My 6yo loves Minecraft. The servers and YouTube videos are consistently on topic. Not too hard to keep an eye on.

When I looked into Roblox last year, the top YouTube results were how to make super sexualized clothing and innuendo. Skip.

Apple just doesn't care if you're not using a ProDisplay XDR.

Quite a few would pick cancer and the record. Top athletes do all kinds of terrible damage to themselves even without the assistance of illegal drugs. Top cyclists have to wear heart rate monitors that wake them up when their heart rates get too low because their training makes their hearts so efficient that when they rest, the heart rate can get too low to be sustained. Top cyclists dying in their sleep happens far more frequently than it does for random selections of the general population. To combat this, an alarm wakes them up so they can exercise to get their heart rate up. Even knowing this, cyclists will train themselves at a level that ends up creating this condition.
This is a natural consequence of too-big-to-fail. Boeing needs to be broken up.
Hidden scrollbars are cancer. Me, as a developer, using computers pretty much at least 8 hours per day still struggle with finding that god-damn scrollbar several times per week!

Time zone updates happen all the time. The latest version was released in January: https://www.iana.org/time-zones
I wonder what your preferred answer would be to these hypothetical children that noticed the sun's location at noon is not 'at the top of the sky' for half the year already.

And where do you live such that the sun is at the 'top of the sky' at noon?

Timezones aside (which basically average out an arbitrary time for the 1/24th of the planet you are standing in) there's the 23.5 degree axis, which means there's nowhere on the planet where the sun is at the 'top of the sky' all year.
I also tried various 3rd party clients and would always end up going back to gmail's app. My dad kept recommending Spark to me and I just didn't have the energy to try another 3rd party app. I eventually gave in and tried Spark and I haven't gone back to Gmail since. That was about 18 months ago.
Why are we making DST permanent rather than making the standard time permanent?
I don't quite disagree, but yet I do. A toolbox organizes your tools so you know exactly where they are (and take much less space). You may not see the tools, but each drawer may have a label (should you choose to slap one on) fully visible at any time. That they are not transparent is an effect of their material. A transparent toolbox seems like it would be more difficult to construct with the same strength and the same inexpense.

Alternatively, let both parents work, have careers, and be theoretically capable of supporting themselves independently, and also reduce the minimum number of hours people are expected to work in a week in order for it to count as a "real" job, so that both parents are also able to spend adequate time with their families.

I'd like to see some change, but I'm not sure that just going back to some version of how it was done when my generation was young necessarily counts as progress.
> any math constructions brought in should be checked against the physical reality

But that's not how things work in practice. Parts of the mathematical framework used for describing a particular physical phenomenon are always a kind of mental scaffolding and do not have a direct representation in reality. This is how math always works in science. Think of the complex numbers, for example: they are used extensively in quantum physics and electrical engineering, but that does not mean that you can see them, touch them or measure them.
Let's take it one step farther, and have each second be 99.999% of a second from December 20 and June 20, and be 100.001% of a second from June 20 to December 20. Problem solved!

"krai" also means area, territory, not just border. The meaning "borderland" is a Russian derogatory narrative, very hypocritical btw.
> There's no payoff for a pyramid scheme. They just pile money somewhere, without actually doing anything with it.

Agreed, the stock market is not a pyramid scheme. I only used pyramid scheme as an example for a scammer’s rhetoric. However it still looks like a scam to me (albeit not as bad of a scam as the average pyramid scheme is).

Having worked for a company which increased in share prices exponentially while I worked there on minimum wage, I cannot agree with the statement that the shareholder/worker relationship made “everyone who participated richer”. The average worker certainly didn’t. The only people that got richer were the shareholders (and perhaps some contractors). I experienced this exponential growth as a scam. The value of my work was being extracted into rich people’s pockets.

See the stock market might look to an outsider as an arrangement where everyone benefits, but to a worker it always looks like a scam. Especially when you consider an alternate arrangement where the shareholder returns control of the profits of the company back to the workers after they’ve made up the money they gave originally to the business plus some fees and interest. The very fact that the shareholders keep control even after they’ve made their fare share of the profits, multiple times over, is what makes this look like a scam in the eyes of the workers.
Rule of thumb for claim evaluation: if it's not necessary to elaborate or speculate about something, it's not necessary to announce it either.

I almost always read the comments first, to gauge whether the subject matter interests me.

I'll always read the article first before contributing comments, unless I see a comment sub thread on an unrelated matter that I might have experience in.
The name of a particular hour has ZERO connection to that hour's use. You body doesn't know if an hour is called noon or 5:00. It only cares in relation to the position of the sun and the length of the daylight hours.

If people stay on DST and it turns out that starting the day an hour later is more beneficial, then life will simply gradually adjust.
In Hawai'i time only goes in one direction and it makes life easier.
But my view at this point in my life is that SQL is SO not a simple language, that any and all ORMs are going to be way too restrictive and leaky. There's all kinds of weird crap that SQL does when it comes to nulls, empty strings, falsey/truthy things, dates as numbers or strings, etc. And that's not even thinking about unions, stored procedures, weird types of joins, etc.

My current comfort zone is if I can find a query builder that has enough static typing that it has all of the keywords of my preferred SQL flavor, has prepared statements with placeholders- mainly for safety/security, and basically returns a string when you're done.

At least then I'm just dealing with SQL instead of figuring out Hibernate's arcane caching feature or why in the FUCKING FUCK JDBC will return a `0` if a column was an int value that was `null` in the result set. IT WAS NULL- GIVE ME NULL.
For the simple reason that we want to present to the user only the information that is necessary for them to accomplish their immediate goal, and nothing more.

If you aren't scrolling, then the scrollbar provides little information in proportion to the amount of space it consumes. If you are scrolling, then the scrollbar is very important and it gets displayed. If you want to know where in a document you are, our experience is that users tend to already have a good idea of where in a document they are based on multiple cues including the fact that they are likely the ones who positioned themselves to that point in the document already. In the very rare moments where they need that cue, they can move their mouse (scrollbar appears when the mouse moves).

As screens are a finite resource, by minimizing information that isn't necessary towards accomplishing a goal, we can maximize the information that is.
The Mac's hidden scroll bar is normally quite usable in Safari and Firefox, when you move the cursor to the side and start scrolling, it'll automatically pop up, with a thick bar that you can hold on to with the pointing device. That is, unless you are trying to figure out the exact behavior on Chrome or some Electron app, which is half the most used desktop apps on the macOS these days, and took you a while to figure it's actually a bug in Chrome.

I'm not so sure college has gone up in price, all things considered. The sticker price is much higher, but people aren't usually paying sticker price.

Discounts (scholarships) are much more available.

Stuff like dual-enrollment has spread across the country.

AP is now widely available.
If they both want to work, then child care should be affordable for the dual income family. Generally it's not which is why schools are required to fill that care gap and be in sync with working hours.

Not really. They have a strong financial interest to have as many eyeballs as possible watching YouTube, because only then can they show ads.

I don't see how breaking YouTube for a portion of the world population is a sensible part of that plan.
737 Max fiasco was the first thing that actually made me look at which plane I might be flying on when booking tickets outside of the flights on the Airbus A380.

Benefits are highly regional. Where I live, the current latest sunrise is 8:06 am on December 5. I can't imagine a sunrise after 9am being very fun.
Dual-income households were always a thing, even in the most gender-restrictive days of the 1950s. The idea that one male breadwinner would provide for a whole household was always an upper-middle-class fantasy.

What do you mean by this part?
This happened in 2005 when the federal government changed the start & end dates of DST. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_Policy_Act_of_2005#Chan...
> It helps with circadian rhythms. I seem to post this for every DST story, so I might as well continue the tradition:

All these arguments against a timezone change, removing the shifting to/from DST, etc are predicated on the assumption that the times that schools, work places, restaurants, public amenities, etc open and close through the year are not allowed to change.

This seems to be a surreptitious strawman argument against TZ/DST changes, as there's no legal or regulatory reasons to prevent any of these institutions changing their hours of operation.

> having kids communally shower at school is seemingly something that is rightfully being phased out.

For a sports team, that seems silly.

Most sports have enough weird contact that the showers are probably the least of the problems.

Now, if you want to argue that sports, in general, and school should be separate, I'm all ears.
Some states, like Washington, have already introduced permanent DST. The only thing they lack is federal permission to stay on DST. States can already permanently stay on non-DST time, like most of AZ does.
The captured models in the videos look really amazing. Wow!
Well, livestock agriculture is one of the biggest contributors to climate change, so taking their poop also doesn't make sense since we need to do away with livestock completely.

Don't get me wrong, I think it's good that people are working on CO2 sequestration, but I just get triggered if I read something like "carbon negative trucks" which just is 101 greenwashing and gaslighting.
Well, maybe, but many parents would probably both work anyways because they would be competing with other dual income family units for housing, schooling and other cost intensive resources.
The TdF has many iconic sections, mostly climbs, some time trials. They don't change often. Times are compared from year to year not over the entire 21-day race, but section by section.
Sorry, I should've phrased it better.

Local as in your home/office. While your application may run in AWS or whatever remote server, its necessary to have copies of your data that you can physically touch and access.

One main deployment, one remote backup and one onsite physically accessible backup.
Looks like Tai Lopez and Grant Cardone got into the enterprise-grade security business.
Nah, it'd be "trivial" (in the way that generates employment for programmers, win-win) for your cell phone and computer to adjust automatically. You might be able to just get the NTP servers to make the adjustment daily and everyone else would just follow along without knowing it. Fancier wall clocks, too.

If you've got a fancy watch, just go get its movement adjusted to run 10 seconds slow. Full employment for watchmakers too, it's a shovel-ready proposal!
Agreed. I bet a lot of places would simply switch timezones if DST was removed.
Great recommendation - just picked up the audio version.
Yeah, that would be nice to have.
This is in keeping with the style of the original Unix utilities.

Having a handful of global variables reduces the amount of stuff being passed around from function to function; utilities don't need to worry too much about free()ing dynamic allocations, since that gets cleaned up on exit anyways; none of the code has to be re-entrant, because each invocation of the utility is running in its own process.
I'm puzzled by this, too. But I think Willison (the linked tweeter) is complaining about a web-specific manifestation of this, when a web page has a sub-section that needs to scroll independently of the larger page that it's contained within. (The list of messages in Gmail is a good example of when this is useful.) Having said that, though, I'm not actually sure under what conditions his lack of scrollbar is occurring. Personally, I've noticed this can be more of an issue on iOS devices, where sometimes the contents of a <div> are meant to be scrolled, but it's almost entirely nondiscoverable due to iOS's lack of scrollbars.
The A380 has not had a single incident.
He probably wanted to fly on that aircraft so he specifically looked for a flight with that plane?
The density of water is also temperature-dependent :)

My point is that the chain of determining the measurement of a natural value should start at the value, not at what we want it to be to then bend the value over backwards to be that then.

So the example doesn't fall apart with a temperature-/moisture-dependent constant:

The point is that the constant should not be arbitrarily changed to achieve a desired value. The constant should be measured/defined and stay as such.
Guessing: he wanted to fly on the A380, because it's an awesome experience if you're above average interested in planes. Opposite sign of the attention given to the 737max, in other words.

Wow, HN is full of assholes!

But, why you ask? Because I made a funny joke based on comment that is inaccurate? Testing Youtube with a space in the search box yielded expected results, a space was entered.

Yet, I receive 4 downvotes for no reason, other than someone has them to use. Which makes this fucking place an echo chamber full of assholes.

Now you have a reason to downvote me!
No, it doesn't matter. Where I live, the time the sun is at its highest varies from 11:53 to 13:18 and at no time in the history of my city (I checked all the records) has a child ever asked why the sun isn't directly overhead precisely at noon.

I'm guessing he means he'd prefer to fly on the A380.
There's a bit of a math problem there, though. It's hard to make things work out so that the child care is affordable for the parents, the teachers get reasonable compensation, and you're meeting reasonable (and, depending on where you are, legal) standards for child-caregiver ratios.

Doubly so if "affordable for the parents" means "affordable for parents who are in the same income bracket as your average pre school teacher."

> > "I'm all for 'don't attribute to malice what can be explained by incompetence' but I don't believe Google is that incompetent. I think they were running out the clock. We lost users during every oops.

I see the third option here besides malice and incompetence: indifference. I don't think they really aiming to eradicate Firefox, the last few % of users do not matter that much. But they certainly do seem to be indifferent about the experience of those users.
All over the place. When I was in school, the same buses that serviced the high schools also serviced the elementary schools. So the high school students would get picked up, and then the elementary kids would be next after that.
Re cons, we already have tzdata with all irregularities like DSTs and leap seconds built in. I believe that it wouldn’t be so hard for libraries who already use tzdata. And those who don’t, they couldn’t handle time intervals properly anyway.
Sorry, I said good faith explanation, but I meant good faith guess.

I want you to explain what "Hong Kong destroyed" might mean when I say it because if we're not speaking the same language then we can't hope to see eye to eye. Clearly the city is still standing filled with people who aren't dead. Clearly it's not "destroyed" in that way.

I want you to guess why I would say it, which means brainstorming potential ideas. In good faith means taking those potential ideas and evaluating them yourself, if you don't find them remotely compelling, chances are I won't either. To say or think I believe something that isn't at the very least plausible to you is bad faith.

You accused me of potentially "parroting knee jerk opinions," which I interpret as meaning you cannot imagine why a functioning person capable of critical thinking might believe it or say it.

I will start by explaining why I think someone might find the statement "Hong Kong has been destroyed" spurious: Hong Kong is clearly still standing and the day to day life of a person in Hong Kong probably isn't significantly different than it was 2-4 years ago, businesses still function, people can still feed themselves, I doubt there is military in the streets, the average person can probably still say what they want. If the day to day life of a person isn't really that different, then it's kind of hard to argue that there has been a fundamental change, much less a "destruction."
You don't need a plugin for that, it works out of the box.

Is changing the definition of the hours the best way to solve this problem though? It seems tangentially related at best.
I'm not sure if this would introduce more or less bugs in software. It would at least make this Google Cloud SQL for MySQL issue less annoying. They don't support tz_info, so you have to manually adjust for DST offsets. Guess what I'm doing this weekend at 2/3am PDT/PST?

A380 is a great plane, very fun to fly on. Too bad they're being grounded on most airlines for the foreseeable future due to their economics.
I don't know why people call Madoff's scheme or Enron bubbles. People acted quite rationally given they believed these companies were not completely fabricating their accounting.

Once it was found out what they were doing, the market acted rationally again, but dumping their value to zero.

New Algorithm Generates Synthetic Human Genetic Code
"We’ve seen AI algorithms create mostly-believable pictures of people’s headshots, works of art, news articles, and even pokémon. But now a team of scientists is taking things a step further, with an algorithm to generate the entire genetic code of nonexistent people.

Using a type of AI called a Generative Adversarial Network (GAN), in which two algorithms rapidly generate some sort of output, check their work against real-world examples, and refine things as they go, the team has managed to replicate realistic human genomes that they say are indistinguishable from the real thing, according to research first spotted by The Next Web."
