Ah yes, I forgot an absolute monarchy is exactly the same as a parliamentary democracy operating within a constitutional monarchy.

I also forgot that if you think Queen Elizabeth II could be considered a tourist attraction in England you also have to think that public hangings are great and that Salman of Saudi Arabia is also a total babe.

What a silly comparison.

I think most people call it Frisian. West-Frisian is used formally because other (mostly historic) variants exist.

What is now the province of Frisia is only a modest part of what was once a larger kingdom stretching into the North-East of modern Germany (where Ost Friesland is the name of a region in Niedersachsen still). Confusingly, in the Netherlands there is a West-Friesland as well to the West of the province, but people don't speak or understand (West-)Frisian there.

It will not happen. The science is overwhelming that having one timezone all year long is worse for people, and switching the clock back and forth twice a years is a minor nuisance at most.

The EU's "Ban DST" is the same populist bullshit as Trumps "inject Windex to cure COVID". Based on nothing and ignorant at best.

And the cherry on top is, if you ask the EU if they want to receive a no strings attached gift of €10.000.000.000.000 or €11.000.000.000.000, it would still take them 20 years to decide. No way they will ever reach consensus on DST.

I think you yourself don't realise that not everyone in the Netherlands cares about speed skating and the Elfstedentocht.

I'm Dutch. Early twenties. I go roller blading in the summer, and I speed skate in the winter if weather permits.

But the Elfstedentocht? It has never taken place during my life. My friends and I don't care about the Elfstedentocht at all because we've simply never experienced it. We don't get the "Elfstedentochtkoorts" whenever the mercury drops below 0. Not at all.

I bet the average young person from Rotterdam cares a whole lot more about Feyenoord and the Dutch football team than they care about some 200km speed skating contest that very rarely takes place in a province in the north.
I've never had issues with gmail, though I know a few people who did. But I think setting up SPF and DKIM will, for the most part, do the trick to allow communicating with gmail users.

The problem is the other provider. Yahoo, AOL, Microsoft. They're all a pain in the neck and much, much stricter. And sadly, they still amount to a not insignificant portion of the market.

There are so many stories of Senna and Prost, maybe what seprated them was the level of commitment to win regardless of the cost.

People talk Prost down but, he was staggeringly good. He once said that he didn't like using kerbs, when other drivers would be smashing off them and gain time he would avoid them on purpose to see if he could be as quick without. He also said that he thought sliding around was boring, it is far more intersting to see how quick you can go by being smooth. He once said that he didn't care if people over took him as he always knew he could overtake them back. Testing for the 93 season Prost on his comeback was driving around 2.5 seconds off the pace. His team were really worried... Come the first race he puts the car on pole.

There are so many of these stories. Can you imagine Senna giving up any advantage to win?
Yeah if you've gone through the trouble to learn vim you're probably okay with tweaking some shell defaults as well. If you're not comfortable in the shell at all it's much better to get tossed into nano than it is vim.

New Year's resolutions are personal goals that we set at the start of each year. But why do we make New Year's resolutions? Well, for many, the new calendar year ushers in a sense of renewal and hope. It's a time to take stock of who we are and the way we live and resolve to improve ourselves.

The closer one is to the poles, the more the number of hours of daylight shifts over the seasons.

So at/near the equator, in a place like Panama, you will get roughly 12 hours of daylight in both the December and June Solstices.

Whereas in the Edinburgh you go from having 7 hours of daylight in December to over 17 hours in June:

So people want those 7 hours to be when it's most convenient for them.

I started seeing the association between caffeine, jitters and anxiety now that I am in my early thirties. Like you, I enjoyed many years of symptom free caffeine "indulgence". I've switched to enjoying decaf brewed at home with beans that have been decaffeinated using the Swiss Water Method, which removes 99.9% of the caffeine by soaking the green coffee beans in an extract of green coffee + water minus the caffeine - the caffeine diffuses out without the use of solvents! I do agree that most decaf tends to not taste the same at most cafes, because decaf beans tend to sit around longer that regular beans.. sometimes even pre-ground (the horror). I've fell in love in coffee again, and I'm looking into getting a Kafatek Monolith and a linea mini for the home, but if you are getting rid of any espresso equipment at fire sale prices, let me know ;)

Are there really places that don't observe DST and also don't change their working hours? Just shift the working hours by a few hours when the seasons change. It also gives more granularity for the changes. If 1 week in the whole season is particularly cold, then change the time again for that 1 week.
The point is that they have those things already, so it's harder for a would-be corrupter to tempt them that way.

The question is: will it be possible to use facebook and firebase sdk's without the opt-in consent, provided that no use of the idfa is made? My understanding is that as long as the opt-in popup isn't shown, the device won't allow access to the idfa, and as such the sdk you're using does not matter. Both facebook and firebase's sdks seem to have fallbacks in place for when the idfa is not available.

This is to be taken with a grain of salt, and I'd love to see somebody more savvy on the matter confirm this...
I've had to limit myself to 15g of beans in the morning and 10g after lunch. (And often these days I'll have a cup of black tea at lunch instead.) I'd love to have more, because I enjoy the smell and flavor, but it disrupts my sleep too much.

It's not just timezones names that are bullshit (they are!), the whole calendar is dumb.

Ideally the world should switch to an "earth calendar" where the year begins on the shortest day (currently Dec 21st for 90% of the population) and there are four yearly planet-wide holidays:

1. northern solstice

2. southern solstice

3. northward equinox

4. southward equinox

While we are at it, we could also do something more clever than months, weeks and the time system. 24/60/60 is a pain.
For years the data brokerage industry has been completely broken. Over $200 Billion dollars of data is exchanged each year in an unfair and non-transparent way. But, consumers who are actually driving the industry do not share in the profit. Simultaneously, they experience many negative consequences as a result.

There’s a famous saying “if you're not paying for the product, you are the product" which rings true now more than ever.

Social media networks are centralized and controlled by big tech. There’s a rapid rise in the censorship of free speech and personal privacy invasions of the people by abusive authorities. While billions of advertising dollars are paid directly to centralized social media networks for targeting uncompensated users who are being auctioned off.

Instars.com is proud to announce its entering the next phase of it's beta, and launching as a feature complete, decentralized social networking platform, with built in ad targeting, survey targeting, polls, verified blockchain wallet accounts, and most importantly, decentralized login management.

What got debunked? Videos were fake or some mental gymnastics about how it was justified and there was actually nothing wrong with poll observers having to observe the process from behind the barriers 30 feet away?

This is what CBS says:

> Claim: "In Philadelphia, observers have been kept far away — so far that people are using binoculars to try and see — and there's been tremendous problems caused. They put paper on all of the windows so you can't see in."

> Rating: Somewhat true

> The Philadelphia Inquirer did photograph an unidentified poll watcher using binoculars while workers can be seen in the background counting ballots inside the Pennsylvania Convention Center. But it's unclear how far away the observer was from the vote-counters, and the photo is dated November 3, Election Day.

By the way CBS, great job on your fact-checks. It's not "unclear", there is literally a video of it where it's crystal clear how far away the observers were. "Somewhat" true, jesus christ.

For once pretty much no one is aware of this supposed change. There was like a couple of articles on the day it was voted and that's it.

This will 100% not happen, it's another one of those things that the EU parliament votes that everyone ignores, and it's perfect ammunition for those complaining that it makes laws without popular consultation.

Trying to go forward with this change will generate massive anti EU backlash.

And then you have the UK problem. Having variable time offsets between EU and UK would add yet another layer of disruption on top of Brexit.

It's an interesting perspective; that the real novelty wasn't people interacting with remote software (mainframe timesharing already did this), but remote software-to-software interaction. I hadn't thought of it like that before.
The infuriating thing is that our solution to this is to change the clock instead of just changing our schedules. It's completely ridiculous.
This doesn't explain the fact it was only applied to one business. If it was a simple keyword matcher banning sites that use words on the naughty list then at least it would be fair and equitable stupidity.

For the same reason that work from home turns out to be viable for a huge number of people, and the main reason office's are as big as they are is because middle managers don't believe work happens if they don't watch someone sit in an office chair.

There's no possible way businesses are going to adjust their hours twice yearly to let employees get more sunshine, but DST does that effectively by ensuring official timekeeping gets moved about on them.
Mozilla also played a big part in this foundation being necessary after it laid off most of its employees involved in Rust last year. The foundation is a good idea of course, but they could have handled it better, e.g. setting up the foundation first, so that the Rust developers could transition to it without the disturbance and bad PR generated by the layoffs? It's not that Mozilla is so cash-strapped that it had to get rid of them immediately (at least not as far as I know)? Or was this the kind of drastic action some parents have to take in order to get their kids to finally move out?

Pulling packages down at build time seems ludicrous to me, I can understand it in a development environment, but I don't understand how "Pull packages from the public internet and put them into our production codebase" past any kind of robustness scrutiny.

I honestly hope this comes from using some accessibility tool like dictation software. Otherwise it’s honestly a childish thing to do - and in that case I fully expect the retort will be something like “I know people complaining about this are just pedantics, I use it as a filter to decide who I should pay attention to”. I’ve seen similar attitudes before. Occasionally someone will hide behind dyslexia, which begs some questions, but I just don’t have the medical training required to assess the veracity of such claims.

Also, trying to evangelize a tool while being a weirdo is not going to help your case.
During the throttling wars, I seem to remember hearing somewhere that ISPs recognize speedtest.net runs and optimize for them, while also throttling competing content providers like NF. That is why fast.com was built: if ISPs throttle Netflix, they'll also be throttling fast.com so it will be reflected there.

The EU is currently one timezone for most of its area, the whole continent excluding Portugal (edit: and Finland, Greece, Baltic states) has the same timezone. But actually it should be 3 or 4 timezones if you want to be close to solar time. Also, there are people who would prefer having solar zone time +1 (so e.g. UTC+2 in Germany instead of UTC+1). The EU decided to chicken out and let the members decide for themselves. So now each country has to decide which timezone it would like to implement, and of course if a neighbour does it differently, you also got yourself a timezone boundary at your border, which people dislike. So now all the politicians are caught in a state of indecision, keeping the status quo.

In some cases, storing times in UTC opens you up to possible errors:

https://codeofmatt.com/on-the-timing-of-time-zone-changes/

I think the right thing is to store times with the timezone the user wanted when they created the time. You can often use defaults or other UX niceties to streamline specifying TZ, but not always.

Also, if you'll want to unambiguously know the timestamp's exact point in time at some point (like for comparison with other dayetimes), you should save the offset from UTC alongside the actual datetime. Otherwise, around clock changes like "fall back" you cannot tell if you're seeing 2 AM for the first or second time.

This is the best I've come to trying to piece datetime storage together. If someone has better advice, I'd love to hear it.

For more of my theory on timezone handling and the sources I've used to help me think it through, see http://howicode.nateeag.com/dates-and-times.html .
