  • And the rest of the time it shouldn’t just be choice of locking them in a room vs entertaining them. Just include them in whatever you were going to do anyway. Cleaning the house? Kid gets a small/toy broom. Laundry? Kid carries empty baskets or something. Holding wrenches or flashlights for repairs is traditional.

    None of these things will make the tasks go faster, of course, but the child is occupied and learning to be helpful, and you aren’t driving yourself crazy trying to run a household and entertain them 24/7 at the same time.

    Well first off, through God Linux, all things are possible. You can have multiple hard links to a file, where a given hard link is deleted, but you can still manipulate the file through any other other links. Alternately, you can open a file, and while you have a valid open file descriptor, delete the file. The file descriptor is still valid until you close the file though, so you can still save (thus move) it to a new location.

    Windows locks files when you open them, preventing these kinds of shenanigans.



  • In addition, good elections have a couple more properties. They should be understandable by the average voter. Paper ballots work well for this (esp. in FFTP jurisdictions). Online voting makes it really hard for even experts to completely understand the system, and impossible outside of a tiny number of experts to verify.

    Second, elections are a social activity, and should feel like it. Anything that make an election feel like we’re all getting together to select our leadership, rather than an adversarial process should be encouraged. Online anything these days seems to be optimizing for max animosity. A counterexample might be the Australian democracy sausages.
