Without the blue states, the whole nation would collapse. As it is, the red states are doing their very best to drag us down. This needs to be shouted from the hills. Republicans have absolutely NO IDEA what they’re doing on the economy.

Even if conservatives win, liberals hold all the cards. At the end of the day a nation has to produce something of actual value and conservatives don’t… they just don’t. Liberals do all the work, if they go on strike, what’s going to happen? Who is going to pay the bills for the uneducated, freeloading conservatives? The world economy doesn't run on thoughts and prayers and bad manners.

This is a great video about avoiding fallacies in benchmarking, specifically around Kotlin. One thing they used during tests is a "blackhole" object to make sure that compilers don't optimize away code from loops. The implementation goes back to a GPL2 licensed one in the JVM. I wonder if it would make sense to port that to Dart. Dart already has benchmarking harnesses but having a black hole evaluator could be interesting. #DartLang #kotlin #programming

Israel can get away with anything, including killing lesser valued American citizens.

Isn't that just lovely?

this morning i noticed that calibre wasn't able to back up new books into my ebook library any more. i hoped it was just a quirk in the DeDRM plugins that could be mended with a newer version. and so it was. with this version here instead of the older one (i still had 7.something) everything works as it should.
