One thing I would hope there is consensus on is that 1-based indexing is easier to learn. My son is doing Python at school, and the "first-element-is-actually-element-zero" is something that has to be dinned into them, a sure sign that it is non-intuitive. In similar vein, as adult programmers we know that the half-open range is the most useful mechanism for expressing a sequence, but again we have to explain to kids that if they want the numbers 1 to 12 (eg to do a times table program) they must type range(1,13), which at that stage of their learning just seems bizarre. Actually I could go on at length about why Python is a terrible teaching language, but I'll stop there !
Yeah, this is a bunch of paragraphs complaining that arguments for 0-based aren't good enough for him, but giving no actual arguments FOR 1-based. That's not how you convince anyone. You can't just say that the other guy is wrong without giving any explanation for why you are right.

Plus, the last bit is just "imagining a guy and getting angry at that guy", the absolutely dumbest form of argumentation.

I've experienced an issue where the window blacking out the screen would get moved aside, it was something to do with plugging and unplugging monitors and somehow the screen contents would become visible. I probably couldn't reproduce it if I tried.

I wasn't too concerned about it since it still blocked all user input, but if you had sensitive info visible it could definitely be an issue.
Rebutting the dismissal of offsets as an artefact of an old language:

- pointer offsets - the article seems to dismiss these, but they're used loads in systems/network/driver programming, which is a reasonable chunk of the most important programming

- conceptual offsets - e.g. time of day starts at zero, not one. We think in this way a lot, and it's useful.

I think these kind of practices get regulated. There is absolutely no need for apps like Photoshop to be constantly online and spy on users. I think it should be illegal for the application to stay online if there is no legitimate need for it, I also hope that GDPR legislation will be extended to apps, as it seems they can just pull as much personal data as they like without any user control.

I have no issues with 16:9. I prefer something slightly narrower.

What I do mind is designers assuming that everyone has their browser maximised to a 16:9 sized window. There has been inordinate amounts of work done to make things responsive to mobile view, but then that appears to be thrown out the window when a desktop/laptop screen is detected.
This happens to me regularly with macOS too, so perhaps it's harder then you imagine.
You could also create combined call centers which service two industries which are similar enough, that the same support rep can serve them both, but have an opposite demand curve troughout the year.

There is another possible path, and it goes something like: understand that the vast majority of people do not have jobs that they like, the day job is to pay the bills.

Instead, build meaning in other areas of your life outside the day job.

(optionally) optimise your day job & savings rate towards saving and investing enough so you can afford to spend more time on meaningful activities, and less (or no) time on the day job to generate income. If you save enough that you don't have to work for 25 years, then if you invest that in the stock market it may produce a real return of 4% each year- which on average covers your expenses.

Then maybe you have the rest of your life to look for more meaningful activities, and you also have the option of doing activities that don't generate any cashflow.

It may be worthwhile to explore and learn what kind of work you enjoy doing, to pinpoint some more specific characteristics you are looking for than 'meaningful'. Some ideas:

* you have autonomy vs being assigned goals from up the chain
* you understand how your work contributes to a goal, and you care about the goal
* the day to day work is enjoyable enough of the time
* the physical work environment suits you
* you get to see your work getting used & get feedback from people who use it

(if I score my own job on these five points it gets a score of about 1.5 / 5)

I think this is the clincher in your argument (rather than Djikstra). I only use languages with 0-based indexing, and it seems natural to me, but I could almost be convinced that if only I used 1-based indexing regularly then I'd be fine with it too. But here you are with actual experience of using 1-based indexing regularly and you don't feel that way, which blows that idea out of the water.

Games where the authority of in-game state rests at the client instead of the server (e.g. ammo count, health) have no right to complain about people abusing this.

The elephant in the room however is "wallhacks" and other mods (e.g. aimbots) that expose or act upon global state that is supposed to be unknown to the player. Essentially, the only way these can be prevented is by running the game in a fully trusted and attested environment - but that is impossible to achieve outside of professional leagues with organizer-provided gaming rigs.

All attempts to come even near to this goal that are available for the consumer market however have big, big issues attached to them - they're often enough slowing down the game, are ripping up security and privacy holes, prevent compatibility with FOSS environments such as WINE, and there are almost routine reports of people getting banhammered without meaningful recourse due to some AI mis-flagging stuff.
Then you should probably care more about screen ratio, because the current trend the article talks about creates larger vertical resolution.
Are there non-mainstream languages with more tooling? Seems like it would be a bit surprising if there were…
That's tautologically true of course. What is far less clear cut is whether it's preferable for someone (and their children) to stay in a country with a bad regime that's improving or in one with a good regime that's deteriorating. It depends on many factors (levels of goodness/badness, rate of improvement/deterioration, persistence and stability of trends, how one is personally affected by goodness/badness/improvements/deterioration).

To make it more concrete, there are people (granted, overwhelmingly ethnically Had Chinese fluent in the language) who voluntarily choose to reside in China over the US or EU, and I don't think they are irrational about it.

If everyone bets on a short squeeze, someone has to hold the bag. VW did spike to 1,000€ in '08, but it also dropped hard again. So, the short sellers need to cover, they realize insane losses, return their shares back to the lender and then what? The lenders just keep them or do they sell themselves and realize as much profit as possible?

I wonder if most of the WSB people actually time this right and find an exit on the peak, because that is the implicit goal if you bet on an infinity short squeeze.

> But she didn’t show how this is harming anyone in a concrete way.

To roll with the example “man” ~ “doctor”, “woman” ~ “nurse”, the harm is having a giant and widely used search engine reinforce baseless gender biases, ie that there is no underlying reason why women should be nurses and men doctors. What is the harm you may ask? The harm may be subtle, eg being surprised when you find out your next doctor is a woman or your next is a man. It could suppress career choices and aspirations, and it could even be financial, eg reinforcing systemic pay gaps.
So I have to go to piratebay in order to run the software that I fully paid for? That cannot be the solution.

That is an interesting take. Can law regulate which apps remain in the background, how many executables they install, how much data they are allowed to leave behind? Is this really desirable? The law would have to differentiate servers from desktops, for starters.

This is why Python has negative indices :) Then it's just my_list[-1] or my_list[-2].
On the desktop with 1920x1080 I definitely feel that 16:9 is a problem and if you expand that to 32:9 it doesn't really help. But once you go to 2560x1440 with slightly bigger screens the issue with 16:9 generally becomes wasted horizontal space.

I have found with 2x 16:9 that a lot of interfaces really haven't caught up to the widescreen aspect yet and I imagine that is worse. 32:9 is going to be great for gaming however and that is largely where I think 16:9 is much better than 4:3 and why I used triple screens in the past.
Speaking of aggression, people often suspect the famous hormone testosterone as one of the prime causes. But Robert Sapolsky's (one of his papers is cited in OP's analysis) book, Behave shows something different: "While testosterone is inextricably tied to aggression, it is far less relevant to aggression than usually assumed."

Instead of asking "What do individual levels of testosterone have to do with aggression?", he posits a better question: "Does difference in testosterone levels among individuals predict who will be aggressive?"

The answer: Among birds, fish, mammals, and especially other primates, "generally no". As for humans, it has been extensively studied, and the jury is in (Sapolsky is quoting a British endocrinologist, John Archer): "There is a weak and inconsistent association between testosterone levels and aggression in [human adults], and ... administration of testosterone to volunteers typically does not increase their aggression."

———

The executive summary being testosterone's effects are hugely context dependent—this in turn means "rather than causing X, testosterone amplifies the power of something else to cause X."

I don’t have any experience working with 1-based indexing, but it seems reasonable. I certainly remember how confusing 0-based indexing felt for a long time when I first learned to program.

On the other hand, I’ve made an observation about timelines in music production software, where bars are counted starting from 1. As you zoom out, only every 4th bar tends to be labeled, which creates this strange sequence: 1, 5, 9, 13, 17… I always found that incredibly hard to reason about, and perhaps it would have been a better idea to label the first bar as 0.

Every =single= hash map worth its salt should be power of 2 length backed array. And the hashing function (for the idx of the array) is not the division (that's slow and cannot be parallelized in the cpu) but a simple bitwise AND.

In short offset 1 doesn't map well to hardware.
