If citizenship is required to vote then how would accessing voter rolls suppress liberal voters? Honest question; I'm not concern trolling. I had to Google who's allowed to vote. I found this article[1] by the Brennan Center. It a

Excited for the 2D calculator. The 1D calculator is very timely because I'll be framing a few walls soon. It is indeed just a circle.

As of yesterday I decided I want to try adding a GTK runtime for Elm. Write Elm, compile to JS, execute with QuickJS, bridge to GTK, render a native app using the JS state machine. The goal is basically what's listed on the Elm website

Great catalogue. On the topic of msgspec, since pydantic is included it may be worth including a bench for de-serializing and serializing from a msgspec struct.

I had similar emotions. The cover of 21 Questions by the same YouTuber is even better. And other covers of Mario's "Let Me Love You" and Mariah Carey's "All I Want For Christmas" are equally mind blowing. I&#x2

You could argue that point but you would need evidence which showed trade with dictatorships resulted in peace in Europe. To that point, my gut reaction is that peace in Europe is a product of internal politics, MAD, American imperialism, a

Node count doesn't matter. You could use an embedded database and encounter the same problem. There is some time T between when you acquire a lock and release it. Depending on the amount of contention in your system, this will have som

I'm writing a programming language for feature-flags/remote-config. I figure a simple DSL has to be an improvement over YAML or a series of forms in a web app. I'm also generally disappointed by the lack of testing that'

It's better than a professor in some respects. A professor can teach me about parser combinators but they probably can't teach me about a specific parser combinator library. There's a lot of specificity that AI can give over

Why are we pretending like LVT doesn't exist already? I pay taxes on my land. Those taxes are calculated based on size and location. The Disney example is particularly egregious. They pay taxes on the land AND the structures they built

Not very kitsch of the participants in those atrocities. I'm not sure what that has to do with people alive today.

The same reason a sovereign state can't act unilaterally in any domain -- diplomacy. If your actions affect another (or even just inspire interest) then the other party may make decisions which affect your country.

It will be interesting to compare compile times afterwards. I'm also interested if there's any Rust features that are 'taken for granted' which will make the Zig version less pleasant to read or write. Hopefully the old

In my district, direct democracy determines the level of tax. They can't, for example, pass a law that collects a tax on business income or whatever. They could probably collect usage fees of some sort. I'm thinking in school f

In many places in the US, though probably not all, school districts levy their own taxes independent of municipal or county governments. The reason we might not describe school boards as "the government" is, well, they don't

I really disliked the call out of the Alacritty maintainer. The license entitles you to fork the repo if you want to package a different icon. It does not entitle you to free labor regardless of your perception of its importance or triviali

I expect interns to learn and CEOs to lead. If your decisions lead to mass layoffs then you need to lead the way to the unemployment line.

The latter. If you can not manage the company correctly and it leads to the job losses of hundreds of people not to mention the millions in salary that was wasted by their poor planning then yes they should be immediately relieved and not a

I agree. I attribute that mostly to NixOS though. It reminds me of the old Prince of Persia game where I could make a mistake, rewind time, and try again. I find Ubuntu and others to be pretty fragile still. IMO, technologically Linux ha
