this is why we can't have nice things.
people dare to ask for help writing software that's sole purpose is to violate workers rights
A couple weeks ago @wmww was over and we talked for a while. He had an idea I'd like to put up here having let it sit for a bit.
The government should give organizations like Mozilla money based on the amount they accomplish, essentially buying free software for the world. The amount provided should be determined by competition amongst the various organizations, to encourage efficiency and effectiveness, but should be adjusted at a limited rate to insulate against political swings.
@sir Does this mean failing to call layer_surface.set_size() is legal if and only if all four edges are anchored?
That seems weird, but it's my best reading.

Nice work @wmww!

@aral @Purism @gnome today I was told that google G Suite for education has 70m+ customers and that in the USA, two schools in three are using it. I haven't checked this figure, but if it is even close to being true we are placing the data of millions of children into the hands of the largest dealer in data on earth - before we even give them a choice.
A whole generation sold into data serfdom.
We have to get the technology you are talking about into the hands of educators.
How?
Oh shit I forgot the base case.
pad :: ([1^.* 5^.] [2^.* 6^.] :: [1 2] -> pad -> [3^.*] [4^.*] :: [3 5] [4 6]) | ([] [1^.* 2^.] :: [] [1] -> pad -> [3^.* 4^.*] :: [3 '0'] [4 2]) | ([1^.* 2^.] [] :: [1] [] -> pad -> [3^.* 4^.*] :: [3 2] [4 '0']) | ([] [])
Sorry, this had some bugs in it. Corrected version:
pad :: ([1^.* 5^.] [2^.* 6^.] :: [1 2] -> pad -> [3^.*] [4^.*] :: [3 5] [4 6]) | ([] [1^.* 2^.] :: [] [1] -> pad -> [3^.* 4^.*] :: [3 '0'] [4 2]) | ([1^.* 2^.] [] :: [1] [] -> pad -> [3^.* 4^.*] :: [3 2] [4 '0'])
I'm trying to design a text processing language that's elegant and concise. I'm failing.
pad :: ([1^.* 5^.] [2^.* 6^.] :: [1 2] -> pad -> [3^.*] [4^.*] :: [3 5] [2 4]) | ([] [1^.* 2^.] :: [] [1] -> pad -> [3^.* 4^.*] :: [3 '0'] [4 2]) | ([1^.* 2^.] [] :: [1] [] -> pad -> [3^.* 4^.*] :: [4 '0'] [3 2])
I write computer programs. Sometimes they do useful things, but I try to keep that to a minimum.
