And the article goes into that:

> All the processes happening in our bodies are co-ordinated by our biological clocks, located in our brains and all other organs. The argument in favour of permanent DST is that there would be more light in the evening. While this is true, we can’t change the number of hours of light in the day. More evening light means less morning light. But importantly, it’s the light in the morning that is most important in resetting our biological clocks. [...] The problem is that we live in societies that force us to get up and go to work or school at times that we don’t get to choose.

> Chronobiologists, the name given to scientists who study biological timing, call this situation “social jet lag,” when the body clock doesn’t match the social clock.

The article is based on physiology and health effects.
Firstly, thanks for your feedback. I really got your point.

Like every field in tech, using this tool has some trade-offs, like you said tests may not be permanent and require hand-written tests. Yet, creating them is easier when you compare with writing tests with coding/hand. Also, this tool can be used as a helper. For instance, getting unique selectors, or creating a test with this tool and then modifying it by hand could be really useful, too.

As a conclusion, according to my developing this kind of tools can really improve and ease the test phase, and can encourage developers to create more tests.

Jetbrains had absolutely fantastic support when I first started using their stuff 10+ years ago. it's kind of sad that the support has gone downhill since then, but on the other hand I don't run into problems as often either.
The Jetbrains buck tracker is not that bad and it is worth registering at because the fact you have found a bug in a JetBrains product suggests you probably are in using it seriously enough to find more soon (there are many), and there are no real alternatives to Idea anyway so you are doomed to keep using it if a text editor or a less smart IDE is not enough for you.

Weirdly enough someone reported a Ubuntu bug I had and I was able to just respond to the email chain with more useful information as to the cause and that was that. I think mailing lists are powerful they just need to be clearer on how to use them and have some tutorial links towards the bottom. Dont ask me how you start a new email chain for a new bug though. I wouldn't know. To be fair I dont remember how I responded initially.

I agree though sometimes I dont bother reporting bugs if its not on GitHub or a system I am already registered for.

By the way, the possible difference between instruction and data address space can have interesting effects.

Amiga programmers, do you remember the (bad) habit of putting data fields directly into the code? Like this fragment:

rts
gfxbase dc.l 0

Imagine now what could happen in the above move.l instruction if the address "gfxbase" is translated differently from the addresses of the instructions :)
> Typical writing of someone so divorced from the real world.

eh? is that a dig at pg?
What frustrates me to no end is that the one thing he is praised for is his "charisma" and ability to motivate people. Perhaps it has to do with the fact that I have some level of Asperger's-ness (e.g. I never really understood rooting for a particular sports team), but I've never found people like this motivational. I've met these types before, and they just sound like smarmy used car salesmen or televangelists to me, and I have a visceral negative reaction to it. Yet I often look around and see other smart people pumped up and excited to act. It's an aspect of human behavior I just don't understand very well.
> This is what, to me, separates the so-so addictions like running from the junkies who will commit violence to avoid withdrawal. There is enough evidence that stuff like gaming, gambling, social media are activating these rewards centers and leading to structural changes in the brain.

This is central to the concept of diagnosing addiction, as well as the colloquial use: it has to be a compulsive behavior whose use negatively and substantially affects your life, which is why running and normal caffeine use don't usually qualify.

I doubt that pg is unaware of this, or indeed anyone who's familiar with the context of addiction, and it's a bizarre leap to say that he's missing it due to being detached from the real world just because he chooses not to focus on it.

I've thought of an idea: The city council could pass a local ordinance similar to GDPR, for companies or public institutions that operate within the city limits.

It could be stripped down to a few bullet points, in order to make it easier to understand. The notable features are the right to know what personal information is being stored, and a right to be forgotten. It should include a provision, that a person can't be compelled to sign away these rights in return for access to public services.

Regarding ethics referenced, it seems “ask forgiveness” has been the legal strategy of the biggest startups of the last 10 years. These were not so much innovation as much as exploitation of an obvious market that was restricted to preserve a public good (residential neighborhoods and streets). I suppose that the ethical way to get around such laws may be open marketplace platforms, such that the profits can only come from choice of technology, and not market control over scarce resources.

I suggest reading "whole home" to mean "whole space". In fact, that's basically what I see on Airbnb now - "Entire place". Personally, I have no issue when that turns out to be a separate apartment in a larger house, as long as I'm not sharing the entrance/exit and living space with others.

There are plenty of alternatives (I primarily use CLion).

The issue is more that it takes more time to log in, load the issue tracker, search to see if it's already there, create a new issue, wait around for a response email, record/send the logs, and then wait to have them tell me they couldn't reproduce the bug.

Just like with Apple I stopped reporting bugs to JetBrains, because with most products I can send an email with reproducible steps and that's the end of it. With them it's a whole process.

And JetBrains, why is the default notification for tracking a bug/feature request sending an email for every person who upvotes it?

I think the difference is that you’d then be an outside consultant, meaning they are consulting you to get your professional recommendations on what they should do to serve their interests best. So inherently they already want your advice and are willing to put it in action.

Whereas an employee of any kind is not usually hired for their outside the box recommendations, but only to put into action decisions already made for them. Thus when one has an innovative idea, the company feels it is in their best interest to doubt your idea and conservatively err on the side of caution, since it’s not what they hired you for and they can’t trust your competence in innovating like that.

In other words, employees are hired to keep the status quo and consultants are hired to decide what the status quo should be for the company’s best interests.

At least, this is the best explanation I can come up with based on what people have said and mingling philosophy. I’ve never worked at a huge corporation so I could be all wrong.

(I have an old Firefox and Chrome add-on, "Ad Limiter", which puts ratings on links based on finding the business behind the site and looking it up.

That's sort-of not true anymore, SCT Inst is a thing and allows transfers between participating banks within seconds around the clock, every day of the year. It's just that some banks don't seem to see the need, and some think it's somehow a premium feature that you can charge for, some even multiple EUR per transaction (outbound, I don't think anyone charges extra for receiving SCT Inst transfers). But then, many banks seem to understand that that is bullshit and offer it at the same price as regular transfers, which for many banks means free of charge for non-businesses.

I can only hope the former will notice that offering ancient technology is not a good way to keep customers.

I never understood this. I've also been suggested Wordpress by a web guy.

The only time I had Wordpress on a pretty basic website I got a notification it had been hacked, while on holiday!

I've been using static websites ever since.

I suspect a lot of the current small Wordpress sites could be just a well and more securely served by some static thing.

Adding a Do Not Send button to the form would be nice so that you could choose not to send back telemetry if you care about that type of thing and you accidentally hit the button.
It is not an extreme position to think that software spying on its users without their consent is rude and inappropriate.
