I am using an iPad connected to my MBP with the sidecar feature. It is somewhat buggy currently(1). I am updating my iPad to see if that is the issue. Do note that I have an iPad 9th gen and an Apple pencil 1st gen.
(1) The tap (left click simulation) does not seem to work which stops me from changing from writing to erasing. So I have to use my mouse instead of the pencil
I understand the costs were higher. Albeit, it could be called a political stunt, did it not provide a lot of employment? So, while inefficient was it not a good thing (in at least the short-term, the long-term could be debated).
My understanding of the federal government of the US is that it is mainly a subsidizer of their national military-industrial complex. Something I would call: military-industrial socialism.
With that said, it is just more of the same in a different era. 1930s and the Empire State Building: to re-invigorate the economy, Eisenhower and the interstate highway system: to provide a stronger national defense, etc
Ah, I thought it was common knowledge; You don't, yet... Thank you for holding me to a higher standard.
I wrote not from second hand knowledge. Nor, is it apparently apparent.
Here is one source: (1).
If it this is insufficient for you, for it seems you do not trust me as a source on the subject, here is a quote from the Book of Mormon:
"And he had caused the cursing to come upon them, yea, even a sore cursing, because of their iniquity. For behold, they had hardened their hearts against him, that they had become like unto a flint; wherefore, as they were white, and exceedingly fair and delightsome, that they might not be enticing unto my people the Lord God did cause a skin of blackness to come upon them."
(2 Nephi 5:21) (2)
I will not belabor the content of this quote, for it is, hopefully, now clearly racist.
[Addendum: I re-read the thread and it seems to me now you were answering to me who was answering to a bifurcation of the original comment. I agree the original commenter would ideally have substantiated his claims. So would have the answer, (to which I answered) which claimed that because they are Mormon then they should be spared of judgement or scrutiny. I disagree (but that is something else).
This whole thread could have been avoided if the term Mormon would have been omitted. Which, I believe would have been fine, since whether those communities were LDS or not, it would have been the same.]
Your understanding of modern Mormon culture and their modern ethical inclinations does not change history.
Any religion such as hinduism with their caste-based discrimination and mormonism with their skin-color-based discrimination is in their correct place when found in disrepute.
Please inform yourself before standing for such shameful and unethical/immoral belief system.
I use Roam Research. It's just the tool I use. I use it because there was hype for it.
I delved deep into meta note-taking with RR. Watched videos, participated in book clubs, built a zettelkasten, etc.
While meta note-taking is not note-taking, I found the time spent meta note-taking meaningful. It is a reward on its own. The benefit, is that I now feel comfortable using my tool. And using it, I do.
While I also prefer for each of my passing seconds to contribute to the production an artefact, if it is not the case then it is fine too. That is the distinction between project and hobby.
I started as note-taking hobbyist and now I guess you could call me a note-taking pro :)
Fascism is a dead political movement that lived in Europe beginning to mid 20th century. Everything else that came afterwards is something else, different. By using that term you are referring to those dead political parties. Who is a Nazi nowadays? The political party does not exist anymore as far as I know. ie No one is a Nazi today.
You do you, use that word if you want but you are not promoting a healthy conversation if you start labelling people and assuming to know their perspective.
I agree that democratic governance is good. Yet let's be frank, kids have no place at the table. It is the responsibility of their parents to listen to them and promote their needs at the said table. ie at the table everyone should be taken into consideration (whether they are a kid or not) but not everyone should be at the table. (as for who is a kid and who is not, that is another subject)
I believe not everyone deserves to be at the table, the same way not everyone deserves to be part of a board of directors. As for why, I am certain you can figure that out on your own.
I answered you because I was slightly disturbed by your use of the word fascism. I hope you see that we are on the same boat.

On an adjacent note, personally, I do not care about nations/organizations. I care about people. Individuals. Does my country care about me? No, a country has no brain, no emotion. The question anthropomorphizes an entity emerging from a group individuals. A group cannot love me but each or any individual of said group can.
I hope more of you join. I am sharing about my latest interest: Frederick the Great and another member is sharing too: linters and the propagation of good practices.
I was going to suggest you to create one, since I know of no such place but that seemed lazy so here is a discord server I created just now for this purpose:
Having ported a Flutter mobile app to web before, it was simple.
One feedback: The spacing between rows of content gets too big on my vertical pc screen. It seems to me you are trying to make one row take the whole height of the screen.
Feel free to contact me, I would love to contribute. My email is in my profile :)
It is my suggestion you try to formulate questions on your own before reading the concrete examples I have given below. I have learned recently that being challenged when learning is good for learning.
That written, there are two pages of one book I recommend for everyone that wants some pre-made questions. The book is 'How to solve it' by George Polya. The two pages are at the start of the book. It is called the 'How to solve it' list in the contents page. The jist of it can be found on the wikipedia page of the book(1).
Here are some example questions I have made inspired by the book:
To understand:
What is the feature?
What is already there?
What are the links between what is there and the feature?
Is it sufficient?
While planning:
Have I seen this situation before?
Do I a know a related problem?
If so, can I use this previous experience?
Can I imagine a similar and simpler problem?
Does this fulfill all requirements of the feature?
I now baptize the "ask a rubber duck pre-made questions": the Rubber Drucker technique.
This is an interesting post. There is much discussion about software and whatnot here but not about the stuff of which software is made: thoughts.
The way I handle thinking while programming is to think through writing. I handwrite much of my thought process while programming. Which allows me to stop at any distraction and come back to work easily. I call my writing: my secondary memory; and my working memory: my RAM.
I hope to see more posts of this kind by a diversity of people. "What do you ask yourself or do when [insert situation here]". About programming and more.
A Youtube channel could be made out of this idea: skill extraction*. For every field...
Akin a podcast/interview. Where the whole purpose is for the interviewee to share his tacit knowledge.
Experts go and are asked questions about specific situations. Said questions are made in such a way to tease out the tacit knowledge. (using the critical decision method)
... The more I think about it the more I want it to exist. Anyone knows of something similar? Or is interested to create it? or just interested to have it exist?
Scientific claims are indeed accepted by faith in the scientists and the scientific method.
Yet it cannot fully replace religion because it does not offer a way of living, a common set of values, a story to tell. What it offers is a method to gain the truth. Truth is not intrinsically good.
We need a method to gain the "good"/an ideal. I claim by personal experience and observation of history that Christianity leads to the perpetuation of the group and the individual. Arguably survival is good but insufficient which brings back to existential depression. Not only does a complete religion (i.e. unlike the incomplete religion of science) lead to survival but also to striving for what will make you thrive, beat existential depression. i.e. A "complete religion" gives a compass and a North star, a goal worth pursuing, a definition of good, a desirable ending to the story of one's life. A complete religion teaches you to reach the "good" and what "good" is.
Of course, one can take the path of "there is no God", whatever that means, and believe that everything always was, that there is no cause. That is human. I have been reading the Odyssey lately and gods are everywhere yet humans care only when it is to their benefit. The whole book would not exist if Agamemnon would have freed the daughter of a priest of Apollo when the priest asked for her with a ransom.
My definition of god is: higher power. What does higher power even mean? I would suggest the 4 fundamental forces are just some angels doing what God says. I cannot prove it and no one can disprove it. I lose nothing and gain a definition of good. All that is required is faith in some story.
In a not quite related note:
The bit about the pressure from dead ancestors is very interesting. I like perpetuating some stories while not having faith them in order to promote imagination, art and action. This is one of them.
Don't get me wrong, I do not give advice unsolicited. Faithful or not it is just a bad idea. I dare give advice when asked. The end of my last comment could have been better built.
I never stated that faith was necessary, only useful and empowering. It is not a purely religious concept. It is one of those things that cannot be conveyed through words, the same way I cannot convey the color red or wetness without the receiver experiencing it. I imagine color blind people will never get red the way most do.
I would never expect a self-professed atheist to recognize the nobility of religious faith but to at least acknowledge its difficulty, yes. It is difficult. To act with conviction in the face of uncertainty, that is difficult and I claim noble. To start a startup requires faith in yourself, your product, team because no can one guarantee success yet you need certainty to act. Faith is not a purely religious concept.
Faith is recognized by its repercussions. An example of that is that we do take seriously desert shepherds dead 2000 years ago. But, it is not faith alone. It is also about the foundation for that faith. If all are able of faith, I guess the Norse had it. Why is that religion dead though, why did people stop believing?
It is because after 2000 years people worthy of my trust in their intellect think of Jesus that I considered this man named Jesus worthy at least to think about.
Choosing to believe is mainly suspending disbelief. Or patience with mystery. Forever. The more patience, the greater faith.
Liking a story is not sufficient to benefit significantly from it. In other words, to have skin in the game makes you gain more. The story you contribute to does not matter until you have faith. When you have faith, in any thing, you enjoy conviction, certainty. Conviction is intrinsically valuable.
What if I had the proof your life is very valuable to Humanity? Would you live differently?...
This is the sort of proof and subsequent gain faith gives.
While, sure you can gain something out of liking a story, but the gain is lesser, the lesser your faith in said story.
I choose Jesus' story because I chose him in the past and so far have been rewarded for my decision. I informed myself about other stories when I was openly atheist, out of curiosity. I did not think I could make a fully informed decision about this so I went with was closest.
Since learning more about it and other stories, I believe, this is the best non disproven story. So I sacrifice myself to it. It is a pro-humanity story. Integrity. Joy. Anti-mimesis (yes, René Girard is part of the picture). Those are very tangible gains.
It is not about being the greatest or being obedient. At its core, it is the story self-sacrifice/service for the benefit everyone, yourself included.
There is only one piece of advice I dare give atheists: intentionally have faith in something. See where that leads you. There is only so many stories that rings true to a human being throughout their whole life and that of their progeny, I believe Christianity is one of them if not the only one.
In this case, children 12 and below cannot give consent but they can use the app if parental consent is given.
Having children in that age range use the app would require Audacity to seek parental consent by "[making] reasonable efforts (taking into account the available technology and risks inherent in the processing) to verify that the person providing consent holds parental responsibility for the child."1
While they wrote to minors "please do not use the App", they also wrote "The App we provide is not intended for individuals below the age of 13."2 Not being a lawyer, I cannot talk about the implications of these passages.
An example of the problem is that in the UK those below 13yo cannot give consent to telemetry.
Audacity is used in their public schooling system.
Newer versions of Audacity will not be usable by those students anymore.
I am using an iPad connected to my MBP with the sidecar feature. It is somewhat buggy currently(1). I am updating my iPad to see if that is the issue. Do note that I have an iPad 9th gen and an Apple pencil 1st gen.
(1) The tap (left click simulation) does not seem to work which stops me from changing from writing to erasing. So I have to use my mouse instead of the pencil
edit: The issue seems to be from sidecar that does not allow tap as left click anymore https://support.apple.com/en-us/102597
