As a kid, I didn't care whether it was light out on the way to school. School time wasn't my time anyway, might as well be dark.

On the other hand, having an hour of sunlight after the school is over has been a drag, as you said, especially when it was eaten up by the commute.
What is the iPhone 8, but an iPhone original with better internals? The design differences are negligible at best. The iPhone X is the first deviation from the basic design.
No, they are TWO different things.

Yes, data can be used to improve the effectiveness of advertisements but that doesn't mean they're the same thing. There are also data brokers who are in the business of buying and selling data not specifically for advertisement.

And before the ability to track everything you click on, search for, talk about with friends online there were industries built around advertisement that still offered targeting to some extent.

Ads can target users by classifying different channels/outlets for different purposes. So a website about gardening can offer ads for gardening supplies, etc. All without having to assemble massive databases about us.

There's a difference, don't let the data brokers confuse you.

Oh, I found the experiment and blog post very interesting... Thanks for that! Also, I’d never heard of Bongard problems, so I enjoyed reading about that too.

I realize now that my comments might have sounded overly critical; didn’t mean to. The intention behind my probing was to understand precisely the regimes in which the algorithm works and fails :-) In particular, towards understanding how it might be improved and whether a NN approach is capable of solving Bongard problems.
No. Please don't break the site guidelines by commenting about downvotes. If you feel like a comment has been unfairly downvoted, give it a corrective upvote and move on. That's what others did in this case, and the comment now has a positive score.

I don’t get the downright hatred that some have for DST. If we were perpetually on winter time, then at my latitude during the summer the sun would rise at 5 in the morning which is too early for many people. If we were to be perpetually on summer time, then in winter the sun will not rise until after 8, with people starting to work before the sun came up.

Is there something wrong with wanting the sun to come up at a semi-standard time of 6–7? Is it just the system we have in place?
India, UTC+05:30, all through the year. Despite having widely different climate zones in various regions of the country, there is no "Daylight Saving Time".
Probably an OCR error.
And then we need to track lat/longs for every timestamp!

Just buy a new logic board off eBay and DIY. You just need a couple torx screwdrivers.
The problem with only having one central clock is that you no longer have relative time. Right now, I can say something like "I woke up at 11am", and you understand what that means, regardless of which timezone I'm in or you're in. It means I woke up late.

But now imagine I said "I woke up at 16:00 Z." That's meaningless without the context of what timezone I'm in. That could be early, it could be late, it could be waking up from a nap in the late afternoon.

If you force people onto centralized time, then they'll still start using arbitrary (and worse) measures of relative time, like they'll say stuff like "I woke up two hours after sunrise".
No, as long as they do not give it out to third parties. It is the same way Facebook does not sell your data, yet makes money from it.
Since devices that automatically set their own time are so common now I’ve sometimes wondered why we don’t try moving the time forward/back by some smaller increment each day instead of a full hour twice a year.
I don't see what they gain by "pushing a specific agenda." It's not like they're using this for political gain.

To be fair to TIGHAR, it's more like vigorously researching a particular theory. To be honest, they're the only ones who are sinking actual cash and bringing in actual specialists to investigate their theory, and at the very least they've found some intriguing, circumstantial evidence.
It is very frustrating to small children who don't understand what is happening, and thus it is also very frustrating to their parents.
It's something that would happen in elementary or middle school but by the time I entered high school (late 90s) was definitely seen as not a cool thing. Can't imagine that in a workplace.

Assuming the feds don't change on their end, what's stopping Florida from joining Atlantic Time (and declining D.S.T.)? I looked at 15 USC 261-264 which defines the time zones, but except for some exceptions about Idaho and Texas/Oklahoma, I don't see anything that specifies which zone each state needs to be in (or other geographical specifications)
In the US, cities and development are essentially centrally planned. For any given piece of land, the city dictates exactly what kind of building can go there, how tall, how wide, how many stores or housing units, what kind of businesses can be there (if retail/commercial), how large the yards are, where the building is on the lot, etc., often down to things like the color of paint on the window shutters. It's illegal to build luxury skyscrapers in the suburbs. Indeed, it's illegal to build anything except detached single family houses with two parking spaces on plots of land measuring 100 feet by 80 feet with twenty feet of side yard and fifteen feet of front yard and two stories tall but with the second story having half the floor area of the first story and etc etc etc., the laws are very detailed and give zero room for any variations.
The point is the age of the internals, not the design deviations.

5 year old phones don't run todays software very well.
> The rationale, of course, is to feed in values that test each code path

That's the absolutely wrong way to test a function. You want to test a function so _as the implementation changes, the same output follows the same inputs_.

Counterexample: I might refactor that function without those code paths (e.g. write `x*sign(x)` instead). Do I need only one test now?

Declarative/imperative is orthogonal to high level/low level.

Nope, OP is correct - the Chatham Islands are GMT + 12 hours 45 minutes.
Nearly good job Florida. I hate DST for personal and professional reasons, but this is a very "Florida" reaction to dealing with this problem.
There are various 'tools' which parents do not allow children to use unsupervised simply because they are cautious of the negative effects. For example, would you allow a child to operate vehicles, kitchen utilities, or weapons alone?

I agree with your point of educating kids to play responsibly, but this does not mean allowing them to do whatever they want in a dangerous territory.
We can just start using kilosecond, megasecond, gigasecond. Like in Vernor Vinge's novel Deepness in the Sky ;-)
Conversely, anthropology has advanced a wee bit since 1941 when that original examiner looked at them.
What's wrong with the "6 year old design"? All phones since the original iPhone are basically a slab of glass with improved intervals and different size screens.

I have a larger phone but the larger screen doesn't actually help me as far as usability. I use my phone for typing email and messages because it's better for one hand use. But I'm quick to grab my iPad given a choice.

So why not get the smaller phone?
Except if we did abolish time zones rather than asking Google "what time is it in Melbourne" you ask it "is it the waking hours in Melbourne".

In either case you don't know what time to call Melbourne. You either need to know a complicated and inconsistent system of time zones, or you just ask the same question in terms of when the sun rises and sets. You don't get out of asking a question, you don't lose any information (there is a 1 to 1 equivalence between what time it is somewhere and when its noon there, you could ask either question and have the exact same thought process comparing a time to "safe" hours to call someone).

That article argues that the current system is some miraculous saver of sanity by solving all the problems associated with telling if someone is "awake" or not in a certain time zone. Except I have two cousins, both living in the same time zone, one of which wakes up at 6am and the other wakes up at 4pm.

Also, from personal experience calling people both without and with substantial time zone difference, you never know when its a good time to call someone else. They might have had a long day and took a nap. They might not be home when you think they would be. They might be engaged in an activity they don't want to be distracted from. For practical uses of synchronous communication you need to have agreements on when to call in the first place.

If I'm calling someone I know, its because I know from experience when they are available, relative to my time. It does not matter if they are in Munich or Tokyo or down the street, I need to know in advance their availability for that call regardless of silly contrivances like the culturally normative sleep cycles of the region I'm calling into.

Because at the end of the day, there are still tens of thousands of people in Melbourne working the night shift.

Yes, there's a fairly simple proof, specific to the B3/S23 Life rule, not true for all similar CA rules. Unfortunately this comment box is too small to contain it... and the proof only applies to structures traveling through empty space. If you're allowed to have pre-existing live cells ahead of the glider, there are known "wires" that transmit information diagonally at 2c/3, easily fast enough to get ahead of a glider and stop it.

The gpg approach was available in September 2017, when I used it to setup my account. I can't tell you any better than that though, and that's part of the nature of opaque aggressive growth startups today. Things just disappear or change with no acknowledgement of the past unless it's part of the story the company wants to tell about itself today. It's reasons like this that I tend to lose all interest in a project as soon as I hear they've taken VC.

> he just picked two of the highest acclaimed titles of the year

Shame on you. To totally ignore his actual point because you don't understand the basic premise. The "acclaims" you cited are nonsensical in the context of other titles. It's like when Winger was considered a good hair band in the early 90s. It's not that they were good, but that no others of any note had appeared in awhile.

Into the Breach isn't innovative in any way and this is an article trying to inject some sense of "magic dust" being added instead of it being a recycled idea with pixelated graphics from a well-known developer.
You're hiding behind bad statistics to basically ignore all high end android phones, Galaxy devices etc. You're pretending the entire high end android market is "negligible" by using such shoddy statistics to essentially claim "Android = Budget". We all know what you're doing when you make cheap, short comments which obscure context to push narrative.

This is a very similar situation to people who use averages because medians don't tell the narrative they want.

You have a narrative, and you have damned statistics, so reality doesn't really get in your way.
There are regions that have timezones offset by 30 minutes, e.g., Australian Central Standard Time, UTC+09:30. In this case it's not for fitting in extra timezones though, since the neighbouring zones are UTC+8:00 and UTC+10:00.
I don't mind at all, though credit should really be given to make's authors, I'm sure it was intentional.

I live in NZ, I work in California, I get up at 5am in (my) winter, 6am for a few weeks in spring/autumn, 7am in summer - I have breakfast (lunch at) 7/8/9am, I quit at 1/2/3

In case you haven't figured it out DST transitions go the other way in the southern hemisphere - UTC would make so much sense (and for me being at roughly UTC+12 wouldn't be such a big deal)

This episode starts down the path of test strategy with the first tests to write in either a legacy system or a project just getting off it's feet.

We cover:

- My approach to testing existing systems.
- Put names to strategies so we can refer to them later.
- Explain the strategies in general terms and explain why they are useful.
- Discuss how these strategies are used in an example project. (The code is available on github).

Strategies covered today:

- Dog Fooding
- Exploratory Testing
- Tracer Bullet Tests
- Act Like A Customer (ALAC) Tests
- Manual Procedures
- Initial automated tests at 2 levels, API and UI.
I live in a place where winters are long, days are short and skies are either gray or dark.

Having the opportunity to see the sun even for a couple of minutes when coming out from work is a great feeling that has a big impact on people's mood and mental health especially at the tail end of winter. Electric lights don't have that effect.

I also spend more of my non-working time outside and I'd love to be able to go out for a run without a headlamp earlier in the year.
Just shift the school schedule.

Determine the optimal time for Wednesday, round to the nearest 10 minutes, and apply that to the entire week.

Considering the student with the longest commute, they should leave their house an hour after there is enough sunlight to make things clearly visible to a typical child in a typical bedroom.

The school can't possibly match up with every different work schedule. Matching up with none of them is fair. It's not the school's problem anyway.
Isn't that just gambling, then?
For the run of the mill Android phone, why buy insurance at all? My teenage son is always breaking phones. We haven't allowed him to get a phone (with his allowance) that costs more than $100.

I read "Debt" as well, so I had the same reaction. But it should hearten you that the author agrees! Two paragraphs down, he argues:

"But modern research in the domain of commercial history and numismatics, and especially recent discoveries in Babylonia, have brought to light a mass of evidence which was not available to the earlier economists, and in the light of which it may be positively stated that none of these theories rest on a solid basis of historical proof—that in fact they are false."

A few paragraphs later, he even says:

"In both these instances in which Adam Smith believes that he has discovered a tangible currency, he has, in fact, merely found—credit."

In other words, the author who wrote this piece, A. Mitchell Innes in 1913, is one of those "contemporary anthropologists of money."
I have given away many copies of Hackers and Painters...

Since you're familiar with the namesake of the following question (or vice versa) could you explain this RAQ?

I don't get it. These questions seem similar: Why don't more hackers have milking cattle jobs? Why don't more painters have doctoring jobs?

Clearly I'm missing something!

How is Stellar still "in the gate," more than two years after deploying their decentralized Byzantine agreement algorithm?

Ripple has only just now, in 2018, published their decentralized consensus algorithm (Cobalt), which as far as I know is not even in production use yet, and doesn't provide optimal safety. (In settings where Cobalt is guaranteed Safe, SCP would be too, but not vice versa.) Their production network still uses a protocol that, by Ripple's own analysis (https://arxiv.org/pdf/1802.07242), fails to guarantee safety without >90% agreement on the UNL.
Also, are these outdoor cyclers? I wouldn't discount the possibility of being outdoors playing a role in immune health.
We initially went that route but changed for a couple of reasons:

1. The performance of bind mounted host volumes in Docker for Mac was pretty disappointing. We found our initial builds were substantially (~3x?) slower inside a (volume mounting) container than out.

2. Having to build all of our services when you started the stack was also slow, versus the minikube + telepresence setup where you by default run pre-build images (the same ones we deploy) and swap out services as needed. You can mitigate this with well written Dockerfiles that do a good job of caching layers but it can be tedious.

The "elementary" vs. "engineered" distinction might be clearer with an example of an engineered spaceship, like one of the Corderships: http://conwaylife.com/wiki/13-engine_Cordership .

Inside the 13-engine Cordership are thirteen switch engines, each of which moves at a twelfth of the speed of light, but leaves junk behind. The thirteen pieces basically collaborate on cleaning up each other's junk to make a clean spaceship.

It's very difficult to prove that a large elementary spaceship can't possibly be created by crashing gliders together (for example). Several elementary spaceships do in fact have known glider constructions, but that doesn't stop them from being elementary -- you can't pick those spaceships back apart into their constitutent gliders once they're constructed, and often they're traveling a totally different speed and direction than a glider anyway.
