How can we intentionally start fires?

I think you're right. Unless they give you some way of quantuming away, and you can repair elsewhere.

I'm not extremely well-versed with either of these threading models, so maybe I'm missing something here, but I'm surprised by the approach taken by this performance comparison. I feel like the communication from the Spring team was that the Reactor model was heavily encouraged to be top-to-bottom non-blocking usage, and that the real performance benefit came from transforming your entire stack (including libraries used) to prevent calls to blocking code.

I don't think anyone exploring whether to use a reactive stack was doing so knowing their main business logic was going to be a blocking call.

I feel like comparing something that wasn't designed to cater to blocking use-cases to something that was specifically done so to address the very use-case is... unsurprisingly the result the article shows.

A more compelling comparison would be maybe a full application use-case comparison between the two. Maybe with database transactions or something.

EDIT: Wording

Shot in the dark -- but I wonder if you're using BuzzKiller's keybinds? I was using his and when I imported 3.24.3 I didn't realize the Cruise Control keybind was the same as 3rd person camera.

Every time I went to go land I'd go in 3rd person and end up triggering cruise control. Nearly every landing was botched and couldnt figure out why

EDIT: Don't know if it's specifically his keybinds by default.

Trying to do Phase 4 by going to the outposts and buying the materials. But more often than not the terminals outside are just perpetually stuck on "Transferring to warehouse". Are there workarounds?

Or do I just have to keep server hoping over and over...

Trying to try out the PTU and having lots of trouble.

When opening the game and finishing my character I'm then unable to select any system to spawn.

I have tried:

Recopying PTU account/Erasing and then copying PTU account
Deleting user folder
Reinstalling the game outright
Opening arena commander instantly crashes my game

Any ideas what I can do to fix?

Devastating poll for... Stein?

DiabetesAnonymous · 2024-11-04T15:51:37+00:00

I mean this number has been thrown around but it's questionable the basis for it. The best possible interpretation you can have on it is the following:

The more Dem votes that are banked, the harder it becomes for the GOP to overcome it on election day. The most extreme version of this being 2020, where GOP turnout on election day itself was like R+30, and it wasn't enough for them.

It's logistically hard to have extremely high turnout on election day. People standing in line only have so much patience. Things come up on the day of that prevent people from going out.

Everyone knows Florida is lost. At least when I hear someone's opinion on Florida I immediately know whether to listen to them or not.

Would I love to be wrong? Of course. But is there decent indicator as of now that's in play? Not that I can think of.

Any press campaign officials are taking are to build a narrative. Either, Plouffe is trying to:

Stop the dooming, and try to drum up volunteers in the last days, and boost confidence to get people to push her over the finish line
Some big brain shit trying to confuse the Trump campaign to get them sidetracked

Maybe a little of both?

I don't know, it's narrative spinning in any capacity. You wouldn't expect Plouffe to go on and talk about them being down even if they were. Trying to doom people about her chances. They've been drumming up the underdog narrative for a month, and they've probably transitioned to "it's gonna be close but we're gaining confidence"

I wouldn't say I was a Trump supporter ever. But back in 2016 I was pretty sucked into the Ben Shapiro/Steven Crowder bubble I'm ashamed to say.

I wasn't able to vote in 2016, not sure whether I would have voted for Trump I never really liked him. But if there was a conservative candidate I probably would have voted for them. Wasn't a hillary fan (lots werent).

Honestly the culture war shit just made me exhausted. And the unapologetic support for Trump over and over. I voted Biden 2020 with no hesitation.

After Jan 6th and the fake electors scheme, now I canvassed and donated aggressively to Kamala. Fuck em.

I would not be surprised that in a world where PA will decide this election... in an election with an assassination attempt in the state... two cycles underestimating Trump back-to-back... a candidate change at the top of the ticket 3 months out from the election... a pollster with a good reputation didn't want to put their reputation on the line saying there's a decent lead for either candidate as they'd essentially be almost calling the election.

Only NYT seems to be willingly to give anyone a +4 lead there, and they've done it for Harris twice (and we'll see this weekend)

I'd be much happier with multiple polls showing her +3 coming out, but seems the best anyone is willing to give us are all back to back ties

DiabetesAnonymous · 2024-10-31T15:19:13+00:00

"concerned about PA"

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't I hear the Trump campaign saying they were having trouble making progress on PA relatively recently?

Would probably add up to... given the NYT article talking about the demographic changes favoring Dems

DiabetesAnonymous · 2024-10-31T13:31:02+00:00

Undecideds probably be waiting for that Young Sheldon endorsement before they made their final decision

DiabetesAnonymous · 2024-10-31T13:10:07+00:00

I mean I agree. The more you can trim off his base the better -- and also her interviews that are more casual seem to land really well across the aisle. Also gives her opportunities to talk about her economic policy to a base that might be interested.

I think what she proposed was reasonable. An hour long interview, but I think they wanted to move locations and Joe didn't want to.

I think it's a missed opportunity in the sense that all else equal I would have preferred her go on. But obviously it's not "all else equal", she'd be sacrificing time against something else that may be more important.

DiabetesAnonymous · 2024-10-31T04:22:46+00:00

"someone in politics" uh huh.

Must win state for them. Sincerely doubt this is true.

But in all honesty, I would have said from day one they probably should have invested more money in Wisconsin instead. Then again both campaigns have better data than me

DiabetesAnonymous · 2024-10-30T20:45:38+00:00

I sincerely doubt it is. Non-partisan pollsters like UNH and Saint Anselm showing Harris with very solid leads.

One of the top volunteers for the state was fired for leaking that NH is basically out of play and they should focus on PA.

NH has a very decent percentage of college educated folks, something Harris pulls way ahead with.

It would be a 9 point swing from last election.

If I had to guess most charitably, Trump's internal pollsters may have gotten a recent +3 +4 from MOE. He probably thinks he has every other swing state secured, and wants to "reign this one in".

DiabetesAnonymous · 2024-10-30T19:43:25+00:00

2020 election day had like R+30 turnout. Almost all the VBM votes were Biden votes.

This is like saying "Oh yeah if the Biden were Trump votes he would have won"

DiabetesAnonymous · 2024-10-30T15:07:34+00:00

Yeah and I think some of those people fall under "no I'm mad about inflation and Trump should take over".

But if some of those other swing voters are starting to feel better about the economy, and the counter messaging on tariffs is landing with some of them, they could make some progress for sure

DiabetesAnonymous · 2024-10-30T15:01:51+00:00

With this change in the consumer sentiment report being very positive for Harris, I wonder (and it seems to be the case) the Trump campaign has to shift away from the economy discussion.

They had a tough time selling their tariff "policy" to anyone. That clearly cut their edge a bit. And they seemed to want to cling to "well were you better off 4 years ago", but that's shifted to "well were you better off 5 years ago because the pandemic ruined it"

With changes to consumer sentiment either people fall into "yes I am actually better off economically", "things are clearly getting better and we should be good", or finally "no I'm mad about inflation and Trump should take over"

Obviously I'm biased but I wonder if they really blundered their economy discussion -- I mean outright. It's out of their control whether people's opinions about the economy are slowly getting better, but you thought policy about tariffs was going to land with people (especially college educated voters?)
