Although the ESP8266 uses an AT command set and it really isn't very fast, but you can reprogram it because it's really a sweet little ARM microcontroller.
@Iszi I don't think I got site association here, since it's where almost all of my rep on the site on. A handful of answered questions goes a long way, appraently
@Iszi Yeah, it's hard to tell, even without knowing how voting works historically, since the voting model is completely different between primaries and finals.
It's a bit tricky because in the primary, anyone can vote for (or against) any number of candidates. In the election, they can only vote for (and not against) three.
And I'm not sure how each vote is counted in the election. Are all votes equal? Do "first" votes have more value for the candidate than "second" or "third"?
@Iszi it's probably a runoff system. If nobody has a majority of votes, some candidates are eliminated. If your first pick was for an eliminated candidate, then you switch to your second vote
this continues until someone dies of old age or the election concludes
@Iszi I don't know that it does, because you can vote for as many people as you want in the primaries, right? And it all just counts as a single upvote, whereas in the finals, it makes a difference as to who you put as your first choice, vs. second, vs third. So, yeah, while the people out in front in the primaries likely have a significant edge in the finals, order isn't nearly as cut and dried.
Since the ranked-choice voting model allows for instant-runoff (e.g. the single transferable vote), usually you end up with a much bigger margin than 1 :)
A great illustration of why the STV is seen as an excellent institution in comparative politics. People vote their conscience :)
Personally, I think the winner should have a minimal number of reputation points and simply be able to hack StackExchange to rig the election. Sure, on other SE's that be nefarious, but I think that earns you credit here.
We're moving websites from one server configuration to a new configuration and the websites will live in different paths than previously. We're planning to diligently go through and replace old paths with new paths, but in case we miss any, is there some way to monitor for any processes trying t...
@LucasKauffman Across all of SE, I get more rep than him. The other day I calculated that in this rate, I'll catch him up for SE-wide rep in only 6 years!
I gave up and coded my own tool. It allows for:
-a all files
-e existing files
-n non-existing files
It only outputs the files so you do not need to deal with the output from strace.
