some kind of personal benefit, then someone (often a teacher) nurturing and encouraging those people has been directly responsible for a significant part of your material well being.

But many of us recognize humans as ends in themselves, rather than tools for our personal aggrandizement or slaves to the collective.
