How can you possibly see that? This definitely needs a lot of more work on adding optimizer to reduce the elements into simplest form possible. Right now, this is just trying to put into screen what should it look like, it would be nice to have a more simplified SVG version up to primitive levels such as rect, circle, etc.

Which have significant problems. One of the smartest aspects of modern open source software licenses that's allowed them to become really widespread is that there's very little restriction by usage (e.g. only for educational use).

There have been attempts to better define NC in the context of Creative Commons probably going back a decade. But, in addition to the fact that it makes it a non-free license under OSI guidelines, it's really hard. The problem is that you either create hard and fast rules based on non-profits under US tax code or whatever (which allows some very large and potentially controversial orgs to use non-commercially) or you make essentially all non-trivial uses commercial. (Amazon referral links on your blog? Commercial.)

My personal belief is that CC should just eliminate ND and NC. ND prohibits remixing which was one of the rallying points around CC in the first place. And NC is essentially a feel good license that lets you be warm and fuzzy about contributing to the commons--while trying to make sure no one can make money from your work.

See a lot of people make money when you listen to something on YouTube a hundred times. YouTube (via ads), the ad industry (brokering the said ads), the music industry and the artists (revenue share from loyalty based on number of plays). They are giving it away for "free" under the TOS that you "pay with your time" watching ads and don't copy their content.

So when you download an MP3 of the YouTube content and listen offline outside of the YouTube player, that money stream goes away - so naturally the people making money off it get angry. And this does violate TOS - so they have a leg to sue on.

In the end, the rights holder has the right to monetize their content. So if you do want to listen 100 times offline, buy the song or subscribe to something Spotify/Apple Music which do pay royalties on offline.

But in the specific case of Nim - AFAIK there aren't that many languages around with a similar set of characteristics. For me the killer is the combination of GC (I am quite fine with not having to bother with memory management), readability, reasonable high levelness including closures etc, nice OO support, extremely good C and C++ interop and really good performance.

yes, but my point was I think its a "bad" design.

It is not part of the internet, if servers want to provide "anonymous" access they can provide a tor address. But if they don't, then accessing a standard webserver via tor is very little different than any of the other means of illegitimately accessing computers.

->web access via tor seems like a lot of effort to provide what is little more than providing "hacking" services against normal webservers.

I would much rather see for example:
https://thepiratebay.se.onion

where tor contacts the dns for thepiratebay.se to get the underlying onion address to use.

much better all round than either going through an exit node (most of which are malicious) to thepiratebay.se or trying to remember uj3wazyk5u4hnvtk.onion or whatever it has changed to now.

> There is no default other than showing you very closely related variant matching (i.e. plural to singular)...

It was not clear in your previous comment that "very closely related variant matching" included as well not so closely related variants like synonyms and related searches, given that you said it meant "plural to singular."

> Broad match is the default match type that all your keywords are assigned if you don't specify another match type (exact match, phrase match, or negative match). The Google AdWords system automatically runs your ads on relevant variations of your keywords, including synonyms, singular and plural forms, possible misspellings, stemmings (such as floor and flooring), related searches, and other relevant variations. To help deliver relevant matches, this match type may also take the customer's recent search activities into account.(https://support.google.com/adwords/answer/2497828)

Edit: The critique above may not be fair because your point seems to be that "broad match" is not the default setting (so you really think that the default shows only very closely related variants and not synonyms or related searches). However, if this is what you really meant then you seem to be wrong.

The procedural protections of the criminal justice system are weaker in many developed countries outside the US. E.g.

It failed for the same reason that Smalltalk and Lisp failed: back in the day compilers and even access to documentation cost a fortune, so there was no way to "kick the tyres" for the average developer.

Nowadays you can get them for free of course (along with supported commercial implementations) but their time has passed.

I don't think it's the cost of the food/ingredients that get's people to eat junk/fast-food. Maybe when it comes to stuff such as sugary-drinks, yes. But for food, it's often the convenience that trumps the cost. I'd say that it's actually cheaper to buy fresh ingredients, and cook it yourself, than it is to go out and binge on fast-food.

Actually I think this just stems from simple economics.

Monetization under online content-ID schemes (including relatedly serving takedowns under DCMA where required) all require the content usage rights to unambiguously be established AND verifiable in an automated fashion. Before an ad can be placed on a piece of content or served a DCMA takedown, the right to do so needs to be veirfied (eg. DCMA requires "good faith effort"), or they may get conter-sued.

With normal licenced content, that is easy to determine in an automated fashion - audio signatures will identify the potentially infringing content & then possibly some algorithms will check for fair-use - eg. length of the original song used, audio quality to eg. indicate it it's a production video or you recording your kid dancing, maybe even a human in the loop at the very end.

With CC licensed content, every piece of potentially infriging content needs to be human verified for usage rights & even then it may not be clear quickly. It is too expensive to hire an army of humans - so you would not support it at all.
The CLI is indeed hard to learn. But the simplicity of git is not using it, it's its internal structures:

http://eagain.net/articles/git-for-computer-scientists/

If you understand these, then three stages to "commit to server" won't seem too many to you. (Often you don't need the index-building stage ("add"), and then you can say "git commit -a").

What people complain about is often the CLI's inconsistency. For example "git branch -d" vs "git remote rm" to delete things. Then some things you want to do can be achieved with more than one sub-command in totally non-obvious ways. And some sub-commands do more than "one thing", like "checkout".

Not only is the driver not an evil demon, but s/he doesn't drive 100% of the time. S/he might well ride, run, or walk as well. How many cyclists who complain about drivers speeding also speed themselves as soon as they put the bike on the rack and start driving? I'd also find cyclists' eternal sense of grievance more palatable if I didn't constantly see them turn right around and treat runners or other pedestrians exactly the same way they abhor being treated themselves (e.g. close passing). Sure, cyclist collisions don't usually result in deaths - although a pregnant pedestrian was killed when run down from behind on an explicitly multi-use trail near me - but it still erodes that moral standing. It's easy to argue for the highest standards of caution and diligence when it benefits you. The true test of sincerity comes when it doesn't.
