- Comment on Can you have local reverse proxies? 2 days ago:
Using reverse proxies is common enough now that quite a few apps can deal with subpaths, and for the ones that can’t you can generally get nginx to rewrite the paths for you to make things work.
- Comment on Does different parts of the world use different standards for water pressure similar to voltages? 2 days ago:
What genius decided to denote the difference by using three shades of the exact same colour?
- Comment on Does different parts of the world use different standards for water pressure similar to voltages? 2 days ago:
Because 1 bar is almost atmospheric pressure. Oddly enough I’ve never seen anyone use kPa, weather forecasts often use hPa (instead of mbar) to report atmospheric pressure.
- Comment on Ranked Choice Voting - A Community for Discussion and Organizing to Implement Ranked Choice Voting 2 days ago:
Put simply you just give every candidate points out of 10 and then elect the one with the highest average.
Approval voting (not acceptance, my mistake), simplifies things a bit by only allowing none or all points. Which is the best if you want to vote tactically anyway.
It sidesteps a couple of the issues that Arrow’s impossibility theorem raises, and is easy enough to understand. Ranked choice is better than first past the post but still has the issue that adding an additional candidate can affect the end result in complex ways.
With approval voting most aspects are easy to understand. Adding or removing candidates trivially has no effect on the rest of the result. And while you can still vote tactically the only real tactic is where you put your cutoff, you should still vote for the option(s) you like best.
