You're misconstructing what "inside the system" means. What it really means is to infiltrate the institutions of power (government, military), to rise through the ranks and affect change from a position of power. You're

But you can't _not_ use the bag, that's the point. You know they know it's alcohol, they know you know, etc., yes. But you still have to pretend. I find it a substantial difference to be honest.

Disregard my previous comment. I looked into it and apparently Rodeo's company was acquired and the IDE became unsupported and is now a dumpster fire. Also, it used electron. So long live RStudio, I guess.

What about Rodeo? From the looks of it, it's getting close. And honestly, at this point I continue to use R because of RStudio and the tidyverse, otherwise I would have ditched the language a long time ago.

I was writing a long post but I deleted it. I don't know what to say, I don't like the guy, but I have an even stronger dislike for how international politics and intelligence services work.

Then you're google-fu is not very good. I easily found the manifesto and a 40s video of the massacre.

Maybe at some point in the past a decriminalization approach would have put a stop to the violence that is tied to illegal drugs. Maybe. But that's not the case anymore. Cartels don't really deal in drugs, they deal in violence th

And any arguments that "the data is expensive to collect and proprietary" can be countered with "code is expensive to write and proprietary, yet open source still works". These two are absolutely not equivalent. I'm

At least you had the data... I've been a number of times in a situation where I was supposed to conduct extensive, thorough analyses of (expensively acquired) data that was evidently useless. I still had to go through the motions, know

It is insane. I see the same argument in every thread about GDPR and I just can't wrap my mind around it. I can't imagine how well represented or identified by nation-state politics these people must be that they are willing to co

I don't mind iceberg in a salad since it's the main ingredient and I know it's going to be there, but I hate finding that watery crunch in a sandwich. It's equivalent to biting, sipping a bit of water, and then chewing.
