This is a nice idea - it brings focus to the job process especially for people who are just getting started and can get overwhelmed by all the options on a standard job board.

I have two comments though from a practical perspective:

1. If this one job (with a very specific team and requirements) is being advertised and your site gets popular enough, thats 100s of applications for one hiring manager to go thru in one day rather than a trickle over a few weeks. On one hand that might be appealing but from a practical perspective, that means most resumes won't get a fair shake or it will take forever to get back to everyone (if it all). This feels like a strictly worse user experience for both sides in terms of backlog, time to feedback, and fairness of evaluation. Not to mention the backlog of jobs itself waiting to be featured means most jobs will get 0 applications from you while they wait in line and that does nothing to fill the role.

2. If the job has some nuanced attribute to it like a foreign language requirement (current post requires Japanese) or an untenable relocation requirement, the subset of jobs that are even a possibility to a typical visitor is highly reduced. If that's 1 in 10 jobs that work from a skills and logistics perspective for a given applicant, that's on average only 1 option every 2 weeks which could really slow down a sensible job search process. From a product perspective, this will lead to high bounce for first time visitors - Perhaps you could mitigate this by showing the last 5 days of jobs if someone wanted to see them and that might motivate them to sign up for the daily recurring email if they see more potential for value. But that still doesn't solve the impractical nature of only seeing 1 tenable option every couple of weeks for someone genuinely trying to find a job quickly.

I understand the concept is one a day and this can be expanded by creating some more relevant tracks but it feels you may just end up converging on a standard job board :)

In my opinion, the biggest problems in job search are relevancy for applicants (as you say, you just need one hyper tailored job) and triage for hiring managers (what's the best way to screen a huge set of people on items that are (1) easy to gather (not a ton of open ended questions) and (2) hyper relevant to your specific position. Would love to hear your thoughts.
Imagine a world in which everybody does everything earlier during the summer, including buses, and we were discussing the convenience of having DST: "but if we move forward the time, the buses will start running before people go to work and they will be much less frequent when I have to leave!".

We need a convenience to which everyone agrees about how to deal with the different sunrise and sunset times. The question is which system is more convenient. But you cannot evaluate one of them under the assumption that everything will work following the other one.

> Clock time is just a semantic construct. You

Standardized clock time is a mechanism for coordinating social consensus around which social behavior is organized.

> The real, simple answer IMO, is for people to wake up earlier, go to work/school earlier, and go to bed earlier.

Debates over clock time are actually debates over coordination of behavior to make the things you suggest viable, or not, given the external dependencies which effect the incentive and cost structure for individuals doing the behaviors you discuss.

To put some concrete numbers around that, by meaningless cosmic coincidence, it happens that around the 45 latitude line, the summer/winter oscillation occurs at nearly exactly 1/3rd and 2/3rds, that is, in winter you get 8 hours of daylight and 16 of darkness, and in summer you get 16 hours of daylight and 8 hours of darkness.

The 45th runs through the northern United States, putting nearly all of Canada in an even more extreme environment, and runs through the middle of Western Europe and the southern part of Eastern Europe. So it's a very significant portion of the northern hemisphere that is subject to these conditions, both by geography and by population centers.

So, it's not just a few stragglers at the poles or something; it's a major chunk of civilization.

As it happens, not much of the land mass of the southern hemisphere is south of 45S. See https://www.mapsofindia.com/worldmap/latitude-longitude.html , for instance.

Sorry for being imprecise, but I actually meant Standard Time (as in noon at about 12pm). Our circadian rhythms are not as flexible as many people think. There are many studies showing that people sleep less if the sun sets later, causing a net sleep loss with related health problems.

Maybe because its latitude is within the ±30° range from the Equator, hence the no need for DST ?!

Very hard to have good data on something that's this heavily persecuted/prosecuted. Would love to see any sources/studies on it, but it sounds unlikely that a convincing comparison can be produced.

Without comparison wrt. the topic, it's akin to saying "no, of course we don't have a problem with homosexuality in Iran, we hang homosexuals". Of course, any prospective subjects for the comparative study will be very hard to find.
A safer pipeline. It will cost more to build, so the oil will have to be sold at a higher price. This higher price will probably result in reduced consumption of oil.

Well, that and a massive amount of infrastructure spend.
Although not using PJON addresses as IP addresses, PJON has a few strategies that allow a PJON bus to span a Ethernet+WiFi LAN and/or WAN.
I use this in my PJON-based home automation system using clusters of SoftwareBitBang based devices (a bus on a single wire plus ground), linking these clusters together and with the master with routers using the DualUDP strategy over my LAN. PJON is great for cases like this.

It could easily cross the Internet as well but in that case I would recommend using site-to-site VPN commections for security as the PJON traffic is not encrypted (encryption is a little too heavy when running on limited devices like Arduino).

I have shared my PJON-based automation library here for those interested: https://github.com/fredilarsen/ModuleInterface
«the time is the same, but the schedules are different»

I fail to see how this would be worse than China having multiple timezones. A single timezone still makes many things much easier such as alleviating the mental load and software complexity in everything that revolves around cross-country logistics, meetings, travel, etc.

In my personal life, I lost count of the number of times a meeting was delayed or cancelled because of confusion around differing timezones.
We need something like `pledge` from BSD available across all platforms. Would mitigate quite a few of these exploits. Though, shipping good SELinux policy could solve the problem as well, maybe even better.
I wish there was an external usb-c video/stills camera module that would work with smartphones and still fit in your pocket. Something the size of a matchbox. Just the sensor (and maybe fast storage) on the camera module, everything else on the phone - battery, processing, software, display - all on the phone. Would be great if it supported raw stills and video, or at least 10bit h265.

Camera manufacturers can't make competitive software, and usually end up gimping cameras because they have different competing product lines. Just give us an external sensor with either a good fast fixed lens, or a reasonable lens mount, to hook up to a phone/tablet, those do everything else better than a camera. Usb-c has good enough bandwidth and can provide enough power to the external sensor module.

For stills mobile phones with small sensors are already pretty close to DSLR quality, for video it will be a while - the small sensor/pixel size means lots of noise and you can't fix it with multiple exposure averaging like you can with stills. Similarly faking shallow DOF for video is a much harder task than for stills

For every person who enjoys the extra hour of sun in the summer, there's a person who detests an extra hour of darkness in the morning in winter.

And I'll also find you one who doesn't like late sunsets. Some people do not eat dinner prior to sunset.

Living in northern climates, we have the sun setting at 9pm in summer. No one here is going to be impacted if it sets at 8pm.

Personally, the only people I know who like permanent daylight time are those who live in a system where the clock changes. I've lived in and interacted with people in countries where they have permanent standard time, and they never expressed a desire to switch their clocks by one hour permanently. I think those who advocate permanent daylight time are the ones seeking an unnatural solution.

Let's simply acknowledge that everyone has a preference, and there's no objective winner here. Switching to permanent daylight means your location will be out of whack with the concept of time zones. Most of the world either switches their clock or has permanent standard time. Having your locale be permanent daylight will make for really weird global time zone maps, and will break the notion of "if you travel east beyond a certain point, the time zone will shift by one hour."

Fear Driven Development
I think code reviews on teams without architects are awkward. Someone naturally might step up to take on that role, but if there’s no clear decision maker for hard technical choices, then it’s just a bunch of awkward, passive suggestions. And with no clear leadership, it’s hard to resolve disputes. People need to be empowered to do their jobs, but I’ve noticed that on a lot of dev teams that empowerment isn’t explicit. So you end up with the strongest personality being the one that makes important technical decisions or architecture decisions, regardless of whether or not they’re qualified. Personally, I’m not a fan of this approach.
IIRC the flip side is we waste a lot of energy by allocating the hour of sunlight to the morning where many people are still asleep vs. the afternoon when almost everyone is awake and thus needs to turn on lights and heat.
When you work for an international organization DST is doubly annoying.

Four times a year we have 1/4th of our team missing half the meetings:

- When Europe goes to DST, half the Americans don't show up to meetings on European time

- same for when the US goes to DST

- same twice again for the other shift 6 months later

This is to say nothing of every other country's DST shift: we're dominated by US and Europe so everyone else is neglected even worse.

We're not air traffic controllers so it could be worse, but it's enough for me to understand why aviation and most servers go to UTC and stay there.

That may apply to you, but I only drive long distance once every few months. My life would be much improved by a driverless car/service which could go back and forth between my house and the train station. It's a distance of about 4 miles with three roads and two junctions. (We use driven taxis for this at the moment but they're expensive and limited by availability of drivers. Buses would also be good but it appears there isn't sufficient demand to run a regular service at a profit).
I used to kinda believe in the argument that it's too much trouble for users, but now a single-click micropayment seems way easier than all the crap I do to bypass soft paywalls.

(I'm not averse to paying and have a digital subscription to one national newspaper, but paying for thirty newspapers just so I can click on reddit links without hassle seems unreasonable.)
It seems odd to me that instead of changing business and school hours appropriately, we shift our whole concept of time. An hour disappears from one place and appears somewhere else.

I understand the arguments for DST, but it seems like this extremist thing when simpler options exist.
I’m not sure what Google is thinking here, this is an easy win for phishing sites - not just a lifeline but they are going to flourish. It’s also a huge win for all the sites that are just mirrors of other sites, and low quality sites like Pinterest that flood google with links that only work in their app (which I thought was against Google’s TOS but they have condoned Pinterest for years). the only possible upside I see is that it could deal a bow to domain name speculation - what good is a domain if nobody sees it or has to type it? It’s just an dumb indirection mechanism at that point. Though if domains stop being meaningful to humans then that leads right back to phishing and scams. Going to be bad if this isn’t a means to an end we’re not aware of yet.
Companies that work in oil and gas tend to be massive. Seems like the costs of clean up are generally born by the company.
They’re probably referring to the permanent DST during the 70s oil crisis. As I recall it wasn’t repealed but it was for a limited period and Congress didn’t renew.
Depends on the time zone. For some countries in the CET, the summer time actually is closer to the real local time than the standard time. In a year or two the EU countries will have to choose whether to stay on standard or DST. But the net result is just chopping up CET into distinct time zones. Slovenia seems to be in favor of standard time, Croatia prefers DST because more profit in tourism. You can drive through one country in an hour or two, and the other in another few hours, yet they will be 1 hour apart in time. Bonkers if you ask me.

Honestly, tech companies should spend their time building cars for the city. That's where most of the people are and that's where the congestion reduction will benefit the most number of people. Rural areas should be the last to update
> Baby steps. Once the majority of human drivers get off the road we will almost certainly see an evolution in traffic control systems which will allow self driving vehicles to conquer poor weather conditions

That puts the cart before the horse. The cars need to be able to handle weather before “the majority of human drivers get off the road.” In most of the US, not being able to drive in bad weather will make self driving cars a complete non-starter.
Oil is central to our entire economy, impacting not only cars, but electrical generation, materials, transportation.

why? it'll be closer to each camp's arguments for their position 6 months out of the year. so 6 months out of the year each "side" will be miffed, but... they're that way anyway, and we all will save collectively huge amounts of time not bothering to change clocks/schedules/etc. twice a year.
> DST as we have it seems suited to a world that still has a third of the population working outside in the fields. A world where work start time and sunrise were inextricably linked.

I think this origin of DST has been debunked, and it doesn't even make sense. If it were to suit those who worked in the fields, then we would have DST in winter when the sun sets early (4pm here)!

Where I live (heavy farming community), the sun sets at 9pm in summer. Without daylight time it would set at 8pm. A lot of restaurants/businesses close at 9pm. Working the fields till sunset means you don't get to go enjoy your time anywhere after work.

Furthermore, if your work is linked to sunrise and sunset, then having daylight or not is relatively irrelevant. You'll follow the sun no matter what your watch is telling you the time is.
Only if some action happens after reading - assemble an earthquake kit, get CPR certified, join your local CERT.

My own 89 earthquake story is not so traumatic - I walked from downtown to ocean beach along Geary, and all the Irish bars were giving away free beer. Could see the smoke from the Marina but had no idea of the terrible things happening over there.

Is this not considered obfuscation? I thought encyption implies there is a key of some kind to decode the message. This seems like obfuscating binary and translating it at runtime, à la security-through-obscurity.
I think it would indeed be less practical, but also more honest. The sun rises earlier during the summer, and we actually start doing things earlier. The DST system is just hiding this so we do not need to change any schedules, at the expense of having to adjust every clock. It looks to me like most people think this is a good compromise, but I do not think the other option is unreasonable.
Yes: minimize or stop using them. There are alternate search options. The web has very little lock-in (on the user side) compared to say desktop and mobile... make use of that.

While there's a chance the EU might do something about the behavior, I think it's safe to say that here in the US the odds of anything pro-consumer happening anytime soon are effectively nil.
