Visual critique (if that was the ask): BSD is somewhat hard to make out in the her hair.
As I get more of her story, and see interesting IRL developments, I wonder about the computer systems of her world. Do they have the same ISAs as ours? If so, did RISC beat CISC? If not, do they use inputs and outputs not possible in our world?
Based on Unix and GNU?
My dev VM is almost entirely disposable. Could be up and running again, fresh in 30-60min, not counting time to pull the repo. Why use a local db server? Seems weird to me but, I came to development through SysAdmin and support stuff, so, was used to not owning the machine that I was on. That probably has heavily influenced my workflow.
Out of curiosity, would you mind sharing a bit any the languages/frameworks and workflows that you are using? I’m mainly using Go, C++, Python, and a few others and just having trouble figuring out how I’d arrive at a situation like that. No CI/CD and test systems?
That sounds like a dream. I use an MBP for work because the alternative is Windows. It really just ends up being a glorified ssh terminal to get to my Linux VM. I felt bad enough at one point that I switched to kitty to make better use of the M2 capabilities.
Whoa, whoa, whoa… Who said anything about third-party?
Oh thank fuck.
I thought Biden was too old and too right-wing in 2020.
… And let’s acknowledge that we need to take a chance at an open convention or face a guaranteed loss.
The only problems that I see with an open convention are candidate name recognition for those who pay no attention and the fact that GOP states have already been trying fuckery with the ballots.
Indeed. I’d really suggest going for something based upon Internet Protocol, with any software that you need at endpoints to read and/or transmit. I might poke about at some ideas on the weekend (long holiday). What languages are you thinking to use?
And I agree that that’s fucked - I didn’t want him either. But, that’s still where we are. It’s like when Gov. Newsom announced the deadline for public comments on PG&E, the day of. Not ok but the government and political systems are moving forward and it’s hop on the train or leave democracy behind.
It’s not fair. Neither is the world. It’s our job to try to make it more fair and just. That means acting strategically and supporting these that will cause less harm to vulnerable populations and provide opportunities for positive changes, rather than use government power to actively and intentionally make lives worse. Not the time for tantrums and letting perfect be the enemy of good (or at the least, not sinking into theofascism).
Just because the team captain of the 49ers isn’t able to slam dunk as many field goals as he used to doesn’t mean you should replace him with a rookie enforcer when you’re about to go to plate against the New York Patriots.
How’s that?
That’s what the primary was for.
Primaires are over. That was the time to select the DNC candidate.
He could be a bowl of jelly and it wouldn’t make a difference. He’s just the head of the Executive branch, where his job is pretty much signing/vetoing bills, hiring cabinet members, and nominating judges (with advice from said cabinet members). The alternative is a Nazi supported by the lines of the swastika-waving Nazis seen in Florida.
Nope. That’s Denying the Correlative. In the general election, there are two choices of statistical significance, supporting the DNC candidate, or supporting the RNC candidate. The Right is consistent in voting and wins when there is lower turnout for the DNC candidate (they are a minority). Third parties are spoilers, generally bleeding votes from the DNC candidate, making it more likely that the RNC candidate wins.
The Democratic primary ended in early June. That was the time to get Robin in. Now, it’s too late for that and the choice is between Alfred, who should be retired, and the Joker, who should be retired and wants to replace democracy with a dictatorship, put anyone who was mean to him in prison, and expand ongoing genocides where he thinks that he can profit off of the real estate that used to belong to the murdered inhabitants.
I notice you ignored that part entirely.
Erm what?..
I don’t recall you mentioning that, apologies if I missed it. My main point has been that, unless things change, there are literally two choices under the electoral system that is available.
Can we try to pressure the DNC? Yes. Is replacing Biden on the ballot or an option that most voters can choose? No. Political parties in the US are considered private entities with no obligation to pay attention to voters.
Maybe there’s pigz for when she needs to decompress quickly? Possibly with a mojito.
Good call. You might try games like Tomb Raider or the first Prince of Persia reboot for movement accuracy.
ETA: Just to be absolutely clear, the “/J” was “jerk” like the old “circlejerk” subs, not serious. You probably know that but I’d rather be sure and not assume as I don’t think being dicks to eachother makes the world a better place.
L2P n00b! /J
In seriousness though, I find the trackpads to be very useful for precision. Unfortunately, you have to build up the skill, like anything else. Work at it over time and you should get there. For practice, really depends on what you want to play. I’d suggest something that has a good system for criticals/headshots. Looks like Aim Lab might work on the deck, so maybe try that?
Hope they don’t start gutting budgets, loading up the balance sheet with debt, and siphoning off profits.
Oh, they will.
But we’re talking about the federal government, not states…
Federal law puts elections in the hands of the States.

Thank you for clarifying!
