  • I can give you a bunch of arguments against it. You can just go look at my history if you want a bunch of sources. Not really possible to boil it down to a short and sweet answer sadly, but in general there are much better voting methods and ones that vastly fewer problems. RCV was invented before we had a lot of data on elections and how people vote and we’ve learned a lot since then. RCV is almost always a bad choice if you’re trying to implement a new system. Either go with approval for simplicity, or STAR or 3-2-1 if you want a very good election system with all of the benefits of RCV and none of the drawbacks.

  • I think you have got to be meme'ing. You literally wrote 7 paragraphs about how to build something for python when for other languages it's literally a single command. For Ruby, it's literally bundle. Nothing else. Doesn't matter if it's got C packages or not. Doesn't matter if it's windows or not. Doesn't matter if you have a different project one folder over that uses an older gem or not. Doesn't matter if it's 15 years old or not. One command.

    Just for comparison for gradle it's ./gradlew build For maven is mvn install For Elixir it's mix deps.get mix compile For node it's npm install

    every other language it's hardly more than 1 command.

    Python is the only language that thinks that it's even slightly acceptable to have virtual environments when it was universally decided upon decades ago to be a tremendously bad idea. Just like node_modules which also was known to be a bad idea before npm decided to try it out again, only for it to be proven to be a bad idea right off the bat. And all the other python build tools have agreed that virtual envs are bad.

  • and yet that all works fine in Ruby, which came out around the same time as Python and yet has had Bundler for 15 years now.

    Python - 15+ package managers and build tools Ruby - 1

    the closest language to look at for packaging is probably lua, which has similar issues. however since lua is usually not a standalone application platform it’s not a big deal there.

    no the closest language is literally Ruby, it's almost the exact same language, except the tooling isn't insane and it came out only a few years after python.

  • You have been in lala land for too long. That list of things to do is insane. Venv is possibly one of the worst solutions around, but many Python devs are incapable of seeing how bad it is. Just for comparison, so you can understand, in Ruby literally everything you did is covered by one command bundle. On every system.

  • No, these types have been the Christians making news since the 80s. There are plenty of actual Christians who actually read the Bible and know what it says, over the maniacs who just say they’re Christian because they grew up in the south. Just look at the split of the Methodist church for exactly how many churches have quietly been teaching true Christianity for decades. The extremists were loud and embarrassed the church and so the church cut them out.

  • If there was any doubt that they were using this to get people to register to vote, this added detail should make it pretty clear. They were telling people who weren't registered to register in order to get paid / enter a lottery.

    Which is super illegal, so they just admitted it in court. They don’t care though because if it works they just get the carrot to pardon them.

  • If you read the article it’s about a previous election and the decisions regarding that. Republicans are making the argument that the court’s announcement is going to cause ballot counters to count incorrectly (per what is already decided and has nothing to do with the previous election).
