As a rule I'm generally not a huge fan of taxation, but I'd be happy to see my tax dollars go towards a system like you propose here.

Can you name a country where an actually observably valid election takes place?

And by this I mean an election where, somehow, an individual would be able to see their individual ballot make it from wherever they cast it, to the counter, and could see how their specific ballot impacted/didn't impact the broader vote, and where (again, somehow) there was proof that no artificial or false votes were cast in the name of citizens who either don't exist or didn't participate.

Even if there was a livestrem of the vote counting, that would mean nothing if we didn't see every step of transportation for every single vote from the ballot box to the counters office.

A truly observably fair election is practically impossible if you mean to have any significant number of voters.

Yeah, fair enough. I didn't think about starting it off with my own. I should have, good point.

So even longer! I was under the impression, for whatever reason, that it happened in the 90's. Looks like 50 years would have been closer to the mark.

Women have been able to vote in Switzerland for, what, 30 years now? A bit behind a lot of other countries for sure, but let's not act like that has or should have any bearing on this subject of this post.

The article addresses that

Yeah but I thought it would be interesting to get a more HN centric dataset

Sure.

There are programmimg discord servers where I think most of the kind and helpful programmers find themselves today. At least, that's been my observation.

Thanks for being the only one to respond, I was hoping this thread would gain more traction but it unfortunately did not.

Where was this?

I feel this may also be in part from panic-fatigue (for lack of a better word). I'm 23 and it feels as if since the earliest memories of childhood I've seen commercials and initiatives about how the environment is in horrible shape and we need to fix it or we're all going to die.

That's not an exaggeration, truly it's been a subject that's been fear-mongered on for decades now. Perhaps the fear-mongering is justified. It is a real issue. But it's a but difficult to continue caring when you've been told that we're facing imminent doom since childhood and nothing directly observable has happened yet.

You don't have to know the solution to a problem to know when a proposed one isn't it.

I agree with the sentiment so this comment is more of a nitpick than anything constructive, but I do feel you may have missed the mark with the typescript example.

Even if you don't want to use TS in it's full glory, you can just rename your files with a `.ts`, turn strict mode off, run everything through the compilation step, and weed out a category of simple mistakes from that alone. Add in that you can slowly add in certain rules to reach a level of strictness as you need and I see no reason how a JS dev would be better off writing vanilla JS than at least using TS and only running the compile step. Of course, I think taking the time to learn and fully utilize typescript the best path forward, even those with absolutely no desire to learn it can utilize some of it's strengths by reading the docs for 15 minutes.

Far from an unnecessary complexity, it's because an incredibly helpful tool at all levels.

Well I don't think they were asking in an adversarial way like you might find on SO.

Seems as if they just wanted some insight into my decision making process and why I chose to do x over y so they can better make the decision themselves.

Why not both? Being able to better understand and appreciate Rust is one of a couple factors motivating me to learn C. The others being gaining historical context when analyzing modern c-based languages, being able to effectively read from some of the greatest codebases in the world, and the desire to learn a language that's small enough to fit inside my head and can run anywhere.

As a matter of fact, that's part of the reason I want to learn C. I started learning Rust, and see a lot of potential, but ultimately find I lack the context to:

1. Appreciate the language. 2. Really understand what's happening in memory.

I hope that learning C will provide both of these things, while also gaining the benefit of learning one of the only widely used languages that I can fit in my head all at once.

I plan to use CLion

Well for self-teaching Python and JS/TS/html/CSS I mainly just followed YouTube videos with a healthy dose of side projects.

For learning Elixir I bought "Elixir in Action" and then supplemented with my own side projects.

I wonder how this utopia would hinder further technological and scientific advancement. There will still be the curious and the capable of course, but I can't help but think that their output and rate of advancement alone would be far below what a strong, private industry sector is capable of.

It sure seems like the only issues are those on mobile

Yes it can, in very small amounts. You'd have to eat a ton of the synthesis precursors as a vegan to obtain anywhere near the optimal amount or to approach what a meat/fish-eater gets in their regular diet.

The literature is abundantly clear on this.

This has nothing to do with the law and every to do with the HOA that the people in this article from 2009 willing joined when they bought their home.

I know it's fun to hate on the USA at every given opportunity but this is less some systemic issue with the US and more a squabble between a few individuals who are violating a contract they chose to sign, and their neighbors who also signed said contract because they wanted to live in a place without laundry flapping about.

The evidence is very clear that it's beneficial if you have a dietary deficiency (which you almost certainly do). If not for the proven physical benefits, the cognitive benefits alone are likely worth it. Where the evidence is ambiguous is how beneficial it is for someone who meets minimum daily dietary intake to then supplement it.

Just curious, do you take creatine? It's typically a workout supplement but vegans tend to be deficient in it and can really notice measurable cognitive and physical improvements.

Hey,sorry for naivety here, but do you mean the Department of Justice? Why would they call you about the merger?

I've tried mapping out various execution paths, tracking what deps are used where, etc. It certainly helps in the context of a singular action or maybe even a set of interconnected actions, but beyond a certain complexity I just get lost.

Thanks for the suggestions!

Thanks for your response.

I've been involved and making small changes since my first week. I'm at a point now that I should have a clearer picture of the larger system, but there's still so much I don't understand or have difficulty with.

If I were to switch roles, I imagine another agency would really be my only option if I wanted to avoid large codebases, right? I'm also a bit hesitant to "give up" so soon, but that may be my pride thinking for me.

Did I say anywhere that she wasn't a conservative? You clearly misunderstand the no true Scotsman fallacy.
