The interface for Windows et al really hasn't changed enough to utilise all the horizontal space. As I look at my screen now I am vertically constrained by the tabs, the Url bar, the bookmarks bar and the status bar and task bar and all I want to do is go down vertically to read more from the comments and articles, I have to scroll to utilise that vertical space. Conversely horizontally I have a large areaa of grey and white space wasting around 50% of the screen with literally nothing in them.

I don't want the text wider but boy do most websites do a terrible job of utilising the space I actually have. Reality is reading on 16:9 is horrible, it is too wide, text is better on 9:16. Very wide paragraphs are hard to follow. For work purposes I would probably be better off turning the screens and you see that a bunch in offices.

16:9 however is substantially better for gaming and movies than 4:3 ever was. The super ultra wides are amazing for gaming as horizontal space is the most immersion impacting.

This sounds like disgruntled opinion over having to pay 18 EUR/month for something you don't watch.

Please feel free to put something more substantial behind your snappy retorts. The studies and research I've read indicates that the people mostly trust and appreciate the balance in German public broadcasting, and most disgruntled with public broadcasting in Germany are on the radical sides. The second bit is more universally supported by psychological research indicating that the average person wants to watch stuff that confirms their biases.

> Except you can't give certain organizations a unique monopoly to collect fees from everyone and then call it independent with a straight face.

You're perverting the meaning of monopoly here, I think. There's a publicly funded infrastructure for broadcast programming, as well as privately funded sources of programming. ZDF and ARD don't have exclusive right to broadcast in any market in Germany as far as I know?

The publicly funded infrastructure includes representative oversight mechanisms from political and community sources, which provide a far more robust mechanism for neutrality checking vs the programming decisions of a profit-motivated private organization.

> Finally, unlike taxes

Means testing is a fantastic point, I whole-heartedly agree that statutory funding structures like this shouldn't overburden any slice of the population.
This describes my state pretty well too. I was already considering how to find more meaning or engagement with my work but lockdown has made those feelings far far more extreme. I'm hopefully taking a three month sabbatical to get away from it for a bit soon and consider what to do about it, but considering the worsening state of covid in the UK I don't know what I'll actually be able to do during the time.

> Is it really silly though? The author of trace.moe has to label and store each anime episode somewhere, and use CPU power provided for free to search through these indexes. Adding regular TV series and movies to this dataset could really dirty what gets returned when the service is just about letting someone find out what anime some screenshot is from.

I simply quæstion the sanity of delimiting the search to animated works from a single country, and as I pointed out since it can't find something from Nils, it isn't really about that.

Edit: one thing should be mentioned that in order to login somewhere else you need to provide passphrase (which can be found in settings) otherwise you'll be forced to register another account. You can use username and password for in such case since session ID is still different but if you going to test out Session, remember to save passphrase somewhere.

Also, it looks like there's no UI language settings for whole app - it depends on system setting it runs on (at least in GNOME case).
At least as it relates to speech in Western liberal democracies, this is alleging there is a slippery slope (and we're not already on it) and there are no mechanisms that exist or could be introduced to increase the friction on that slope. It's a feel-good platitude of a quote that's basically an appeal to emotion without evidence.

Slippery slope arguments, while sometimes valid, usually require more leg work to persuade than a vague sentiment.
This is similar to the conclusion I came to. Because there are so many logical possibilities, without a reputable source definitively stating that one of these is right, the door is open for anyone to pick a narrative and run with it.
So many websites (hacker news included) just leave so much white space either side while also making you scroll. Look at the state of reddits "new" design, it uses 25% of the width of a modern screen, its absurd. Almost everyone has 16:9/16:10 nowadays you would think they might like to utilise it better.
This isn't true... Parler does remove calls for violence when they are reported.

I used to use Parler before the ban and I don't remembering seeing any calls for violence. I'm not saying it doesn't exist because to be fair I wouldn't of been in those circles anyway, but it seemed quite tame in contrast to what I see from the average person I follow on Twitter where I regularly see people posting violent Tweets about Trump, his supporters, and even tweets supportive of the violent protests we saw earlier in the year. It's only been in recent weeks that those calling for violence throughout 2020 are finally denouncing violence.

Everyone who is acting like Parler was this really radical place just didn't use it IMO. I think people are clearly right when they say this about platforms Bitchute and some of the Reddit alternatives, but as far as I could tell the content on Parler was just like every other social network, just a little more conservative leaning.

If Apple is that concerned they should ban the Saidit app where there is Jewish conspiracies and far-right content everywhere. I strongly suspect they're lying to you when they say it was because of a lack of moderation. Just like how Twitter allows Richard Spencer to remain on their platform while claiming Trump has gone too far. Evidence would suggest they don't target extremism, they target popular conservative commenters and platforms.
Honestly, the problem is that we don't distinguish cardinal from ordinal numbers in programming
As an offset (which is cardinal—how far something is from a starting point) or really any cardinal use, zero is the natural starring point. For ordinals, “1st” is the natural starring point. But we don't write “1st” in programming, even when we used 1-based indexing to try to match an ordinal intuition, we just write “1”. If we distiguished ordinals and allowed both cardinal offsets and ordinal indexes to be used, I think we’d be fine.
I've always associated efficiency of a program by its package size and with this mindset, Adobe Suite would be on the bottom of my list as being the most inefficient set of programs in modern times (proof: https://imgur.com/a/G1nJn7H). I mean come on, 7.53GB for Adobe Acrobat? Then they tell you that your install base is bloated and you can save space by uninstalling/reinstalling it. As of recently, I find myself using Figma more and more becuase I don't want to wait for the counter Adobe program to load. SMH! I hope someone from Adobe is reading.

FYI, WinAmp v2.8 is not #1 but high on the same list for being a butt kicker for its package size!
I don't know how we got to this state that we don't control our own basic processes and how they behave.

Thanks! Actually I had read part of it but never got back to it. Now on my to-do.
No, it is a problem that you have to.

It is a design failure that the interface is not build to accomodate the typical screen that the interface is sold with.

This is like selling right handed scissors at a convention for left handed people or color coding a guide for colorblind people
If you have a function, there is a certain equivalence (in terms of compilation) where you can either allocate it as a closure at runtime or emulate the effect of that by just tracking it fully at compile time and inlining it a the site of use. If you do the later, you can avoid having to do a heap allocation that having a runtime closure would require.

I said it is an equivalence in terms of compilation because, whether it is allocated as a closure on the heap, or tracked at compile time has no bearing on the correctness of the program. It only affect its memory allocation and performance profile.

If you are a C programmer, or working at a similar level of abstraction, this concern over heap allocations might seem academic, but to a functional programmer such as myself there is a lot of importance because we use function composition for all of our abstractions and don't want them to heap allocate as closures. The more abstract the code we are writing is, the more inlining matters.

The way I am describing this is confusing because inlining is not an event that happens. Rather inlining is the default. Tracking functions at compile time is the default. Heap allocation of them and their conversion into closures is an event, after which the compiler stops tracking variables of a function on an individual basis and keeps track of them at a lower resolution.

> I would have thought the opposite of heap allocation was "stack allocation"?

| Stack | Heap

------|-------------
Full | x |
Box | | x

To get a full picture of how Spiral's partial evaluator sees functions and recursive unions, it consider the table above. Spiral is designed so that it is very easy to go between the fully known and boxed. You don't actually control heap and stack allocations explicitly, but instead shift the perspective of the partial evaluator through the dyn patterns and control flow.

It just so happens that a very natural way of generating code for fully known functions is to leave their variables as they are on the stack. If the function needs to be tracked at runtime, then those variables are used to make a closure. The natural way of compiling things that are fully known (functions, unboxed unions) is to put them the stack. While things that are boxed (closures, boxed recursive unions) are on the heap.

This is just on the F# backend. If I were compiling to LLVM for example, I would not use a stack, but the infinite amount of virtual registers instead. And non-recursive union types are compiled as structs, meaning they should be on the stack even in boxed mode.

This view of memory is more complicated than the usual heap vs stack allocation one, because I am playing a game here where I attach a bunch of other concepts to it, but it is very useful and simplifies actual programming.
Is it?

> According to an accounting by the American Bail Coalition, verified by The Fact Checker with a review of Hennepin County jail records, all but three of the 170 people arrested during the protests between May 26 and June 2 were released from jail within a week. Of the 167 released, only 10 had to put up a monetary bond to be released; in most cases, the amounts were nominal, such as $78 or $100. In fact, 92 percent of those arrested had to pay no bail — and 29 percent of those arrested did not face charges. (The American Bail Coalition is a trade group of insurance companies who profit from underwriting bail bonds.)

Exactly. When I was a beginner I made off-by-1 errors (in Python mind you) all the time. Now that I iterate directly through arrays or use map-reduce patterns I rarely have to handle the index itself.
GDPR technically does apply to apps, and in fact already covers what you're saying. The principle of "data minimisation" (https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/guide-to-data-protectio...) means you should only collect the minimum amount of data required for a particular purpose, so in theory an app shouldn't be able to spy on you and call home all the time for the purposes of software licensing when something much less intrusive can suffice. Similarly, there is no valid reason why you should be forced to sign into an account to uninstall a piece of software.

In reality though, the GDPR is not being enforced seriously and the same organization linked above who is writing those guidelines is completely incompetent at actually enforcing them.

Did you know that's largely because of all of the dedicated bicycle paths/lanes it has? That's a lot different than a rural farm town with no shoulders of note on the roads that only see snow cleared (and sees no salting of the majority of the roads) if someone in the neighborhood happens to have a plow on their truck and clears a path out to the highway for their own household.
For </<= intervals and 1-based indexing you have to write `for(i=1; i++; i <= N)`. So you lost nice property of having `upper - lower` number of iterations.

Even in maths it's pretty bad, because the Natural numbers still sometimes don't include 0, so that the 0th Natural number is 1, the 1th natural number is 2 etc. (using 1th instead of 1st to avoid the confusing nature of "first" in this discussion).

It should be made a legal requirement for software vendors to hand over the source code and build environment for both the software and the licensing servers in virtual machines to be held in trust at the national libraries / archives, and I can imagine a similar thing also for chip designs.

We have this requirement for books already for ages (in Germany since 1663 / 1871, see https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pflichtexemplar - in the US I didn't find out when it was introduced, see https://www.copyright.gov/help/faq/mandatory_deposit.html).

Oracle had this more than 20 years ago, but mostly used stored procedures (packages) to generate the html pages...
It goes well beyond that. I can't make the bookmarks or tabs on the browser go down the side even though that would save a bunch of space vertically. Windows/Ubuntu/Mac OS all use the titlebar at the top of the window and waste vertical space even though horizontal is more in abundance and has been for at least 15 years. When you step back and look at the interface its all vertical aligned, everything is top to bottom and yet vertical space is the most precious and least wasteable, why waste 50 pixels on a titlebar and tab bar? The fact fullscreen exists for some apps says it all about the OS waste of that space.

There are a few programs that do this well. NLEs for video usually use horizontal space for the timeline and they get much better horizontal use than just about anything else I use. Photo editing software often puts toolbars on the side but even though inkscape does do this it still has a toolbar even with the tools and properties either side. But websites are mostly vertical and waste most of the space a lot of the time as are browsers. The OS wastes a bunch of vertical space where horizontal is available and the taskbar/app bar is about half of the problem.
