Remember the crazy drunk blonde lady who testified with Rudy Giuliani in Michigan about the defective voting machines in Detroit? She was just disqualified as a candidate running for office in Macomb County.

https://twitter.com/sandi_fish/status/1510239710248988675

Deadline Detroit posted:

Carone was told she submitted a faulty affidavit attesting that she had no outstanding campaign finance issues. She has been crossed off Macomb County's online election list for the August primary and labeled as "disqualified." Macomb County Clerk Anthony Forlini alerted Carone to the disqualification.

She told the News the ruling was "ridiculous."

The News reports:

Carone said Friday she's lawyering up to fight the disqualification, claiming Macomb County staffers advised her to sign the affidavit because it likely wouldn't be submitted to the Michigan Bureau of Elections until the end of the week, after she'd resolved her campaign finance issues.

The timing is impeccable. Terinoip is holding a rally in Macomb County today (which despite lack of permits, parking, facilities, topsoil, etc, is still go) and I'm sure Carone was anticipating an endorsement from Tiermp

however I've got two Logitech mice, two random non-Apple glowing keyboards, and two non-Apple monitors hooked up right now, and everything works fine.

There's a Python class on Coursera taught by two incredibly boring professors from Rice University, it's pretty good and representative of what a college CS person would experience, but anyway it uses a sort of baby IDE that works via the browser and it's pretty good, at least for just fooling around and experimenting while learning the language.

I urge you to resist the temptation to which many people learning programming or a new programming language succumb, which is to decide "maybe I'll make my own version of Facebook or Balder's Gate to learn how this all works"

As a rule I have for quite some time explicitly and strenuously discouraged people from learning to program computers unless they already know that they like it. That includes literally classrooms full of children.

I can't imagine a normal person putting up with the constant frustration and irritation.

maybe that Coursera thing would work better? i managed to learn photoshop, surely i can figure out something 1000x more complicated

Postgresql is superior to MySQL in many ways. It used to be a lot more superior, such that comparisons were mostly a waste of time, but now, though MySQL has gotten better, it's still worse.

I have fond memories of SQL Server, I admit.

One cool trick that somebody probably HATES is the "INNER LOOP JOIN" thing, which can make a massive difference in query performance given some schemas and situations (it avoids hash joins when you know they're not necessary). Postgresql doesn't have an equivalent.
