#142link to the repo, init commit is like 3w old, last commit https://github.com/abstimmung-eu/abstimmung.eu
Re: German parliament votes as a Git contribution graph
#143Some of the voting results on https://abstimmung.eu/git/2024 are misleading. Votings are about a decision recommendation (Beschlussempfehlung) which sometimes negates the original request (Antrag), e.g., https://abstimmung.eu/votes/55
Perfect, thanks for pointing that out - I was just starting to think it inverted votes, since all major parties except AFD were in favor, which contradicted what the text implied to me at first glance.
Re: German parliament votes as a Git contribution graph
#144This is IMHO a very problematic take. This suggests the more votes, the more initiatives, the better. But this is very obviously wrong. Generally most industry nations have "only" a handful of large problems. (Something along climate, pensions, health care, housing and economy)
What happens when these get solved in a Stakkato timeframe shows the current US government which at this point even fails to fulfill basic needs of supermarkets. Proper laws/initiatives aren't created/fleshed out by actual politicians but by a whole army of employees of the related institutions.
Everything else is pure populism.

This kind of digitization is great. I don't know if they are doing it, but I always thought that it should be easy for regular citizens to see the historical reasons why a law or regulation exists. Because there is sometimes a good reason why a regulation exists, but nobody knows it.
Laws are usually passed with longer texts that explain why the law was passed. These are consulted by courts if there are issues in interpreting a law.
This is more important than readers may think as laws especially in civil law jurisdictions are meant to be applied based on intent, and not by the letter.

#146https://git.tricoteuses.fr/tricoteuses/a_propos has the French constitution and others (e.g. "Code Pénal": https://git.tricoteuses.fr/codes/code_penal/commits/branch/m...) under git too.
They have developed a custom tool to automate this: https://git.tricoteuses.fr/logiciels/tricoteuses-legifrance

#147Awesome! I was thinking about implementing something similar for the Swedish government APIs to improve transparency and knowledge of the democratic processes. I wonder how easy it is to adopt this project to that?
I've been wanting to do smth similar for the Bulgarian government for some time now. Let us know if you try to undertake this project

Might work in some systems but England has Case Law stacked on top of statutes. That's tricky to turn back into code.
Case law is basically monkey-patching (or wrapping / decorating). It’s part of the running law but does not modify the law itself in—source.
I had thought the goal here was something more than just 'track changes', which legislators could do in Word

#149This is great, but I think blockchain would be even better

I don't want to be mean or assert without evidence, but, I'm not really sure how to respond: #2 simply doesn't happen, or even close, and it's also not a common partisan interpretation I'm being smug about. It's just flat out wrong, both parties don't try to ram a bill through, the government actually does shut down, and there's no calendar association.

No, please consult Hacker News FAQ re: come with curiosity, good comment is something we learn from, comments get more nuanced as thread continues.
Separately, I can't tell how the articles are related.
I am not claiming there has never been a debt limit issue in US politics, if that is what you are asking.
