FWIW, the “storm” of QAnon is a different prophesied event, when the secret Democrat child sex trafficking ring would be exposed once and for all and the perpetrators all arrested at once, dramatically. That’s what QAnon actually believe, and if you are that deluded, storming the Capitol building in a desperate bid to ensure that Trump remains in office long enough to break up the secret Democrat child sex trafficking ring has a certain internal logic to it.

This is no joke—one of the rioters who made it to either the House or Senate floor was carrying a sign with a vague message about saving the children, while another one—the one who faced off with heroic Capitol Police officer Eugene Goodman—was wearing a “Q” hoodie.

It’s very strange to consider that some 4chan troll had this impact on history.

To your point, I think it’s worth considering all the potential outcomes:

1. Harm coming to any of the elected officials in the Capitol that day
2. A bloodbath on the Capitol steps on live television
3. Chaotic scenes of men in pelts occupying the Senate floor followed by the resumption of normal business that evening
4. A large armed presence with physical barriers and riot squads surrounding the Capitol

Obviously in retrospect we would take #4, and that’s what we’ll get for the inauguration. But #3 was obviously the second best choice on the table, and potentially the best if you want #4 to look legitimate, especially after about half a year of anti-police narrative.

I don’t know why 1-based-indexing supporters insist on pointing out this distinction. Whenever one indexes some kind of a map with numbers – and it actually matters that they are numbers that you can perform arithmetic on, not just opaque symbols – chances are they will be computed from an ‘offset’ somewhere or vice versa, which means the notions are going to blend a lot.

Healing can not happen without some form of holding the perpetrators to account. Otherwise, society has not shown that the behaviour was unacceptable and the perpetrators are not seeing any consequences for their actions. To give an example, hardly anyone would be able to forgive someone that has e.g. stolen your car, and continues to drive by your house with it and showing no remorse for taking it.

It's also ironic that the demands for unity and forgiveness are now coming from a side who has made law&order a central part of their platform, in a country with one of the most broken judicial systems and one of the highest incarceration rates in the world.

Here's what I don't understand - this is is constantly framed as a matter of reforming Federal law, when the states could remedy this themselves by changing from a winner-gets-all paradigm to a Maine- or Nebraska-like system that allocates delegates proportionally.

The proximate reason why they don't do this, I would imagine, is that in the short term a party-controlled state wouldn't want a bunch of its Presidential vote delegates to go to the other party; e.g., California Democrats, who currently have the political power to change how their state awards delegates, don't want dozens of delegates going to the GOP and vice versa for Texas Republicans not wanting a bunch of Texas delegates going to the Democrats.

On the other hand, states like Ohio and Florida want to keep the influence they have as swing states -- they want presidential candidates to spend an insanely disproportionate amount of time campaigning there and making promises about future policy decisions that disproportionately affect local industries. If they awarded delegates proportionally, they'd lose the attention they enjoy every four years.

I'm not sure what the way to break the equilibrium would be, but do think that the solution to this is action on the state level rather than Federal. Am I missing anything?

I would recommend 21:9 ultrawide. It's slightly "squished" double 4:3 screen. Works great for a lot of use cases.

I never could really use two IDEs on 16:9 screen, with 21:9 this is not an issue. With a bit higher resolution and screen size, I get all the benefits of dual monitor screen with just one screen.
I can't imagine they don't have a meeting with 12 people around a huge table and no one says "but if we do X, we break Y".

Well, that's usually a more complicated discussion. In French and Romanian at least, the word used for "floor" in this context ("etage"/"etaj") refers to an elevated construction. So, a building with "1 floor" ("1 etage") has 1 elevated construction atop the ground. This is what leads to the apparent 0-based numbering. The numbering is actually 1-based, but people count the extra layers above the ground, instead of literally counting the floors. In fact, I have rarely seen elevators show a 0 - they normally have something like P, 1, 2, 3.

It's more complicated anyway, since there are many structures with intermediate floors below or slightly below the ground, and those are usually nominated specifically ("mezzanine", "demisol" , etc.).
> The only way I can read your argument is if I were in the spirit of "the big guy is always wrong".

How about “the guy burning the person they are currently in a business relationship with without getting all the facts is wrong”. Or “a wrong by party A against party B does not justify a wrong by B against C.”

> It's absolutely incredible how much Google has not spoken out to defend itself against the lies upon lies upon inconsistencies that Timnit has thrown out. And now another case pops up?

Er, nothing in Google’s story, even taken as gospel truth, indicates that either Gebru’s fact claims in this case were lies or that her speculations were unreasonable or inconsitent in her position given the observable facts. So, your characterization seems...misplaced, at best, even if your characterization of her past actions was accurate. (And in the cases where Google has presented contrary stories to Gebru on other points, Google’s own stories have been outright self-contradictory whereas Gebru’s were at least internally consistent, so I can either trust Gebru or neither.)
I seem to remember Google's Larry Page once proposed a similar thing in the early days, a product that would record all you read on your computer (to make it searchable later), but now I can't find it mentioned anywhere, am I imagining things?

We had some race conditions that started appearing more often over time. Those race conditions could be triggered by rapidly firing events on a busy backend.

> with 1-based indexing lower is 1 and upper is one greater than the number of elements.

Do you see +1 tweak? Also consider that "for loop" can't be expressed as </* interval and always expressed as <=/* interval. So 1-based indexing have to be either 1 <= i <= N (closed interval, bad, N - 1 != number of iterations) or 1 <= i < N + 1 (half open interval, good, but +1 tweak).
Nah, it doesn't matter if you do (prev + 1) % len, or (prev % len) + 1.

Hash tables matter more though.
Disclaimer: I don't care about this argument one way or another. However I found the author missed the point (as perhaps many commenters did?)

"...nowadays, all arguments that say that indexes should be 0-based are actually arguments that offsets are 0-based, indexes are offsets, therefore indexes should be 0-based. That’s a circular argument..."

Yes, that is a circular argument. It's not the one I would use. C made the decision that indexes and pointers are the same thing. It's a logical argument and one that's not circular. If they're separate things, then yes, you end up in a circle.

For languages that are not C-like, you could argue "pick an idiom and stick with it across multiple languages" or "make programming languages easier for humans to understand" Both of those arguments are preferential arguments. Perhaps there could be a study comparing the merits of each, but I haven't seen one yet.

I like chocolate ice cream. I like making pointers and arrays as similar as possible. I like being able to collapse pointer arithmetic down. I like doing huge mallocs and then playing around with large, empty hunks of memory. Some folks don't. I get it. Code should look like the way we think about the problem. That's an ideal state we'll never reach, but it's worthy of continued discussion.
Yep.

You know what app vendor I really like?

The Omni Group.

They are pretty much the epitome of "You catch more flies with honey than with vinegar".

They even offer their products with a subscription - and I would consider it! They let you purchase your apps for real, they're not forcing anything, and then I think I should support their efforts.

Additionally their licensing is: buy a license, type in your code, your program works. You can use your personal license on all your machines and they trust you.

Last they allow you to save your data to "the cloud", but don't force it. And "the cloud" means you can conveniently store it on their server, or on your own or someone else's webdav server.

More people should follow their good example.

Why on Earth would I want a "zero interval" slice?

It has none of the properties I want in a slice, and that a slice of literally any other length will have. In fact, it means every slice I use needs error-handling, because I might get... something that's functionally not a slice, but is still called one. If that doesn't scream "type error" at you, I don't know what would. In fact, that's precisely why 0 is a comparatively recent invention. Most list-based problems were solved just fine before then.

All these arguments are poor rationalisation for the field's inability to move on from the 8-bit era, where the loss of 1/256 of your address space mattered and compilers had bigger problems to solve than translating indices to offsets.
The difference is that with Wayland there are no design issues that prevent you from implementing it reliably and securely; if it's broken it's an implementation problem that can be fixed.

Also:

They also plan to catch the first stage using the launch tower instead of landing them on the platform. There's some fan-art around, but I can't wait to see some SpaceX originated concept designs of this.
Yes. The only time I've had a car broken into I had left a suit jacket on a hanger next to a rear window. Perhaps they thought the jacket might have had a wallet in it. They didn't find my emergency cache of 'petrol money' I keep in my car in case I forget or lose my wallet and need to fill up. This was a hotel car park in the UK town of Bedford.

If you do put stuff in the boot (trunk) you should do this before you park, otherwise it is a dead giveaway that you are hiding something valuable.
You're supposed to start out by teaching them pointers. Once they fully understand how pointers work, you move them on to Hello World so they can write their first program. Then it will be intuitive when they see 0-based indexing. I think that's the HN consensus on teaching kids how to program.

I try to avoid Adobe like the plague these days. It's not always easy, but thankfully it's getting easier.

As nobody has mentioned them yet, I would highly recommend Affinity products as alternatives to Adobe software. Coupled with Sketch, I've been able to avoid Adobe products for 2+ years now.

Affinity have replacements for Photoshop (Photo), InDesign (Publisher) and Illustrator (Designer), currently on sale for not too far off the cost of a single month of Adobe CC. They might not have 100% feature parity, but they're really very good.

As recently as 2012 I was involved in a commercial aviation project where one of the external system interfaces was a telex system for meal orders. We had to format the outgoing requests accordingly and accept responses, but actual transmission was handled by a IP2Telex bridge elsewhere on the network.

I have no idea how things looked at the other end. Perhaps it was all a sequence of bridges, with no real telex anywhere on the path.

It is basically just a portable cpu architecture with everything it entails (manual memory management, etc). While there are plans for a gc, it seems hard to fit into this model (but I’m sure the team can pull it off).

It is basically made so c/cpp and other low level languages could be run inside browsers, and I don’t really see the point of it? Like, it is probably good for a video editor running inside a browser, but it will probably mostly entail all sort of mining, unnecessarily usage of cpu and the like. And it won’t magically improve performance, since at the boundary , calling javascript is really expensive, usually much more than writing the whole thing in js. Unless of course if someone does plenty of numerical computations.
His point is that if 90% of the users were color blind, the accessibility options would be enabled by default. So, in accordance, if 99% of people use a wide screen, task bars and window decorations should be to the side, not top or bottom, by default.

Something else that may vary is whether a car has a delay when you lock it. I hired a car in the US once (I'm from the UK) and there was a several second delay from the time of pressing the fob to the car actually locking. Because I sometimes check that the car is locked by immediately operating the physical door handle, I was initially convinced that the locking mechanism was broken.
I’m not familiar with the details of the design flaw and whether or not Wayland fixes it, but those links don’t contradict this being an X-specific design flaw. I get the impression that swaylock is a direct port of i3lock, and thus stands a fair chance of being written and architected in an X style, rather than taking advantage of any superior form that Wayland may support but X didn’t.

Expressed otherwise: just because someone’s written one piece of bad software for Wayland doesn’t mean Wayland doesn’t allow you to write good software. (Whereas I get the impression from what I’m reading that X makes it impossible to write a good screen locker, if by that you require that it be crash-proof and use the usual platform toolkit for the UI.)

(Remember in this that I’m saying I don’t know. I’d like to hear if Wayland does have a good answer to this, or from anyone with definite knowledge that it doesn’t.)
