My Fedi feed is pretty full of shit-flinging in all sorts of directions (deservedly or otherwise) so I think I'll uninstall Tusky and come back later.

George Zimmerman is a personification of evil.

My feed is full of the French strike today.

Unfortunately I have a lot of bugs to flesh out, I just don't know if this process will, once its bug free, actually tell me that.

If, when measuring my network performance across different scales, it correlates with log(n) the best, does that mean it is an O(log(n)) scaling network? :o

Finally went digging into why UDP datagrams are generally both limited and unreliable. Seems that the MTU limit is the problem: the bigger the UDP datagram if over a limit it will fragment, then any failure of any fragment leads to a drop of the entire datagram.

The MTU is higher for IPV6 than IPV4, so are we incentivized to do UDP over only IPV6 going forward?

Where do people typically publish a defensive publication? Is it just on a website they own? Submission to a Journal? Arxiv?

What really grinds my gears is watching software engineers come up with a paper election process and earnestly suggest the absentee voting should be "tell someone else to vote for you".

Oh fuck, Larry and Sergey are stepping down.

Ich habe gerade über n-Deklination gelernt. *Kopf-kaboom*

I don't think I could AAA it anytime soon though.

Try to find a video of someone AAA-ing DM Ashura's Seven without using a CMod.

It doesn't exist.

Maybe I should download Stepmania and do it.

So for every single day for the rest of the legislative session, *every single Democrat* showed up to the State Senate, and every single day, the republicans *refused to call the vote* in the typical Mitch McConnell Turtle Tactic.

The Republicans were hoping a single Democrat State Senator would become ill or die during the legislative session to ram-rod their veto override through.

In the name of "Democracy".

Fuckers.

This surprised everyone! Who the fuck bastardizes a day of remembrance? The party built on a foundation of "ra-ra, go patriotism", the same one that Mitch-turtled the 9/11 First Responder bill?

So now the vote goes to the State Senate, where the Governor's veto must be overruled. There, the Democrats have just enough votes to block the overrule. However, that means that *every* Democrat must be present for the vote, otherwise the Republicans can pass the override.

Prior to September 11, 2019, the Democratic members of the State House were notified that, while there would be a legislative session held that day, no major votes would take place. That way, Republicans and Democrats alike could go to memorial services and honor those that lost their lives in 2001.

On 9/11, House Republicans entered the State Legislature and voted to override the Governors veto. It passed. No Democrats were present; had they been, it'd have failed

Or "How Republicans Erode Democratic Norms".

Background: The Governor of NC is a Democrat. Both congresses of the NC State Legislature (State Senate, and State House) are Republican-majority, but not by enough of a margin (2/3) to have override powers.

Earlier in 2019, the Republicans of the State Legislature put forth a budget bill for 2020 that they knew was unacceptable to Democrats. Cutting teacher salaries and the like. Unsurprisingly, the Governor vetoed it.

Delaunay Triangulation has a lot of cool properties:
- Getting from point A to B has an upper bound distance of ~2.4x the distance "as the crow flies"
- Is the dual graph of a Voronoi diagram.
- If produced in a spatial Poisson Process, on average a point will have 6 neighbors.

I should apply for the .con gTLD from ICANN and only hand out domains to blockchain based companies.
