As we can see, in practice, voting for the party and not the MP is a mistake - because there's nothing chaining an MP to the party

I don't have the link to the US census bureau in front of me, but I think as of 2018 more than 50% of employees worked for firms with >500 employees. And, of course, there's nothing preventing a small/medium business from

Couldn't disagree more. I know plenty of folks who hate Smith, but none who'd say they hate "Alberta" or Albertans.

I would be more concerned with the legislation passed last year by the UCP which weakened Elections Alberta's ability to respond to this sort of thing vs. "being friendly", yes.

The data sharing between the CRA and Elections Canada is optional, but if you want to vote, you've got to be registered - whether via the CRA or otherwise.

The people who've opted out of the phone book for reasons like "stalkers", etc., would probably be pretty upset with this, even if they're "few people"

In practice, I think these things correlate more than you think they correlate. I don't think it's "poor character", though, so much as "willing to develop the deep mental model required for effective contribution&q

As someone who worked for a contractor which had Meta as a client, I disagree. All advertiser support agents were given super-read on all profiles & pages, and I never once observed a CSR being questioned on their use of this access in

No amount of rewriting will help you if you, fundamentally, wrote the wrong thing, as is the case here.

They didn't take into account the long-run impacts of the changes on future development, etc. I recommend reading the explanation given by one of the Zig devs, as it's a very clear and solid one.

>Are you suggesting that LLM's can't test for people who use screen readers? Keyboard only users? Slow network requests? I don't think it's feasible to fully simulate the full depth of actual usage, given that (especi

A shield's purpose is to defend, or a bulletproof vest, or... Try using a gun for that and it ain't gonna work. You might say that a gun's purpose is to deter ? But the only way it can defend is by producing lethal force,

Ah, but now your pause menu feels like total garbage to use!

The file format being ambiguous and underspecified enough to mangle is, though.

Depends on what it's doing. Worth noting that you've slipped from "checking whether something works is easy" to "well, it's probably not as harmful as a very notable failure if it fucks up." The bar lowers

As we know from THERAC-25, etc., comprehensively verifying that code works the way it's expected to is not actually very easy - it's perhaps one of the hardest parts of building any system more complex than a toaster.

I do feel like this sinks a post of otherwise reasonable complaints. What "virtue signaling" is discourse even being accused of?

Memory measurements reported in browsers come with substantial caveats, as measuring "how much memory is this tab using" is fairly nontrivial. Not saying there isn't a difference, but you'd need to measure (e.g.) a fresh

Xinput is a pretty constrained interface that plenty of novel controllers, including steering wheels, don't/can't adhere to. Good luck getting the PS5 controller's fancy rumble working over xinput, for example
