This morning I wrote to NYC Mayor Adams rejecting proposed cuts to NYC Parks. And in a couple of hours I'll be volunteering at the Greenbelt Native Plant Center.

I hope you'll join me and the Coalition by sending one, too.

The leaked files from the disclosure seclists.org/fulldisclosure/20 have since been removed from developercommunity.visualstudi. Someone on Reddit (reddit.com/user/TapAppropriate) posted a direct link to a download from azurewebsites.net that's been taken down now too. The #InternetArchive has the files still at:
web.archive.org/web/2024062421

Unfortunately I cannot verify whether those files/the link was the original file or a re-upload. But at least all files within `ICE REPRO.zip/Linker/linkrepro.zip' match the size (in bytes) of the originals as given in the listing on seclists.

The file download from there has the sha256 hash:

d4c1a74f81e5259596466027ebac9f7eb026931c7cef02e5c37d884bbbb7f96f ICE_REPRO.zip

---

In addition, the disclosure notes that the MS symbol server does (STILL ONLINE!) leak the PDB of warbird.dll if requested. A backup has been re-upped here: files.catbox.moe/8iz2qk.pdb

Again, the sha256 hash. This has been matched against the original served by the MS symbol server:

2e8b5e0c17b4a4693ed494444f347f22a2eed15bcade18a5ac25d370011f8aa5 warbird.dll.pdb

---

I provide those hashes just for people to be on the safe side while analyzing the files. Keep in mind that accessing those files may be illegal.

@rlmcelreath I’m game. Also #Playfair might make a nice addition to the list: „[William] Playfair had a variety of careers. He was in turn a millwright, engineer, draftsman, accountant, inventor, silversmith, merchant, investment broker, economist, statistician, pamphleteer, translator, publicist, land speculator, convict, banker, ardent royalist, editor, blackmailer and journalist.“

[3/3] That analogy and complaint might seem a bit forced, but they aren't. We still refer to the NYT and other heavies as a "paper," but it became something utterly different decades ago. It's now an international, transmedia operation more like its progeny (News Corp in particular), and it's no accident that coincides with the terminal stage of US journalism. That could have played out very differently. There's always a risk of utopian nonsense in observations like this, but if the NYT had focused its efforts on strengthening serious journalism across the US, it — rather than PE and Gannett — could have vacuumed up locals across the country and built a very different kind of empire, much more responsive to local issues, needs, etc. The ideas needed to form a vision like that were explicit and widely discussed, so we can legitimately criticize the NYT's choice to follow a winner-take-all path. And the country, and the world in general, are paying a very, very heavy price for that, imo.

I think that's a pretty good "frame" for thinking not just about Snowfall. It also offers a pretty good frame for thinking about dataviz more generally. I love design and have devoted much (though by no means *all*) of my life to it, but a *lot* of people involved in it can't see much farther than their nose — which is one reason they can be so brilliant at what they do. As I noted in my post about dataviz a few days ago, datavizzies are still mired in a sort of nouveau-riche drive to dress their field up in signs of tradition and legitimacy, so the ways they historicize and "socialize" their field are, in a word, silly. It's way past time for them to rip down their #Playfair posters, burn their #Tufte books, and start thinking more deeply about the construction of all the data they visualize.

I should add: if you like this, maybe make a note to hassle me every few weeks (via DMs/email plz) to FINISH THE FUCKING BOOK I've been researching and writing for a decade+.
