Maybe I was a little harsh there. I’d prefer the folder approach. Instead of running a search you’d just open the folders. Not hard either, on macOS you can option drag to make an alias.

You advocate what you call a “content first approach” but that’s not what your solution is. It is a text first approach. Text is one kind of content. There are many more.

I know the guidelines ask not to modify the title. But just fyi editorializing is when you go beyond merely adding information: editorialize verb ed· i· to· ri· al· ize ˌe-də-ˈtȯr-ē-ə-ˌlīz editorialized; editorializing Synonyms of editoria

Electric looks outstanding. It seems like the sort of thing that would take some time to spread but once it does and people take the time to learn it it could be huge.

Pure speculation but I believe this is the first release since Rich Hickey left nubank so could be more attention from him.

What do you mean by “inability to check macros”? You can s/fdef macros with spec and it checks the calls at compile time. In fact Clojure core uses spec to check macro calls as you can see in the stack trace sometimes when you call one

Lol I read plenty of long articles on a 14.4kbps connection and have been around long enough to know you’re using baud incorrectly :-) Without trackers and superfluous images, excessive CSS etc you could load a nice long article reasonably

I’m glad they uncovered and reported this but I’d be super reluctant to actually log in using purloined credentials if I were them. As macNchz says elsewhere in this discussion, CISA/TSA/DHS does not appear to make any assurances

You’re certainly entitled to the opinion that an agreement (as in EULA) is distinct from a license (as in GPL, MIT etc). But many legal minds close to this issue have moved to the position that there is no meaningful distinction, at least w

Surely you can understand how a bank would be more skeptical about an account holder who lives in a different country, is a citizen of another country, etc? Not saying he deserved it (Chase sounds pretty infuriating) but similarly saying so

I feel bad for you and not a fan of Chase’s behavior here but I would never open a business banking account in a country different from the one I’m living in unless I had an extremely good reason (like a statutory requirement). Particularly

I’m not taking about all that, I’m disputing your assertion that Patreon was not making a value judgment. They absolutely are. They are contorting their offering heavily to be able to stay in the App Store. Clearly they get some value from

You’re wrong to suggest the Journal is no longer owned by Dow Jones. Maybe you’re referring to the fact that until about 16 years ago Dow Jones was owned by the Bancroft family, then it was acquired by News Corp (Rupert Murdoch). I think th

This is really about whether reading highbrow fiction specifically can make you happier. I find it odd. Fiction was created as and remains fundamentally a form of entertainment. It’s like asking if watching Netflix can make you happier. Yes

That seems like a totally valid perspective. Macports page I linked claims that Apple is often too slow to update, and in some cases only does so when there is a security breach. I can’t vouch for if that’s true. In my experiments maybe 10
