A computer is just a tool with an interface. If the interface requires you to learn an entirely new language then it seems like it’s a bad design. Why would you use it?

milowata commented on Andrew Cuomo Says Zohran Mamdani "Won" NYC Democratic Primary cbsnews.com/newyork/live-... · Posted by u/hackyhacky
Curiously the BBC also used quotes around "won".
>In a speech to supporters, Cuomo said Mamdani - a 33-year-old democratic socialist - had "won" the primary race and that "we are going to take a look and make some decisions".
Perhaps there's a reasonable explanation. I think news agencies are using the quotes because a) it's a close race and counting will continue next week, and b) Cuomo may have been referring to the primary race but not to the general election.
From the BBC:
>In an interview with the New York Times, Cuomo said he was still examining whether he would run in the general election in November on the independent line.
>"I said he won the primary election," Cuomo told the outlet. "I said I wanted to look at the numbers and the ranked-choice voting to decide about what to do in the future, because I'm also on an independent line."
I haven't been following the race but maybe this is why the news agencies are using quotes around won. Unless any other commenters know a better reason?
The primary is ranked choice, so no candidate will win until they have over 50% of the votes. Since neither has that now, there will be a series of rounds of distributing choices to candidates. Cuomo is basically saying “he will probably win” based on the sizable lead Mamdani has, but it’s not technically over yet.
