The STV system is not easy to compute as a human, but the concept is easy to explain (it needs a computer to calulate). The simple human explanation is: You have 1 vote, but only the part of your vote that's needed to elect someone is used. Once that candidate is elected, the remainder of your vote goes to your second choice candidate, and so on, until your full vote is consumed.

@SimonForsberg "Even though @SᴀᴍOnᴇᴌᴀ was the first to get elected, @Peilonrayz did get more votes in the end from all of the transfers." ... That's not really representative of how it works - Sam got the vast majority of the votes, but they were not needed to elect him, so they got taken away .... and given to the candidates that were 2nd/3rd/4th choices for the position.

... Election closes in 2 minutes. ...

Was any reason given for Thomas Ward's withdrawal?

@pacmaninbw Yup, I saw (and removed my comment earlier)

@pacmaninbw Have a boat, but it's not yet in the water this season. There was ice on the water just last week.

I only really check out the late answers/low quality posts, as well as the reopen review queue though..... ... well, more specifically, I tend to avoid the close-vote queue, it's more time-consuming, and available to low-rep users.

@pacmaninbw I have been in the queues pretty much every day, I think I have missed 3 days or something in the past few years.

You have to be cognizant of the Node event loop, but when you get the async nature of how to use Node, it's remarkably powerful.... like, crazy easy to do powerful things

Typescript is OK, but we mostly stick to native Javascript in Node - legacy reasons.

Don't dismiss Node/Express. It's my primrary language for almost all our work-work.

At least the Modbus Go library I can opensource.

Well, I have to implement the Modbus protocol on the SAMD20 in order to have communications with IOT-type applications, a Modbus Go library as well.

There's something bizarre about programming for the SAMD20 Cortex M0, windows PC, and "large scale" Cloud applications at the same time.

Heh, I have been getting "breadth" recently, currently programming in embedded C, Go, and Javascript.....

But, Yeah, it's good to be back in the 2nd monitor.

Yup, been around on the main site, just not on chat. I still check in every day.

Things are always changing..... which at least, is somewhat comforting.

KThxBye

And..... back again.

Stack overflow offline as well... nothing in the planned maintenance page. Ooops...

Code review's down for me..... :( Now it shows a maintenance page... Guess I'll hang out here ;-)

Restart is hopefully multiplayer. It does not really indicate whether it is, or not, though

Actually, I'll save, upgrade, and restart.

@SimonForsberg - the factorio game is still active. Shift-space to unpause. I added an extension to a couple of things, but it's looking for the next step. Feel free to pick it up some more. Still 0.18.3 though

Woot... man, I miss account annotations tool. That's right. the robo-review.

IIRC, an apology and a promise.

I can't remember all the details, but it was messy.

@Vogel612 I was ..... I know. I am fully aware that there was some water under that bridge.

@Vogel612 Should I claim mod-abuse since you deleted my comment too ;-)

On my way, will need a few minutes to get my stuff together, on a differnt PC, not wmy work laptop.

Heck, let's do this.... discord?

Decided that I am not a moderator, so don't have to be as polite as I normally would, and also I just thought I would play with him, if he notices....

The timezones will be the problem.... Probably not going to be able to organize useful blocks of time with any regularity.

Your mods can be added when we get heavy on far-away networks?

Modded with some convenience mods - squeak through, and warehousing? For big bases I like LTN , but that's optional, and can be added later.

We should start up a game.... you're not asleep yet, right? Got time?

The base is "awesome" though.... 1.5 Rockets per minute, running 20GW nuclear electrical.

I don't remember getting a notification that your module was disabled... but really, I did not get far enough in to check, or care.

I figured I woud wait a couple more weeks before trying again.

Well, I had 20 or so modules, and some of th emore critical ones I use were not upgraded (like Power Armour MK4) .... so I lost all my "Mechanical walkers", and extra inventory, so I spewed all my inventory all over the floor when the game loaded. The advanced radars all disappeared, so the map went dark, and my Super-charged power poles disappeared as well, so the electrical grid was broken everywhere.

Too many modules had not been upgraded to work (yours had, IIRC, so thanks).

Yeah, I upgraded my most recent mega-base using it. Hoping the advertised performance-improvements will bump up my FPS.

;-)

Hard for me to respond to it, or decide whether I should even respond, if I don't know what it's trying to say....

Hey all. Monking.

THanks for the ping, @SimonForsberg- I was not aware. Still processing.
