I would be perfectly happy voting third party. I’m also incredibly aware of the risk of splitting votes under the current system. It happened, as an example, in a special election in Hawaii a while back when two Democrats each refused to back out of the race and the lone Republican took office with a plurality that was far from a majority. If there were a runoff, ranked choice, or similar system in place Charles Djou wouldn’t have stood a chance because few would choose him over the other Democrat.

Start with changing the voting system, then we can talk third parties.

He has the likeability of a head of cabbage, so that’s honestly possible

If that cult leader was a factor in him being that racist and white nationalist, and if this is an actual opportunity to pull him away from that, then yes. If isolation from decent people perpetuates the echo chamber I’d rather not let that continue in the name of a grudge.

But if that person tries to hold on to those beliefs they can fuck right off.

Still, people can change and I’ll encourage it in the right direction.

Go poop.

There’s a video of him on the campaign trail taking a question from Maria Butina in 2016. Honestly, listening to him speak now compared to then is a huge difference. He was so much more animated and with it than now, it’s worth a watch.

If this is the fixed version, “kw/h” isn’t a thing. Well, technically it is but doesn’t mean what you think. The unit for energy is kilowatt hours, or kWh. No “per” to be seen.

Kind of like how torque is measured in foot pounds, not foot per pound.

Sorry, I’m just an EV nerd who sees people make that mistake all the time and gets a little twitchy about it

I’m excited for a banana grown right in Wisconsin 😋

Khalil said he plans to share any settlement money with others targeted in Trump’s “failed” effort to suppress pro-Palestinian speech. In lieu of a settlement, he would also accept an official apology and changes to the administration’s deportation policies.

Keep that in mind for those who inevitably try to denigrate him over this

It is also used to transmit data including video. I don’t think an additional byte is noticeable on that kind of scale

If it’s a numeric ID (0-255) assigned to each person in the group, you’d either need to decrement later people or assign based on some kind of lowest available method, in which case you’d get kinda funny UX when new-member-Jerry can be #3 on the list because he’s taking over for old-member-Gerry, or he can be #255 because that’s the last spot.

If we’re talking about pointers, I assume you mean a collection with up to 256 of them. In which case, there are plenty of collection data structures out there that wouldn’t really have a hard limit (and if you go with a basic array, wouldn’t that have a size limit of far more than 256 natively on pretty much any language?)

If each user is assigned a number as to where they’re placed in the group, I guess. But what happens when people are added and removed? If #145 leaves a full group, does #146 and beyond get decremented to make room for the new #256? (or #255 if zero-indexed). It just doesn’t seem like something you’d actually see in code not designed by a first semester CS student.

Also, more importantly, memory is cheap AF now 🤷‍♂️

So, I get that 256 is a base 2 number. But we’re not running 8-bit servers or whatever here (and yes, I understand that’s not what 8-bit generally refers to). Is there some kind of technical limitation I’m not thinking of where 257 would be any more difficult to implement, or really is it just that 256 has a special place in someone’s heart because it’s a base 2 number?

I was looking for “buzzword soup website doesn’t say what the product fucking does”

Maybe that wouldn’t fit in a square
