  1. I do sort of feel sorry for the programmers who are scratching "Shadow Inc" off their resume. "Did you work on that caucus app?" "No I swear to god I was in prison for those two months"

  2. The Iowa app was developed in 2 months and Nevada hopes to beat that record

  3. A notable feature of the caucus system is there are way more ties

  4. The picture they paint is of a very amateurish software company, though I suppose that is to be expected because a professional company would not agree to start 2 months before such a hard deadline.

  5. It also explains how the apps were installed--using the TestFlight service, which is intended to be used by developers and testers

  6. So this has more detail on what went wrong with the app than I've seen elsewhere. Still, most of what it describes is installation/login errors, not incorrect data

    Been saying this

  8. Definitely not fair to blame the caucus workers but a key point is they haven't been doing this successfully for years. Every Iowa caucus has been this messy, it just hasn't been as transparent as this year

    Poništi
  9. For quarantines like this, shouldn't they take them off the ship? Seems like keeping them all together encourages the spread of the virus

    Poništi
  10. My interpretation is the app mostly worked, it's just that reporting all three sets of results revealed flaws in the process that were hidden in the past

    But this is one-part app-fail, one (major) part the normal reporting eccentricities of Iowa. Reporters have looked away from that, but now that "transparency" is demanded, this is what we see 4/?

  12. I feel like you could make a pretty good ballet about the Iowa caucus

  13. Like the technical glitches aren't why the results are delayed. Sounds like results are delayed because for the first time ever the state party has enough data to double-check the local precincts' math, and it turns out a lot of precincts have been doing it wrong

  14. I'm still not seeing much detail on what kinds of glitches the app actually had. Aside from a few people who couldn't install it or sign in, it seems like it mostly worked as intended?

  15. This is not a lot of money

    Poništi
  16. There is a gap on one of my bookshelves and for the life of me I can't think of what book is missing or where it might be

    Poništi
  17. I guess all of this is to say I'm always a little amazed when software companies manage to release fairly simple software that's slow. Computers today are way overpowered for most tasks, even my crappiest garbage code is rarely actually slow.

  18. 3)I once had a group by query that stupidly was grouping before filtering, which blew up the time it took by a factor of like 100

  19. 2)I wrote a program to manipulate treatment calendars. Sometimes users do a simple operation that affects 3 years worth of treatment, which would take like 20 seconds. I was able to cut it to a fraction of a second by having just update a date column instead of deleting/writing

  20. The issue was apparently how EF tracks entities, I was able to fix it by working with untracked entities and reattaching later
