Try closing Finder and report back ;-).

And that was definitely a bug at one point. Whenever I encountered it years ago, I was always bemused thinking about how a typical user would ever figure out how to open Finder and get to their files. No matter how many times you clicked the dock icon, the window would never appear. Of course, I know to use Cmd+N; and nowadays, a new Finder window opens as expected when clicked.
This isn't a fair comparison.

A state controlling information as a means of propaganda, and another state's elected officials calling for the removal of non-factual information which deteriorates the effective quality of the electoral process are not the same thing.

Obviously - it's all politicized on some level, no doubt.

But if someone puts up a fake video saying 'Clear evidence of election fraud' with 50M views, when the video doesn't actually have any evidence of electoral fraud ... well it's a civic problem.

One one had we have issues of state, which are probably the most complicated ... on the other, we have issues of basic civic principles particularly as it applies to the actual truth.

All of this boils down to the giant Elephant in the Room that nobody seems to want to talk about, which is that the Media has never been 'just about money'. Like Doctors, Lawyers/Judiciary, there has always been at least some degree of culture of integrity at least with respect to the facts. Big Journos don't talk about 'profit maximization' they talk about 'breaking the story'. Journalists don't idolize the CEO, they idolize Bernstein and Woodward.

Obviously, there's a spectrum here and every news organization does push for viewers in sneaky ways, they avoid upsetting major advertisers - but it's clear that the quality of 'truth' varies quite dramatically between organizations, and that it helps a lot to have those with 'better quality' near the top.

Russia has been moving in the direction of China for a long time, I suspect that will continue.
This is what national sovereignty looks like. Transnational Corporations is an anomaly.
The point is that it settles, once and for all, the role of government in policing social media. If social media really is the replication of the public town square, then one that has the same operating model is called for.

Doesn't matter if people want to go there. The point is that it exists, and the model is governed by the taxpayers.

There’s no doubt in my mind that we won’t all eventually be vegans. From a long-term view, bringing cows onto a space ship is a waste of rocket fuel. From a more short-term view, Beyond and Impossible will keep getting better and cheaper.

That said, this argument about equality misses for me because it doesn’t include mosquitoes.

Quite honestly, who around us isn't a heavy social-media user? I'm Gen Z myself, and social-media is one of those vices where there is no 'healthy' amount to have, like drinking or smoking.

So long as it's not criminal, yes.

I'm not saying I like the idea, but it's vastly better to me than to have the Overton window chosen by the platform provider. If you can propose a way to stop bad-faith candidates from abusing it, that'd be a great thing, but it's secondary to preserving the ability for political candidates to state their positions, whatever they are.
I'm glad you moved to a more permisive license, it now could be self hosted with a bit of work.

Neither your initial comment, nor the project readme discuss the Android App. You have to browse the project dirextory to find out that it exists. The Android app has the dro.pm url hardcorded as a string and generally does not appear setup to work with a self-hosted solution.

All of this is fixable, but it very much belies a project that is immature. I would personally be uncomfortable promoting this as a solution without being very clear about the limitations and work required to fit the specidies use case.

I definitely never intended to say that you shouldn't ever run an open source project. My earlier wording was not done well. My point is that if you are burning out this early in open sourcing this project, then maybe this particular project is not meaningful or valuable enough to be worth it to you.
At $25 on sale (which it currently is), a permanent license for Affinity Designer is cheaper than one month of Adobe Illustrator.

Adobe likes to advertise it as $20.99/month, but that's only with a 12 month commitment, and you can't cancel early without paying. Renting Illustrator for a single month will really cost you $31.41.

Even at full price ($50), Affinity Designer costs less than two months of Illustrator.

Not a professional artist and don't use it often, but it's enough of a value that hobbyists like me can actually use it. Any of Adobe's products, not so much.
Excellent tool for removing all the fluff: https://jakearchibald.github.io/svgomg/
It is obvious these processes are worded differently. One is phrased as a demand combined with a clear and credible threat. The other is phrased as a request.

The difference is so obvious that I have to assume you also see it. What point are you trying to make then? You believe that if YouTube did not comply congress would fine YouTube or slow down its traffic in the US?
What are the use cases for this program and Croc? What does "safely" mean? Is this to share files amongst untrusted computers?

For a small number of files, I currently just email them. If the file is too big, Google Drive or MS OneDrive can be used to send a link. This works across any OS and form factor.

For bulk downloads (e.g. downloading all photos/videos I took on a certain day), I plug my phone into my PC via USB. Navigation and selection using the file browser on the PC is much nicer than selecting files on the phone.

Does Wormhole and Croc enable use cases not covered here?

This looks pretty cool. I've been working on a bunch of monorepo tooling with Nix, and something like this (especially with LSP integration via Nix) would be amazing.

Just like any other programming language, it DOES take a good programmer to make a decent library in R that people can use on their own problems.

R has had a very long evolution. It is a very different beast today in its most common usage, than it was the earlier days 10, 20+ years ago. Even the Tidyverse has some libraries that are very much crafted with a programmer mindset like purrr and tidyr. These tools are decidedly non-imperative and not straight-forward in their semantics.

What makes R difficult for experienced programmers, I think, is the inconsistency of paradigms that are the result of its long history. This complicates how one writes library code.

There is, however, a "sweet-spot" for R and that would be as a "notebook" based programming language much like Mathematica, Matlab, and Julia. Which one you like, I guess, depends on your taste, your own history, and the killer libraries you want to use.

Whenever I have to describe what R is all about to excel jockeys at work, I just say it's "excel on sterioids". I think that's fair (albeit reductive) description. To be honest, I probably would have never learned R if Julia had existed when I started picking up R. I think I would have preferred a more ahistorical language with less "baggage" than R. But it's always worked out for me, so I am sticking to it at least for now.
Please consider shipping it unnotarized. I'd always rather have the option to allow an app through Gatekeeper than to not have a Mac version be available at all.
Stiffer fines and penalties are not the right tool to resolve this.

If you want to resolve this, the key is encouraging bike riding by, for example, infrastructure improvements like wider shoulders that make biking easier and safer.

The problem is that there aren’t that many bikes on the road so people don’t learn to look for them. Nobody wants to kill a bike rider. But if you only have a bike rider nearby .01% of the time you are on the road, it’s going to be very hard to learn to spend the extra time to look for them the other 99.99% of the time, when doing so constantly feels like a wasted effort.
>I guess you must know better than Picketty

>(he doesn't exactly say what i said, but does promote very aggressive taxation of capital, which is the same goal more gently said).

Well true, he doesn't say exactly what you said, because he doesn't anything like what you're saying. Taxing wealth above the relatively low ceiling of 1M USD at 100% would be ridiculous. He is, though, in favour of a progressive tax system that, crucially, reduces inequality below “tolerable” levels, where an “intolerable level” is a level which results in imbalances of power which undermine or destroy democratic rule and oppress those without wealth.

So his practicable suggestion is a global coordinated effort to tax wealth and reduce inequality, which his utopian suggestion is a trans-national socialist economy with true democratic control over the economy.
>So much water drained into the caverns that the flow of the Delcambre Canal that usually empties the lake into Vermilion Bay was reversed, causing salt water from the Gulf of Mexico to flow into what was now a dry lakebed. This backflow created for a few days the tallest waterfall ever in the state of Louisiana, at 164 ft (50 m), as the lake refilled with salty water from the Delcambre Canal and Vermilion Bay.
The former is coercive, and the other is not. Unless details are completely meaningless here, and we’re just making any equivalences we can come up with.

Houston does not have zoning, and the sky has not fallen there. What we have in the rest of the country is an incentive structure that is firmly on the side of rent-seeking and NIMBYism.

It is literally built into our tax code, with the mortgage interest deduction and California’s subsidy of the boomer Generation with the drastic reduction of real estate taxes.

It is ridiculously easy to solve the housing problem in SF, just tear down the single family homes and replace with high rise apartments at HK-level density. But the entrenched interests don’t want to do that.
The LEAST is the smallest. The word "least" means "smallest" At least, at the least, at the smallest. "at least": Not less than, at the minimum. It doesn't make sense for "at least" to mean "or smaller than". It literally means "or bigger than".

You can say instead: I plan to cut them down to at most 740mm for a future project.

I suppose you could say "I plan to remove at least 20mm".

It's no more difficult to understand for researchers coming at a programming language for the first time, and they need to learn significantly less about the language to get up & running with analysis. Two lines of code will get me data loaded and run a regression analysis & plot the results.

Especially consider that much of the audience for R come from proprietary and extremely expensive languages like SAS or SPSS Syntax, neither of which are significantly less difficult to work with but significantly more limited.

Something more intuitive would be nice, but I'm not aware of another option that has the depth of libraries for practical every type of data analysis that can also begin getting a researcher meaningful results in few lines of code than they have fingers on their hands. (Assuming there was no catastrophic accident resulting the loss of fingers.)

Curtis definitely was aware of Lisp. I pointed out to him that he seemed to be reinventing Lisp, but very badly. He actually acknowledged this, or at least acknowledged that this was a possibility. He specifically said that this was part of the Grand Plan (my description, not his): making Urbit radically different from anything that had gone before was an explicit design goal. That is one of the reasons I came to the conclusion that I did.

A good idea. We should also add strict term limits and bar them from ever working for any [large] company after holding office. That would prevent the existing revolving door of the "you help me with this law and we'll give you a cushy do-nothing consulting gig when you retire." Give them a good pension and bar them from any non-volunteer work.
No, at a minimum the bar has to be moved farther than the bar end length to get the branch loose. That leads to a much larger deviation in the wheel. Now add in that you are moving forward while this is happening. It all combines to make it much, much harder to come off the branch.

If you catch a branch with a bar end while moving you are going to eat some dirt.

How would the existence of a crappy government run social media site that nobody uses have any impact on the issue at stake here?
I haven't seen Urbit advocates contest the things he's saying (and he's not the only one that's said them). They'll say "it's a work in progress" or "that's not what were trying to accomplish" or other deflections.

A cogent retort would advance the conversation, but it won't happen because what he says is largely correct.
That should be the default but it sounds like it.
Yes, since that’s basically been dictated by the U.S. Government. That does not mean the banks over here are using ASCII. Very systems generally use whatever national encoding was used before Unicode (ISO-8859-1 aka Latin 1 in my case) and more modern systems just use UTF-8.

Trust me, I have non-ASCII characters in both my surname and my address. The only times I have to transliterate them are if travelling, shipping or banking internationally.

they don't even need to make a threat, it didn't even have to pass legislation. A partisan congressional group made a request because it suited them and Google buckled like a belt.

in my opinion it's far worse, it's a flagrant display of extra governmental soft power the likes of which would not be symmetrical for the opposing party.

Is this a problem currently? I am not aware of any political candidate not being able to state their position, whatever they are.

It’s even pretty cheap to do so with the advent of the internet, cheaper and easier than it has ever been.
This is awesome, this has been one of my bucket list projects. Audio on most devices sucks \.
governmental power in the US is always exercised through these quasi side-channels and the threat is indirect. "You can do what you want Susan, but..."

It's actually in many ways a more sinister exercise of power than Russia's "go and delete xy comrade" because it creates the illusion that private industry in the US is not subject to state supervision.

There was a development machine for an embedded system that had dual 8085 (!) processors. With those processors, you'd guess that it didn't do a GUI, and you'd be right. It didn't even multitask between processors in the conventional sense. But there was a key that would toggle which was the active processor, and it would take over the display and IO.
It sounds like you have a bright future ahead of you! You're doing great!

> Then end capital gains tax, all income is taxed as earned income.

Wealthy people can keep their money growing inside a corporation essentially forever. It never becomes “income”; instead they just borrow against the assets at exceedingly low rates of interest as well as classifying personal consumption items (like a private jet) as a corporate expense.

It’s possible to keep doing this until death, or even longer.
Boy, isn't that the truth. It's been shocking to see how alternative platforms get the banhammer from their payment network or hosting provider. I agree with the parent that it's hard to define what "hate speech" is. But the "common carrier" ought to apply to hosting providers and payment processors even if it can't be applied to social media sites like FB and Twitter.

Just bear in mind that the cheaper Wacom displays are not glass screens. I have the 16" cintiq (not pro) and the screen has a few scratches in it already.

The biggest advantage for me is the actual Wacom pen, which was designed to be held and used for a long time comfortably. The apple pencil is ok but I need something with a thicker grip and putting a pencil grip on the apple pencil covers the two touch buttons and stops you from recharging it.

I still have and use an iPad pro with apple pencil 2 but the Wacom pen is 1000x better.
