Don't Be a Jerk

Hacker News - Tue, 10/29/2024 - 7:15pm

A while ago someone asked a question here on HN. I answered, and while it didn't take long, it did take a moment or two of my time. Freely given.

Then the question was deleted. No thanks, no acknowledgement, no reply. Just summarily deleted.

In the grander scheme of things it's small fry, but it irritated me. They probably don't care. After all, who am I to them? But still, it rankled a bit.

People - don't be a jerk. If you ask a question and someone answers, say thank you. They've taken the time, does it cost you too much to be polite?

Or am I just completely out of touch with reality?

Show HN: I Built a Click-to-Simulate 2024 Electoral College Calculator

Hacker News - Tue, 10/29/2024 - 6:49pm

I built an interactive tool to simulate Electoral College scenarios for the 2024 U.S. presidential election. The app lets you: - Click states on a U.S. map to simulate electoral scenarios - See real-time electoral vote counting - Experiment with different state combinations

Try it here: https://mirjamelad.github.io/adax-core-raw-example/

This is a non-partisan educational tool to help visualize how electoral votes add up.

PS: What started as a mini project to test my adax-core library turned into a toy that people kept asking to play with. So I thought why not share it here :)
