Just curious, do we get these breakdowns from exit polling or some other source?

Same. I found I was missing out on local events so I made an old.reddit rss feed of my local subreddits and check them every couple days

This is about Apple helping build tools for policing. Not about giving over its customers data to police.

I think both parties want them here, just not legally. Even though we’ve “tightened”restrictions on who can legally come in, we have more people than ever crossing right now. My friend worked as a legal translator at the border for a few years during the presidential switch and was saying it’s a massive mess and the dems didn’t functionally change anything from when trump was in power.

My personal theory is that it looks great for unemployment numbers, making our economy look like it’s skating by when it’s on the brink of recession. We get to add hundreds of thousands of jobs without adding any people to the denominator making it look like the labor market is much stronger than it actually is. Also what other people said about having a sub-citizen population who are more willing to put up with shit so they aren’t deported.

Nah that’s what they’re saying. That people used to say that and they were proved wrong.

I know I’m probably doing it wrong but this is how I feel whenever I write unit tests

That’s interesting. Do you know which states haven’t yet joined/would be the most likely to flip to get to the total?

Yea you’re right. I just thought it was funny that a majority of Americans disprove of something that prevents a majority of Americans from being able to choose something

That’s great but do an electoral college majority want to end the electoral college?

I’m a developer at the biggest one of these systems in America. It is stupid expensive. But we support full electronic patient communication. And most of our competitors do too. I’m sorry you’re stuck with one of the few who doesn’t have that option or are choosing not to use it.

Hopefully they come around in the next decade!

 

Made my gf a keyboard for her birthday and she's enjoying it, but is missing light up indicator when caps lock is on. I know this key sucks and I disabled it on mine but she uses it a lot for her job.

The keyset I got her is completely opaque so you can't really see the caps light unless you're right above the keyboard looking at the edges of the caps key.

I took some spare keys of the same shape and drilled holes right above the indicator light and it shines through pretty well, but want to fill it with something clear to make it look nicer/diffract the light a bit. Does anyone have any recommendations? Was thinking about using polyurethane caused I've used it for random other things and seems like it could work.

Thanks!
