Nice, I hope US can do the same one day. DST changes twice a year are an unnecessary burden.

I am also not too hopeful about US changing considering its federal-state model. In EU, multiple countries can agree on a decision, but US states are adept at bikeshedding and not getting anything done :(
A nation could choose to keep DST, but it would be frowned upon as it would hinder the cohesion with other countries. They have no incentives to do so, nobody likes DST on the whole continent.
Many Siri changes happen on the server, with no client changes necessary, so they would not necessarily be announced in an OS release announcement.
Well, you still get them as part of a routine dental exam. You never did get them as part of a routine non-dental medical exam that I can recall. (And if I understand correctly, the dosage on a dental X-ray is much lower than it used to be, because the machines have improved a great deal.)
Show HN: How we built an app that manages reviews for popular consumer brands
Comments in games varied a lot. The coin-op folks did pretty well, and most of the systems code for the computers was well commented.

Lots of game cartridges had very few comments. While this was in an era where comments would slow down your turnaround time, I think much of it was the fast development pace and the fact that once a game had shipped, it was done. It was in ROM, real mask ROMs that were not patchable, and no one would ever be going back to that code again.

I'm just about exactly opposite. I can get a ton done in the morning, but then just loose focus around 2:30 and after. I tend to schedule meetings in the afternoon.

If I know I have a lot to do I'll sometimes come in early like 6:30 or 7:00 or something..

Interesting how different people work differently. I'm a big believer in flexible work scheduling that allows each person to optimize for themselves.

They have scaled it back somewhat but it is still a huge program and they are developing many types of reactors and also buy many types of reactors at the same time.

The difference is that china is totally happy with continuing to use massive amount of coal and other things for baseload power.

While it is true that they are investing massively in renewables, specially in the places it makes sense, they also are building nuclear plants and coal plants.

In the west we aim to reduce the number of coal plants, and that is very much harder with renewables.
Because that is the nature of the EU. Although I didn't personally vote for Brexit, it is that kind of thing that made so many people so antagonistic towards it. That and the amount of money shovelled into fuelling this bureaucracy.

Mojolicious is a mind-blowing framework, doubly so with Mojolicious::Plugin::OpenAPI. Unlike Catalyst, there's very few dependencies.

For a beginner, I'd recommend reading "Learning Perl" by Randal Schwartz first, then read a couple of the online Mojolicious tutorials/blogs.

Also, beginners should note that there's 2 framework approaches, Mojolicious::Lite (a wrapper) and the full Mojolicious, and mixing up the examples or documentation will confuse you.
> Java Grinder itself has some.. quirks and some things just missing, kind of mostly due to the fact that I was originally targetting the MSP430 as more of an experimental thing. One thing that was missing was the ability to do memory allocation of objects. I added the ability to instantiate some objects on Playstation 2, mostly with the Draw3D API. I didn't write any kind of memory allocator or garbage collector, so all calls to "new" are being done on the stack. I thought about doing some kind of heap memory allocator thing, but decided in the end to just keep it simple.

!

> I also added more "float" support for Playstation 2 (there was already some support in the Epiphany / Parallella code). Some other things such as "long" and "double" types are still not supported.

!!

Bloody well works though, doesn't it!

Is there a user guide anywhere?

I'm having trouble finding one. The "Getting Started" page just says "run the daemon" and not much more. There are pages on how to set the many configuration options.

What if I just want to use Perkeep, or find out what the experience of using it is like? Is there a friendly walkthrough or tutorial? Or an introduction to the concepts one needs to understand as a user, not as a developer?

I'm certain this has been published before on here and that most people are aware of this page. But with the recent news about the EU timezone change it might be relevant.
It’s not like EU countries are all in the same timezone now...? Presumably the big countries will coordinate and the small ones will follow suit where it makes economic sense.

This is also an opportunity to fix timezone assignments that don’t work very well at the edges: for example Spain shouldn’t be on CET.
This kind of reminds me of usenet, in a good way.

Good stuff!
Some of the points are valid concerns (no system will be perfect as long as we rely on the sun as being significant, which I'm expecting to be pretty normal for quite a while), but the author overcomplicates and overemphasizes the initial point.

"what time is it there?" isn't trying to figure out what time it is, it's trying to say "Should I expect my uncle to be awake?" _and_ then has to rely on a combination of google and internal expectations about a "normal" day to make that determination. In a single zone, you instead need to know how long the sun has been up there, which "4am" is just a shorthand to answer. Obviously if "4am" starts answering "how far away from now is it" (which the current system doesn't answer) and stops answering ("how long since sunrise") then we'll adopt another system to answer that second question. Given that the author literally consults a computer to manage our current system, doing so to get the answer in a new system doesn't sound any harder (and we'd quickly adopt a shorthand that we don't use today because we have nowhere to use it).

All other complaints build from that one. I don't want to minimize the complications of dealing with "days", but at the same time it's crazy to pretend that we're doing it just fine now. It fails ALL THE TIME now. Package shipping, news articles, etc. Heck, Fake News stories for April 1 now span a 36-48 hour period.

Pretending the current system works better just because we're used to the quirks is a false premise. Saying it would hard to switch is valid, but it's a short time high cost vs a perpetual but lower cost. Look at the US and the metric system, or recognizing that you can't find a reasonable definition of "planet" and include Pluto. (Okay, that last doesn't really have costs the way we lose multi-million dollar probes or smaller but more common errors in measurement conversions, but it does show how much resistance people will put up to avoid temporary discomfort).

Does anyone think we'll get LESS global? Does anyone think our current "day"-based system will work when there is more than a colony on Mars? (That may be 50 -100 years out, but I'm point the direction of the trend). At some point sunlight-based systems cost way more than we get for it. If someone doesn't think we're there yet, that doesn't mean the problem won't happen, so these same issues will still exist when we get there (in their mind).
Less buggy than iOS 10 or iOS 11 releases on launch day, at least for me on a range of different devices.
there are only so many hours [for Linus] in the day. It
is, as a practical matter, necessary to communicate that
there is a cost to wasting his time with work that
somebody should have known was substandard

This is a really a restatement of the old (yet still relevant) "Linus doesn't scale" issue, right?

It's true: Linus' time is a valuable resource and shouldn't be wasted. This is of course true of any project maintainer, or any person at all really -- it's just that the stakes are a higher in the case of the Linux kernel because of the scope and impact of the project.

it is important that that cost is borne primarily by the
originator of that substandard work (i.e. it needs to suck
more for the committer to waste Linus' time than it sucks
for Linus to spend time responding)

This is a nearly universal problem.

Imagine suggesting "hurl insults at the perpetrators until they learn" as a solution in any other field. Ridiculous!

The answer of course is to proactively reduce the number of time-wasting things that are raised to Linus' attention, not to reactively be meaner when those sorts of things do happen.

Typically you'd do this in Linux or any software project by:

(a) making sure that the other kernel maintainers are trusted and skilled
(b) making sure that everybody has a solid understanding of what is and isn't a good contribution
(c) discussing contributions ahead of time so that there are fewer surprises at review/merge time
(d) solve the "Linus doesn't scale" issue by delegating more of his responsibility elsewhere, cloning him, etc.

I should note that I have no idea about how the kernel maintainers function on a daily basis. Maybe they're already doing a really great job of those things, and it's only 0.001% of merge requests that result in spectacular Linus rants and therefore show up on HN or whatever. Since it seems like kernel development is humming along pretty well for the mooooooost part I'd put my money on that, but who knows.
I'd personally prefer shorter days to 4 day work week. If my employer offered me to work MTThF 9:30 to 5:30, I'd prefer working M--F 9:30 to 3:30. In fact, I'd much prefer working every day but something like 9 to 1. I understand that this wouldn't be optimal for productivity and most people wouldn't like it; but that's sort of what I wanna do. I also have absolutely no problem working in office, office makes me much more productive.

They could have adopted the same time anyway. This regulation has no bearing on Spain choosing to be in CET when they should be on British time.
Hospital shifts in the United States should be used as a warning for what not to do:

"Halsted promoted several very important concepts and practices in residency training: graded responsibility, a variable and lengthy training period, a pyramidal system of promotion, a resident's ward service, and, most pertinent to this article, a restrictive lifestyle. This last concept of a restrictive lifestyle meant that residents truly resided in the hospital. They received little or no pay, were discouraged from marriage, and worked 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. At first, the Halstedian model was more the exception than the rule but gradually became more common, especially after World War II when more surgeons wanted to be trained and certified for both the prestige and financial rewards."

Thanks! Dark leafy greens make total sense, but why sauna is good before the fast? Also how long and how frequent your fasts usually are? 5 days 4 times a year as Dr Longo suggests or something else? BTW I did FMD twice and the feel of hunger doesn't go away. I also suspect this happens because of the constant food intake.
What Really Happened to Apple’s Airpower
This is one of the most entertaining programming talks that I have ever watched! Good technical content, too.
But is that because people immediately take a $1000 device and wrap it in a protective case, or by virtue of the device being durable, etc.?
It is the app formally named "workflow" that apple acquired some time ago. It got renamed to "shortcut" for iOS 12 and has this ssh action in it.

If you already had the old "workflow" app it will be updated to the new "shortcut" app, if you do not have it you need to install it from the App Store.
Provided this position is 100% genuine (and by all accounts, there is no clear indication that it isn't), that it comes from Apple gives the pro-privacy stance a hell of a lot of clout. If a company like Apple is investing in privacy then the consumer must assume that privacy has a lot more value than the government insists, no?

For those who are security conscious it's a great reason to get an iPhone over an Android (or whatever variation). For those who aren't and who just like the iPhone because it's trendy and cool, they are getting privacy for free. There's a chance that this might set an expectation when choosing the next phone, as privacy pushes further into the public consciousness.

I would like to think there's a greater play, though, and that is humanity. Apple doesn't solve all its problems with tech/machine learning; they don't give you up to the mathematics. This makes some of their offering flawed when you compare it against what Google offers, but at the same time that's not such a bad thing. You won't get your entire digital life wiped out of existence, without recourse, because a calculation made an executive decision. If, as a developer, your app gets removed from the App Store or doesn't pass in the first place, it's because a human looked at it while also using a specialised toolkit. You get proper customer service, physical stores and authorised resellers...

They make as many poor choices as any other company but I appreciate their priorities and values.
I wonder why people couldn’t just start work earlier. The day is the same length.
I’d be interested if such podcasts exist.
At some point Firefox started being unstable and sluggish to my recollection. At this point Chrome was up and coming but it was pretty fast and clean. So we tried it and switched over. Now there is lots of inertia to switch back. Also if you use a lot of Google services, you can count on them been well tested with Chrome.
> I believe it's truly close to their heart, and it's a happy coincidence that it's also increasingly a marketable asset

I think it's both, and impossible to separate. It's a public company, it doesn't have stuff close to it's heart, but it does have ideals it strives for that it presents to the board as the path forward. Part of that explanation is explaining how it helps the company.

> So, just asserting that it's purely a marketing move and then furthermore implying that a deviating assessment is delusional strikes me as unjustified.

But, if you read carefully, it wasn't asserted that it was purely a marketing move. Just that it was one (which we've sort of covered tangentially), and it was delusional to think that it wasn't (which we've also covered). There wasn't any statement that it also wasn't something they've incorporated into their company ideology.

That's one of the shortcomings of delayed text communication. What could have simply been a quick reply of "sure, it may not be the only reason, but it can't be discounted" from the original author gets blown out into a larger discussion where people are arguing slightly differently things based on their contextual interpretation of the statement.

I would start by drawing a distinction between misdemeanors and felonies, since that could be done immediately. Make it so everything less than a felony conviction is not part of a background check. Including arrests, etc. So as long as you've not been convicted of a felony, then you get to say no to all those filter questions on job & housing applications.

Then I would make it a requirement that every state offer a realistic way to have felonies expunged by petition after a certain length of time. Prove you're not a problem, get back to a clean record.

Honestly, there are a lot of people I don't want around me or my kids who haven't been convicted of a crime. It's hardly a perfect filter as it is.

There's another bill that ties net neutrality to state contracts. It would forbid the state from signing contracts with ISPs that don't follow net neutrality. They could also tack on taxes to non-compliance ISPs. The State will ultimately win the fight. It was very short-sighted for ISPs to make this federal issue because it would have just ended up with states.
