  • Absolutely. For more progressive democrat voters already been harbouring bad feelings around the legitimacy of the establishment candidate from previous elections. The two party system already loses a ton of the feeling of choice and participation in Americans. The primary is the escape valve. It is supposed to be when people that care about politics get to argue about policy, direction, etc. Even if you don't agree with the final candidate, you feel like you helped shape the direction of the process. By skipping this, even if there were other circumstances, it feels like a huge turn off for that base of the party.

    And then for other democrats, the feeling when you have an unpopular president like Biden was seen at the time is to go anti estabilishment. But Kamala was Bidens VP. She couldnt run an anti estabilishment campaign when she was part of the estabilishment.

    If there had been a primary, whoever was the candidate, even if it was Kamala herself, would have been much better positioned for the General Election.

  • Does JSON have support for protocol versioning?

  • This used to be true, but now I don't think it is anymore. Modern frameworks and modern screen readers have no issue with acessibility.

    Some survey from WebAIM found that 99.3% of screen reader users have JavaScript enabled.

    So... are they really in accessibility territory still? Only people I still see complaining about Javascript being required are people that insist the web should just be static documents with hyperlinks like it was in the early 90s.

    Can you find a modern source with valid reasons for accomodating non-JS users?

  • But is Google buying those GPU chips for their own use, or to have them on their data centers for their cloud customers?
