No actually my comment was glib, i'd delete it if I could. This is a fine resource, I was grousing about semantics, it was unwarranted.

"We write code that is handed to a compiler, and the compiler takes that code and generates assembly code that will accomplish whatever the C code tells it to." Uhhhh....

I'm both very technical and very handy and my father was neither. My drive to learn both was a deep desire to know how things work. It took me a very long time to figure out why, but after a lot of personal introspection I have discove

Civil lawsuits come down to just one thing in this country: MONEY. Not the law, not what is right or who has been virtuous. Just money. Or more specifically: who has the money. If you are poor and you sue someone who is rich, they control t

This is a great resource run by a great guy: https://www.typewolf.com/ A new sample every day, very cool.

I hope I helped some and I appreciate the feedback, and apologize, for the leaps I made. If your professionalism is beyond reproach and they are calling people 'cowards' and not paying the full amount, a few things are true. 1. Yo

I still love both the look of big hair and they smell of AquaNet. Turns out the data proves it: right when I first starting noticing girls those two things were at a maximum!

It reminds me of this nightmare that was making the rounds a while back: https://sea.mashable.com/culture/3430/people-cant-figure-out...

I agree with you. I think the reason AI hasn't made anything but derivatives is in part because machines are not sentient. 100% of AI is machine learning, there is no heart or conscience. However art is anything that moves you and the

Interesting so maybe the more accurate way to measure is increase LOC + decrease LOC.

What I mean is a variation of all of the above. Transparency, an open license, collaboration, distribution, best practices and more. Clearly I do not expect districts to independently inspect and verify source code any more that we are insp

Upvote for mentioning the Apollo Guidance Computer!

I like that, agreed.

Your last point about the 'insane amount of individual votes' is really the whole problem. In Europe, as I understand it, you vote for a single person and that person does the rest of the voting for your area. I'm sorry if I

So you do not personally vote on (as an example) how much money goes to schools? Your representative does that voting for you. Is that correct?

Sorry could you expand on that a bit more? You only vote on one thing at a time?

That article is unbelivable, eye opening and infuriating.

I could be wrong, but, I have to believe that there are developers who would donate their time to something as fundamental to democracy as voting. Grassroots, not corporate funded. A corporate funded voting system feels like what we already

I'm getting voted down for mentioning this in another section of this discussion, but, is this not the perfect use case for open source? The certification is anyone and everyone can double check the source code. If this is a bad idea,

I agree with that to a degree. The problem is we are trading off technical problems for corruption. For counting things, it seems like computers would be a good fit.

No, unfortunately not. You will get people who will put all 1s or a 6 here and there.
