I think ranked choice voting and the popular vote interstate compact can happen at the state level. Just needs more local campaigning.

Then people would feel more empowered to vote for who they really want. I think that would be a big push towards nominating an actual progressive candidate.

Both Clinton and Reagan were economic neoliberals. It is neoliberal policy that has fucked us.

Monster

74 episodes. Psychological thriller. Serial murder mystery, but instead of "whodunit?" it's "whydunit?". Dramatic as an opera. No weird tropes. Superb character development. I love Magnificent Steiner.

I think it would help narrow things down if you described what kind of website you want to build.

Same. I also found that, for my usage, I wasn't actually saving any money compared to the unlimited data plan.

Can you really call Matrix "fediverse software" if it doesn't implement ActivityPub and therefore doesn't federate with the majority of Fediverse instances?

Not my main rig, but my most unusual is 32-bit Yocto Linux on an Intel Edison that I got for free from a college professor that worked for Intel.

Yocto is awful. I mean it has a niche I guess, but there is basically no package manager. Somehow I managed to install a Rust toolchain on it, but it couldn't build the web server I wanted to run on it.

I'd much rather have a Pi running a sane distro.

Erlang really is the necromancer's language.

Why is Swift... like that?

I assume Scala is like a "gateway" (drug) to functional programming by way of also supporting imperative and object oriented paradigms.

Yea except serverless you pay for usage, so if you have zero users, it's free! Just make sure you put a hard limit on autoscaling.

It's slightly more nuanced than that, but you've got the basic idea.

Yea. I was using bottom until I saw this and did a quick side-by-side comparison (nix-shell -p btop, I use NixOS BTW). btop's UI is just so much better.
