I cited a NY Times article on how poor Americans are increasingly voting Republican. Given the overall political lean of the NY Times, I expect they'd be very happy to promote your theory if there was any evidence for it. Yet they didn't mention it, because there doesn't appear to be any.
"County" by itself means very little when it comes to population. There are more people living in Los Angeles County alone than there are in some entire states.
What do you think about MJPEG versus RFB (the VNC protocol)? I know that in modern VNC implementations, at least unofficial ones, JPEG is one of the available encodings. Still, IIUC, the big difference is that with MJPEG, the encoder sends a complete JPEG image for each frame, while this doesn't need to be the case with RFB.
In your equivalence, the "sport" is studying math (or something) and everyone is participating, simply on different levels. Your equivalence would only work if the non-gifted students weren't allowed to study anything at all.
I'm fine with this but be aware that the catch here is that if you aren't moving dollars around you can't attach strings to those dollars.

Sure, Python has its place. But that place is not where you need the software to work extremely reliably.

If pointing out relevant and real differences between languages counts as "bashing" then I'm not sure how you are meant to discuss it.

Language choice does have an effect on program robustness. That's just a fact. And it's also pretty indisputable that Python lacks many features that help to write robust code.

Pretending that isn't true is immature and unprofessional.

It has some pros of course - having a REPL is good for experimentation, and it has a great library ecosystem for example. But neither of those are particularly important for commercial medical devices.
Sure, but if a minifier/optimizer wants a “truthy” value, they can just use “1”. It’d be a pretty bad minifier if it turned something needing a truthy value into anything more than that.

Unless one can find some minifier producing said example, it’s a bad argument.

Spending money on trivialities is not how you project strength. If your business is so fragile it rests on the reputation of its TLD, you are already weak.
>For example, election fraud is effectively unheard of in France

Which doesn't mean that it doesn't exist, and the other way around, American politics is dominated by discourse about election fraud more so than actual evidence of it (this case excluded). On the contrary elections in America are extremely rarely fraudulent[1]

You're actually buying into a politically motivated narrative that tries to characterize American democracy overall as not worth participating in.

> The format isn't specified, it's just a comment

The authors intend to support a variety of type systems, such as TypeScript & Flow. That TypeScript would need to define it's own grammar doesn't seem harmful, & would surely be standardized quickly, exterior to this more general spec.

Latter you say: "Typescript is on a much faster release schedule than the standards." Well, since the format isn't specified, TypeScript is free to release at their leisure. Not bundling orthogonal concerns together, providing low-level extensible capabilities is a win.

> Browsers can't take advantage of it.

Why not? They could.

> Toolchains already do cross-compiling when they're bundling anyway, so it's not required on that front.

Ok, but you're ignoring the goal of this proposal: "The aim of this proposal is to enable developers to run programs written in TypeScript, Flow, and other static typing supersets of JavaScript without any need for transpilation"
Nuclear isn't a guarantee at all. Typically, only half of the French reactors are operating. There are a lot of problems:

* a plethora of safety problems, often created due to a lack of maintenance and lax oversight - most famously more than a dozen reactors are offline for years because of corrosion in neglected backup cooling systems

* large reactors require huge amount of cooling water. They usually take water from rivers and release the warmed water right back to it, but rivers often run low in the summer, or are already so warm that rising the temperature any more would kill the river.

* nuclear reactors are hard to regulate below a threshold of about 40% of their peak, which requires base load demand to be reserved just for them if they are to be run.

The last one is almost funny, because the base load problem of nuclear reactors is often somehow portrayed as a benefit. Power production must match power consumption though, so an inflexible power source is a burden. Without the ability to export power to its neighbours, France's reactors would have even less uptime than they have now.

OK. I am here to learn. Say we go with your definition of cache invalidation problem. Do you think that's THE hard part of cache invalidation?

Say, you are just caching simple k/v data (no joins, nothing). Are you claiming cache invalidation is simple in that case?

Also the reason why I didn't mention the cache invalidation dependencies is that _I believe_ it's a solved problem (see the link above, we do operate memcache at scale). I am happy to discuss if and why it wouldn't work for your case.
I’m fully with you. This greatly simplifies tooling by making transpilers entirely optional, meaning you don’t need a complicated setup just to get going. Developers get convenience, users aren’t affected, that’s a win all around.

People may not fully realize this, but the problem with the “just standardize TypeScript” suggestions is that TypeScript is a fast moving target. This is actually well argued in the proposal: lots of meaningful innovation is still happening in that space with more precise checks, which also means that small incompatibilities happen from version to version. That’s okay if we’re talking about dev tooling that a team can choose to upgrade at their own pace. It would be really bad to have browser upgrades affect the functionality of existing websites.

One thing I always thought was interesting was the value placed in having names for marital ties - we treat relations through marriage with not much specific vocabulary in English, with -in-law being inserted for closer relations like brothers and sisters but not for cousin or uncle, for instance. I wonder if Old English had better terminology for such relations that have dropped in the modern version of the language.
All told those cases total less than 200 votes. No one (edit: to be clear - no reasonable folk) claims fraud doesn't happen. Just not on the scale that has been claimed at times, and not enough to tip an election with millions of votes. Could a coordinated attack swing a local race, maybe. But as seen by the links you provided, there are people watching for these kinds of fraud, and people get caught all the time, even when it's just a single extra vote, much less enough to actually make a difference.

I still fail to understand why the US has such a hard time figuring out the simolest of things: elections, healthcare, gun control... I mean almost all developed countries did figure those out ages ago.

Made worse by the fact that even dictatorships solved it better then the US, totalitarian regimes tend to have better rules and control over law enforcement resulting in targeted brutality, and not the random variety, inflicted by badly trained and scared officers, the US seems to have.

This sounds to me like it's probably a proxy for the rise of GC languages. C#, which I reference because it's popular for windows desktop apps, has IDisposable and using() which helps a lot, but isn't mandatory.

I'd prefer if someone who knew how to finish story without killing off the protagonist wrote this novel he's never going to write. It worked ONCE, one time. When Ned Stark was executed it was genuinely surprising and that first book was good enough to inspire many to finish the whole saga. By the end second novel I got the impression he was just trying to recycle the same story, peppering-in bits he picked up from writing workshops. Trying desperately to make new characters people might care about after killing-off anyone interesting. He has no idea how to finish a story other than an abrupt death. Woah, but wait but now Caitlin's a zombie or some shit... Yeah, no. Last you'll ever hear of that.
I didn't realize what was going on until I went to an open mic comedy night. There was a shocking number of comedians who could draw you into a joke with a compelling hook, but only precious who could follow up with a real joke. The thought occurred to me, "This is Martin. A comedian who can't figure out how a joke works." He wrote 1 good book but never grew as an author. Now he's rich and old and I don't blame him if couldn't be bothered to give a shit. Oy, what am I even talking about now? Eh, I think a spiritual successor could take GoT a lot further than he ever will.

I completely agree. There's definitely visible disparity in many aspects of life between different races in America, and I wish people would stop jumping to the conclusion that it must be because of racism.

> Stopping coal, oil and natural gas in the energy and heat sector is hard problems because a lot of influential and power companies and powerful people depend on those things to be cheap in order to continue increase revenues.

How about we forget about those "influential and powerful" people for just a second and worry about the little guy who relies on having cheap energy available to get to work? The ones who, when the price of energy goes up, have to decide between buying vegetables for their kids that week instead of cheap junk food vs filling up the tank to get a paycheck?

Or the ones that live in a not so great house who need to fill up the oil tank to get through winter without freezing to death. Or the ones who live at the edge of death valley and need air conditioning to have a semblance of comfort in the summer? Or the ones who live in apartments with no ability to charge an electric vehicle.

Can we (not you specifically but collectively) please, for once, start worrying about them too instead of pretending the reason this problem is so complex is because of the big bad greedy corporations?

Valve isn't buying steam.com because they don't want to, not because they can't.

> Domain scalpers will demand ridiculous prices if they believe that you are affiliated with a similar-sounding domain or company

Anyone sitting on steam.com right now, thinking that Valve is more likely to buy it tomorrow than they are today is delusional. Domain names and TLDs are becoming less relevant day by day and especially with Valve/Steam's computer savvy, gamer userbase, I don't think they really need steam.com. It could be helpful but if they've already decided they don't want it today then they probably won't change their minds tomorrow.

Anyone have a good reference for how age-adjusted mortality rates are calculated?

There is a bit of a chicken and an egg problem though; the infrastructure for cars makes things less dense. Without removing minimum-parking laws (which is what TFA is about), it will be extremely challenging to build walkable areas.

Thanks for sharing this! That's absolutely concerning, and definitely opens up a possibility for monkey business if fraudsters can just scribble down anything in the signature field. Given the millions of mail ballots in Pennsylvania in 2020, I would expect someone noticing ballot theft at scale (i.e., "I never got my mail ballot but it says I already voted!"), but regardless this is something I would still want corrected if I were a Pennsylvanian. Is the standard still the same?

The signature match is an important part of the mail ballot process, one that even California does.

Maybe it means that I don’t have to preprocess / compile TypeScript before running it. This is a genuine win for me. The TypeScript compiler can continue doing what it does best—type checking—and then I can just run the code. Running the TypeScript compiler from a cold start takes a surprisingly long amount of time.

Currently, I have to figure out how to get a build system that compiles TypeScript once for bundling to the browser and once for running in Node, and the user experience around setting this up is just incredibly bad. It sucks. I make some change to how I build for browser and it turns out to be incompatible with whatever system I am using for Node. This solves part of that problem, and reduces friction. Type annotations can be just part of the JS and stripped out by minification.
