If I remember right, super delegates were the main reason Bernie lost the nomination.

And beyond this, solving the problem is just the baseline. Solving the problem well can take an immense amount of time, often producing solutions that appear overly simplistic in the end.

I recently watched a talk about ongoing Java language work (Project Valhalla). They've been working on this particular set of performance improvements for years without a lot to show for it. Apparently, they had some prototypes that worked well but were unwieldy to use. After a lot of refinement, they have a solution that seems completely obvious. It takes a lot of skill to come up with solutions like that, and this type of work would be unjustly punished by algorithms like this.

Washington Post, but yeah.

No, they're asking about the case that did go through where he was found guilty of 34 felony convictions. The People of the State of New York v. Donald J. Trump

He was supposed to be sentenced in September. Trump's defense asked to delay. Prosecution didn't object. Judge didn't want to stick his neck on the line and accepted the delay.

I have no idea what will happen now but probably nothing meaningful anymore. It should have happened in September. I don't know why the prosecution didn't fight the delay, but understand why the judge did what he did.

But yeah, I completely agree with your sentiment. The momentum into nailing Trump down on crimes happened way, way, *way *too slow.

Learn something from this...?

To what end? For what point? There isn't an "undo" button on fascism.

First, A lot of the far-left authoritarian users are in other instances, like lemmy.ml. Those communities are easy to avoid and users from there easily identified.

Second, I can only guess you're talking about Harris when speaking "a communist and a known war monger". Speaking as a former libertarian Republican (who left the party when Trump took over), Harris isn't communist or far left. That's 100% right-wing propaganda. America's Democratic party is pretty conservative compared to liberal and leftist parties in Europe and isn't that much to the left of the pre-Trump Republican party.

As for the known warmonger, I have no idea what you're talking about.

Could you imagine if the presidential candidates and their VP pick had to play Overcooked together for a few hours?

It wouldn't even have to be a competition on score. You could learn so much about them so fast - their communication, ability to adapt, and how they handle frustrations.

What in the world are you talking about?

This just may be the dumbest thing I've heard today.

My understanding of a patent (in the US) is that it's only for new, novel concepts, often difficult to design or conceive.

Prior art, in this context, are just examples of this concept already in use or demonstrated. If there are already examples of the idea in use by others, then your idea isn't new (and therefore not patentable).
