Free and fair elections are rooted within our constitution. You know what's also in our constitution?
14th amendment section 3: No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.
Translation: If you attempt to engage in an insurrection, then you are ineligible to hold public office.
You don't have to like it considering that Trump supporters think the constitution stops at the 2nd amendment, but it says in black & white why Trump is ineligible to hold public office again.

Dear, New Republican Party:
Accept history as it was, with all its triumphs and its flaws. Recognize and recon with the effects The Southern Strategy, and that CRT is a real thing. Recognize that freedom means not just freedom for the dominant group, but for all Americans, regardless of race, gender, who they love, etc. Recognize women's right to self-determination. Reject the notion that children should be subjected to gun violence based on your rigid interpretation of 2A and/or for the benefit of the NRA. Recognize that freedom of religion mean not just your religion. And accept that you have to work to win the votes of people who don't look like you, not prevent them from voting or nullify their votes.
Sincerely,
Independent Voter

All of this, Dave! Once again you're telling my story.
For so many years that I'm afraid to count, I've been the sole developer on an OS for Creators. I did have a clear objective: a platform that allowed me to easily build UIs and features as easily as creating drawings; this was to be a proprietary tool solely for my content. However, it took me far too long to realize that I, as an artist AND developer, was a very poor target. I'd over-engineered the platform so much that it was far too easy to lose sight of my objectives.
I realized that I needed external targets, so I tapped long-time users of a CG application that I'd developed in the late 1990's - early 2000's. That was the ticket!
Even though the feedback that I'd gotten contained nothing really new, it gave me clarity. I redefined the product objectives, swept out a lot of over-engineered subsystems, then approached the design from the view of myself purely as creator. Yes, not just a user or "end user," but a person creating art. This changed the entire paradigm of the OS. Simplified it. And made it the most flexible piece of software that I'd ever seen!
Seems like a simple thing, that realization, but only in hindsight. It was a long and arduous journey, but it looks like I'll be able to release in Q4 of this year. So, to whomever read all of this, pay close attention to this video in particular. Whether you're an individual or part of a team, it will save you a world of hurt. Hell, I wish I could have seen it a decade ago....... 😔

I really appreciated this discussion👍 I would offer that the issue with Excel is actually not that it's "low-code." It's a specific solution that became more and more generalized over time, while the developers only focused on added functionality via formulae/scripts not user data access. You've given the proof in your Word example.
I would also differ with you on your assessment that low-code as a generalized solution is a dead end. The reason you have that view is that you're programmers who love to write code. Further, the developers of those systems are just like you, but may also have a kind of condescending view of the user. Let's be real, though: all any of us are doing is manipulating data, computing values, and calling functions, all in some specific order. No more, no less. It's the layers of abstraction that make us feel superior, specifically achieving all of this through text interfaces. Because of this, we've made the development word a complete and utter mess. (webdev, anyone?)
So, the problem isn't low-code. We (programmers) are the problem, over-glorifying what it is we actually do because we are in charge of the interface. Myself? I'm a programmer (3-decades of experience) who doesn't love to code. But I am highly visual. For the past several years I've been developing (in C) a generalized visual development system for people like me... visual people. However, it's malleable enough to allow for writing code in any language, even custom domain-specific ones. Maybe I'm arrogant in believing this, but I do believe that my visual development (non-bare metal) OS will change your mind. We'll see.......... (coding)...........

Here we go again, another new term to label old stuff. 🙄Here's the deal. What we're all doing is developing software for users; we provide environments for work/entertainment/play. Platform engineers are just software engineers developing the SOS (same old sh!t) over and over again, but combining them in different ways. We just keep creating layers of abstraction to define niches and to differentiate ourselves, but the user-facing result is always the same. Always.
Having said that, the platform I've been developing over the past several years actually does something truly different for users: allowing non-programmers to define those work/entertainment/play environments, and it does so in a novel way (I'll shame more when we're closer to release). It's a tough job (<--understatement); I don't get to fall back on developer-speak like "it's user error" or "RTFM" since I can't force workflows upon them. Design & development on such a platform require a constant focus on the user, understanding the types of things they might try... that can be maddening, but I'm one of 'em, so.....
Anyway, thanks for covering this, Dave, m'man

@Asto508 So, you think that because I still write in C that I missed the changes in languages? Interesting assumption. Others might assume that I'm pretty good at what I do, where changes in languages are irrelevant. 🤷♂ Here's the truth: languages are just interfaces. No advance in languages award skills: you still need to know not just how to program, but what should be programmed.
Any programmer who uses C for any length of time, developing anything of note, will gain not just skills over that time, but will create tools and libraries to make the job easier. Most of what gets developed for other languages tend to be outgrowths of that, i.e. they tend to prevent the user from doing dumb sh!t. Rust is just a newer outgrowth. Even so, some long-time C coders may see tool/methodology development as a hindrance. Also, pointers, for example, can be the bane of even some of the most seasoned C coders' existence. None of that is true for me.
I have gained a level of discipline with C that would probably drive others mad. I have developed my own set of tools that allow me the freedom to not have to worry about pointers during regular coding, while allowing me to do some really dangerous sh!t when I need it. I don't need someone else's predefined parameters to keep me constrained in order to write good code and solve problems (<--that's what it's all about).
Again, languages are just interfaces. If advances, i.e. language features, are what move you, great. But don't mistake those advances for skill or competence in problem-solving.

@hectorruiz6070 That's some straight up crazy self-victimization you got goin' on. The fact is Obama, George W Bush, Clinton, Bush Sr., Reagan, Carter, and every president prior had to deal with the "media," too. But, for better or worse, they all did the job the were elected to do. Now, you can gaslight all you want, but we all were paying attention to what Trump did and didn't do during his presidency, so we need the "media" to tell us nothing. Specifically, for covid he did next to nothing, downplaying it (in his own words) and constantly saying it would go away (his own words) and ridiculing people who where masks (his own words) . So, all one has to do is listen to Trump himself to know that he's a liar, conman, lazy, racist, misogynistic, xenophobic, and one psychotic individual.

Accountability may be an anathema to you guys with regards to these models, but from a user's perspective, lack of accountability is why software, in general, sucks. Again, that's from a user's perspective. For my part as a developer, I'm building Accountability into my model. The key question here is: Accountability to whom? Not to managers, but to users. At least, in my model that's how it works.
As I said previously, Dave, I'll hit you up when we're ready to announce. I think you'll be skeptical of my model, but I'll most definitely win you over when you see it in action. And if I'm wrong, you'll get a free beer out of it 😅 Deal?

Trumplings tells us Trump years were great. So, just ignore the lockdowns, the shuttered businesses, the job losses, Congress people getting PPP loans, the tariffs which made inflation worse, the growing mental health issues, the rise in crime, the attempted coup, and the 500,000+ people who lost their lives due to Trump's mishandling of COVID???? That's like saying you're an A student except for getting all Fs

Yet another truly informative video! Thanx, Dave :^)
I equate software architecture to writing novels. There are plotters and there are pantsers. Pantsers start the story at the beginning and write forward. The story goes wherever is most interesting, ideally; i.e. the story is "discovered." Sounds wrong-headed and can lead to disaster but can be useful on small projects (I wouldn't take that approach, tho). Plotters can be thought of as software architects/designers, combining elements (characters, places, objects, relationships, etc.) to define the flow of the story from a bird's eye view. However, in my experience, this can also get people into trouble if the writer views the plot as a "bible" from which never to deviate.
In this sense, plot is design, but the various elements (e.g. libraries, formats, protocols, etc.) used in the plot define architecture
In writing and development, I am what I call a jumper. I start with a rough plan with the objectives/outputs in mind, defining the necessary components to the best of my understanding at the time. Then I move forward from the core AND backward from the outputs making modifications to the design and architecture as needed. This may sound insane, but it's necessary to never lose sight of the objectives AND the constraints.

@peterfrance702 It's possible to construe this right here as victimhood: "How am I playing the victim? You make a special case out of a possible white ancestor when...."
You obviously feel slighted in some way by my simply sharing facts of my own life with someone. I never attacked the person I was communicate with, nor had I ever said they should pity me as some kind of victim. I just tried to help him understand where some people might be coming from. He and I had a great back-and-forth about it, and I picked up some new perspectives from him. Yet, somehow, that angered you, as indicated by your previous line: "Sick of this victimhood BS."
Ask yourself this: Had I wronged you? Had I come off as angry? Had I said anything that would lead you to believe that I blamed you or any other person in these comments? Obviously I had not, so why have you directed your anger toward me, lobbing charges of victimhood? For that matter, why are you even angry in the first place? Do you even know why? That's not intended as some kind of attack, mind you. I just think that we're made to feel that we should be perpetually angry by/for things others have done and created.
To be clear, no person today is responsible for slavery, and should never be made to feel as such. In fact, I feel that white people tend to be harmed just as much today by the sins of others in the past. It seems to be part of what drives white anger, something that lies beneath within fundamentally good people, something that recognizes those sins but just don't want to be judged by them. And, quite frankly, you shouldn't be. The problem is that most don't seem to realize it... regardless of race.

@antoniosaxon8605 This isn't a zero-sum game. It's always about both. What you're saying, in essence, is that's like saying slavery wasn't about race but about money; if that were the case, where were all of the whites chained, raped, lynched, forced to work, beaten, dehumanized, etc?
Throughout our history, the grifters have used Black folks as a tool to carry out their deeds. Virtually every platform/talking point the Republicans have is rooted in this. Welfare? AA? Social programs? Gerrymandering? Policing? On and on and on. It all comes back to the core wound of this country: racism/slavery.
You may be a skeptic, but know that Thomas Jefferson, an enslaver, prophetically believed slavery to the greatest threat to the future survival of America. He's not the only founder to believe as such. Not only did many of them not enslave people, they campaigned against slavery. Unfortunately, you only hear about the ones who enslaved.
So, when someone like me (Black) points out the fact that virtually every ill of American life is rooted in racism, don't dismiss it out of hand. Only by understanding the root causes of our problems can we ever have a chance of fixing them.

2:39 So, these voters believe that Trump did a better job than Biden as president, huh?🤨 So, we're just gonna ignore the lockdowns, the shuttered businesses, the job losses, Congress people getting PPP loans, the tariffs which made inflation worse, the growing mental health issues, the rise in crime, the attempted coup, and the 500,000+ people who lost their lives???? Good times, good times.....

@Nigel Mansfield -- it's complicated. It can be difficult to see the roots of America's conspiracy obsession, but it goes back to America's original sin: slavery. I'll elaborate just a bit:
Imagine for a minute that you were one of the powerful who enslaved a people. You'd do all kinds of things to keep those people from advancing, things like preventing them from learning, destroying their family systems, preventing them from owning land, and, in a nutshell, doing anything and everything to them that violates your own founding doctrines. So, would you be happy as those oppressed people gain freedom and greater voice?
Of course, you'd then believe that things are being done to you. In fact, you'd spin it as "we're losing our country!" "they're taking our guns!" "they're attacking Christmas/Christianity!" and other such conspiracies where everything circles right around to "take our country back!" "make America great again!", etc. In such a climate, anything could be believed as long as it supports those false narratives, no matter how absurd. You'd breed a culture of belief in conspiracies.
Why are many Americans unaware of this? Well, it's another perversion of our culture that seeks not only to deny our past actually happened, but also to deny that our past has any lasting effects. Don't believe me? Ask any "right-leaning" American their thoughts on Critical Race Theory. Then ask them what it is. Then ask them where it's actually being taught. Then take note of every politician from the state house to congress who're fighting against it.
So, this conspiracy obsession was baked in at our founding.

3:40 yeah, no disrespect, but being asked if you were Pilipino is not what you think. We African Americans are quite mixed, and readily accept our people (this goes back to the one-drop rule), and there's absolutely no American, Black, white, or otherwise who would question whether you're American based on your look, the way you speak, and the way you carry yourself. You are our people. Hell, I'm light-skinned and grew up with people ribbing me for it sometimes. But not once was I shunned as an American or my Blackness questioned because of it.
Having said that, I can appreciate where you're coming from. Just know that here in the U.S. being questioned about your origin is not the same as not accepting you. It's different here.

The reliance on the idea that something else will replace massive job losses brought on by automation, is myopic in the extreme. What we have today is not actually AI; they're not actually intelligent, artificial or otherwise. That means people are, indeed, still needed. However, computer technology evolves through layers of abstraction; i.e. there will be layers above LLMs that further reduce the need for human interaction. To assume that some new thing will replace the white collar jobs losses... well...... With what? Computer jobs? 🤨 Even video content creators are no longer safe.
Look, what I'm saying is don't downplay the very real near-term dangers. Sure, blue collar jobs may not be in as much danger in the near-term, but white collar jobs are. Further, the companies which produce these technologies do rely on consumers, not just in direct goods and services but in the tax incentives and breaks they receive... a significant chunk of that revenue generated by average citizens paying taxes... from wages... from their jobs.......

@millennialmoney2281 The saying is actually "when you assume, you make an ASS out of U and ME." It's likely that I'm older than you. In any case, I don't know to what comment of mine you're referring, but I do tend to make them based on experience and empirical evidence.
For example, if you've responded to this Whoopi story complaining that the left "gets a pass," then you are most likely a racist person. And because that's likely true, it's highly likely that you take offense to my pointing that out. And that's because you're likely not very self aware with regards to race. To you, racism happens when someone calls you a racist or calls out (white) people for racist behavior. You somehow believe it's okay to call me a racist because I, as a target of racism (I'm Black), am acutely aware of what real racism is. And, because there is nothing I can do to help you "see," there's really no point in us communicating any further.
Godspeed.

Trumplings tells us Trump years were great. So, just ignore the lockdowns, the shuttered businesses, the job losses, Congress people getting PPP loans, the tariffs which made inflation worse, the growing mental health issues, the rise in crime, the attempted coup, and the 500,000+ people who lost their lives due to Trump's mishandling of COVID???? That's like saying you're an A student except for getting all Fs

I do appreciate the deep dives of that book and your analysis of it. I've no degrees or experience in these subjects, but I do have a fundamental understanding that the revolution will not come... as long as people are only annoyed enough to complain, too attached to their relative comfort to take action. Unfortunately, democratic elections create the stagnating force with such an electorally divided country, generating exciting for the now with a win, and hope for tomorrow as the handwringing over losses play out and the search for a new populist avatar ensues. Rinse and repeat.
So, these labels and analyses are great for discussion and for "street" cred, but won't move the econo-sociopolitical needles necessary for change. However, I do believe that there's a way to create a tectonic shift that doesn't require revolution or taking from any group, and can create a smooth transition to something much... better. I've been working on it for a number of years, but, since I am a layperson, I'll reveal it not as just a theory (since I have no credentials) but with practice. I'll alert you privately when the launch date nears.
Until then, SUBSCRIBED

@teeps7098 I'll let you in on a little secret: all the things said today about Biden are what was said in 2020. If you listen to the media, nobody wanted Biden. Yet, he won the primaries and the presidency. And he ran (and is running) not as "I'm not Trump," but with the full belief that he's the only one who could beat Trump. I believe that that still holds true here in 2024.
The media (including YouTube channels like this one) tells us all kinds of things, shaping opinions of those who pay attention to politics. They tell us when to be outraged, who to root for, who to vilify, and so on. They don't care about you and me, only about what sells. The direct evidence is that Ronna McDaniel fiasco at NBC. However, most voters aren't paying attention, especially not in April. That's why polls don't matter, the polls that the media creates and uses to drive ratings. I find that it's best to partake of them very sparingly. It's how I preserve my own sanity.

6:00 Don't be such a self-centered pimadonna. This is a reasonable question: "Is (blah) still maintained? I asked a question a here (blah) again and have not heard back" If someone is dependent on a project, they ask a question about it, and don't hear anything back, it's perfectly reasonable to wonder if it's dead.
EDIT: Yeah, I've received such inquiries in my career as a commercial software developer. On the one hand, no, I don't like getting hit with it. But, on the other hand, I'm always appreciative that someone uses/appreciates my work enough to inquire about it. So, I man up, lean toward the positive, and do whatever I can to respond to the inquirer.

Say you have 2 employees, Paul and Joe. They both do the same job that requires a lot of mental work. Paul starts using AI to make some of these task easier, taking less time. Soon he's able to complete his work in fraction of the time, and take on some of Joe's workload. Over time, Paul relies more and more on AI to the point where you have no need for Joe. Why in the world would any employer in his right mind keep Joe on the payroll? Especially in a system that tends to reward companies for reducing payroll (publicly traded companies).
Okay, people like Cathie Wood would argue that your company can produce more if Joe is kept on. Not all jobs are in the direct production pipeline. Some jobs fall under management and administration and support. Further, producing more doesn't work in all business models or markets, and is no guarantee of success.
Joe will be out of a job, plain and simple. And so, too, will Paul as employers would be able to outsource more tasks to AI services. Paul and Joe may be able to do one-off jobs on such a service... but at a significant reduction in income, requiring them to find supplemental work... if they can.
So, if anyone tries to sell you on the idea that wages and opportunities will increase with AI, examine the source. Thoroughly.

@billhannaford4488 Wait--so, you're actually concerned that Biden can't do the job he's already doing, and doing well in the wake of the sh!tstorm that Trump left behind? And you actually think that there's a remote possibility that Trump can do better when he has a proven track record of incompetence? Really? Even in the face of all of his (known/proven/alleged) criminality and his stated desire to end our democratic system, installing himself as dictator??? I mean, even if you ignore all of that and still believe Trump is viable, how can you possibly overlook how he downplayed Covid for months while hundreds of thousands of people died????? Yeah, the media ignores this, but if you've actually lost people during that time, there's no way you can forget.
Look, it's extremely difficult to take you seriously in the face of all that. However, if you are serious, I would suggest that you attention to what both these guys say and do, not what people and the media tell you that they say and do. At least that how I've been remaining sane.

@nikobellik8491 You said: "You shouldn't generalize people like you are."
Uuuh... calling all light skinned folks "white" is the very absolute height of generalization.🤨 You're inadvertently "whitewashing" the identities of the peoples you're trying to connect.
In any case, in this country, Italian, Irish, and Jewish immigrants weren't considered white back in the day. Yet today they are. What's different? You can't say it's science; the science says that race is a social construct. However, societal changes (e.g. the social justice) movement, caused a shift. And so, white is a societal class designation, not a race.
Having said that, I get where you're coming from; everything you find online will tell you that white is a racial group, even Wikipedia. But most haven't thought deeply enough about that term and how damaging it is to the people it is intended to classify.
Thank you for the discussion 👍

I've been a programmer for over 3 decades. Yet, I hate command line no matter what the platform, so I'm not a Linux fan (though I run it on VMs). This is because I'm also an artist, and have have been drawing since I was 3, which means that I'm a highly visual person. So, screens filled with cryptic text are not, and never will be, my thing. Yeah, I'm typing this comment on one screen, while I have 2 other screens filled with C code. While I suspect that that makes me an oddball, it also gives me a very unique perspective on software development that has served me well. It takes all kinds, I guess. 😅

@Nick -- but, but, but, ObamaaAAaaAAAaaa...! Fact is, Obama couldn't do anything about Russian meddling other than what he did: alert the American people. However, even he wishes that he'd done more, but never stated what he could have done other than sanctions... which were already in place (the same ones Trump tried to remove until the Republican Congress intervened). Now, tell me: are you totally cool with the fact that Putin/Russia, our enemy, attacked our elections, which is the cornerstone of American democracy?

Don't let them fool you. Anyone bringing up George Floyd's past, his drug use, or is stating with absolute certainty that he knew the bill was fake, well... they're flat out racist. They believe that when a Black person has done anything wrong, they deserve to die. That's wrong. That's racist. That's anti-Christian. And, if karma is truly a thing, they will be made to understand either what George Floyd went through, or his family is going through, or, at the very least, what the people who witnessed him being murdered over 9.5 minutes are going through. God & the Universe will make them understand. It never fails.

@teeps7098 🤣! Are you for real??? Anyway......
Look, I can appreciate that you don't like so-and-so for [insert reasons]. Yes, that is your right. Personally, all I care about is that a candidate can do the job and do it well. I don't want someone who says all the right words but can't get things done. After all, it takes experience to deal with Congress.
On that front, Biden is doing a good job, better than I expected. And he's able to do so well because of his experience; he's been making Republicans look even more foolish than they are, yet he's still getting things done. So, complaining about his age, tenure, or things that have no bearing on the job that he's already doing is counterproductive. Further, it's extremely... odd... to expect someone else to choose candidates that appeal you. After all, no one can know what you think qualifies as "good" but you.

@catricass For one, a man would never call himself an "alpha." That's posturing... toward other men. In my many decades of life, I've yet to meet any woman who says she wants what these "alphas" are selling. So, the only ones attracted to "alphas" are other "alphas." They gather together and pump one another, denigrating women.
Having said that, I'm not one to tell any other man how to be a man. Myself, I just do what I need to do, doing right by the people I care about--if that means knockin' a head or two, being a shoulder to cry on, or whatever is needed of me, I'll do it. And, because I'm in touch with my feminine side, I'm not ashamed or afraid to show emotion or empathy. Do I present that as some sort of model of masculinity? No. I'm just being me; I respect other men for being themselves... as long as they don't hurt those they presume to be weaker than they.
Hope that helps in some way

@aalvarez2914 Okay, it appears that your mind is made up. I will leave you with this. Even if we take your opinion as fact (and the actual facts are readily available) , there is absolutely nothing wrong with people wanting to come here for work. The jobs these "potential immigrants" would take would actually be helpful (again, the info is readily available). Let me tell you what you will never see: so-called patriots who're upset over non-Latinex, non-Black/Brown, illegal immigration and said immigrants who come here for work. The come by plane and by boat (and even by car from Canada), but they still come at take jobs that Americans do want, but can't get (for various reasons). And they outnumber the caravan by far. And some of those people may actually be terrorists (those nutjobs come by plane). Where's the anger? Where's the outrage? Where's the fear? Anyway, man, don't buy into the hatred of non-white immigrants who come here on foot. It's racist, pure and simple. And it's so very wrong for us people of color to allow ourselves to be used to promote racist ideology. Anyway, take care, fella.

@jaobidan2358 WTF is that spew you posted? Talk about naive. If a dude shouts racial slurs into a camera and then fires off shots (according to his "friend"), and is how his friend describes him as God-loving, and whatever, while spilling secrets that he was charged with keeping, wtf would you automatically jump to his defense??? No matter how dark you think our secrets may be, you have no knowledge of them.Otherwise they wouldn't be secrets.
And, if you want to be real, there are hard working Americans who bust their ass trying to keep those secrets safe. It's an ugly world. There will be ugly secrets, and they're not necessarily generated by us, but it's fair to assume some are. However, it's the height of naivete to assume that you understand what is light or dark without having seen them. And it's myopic to assume that just because someone leaked them that we should all see them or that they're dark.
In any case, I am judging the leaker harshly based on his character conveyed by his friend, not making any assumptions about what he leaked. So check yourself, fool.

@warrensabastienanderson Stop with the gaslighting. In this country, the United States of America, people were taken from Africa and made to do grueling hard work under inhumane conditions for no pay, people who where chained, beaten, raped _(I know this because I'm a light skinned Black man, who can trace his lineage back to enslaved ancestors and those who enslaved an raped them)_, forbidden from learning how to read and write, etc., etc., etc., and even later considered 3/5th of a person to appease white people.
So, I don't know who you're trying to convince with your BS, but you're barking up the wrong tree, on the wrong street, in the wrong town, in the wrong country. Move on.

I created my own regex engine that's not susceptible to that kind of error. This classic test regex from Rexegg:
"^(A+)*B"
With that pattern, a string as simple as "AAAAAAAAAAC" would require 3,584 steps. But a string with 100 A's followed by 1 C would cause a catastrophic backtracking failure, requiring 4,436,777,100,798,802,905,238,461,218,816 steps. Those numbers scared the sh!t out of me!😱 And if they don't scare you, then you haven't been paying attention.
I finally just dumped all the standard regex models and built one completely from scratch (yes, in C😛). My engine significantly reduces the amount of backtracking: the 100 A string is resolved in just 1295 steps. 😁😁😁I'm still benchmarking it, but this engine is incredibly promising.........🤞
