the lead dev has gone on the record that using singular they in the documentation is putting politics into his project, so i expect it to be possibly technically interesting (emphasis on possibly), but no effort put into accessibility and with a fucking horrendous dev community.

i think the way they want it to be understood is "if elected, i will so thoroughly address all of the issues you care about that you don't have to vote on them again", which is kind of reasonable until you try working out how that would happen

clearly foreign adversaries are trying to sap and impurify our precious bodily fluids

i know at one point they were quite proud to have a federal (DHS i think?) cybersecurity department on there. like, there was an announcement. this was a couple years ago, so i guess stuff may have changed since then, but i don't trust like that.

from what that link says, it sounds like the rule was made mostly to get around employers saying "this part of your paycheck is a bonus, not a wage, so it's exempt from the time and a half rule"

nah, that's a load bearing personal fantasy. once you put it in, it's never coming out.

i know i'm not the first to make this comparison, but everytime another one of these embarrassing misstatements comes out, i remember the dean scream

so, start with:

x = 0.999...

now multiply each side by 10

10x = 9.9999....

now we subtract x from the left side, and 0.999... from the right, which is fine because they are equal:

9x = 9

and from there it should be fairly obvious that x is also equal to 1, which means 0.999... is also equal to 1

that's an ergonomic nightmare. the keyboard is too high and the screen is too low. if you use that for more than a couple minutes at a time your shoulders will hate you.
