George Will goes Godwin

-
Today's bit of idiocy by St. George takes the cake, what with it not just containing the usual bad logic, ridiculous statements and obtuse language, but going quasi-Godwin in the process.
According to Saint George,
  • The (evil?) Obama's drive to federalize voter registration is part of his master plan to make voting compulsory
  • Holder's comment "We should rethink this whole notion that voting only occurs on Tuesday" is "loopy" because, wait for it, in most states people vote before Tuesday. (Yeah. I don't get it either. But it makes sense to St. George)
  • Takes a statement from the Heritage foundation (Fair! Balanced!) that voter registration rolls are in poor shape with more registered voters than actual people as gospel, and proceeds to use it as evidence that justifies the long waits in line to vote (strangely, only in tossup states. Hmmmmm), while blaming it on the Federal Govt. (I wonder if St. George has ever been to a - state run - DMV?)
  • Notice the perverse dialectic by which Washington aggrandizes its power: It promises to ameliorate problems exacerbated by its supposedly ameliorative policies" <--- Yeah, whatever
  • Managed to jump from "our democracy is stronger when more people have a say in electing their leaders." to "mandatory voting". Seriously. No waiting.
  • Rapidly moves on to claiming that people don't vote because they are happy.
  • Manages to state that smart people don't vote 'cos each vote is of infinitesimally small value, only emotional people (who aren't smart?) vote, but making voting harder changes this dynamic (how? lord knows).
  • And then the grand-daddy of them all, basically saying "You know who else had high voting rates? The Nazis!". Seriously.
It is seriously past time someone put him out to pasture - he has long outlived his usefulness, and is now just embarrassing to read....

Cannonball Tree!

Spotted this one just outside the Ravindra Kalakshetra in Bangalore .  Its called the Cannonball Tree , but is - technically (i.e., in Latin, if thats your metier) - Couroupita Guianensis , or ನಾಗಲಿಂಗ ಪುಷ್ಪಾ  in Kannada. The fruits look like Cannonballs (well, d-uh), and the flowers are really quite amazing, and pretty ludicrously distinctive...

Erlang, Binaries, and Garbage Collection (Sigh)

-
Image
The nice thing about garbage-collection is that it is makes memory management absolutely transparent to you Of course, the above is true right up to the point when it stops being transparent, at which point it does a phase change from nice to clusterf**k of biblical proportions .  There are entire posts, books, and suicide notes that have been written about this, and I have no great desire to add to them, save with the minor comment that paranoia about garbage-collection is still justified , albeit only in the edge-cases for most people. That said, I'll give you that Erlang GC is in many ways much, much better positioned in this regard than, oh, Java, but it still rears up and bites you in the butt when you least expect it. ( More information about Erlang's GC vis-a-vis Java here , and Jesper's truly excellent description of Erlang's GC here ).  A story from the past should serve to illustrate this. Once upon a time, in a magical land far far away - well, Her

Visualizing Prime Numbers

-
Image
From Jason Davies , we have El Patron de Los Primos , probably one of the coolest prime number visualizer that I've seen.  For every Natural number, he draws a periodic curve that intersects at that number and each of its multiples.  Needless to say, prime numbers are touched by only two curves (itself and 1 ). You can scroll to the right, and move up the prime food change. (The image above is a screen grab.  Go here to see the actual thing)
