He claimed that the election was stolen and provoked the event, he knew his supporter base.

I also don't have a horse in the race, I'm not american and this is me exposing some of the lies around his presidency. He did it once and he will do it again. I don't see why I should belive that he somehow changed.

The media coverage around this guy is so insane that he can do whatever he wants and you'll still have people who will deny it.

> Coupled with that, most people ignore testing for error conditions or simulating errors, so the error handling has a very high likelihood of having bugs.

Er, is Rust any different in that regard? As I said, I tend to think the `?` operator would make that worse, as the error path is so much less visible. In Golang if you don't test your error path, at least it will be listed as having no coverage -- is the same thing true in Rust?
To be fair, you're not a typical European (or Brit). Out of curiosity what are you thinking?
"Better marketing" campaign is another word for saying that they understood people's concerns better and were thus able to use that to their advantage instead of insulting the people they were supposed to convince (as the Remain campaign did). This is what Cummings did to win.
I’ve seen more than a few comments and tips on HN about how to keep one’s TV from phoning China.
I am also critical of Israel's far-right government and their brutal war, and I was also worried that the protest vote might swing the election. But this narrative is not supported by the numbers we're seeing.

Even in Michigan, Trump has a lead of >100K. Stein is at 36K, and RFK and the Libertarian party have a combined 47K. The Uncommitted Movement mobilized otherwise-unlikely voters.

There is no Democratic Power Play.

That’s the issue. When Dems control the amygdala they might have a shot.
So, accelerationism?
This is likely game over for Democrats and democracy in the US. Democracy has already been on the backslide here for some time, so it’s not overly surprising, but I don’t expect either to last the next couple of years.
It works pretty well for most common packages, if a rare package/dependency fails is mostly nix problem to solve upstream.
I'm an Israeli who was born in Ukraine and lives in the Netherlands. And I care a lot about the outcome of the US election because of Israeli military partnership that is going to be affected by the new administration and because of the new US administration trying to break free from NATO, which will put my livelihood and that of those close to me in danger due to the looming war with Russia. Not to mention that I don't expect to see a lot of the male classmates to show up at the next class reunion because of how US foreign policies will affect the war in Ukraine.
>Calling someone Hitler when they clearly aren't is also not going to help people support you especially AFTER he was president before and they experienced a presidency under him lol.

One bigly reason I voted for Trump was because his first term was by far the most peaceful both this country and the world at-large ever was in my lifetime.

For four years we didn't start or join any new wars, we even flat out refused to when the military industrial complex begged to Trump to start one with Iran after they shot down one of our drones. North Korea didn't fire a single missile and China wasn't anywhere as loud with their saber-rattling (I'm Japanese-American, I care deeply about Japanese security). Russia didn't invade Ukraine. Israel and Hamas/Hezbollah/et al. weren't brutally killing each other.

For four god damn years life was actually peaceful, and I want that again.
It strongly depends on the quantities you're dealing with. From the sounds if it you're working at low volumes, so you're not likely to get much of a response from the manufacturers themselves. Instead, you're basically gonna be working with the big suppliers like digikey, mouser, etc. You can get a quote for a BOM from them, and sometimes that'll be a discount, but also in general you're gonna be spending a lot more on overhead of organising/setting up/building a board than you are on the components for a small volume run.

NB, that style does not play well with non-native DPI (e.g. when you have monitor set to 150% scale); to see it mapped to physical pixels, try running this in the browser's console:

with(document.documentElement.style){
transform = `scale(${ 1 / devicePixelRatio })`;
transformOrigin = 'top left';
}

(multiply the scale by whole number to get it "crisply zoomed").

Still not 100% perfect, but much closer to intended rendering, I guess.
Right now it's Russia bombing them, and Trump threatening to withdraw vital support.
Huh? Since when is a zygote not alive? It has a cell membrane, contains genetic material, has metabolism, can maintain homeostasis, and can grow. That's pretty much the definition of life.

Do you also think neurons, muscle cells, etc are also not alive?

The abortion debate is not about whether or not the thing that gets removed during abortion is life--I doubt you can find any competent biologist who would say it is not--but rather whether that particular cell or group of cells should be treated different than other cells or groups of cells in your body.

E.g., why should abortion be any different from removing tonsils or from circumcision, both of which also involve the removal and death of living cells from the body?

I’m taking a shot in the dark here but I’m guessing they voted R themselves, we can all portray ourselves to be objective in comments when we really aren’t. This happens a lot on social media, especially the faux-smart part.

The impeachments and conviction were perceived by his voters, rightly or wrongly, as cheap political acts done by a corrupt administration. And his opponent, elected in the primaries, was pulled away for actual dementia. If you want to win people over, this is the exact opposite of the way to do it.

All other things aside, don't you think choosing a convicted sex offender over an empty suit is quite damning on its own? Are his values the values USA wants to promote both internally and externally? Apparently so. :(
It's clear that this is actually what the American voters want. It's not a glitch or a fluke or a quirk of the system.

Which is not really very strange, or unreasonable. I felt this was a fairly good article on that: https://thedispatch.com/newsletter/boilingfrogs/liberal-tear...
~99.9% of studies agree on human-caused climate change [0].

We know, with absolute certainty for an undeniable fact, that Exxon's own climate scientists skillfully and accurately predicted climate change as a result of increasing fossil fuel use [1].

And we know that Exxon's response to that was to systematically sow doubt for decades, using tobacco-lobby style FUD tactics.

And yet you want us to err on the side of apocalypse. "What if we create a better world, and it was all for nothing".

You've been conned. I know how difficult it is to show someone they've been made a fool of, and I won't try. In fact, I agree with you that in many cases science ought to be questioned - lobotomies, mockery of germ theory, racism presented as science based, Daszak's infamous Lancet paper, etc.

On climate change though, there's very little to respect on the side of deniers. I would argue that, at this point, denying anthropogenic climate change amounts to treason against life.

What did she accomplish?
Just the way it is. Most of the "growth" in the last 4 years went to top-wage earners; the bottom (that is, the majority of people) did not see their wages grow faster than inflation. The US has a very particular class of highly educated professionals who live in very specific neighbourhoods that tend to be fairly closed off socially from the rest of society; they have all benefitted tremendously from the Biden/Harris presidency and are her strongest supporters. On the other hand, many Americans who never went to college or never got a Bachelor's at least make much less money on average and have seen food prices and rents skyrocket over the last four years and if they had any savings they've essentially evaporated. These two groups of people don't generally talk to each other.
You can easily look at any news site for this.
Did Trump say that he will "deport all brown people"? Or that he will do a "full ethnic cleansing"?
They absolutely are here in Canada. Especially around climate change because Canada is an oil exporter. And they will be emboldened by what just happened in the US.

Alberta outright banned renewables development for 6 months and then slapped a huge set of restrictions on them after that "moratorium" was lifted. A tax on electric car owners added. The conservative parties nationally are on a constant drum beat about the national carbon tax and it's doomed. Weak emissions caps we have are also doomed. Any little things that have been done for the last 10 years will be undone.

At a recent party convention in Alberta, the ruling party passed a climate denial resolution as official party policy.

Amazingly lots of people on this forum trying to sanitize what these people are about.
An unsurprising result. There is a worrying global rise in right-wing popularism and this is part of it.

We can look forward to more war, more crime, more suffering, more scapegoating of minorities. This is the start of a long decline that ends in death and destruction.

That Harris and Trump were apparently the best that the US political machine could spew up as choices to run one of the most powerful countries in the world is concerning in itself. Just shows how severely politics is broken in the US.
This once again highlights how bad the ecosystem with 3rd party tools used for basic system maintenance in the MS environment is. And how much companies and admins rely/depend on those.

I don't really understand why there are so many commercial third party tools being used to do basic things. But they cost a good amount of money and cause a lot of problems.
What makes you sure the GOP will revert to the pre-2016 era? I believe that unless MAGA-style politics somehow gets repudiated before the general election in 2028, the future of the GOP is MAGA. The next presidential nominee will be in the mold of Trump, maybe less bombastic, but will follow similar policies on social and economic issues.

I think a fatal strategy for never-Trumpers is to assume that Trump and MAGA will go away. Every gaffe and every scandal seems to strengthen Trump. It hasn’t gone away, and we will have to live with the consequences. Perhaps a better strategy is to accept that the GOP these days is the MAGA party, and we need new strategies for competing in future elections.
To declare an arbitrary date when a human being starts to be a human being is so hypocritical, its no longer funny. Actually, I would call that ignorant and evil.
It is probably one of the factors, but not the only one. Or maybe it's part of the "not a meaningful difference" factor.
You're on to something. I think Scott Galloway got it right in this interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jzLmznS91kM

The Democratic party has a problem communicating to young white men why they should vote democrat. The party doesn't speak to them at all. I don't think there's much wrong with the policies. It could perhaps use some more policies targeting men's rights. But it's mostly a communication problem. Young men don't feel seen by the democratic party, and the democrats need to realize this and fix it for the next election.
Also interesting to note that the combined mass of all planets in the solar system is only about 1.4 Jupiter masses (or 0.0014 Solar masses). The Sun did not leave us much to work with if we’re hoping to build a second star!
> I'm not a biblical scholar at all, but IIRC, the timelines of when those works were created doesn't support this idea

We don't know when they were created. The traditional dating are just badly supported assumptions. We absolutely do not have clear evidence that one is after the other. Its actually the other way around, its textual analysis that lead people to conclude that one must have been before the other. So if you change the analysis you also potentially change assumed dates.

> which is why the general consensus among actual biblical scholars is that there is some other work or works that the older two borrowed from

The field is actually very much split on this issue. Conservatives are still holding on to Q but even the people who believe in Q, have no uniform definition and what Q is has a wild amount of variation. So at best one can say that most people agree that some earlier source was involved.

In the last 30 years, there has been a ton of movement against the traditional Q arguments. And I think its fair to say that there isn't a clear consensuses among scholars at secular schools. And many people simply say that they are not really sure.

> If the simpler explanation that you prefer actually made sense, they'd have never come up with the other theory.

You have a totally oversized believe in the infallibly of science. This field was utterly dominated by conservative scholars or outright priests for 1900 years, it took 100s of years to move away from simply Matthew priority as claimed in Church tradition.

Having these sources being independent was a core assumption of much of christian scholarship, and questioning that fundamental assumption was not easily done (and doing so could impact your job). In the 1880s the strong believe in independent tradition basically required people to come up with a solution to preserve that, or it would overthrow a huge amount of traditional history.

If you start without 2000 years of church history and assumptions, and you just straightforwardly think about it, Q isn't the thing you would reach for.

> That seems mostly unrelated to the concept of whether or not the earlier books borrowed from a previous shared source or sources.

Yes it does. Because one version of Luke might have copied from one version of Matthew. Mark in its final might be later then both. But all of them might contain stuff from an earlier gospel. As long as you are comparing fixed text and ask 'what was first', you are already fundamentally of track.

You need to go threw these text bit by bit and figure out difference in the different layers. Once you do that talking only about the finish forms isn't really helpful at all.
That seems like a partisan take rather than an objective one.
Germany is in a slow death spiral. What you are seeing right now is basically the scene from Animal Farm where Boxer, the working horse, has been injured [1]. The burden on the productively working citizens is growing, because money is required to finance the migration policy, oversized healthcare system, the huge pension payments for the ageing population (there is no pension fund) and government spending. Also, tax revenue is shrinking(!). The current government is asleep at the steering wheel, so industry may continue to leave the country, which will again reduce tax revenue, so the government will have to further increase the burden on the productive sector, which will again result in weakening the economy.

So many doomers everywhere. This is exactly the same rhetoric as in 2016. Do y'all hear yourself? America isn't going anywhere, democracy isn't dead, calm down. The world won't end, and you know it. Being so over-the-top is why democrats lost anyways.
Nobody voted for Vance (or for vice presidents generally.) I've seen nothing to suggest he has the kind of popularity or RNC establishment support that would make him a viable presidential candidate. The only way he gets there is if Trump dies, which is possible but not relevant to the DNC's strategy for the next election.
Give it a rest. Don’t be so dramatic.
where is "stop the count", "rigged elections" and other messaging like this?
it's disappointing that democrats can't call that out
I think you’re confusing the electoral college with the Senate.

There are two senators per state regardless of population, so low-population rural states have an outsized influence in the Senate.

In the electoral college, each state is weighted by population. It’s unavoidably biased (just by the nature of chunking votes into seats and states) but it doesn’t consistently favor either side.
Are you really going on and calling people that have different opinions stupid with that word salad?
"Working by accident" is still "working" though, so from the standpoint of the person using it, the reason doesn't matter. I'd also argue that the main point made above about docker wasn't that it's reliable, but that it gives developers more feedback when trying to work with it. For people who's goal isn't just to consume builds but write their own, existing Nix builds being deterministic does nothing to help them if trying to modify or borrow parts of them leads to issues they can't easily fix.

I think Nix fits a pattern that's happened in plenty of other domains where the technology that focused on doing things "right" failed to win out against a competitor doing things "wrong" but optimizing for a lower barrier of entry. The logic that a perfect solution is worth an up-front cost is compelling, since having an imperfect solution has a long-term cost that never goes away, but this misses the fact that pushing the cost until later has value of its own; making things easier today at the cost of tomorrow buys time to improve things before the cost is incurred.

At the risk of a convoluted metaphor, imagine that someone moves into a new house and calls two plumbers asks them to hook up the water in their bathroom. The first plumber says that they can get it done so the bathroom can be used today, but they'll need to come by again in a week or two since they might need to make additional adjustments. The second plumber says they've come to with a way to make sure that they never need to come back to make adjustments, but it will take them a full week to finish setting it up before anyone can use it.

For most people, it doesn't matter if the second plumber's solution will be better next week if they need to use the bathroom today, as long as the first plumber's solution can last long enough before it needs to be fixed.
Very well said sir. They also don't understand the regular American. Who has to put food on the table without a college degree.

Don’t be so dramatic. You’re still eating aren’t you?
Do…people really think that prices will go down when cheap foreign labor is off the table? Do they think we can establish replacement infrastructure at comparable costs in months or a couple of years? Will they want to work those jobs for comparable pay to keep the costs of goods stable?
If Hitler then used that line to try and justify murdering millions of brussels sprout eaters, then yes. Otherwise you've missed the point by an almost impressive margin.
