senkora,

In one episode of GameChanger, the host mentions a few others that they weren’t aware of when the intro text was written: Taskmaster (which is awesome) and Ellen’s Game of Games.

Growing Support for Gay Marriage: Changed Minds and Changing Demographics (USA) (2013) (www.pewresearch.org)

The rise in support for same-sex marriage over the past decade is among the largest changes in opinion on any policy issue over this time period. A new national survey finds that much of the shift is attributable to the arrival of a large cohort of young adults – the Millennial generation – who are far more open to gay...

senkora,

This also happened with the crew of the Ever Given for months, after it was dislodged from the Suez Canal: foreignpolicy.com/…/ever-given-suez-crew-stuck-sh…

I did some research into this out of curiosity. It turns out that the 30 day requirement for local and state elections was decided by the Supreme Court in Dunn v. Blumstein (1972) as an application of the Equal Protection clause of the 14th Amendment, on the basis that states already allowed long-time residents to register to vote up to 30 days before an election and that restricting new residents from doing so was arbitrary.

That seems like pretty solid precedent and I would expect that this rule will never change, barring exceptional Supreme Court shenanigans.

Oh, the non-citizen voting stuff. Yeah, that’s kinda weird. It does seem like every instance so far has been for local or specifically school-board elections. Ballotpedia has a comprehensive article on it: ballotpedia.org/Laws_permitting_noncitizens_to_vo…

I think my personal viewpoint is as follows:

  1. It is probably reasonable for legal resident aliens who have lived in a school district for 30 days and who have a child in the public school system to vote in school board elections.
  2. I don’t know what to think about legal resident aliens being able to vote in local municipal elections. I live in NYC (which attempted to enable this option, but it was struck down in court as violating the state constitution) and this would significantly alter the voting landscape of the city. I’ll have to think about it more.
  3. I don’t think that undocumented resident aliens should be able to vote in any elections.
  4. I don’t think that legal or undocumented resident aliens should be able to vote in state elections.

And of course the right to vote in federal elections has been explicitly reserved to US citizens by congress.

senkora,

As someone who has two packs of that in his pantry right now, that stuff is awesome.

senkora,

They actually did do something similar to this but with beer. They extracted ancient yeast DNA from 45mya that was preserved in amber and used it to brew beer.

Unfortunately no longer available, which is quite the shame since I really want to try it lol.

senkora,

The Target app is the best that I’ve seen for customers. It won’t plan your route, but you can search for items and it will tell you the aisle, location within the aisle, and stock level for any item at your local store.

How do you holistically document microservices in a multi-repo setup?

Let’s say I had a few microservices in different repositories and they communicated over HTTP using JSON. Some services are triggered directly by other microservices, but others can be triggered by events like a timer going off, a file being dropped into a bucket, a firewall rule blocking X amount of packets and hitting a...

senkora,

I just gave PlantUML + the C4 Plugin a try and generally liked it, thank you for the rec!

It seems like a good tool although it inherits all the joys and pains of automatic graph layout.

I think I’ll keep it in my arsenal for detailed diagrams that can handle being a little aesthetically wonky.

I hadn’t heard of C4 before and it seems like a solid idea.

senkora,

My spiciest anime hot take is that the Netflix adaption of Death Note was actually pretty good.

The problem was that anyone who liked the anime would hate it and vice versa, so it had no audience.

But if you disliked the anime, then I highly recommend checking out the Netflix adaption.

It answers the question “what if Light were cringe”.

senkora,

Today, I wanted to make a module for my AwesomeWM status bar

It’s great when simple tools let you extend them like this. It may be kinda hacky sometimes but oftentimes a small, tightly-scoped extension that you develop for yourself can give you a lot of value.

senkora,

Canonically, the True Power (of the Dark One) was granted only to those who served him, whereas the One Power was open to all channelers. This makes a “One Power” subscription very funny to me.

senkora,

No matter where you go, everyone’s connected.

senkora,

I hope you’re on a long LTS release my friend

senkora,

100% equals one full core. Higher numbers are possible for multithreaded processes.

senkora,

He seems to be one of those people who’s incredibly rude to service workers. He was banned from a restaurant in NYC and the owner went off on his behavior there:

senkora,

+1. The joy of camping (for me) is that your experience is directly related to your preparation. You plan your location, activities, meals, sleeping arrangements, and companions, doing all of the research and investment up front to make each of those work well, taking into account weather and conditions, and then you get to enjoy a trip where everything goes well with people you care about, with the satisfaction that the experience that you are having is the direct result of your actions.

Of course, the pain of camping is that any and all of the above can go wrong, and then, indeed, it’s probably gonna suck.

senkora,

I’ve seen buildings like this in the West Village.
