but since we are on the topic, i totally understand OP posting on reddit. i have given up giving feedback to big tech websites and apps. i don't know where to enter that feedback, and when i do, i am not sure they value any of it.

nowadays, one has to take it to the socials.

and since it has come to sharing our miseries on the socials in order to be heard: if anyone, by any chance, from amazon is reading this, sorting wish lists has been broken for many weeks now.
It's a great idea, and would work fine for younger kids. High school kids with after-school jobs and sports might find a conflict, though.

I'm in the camp of "seriously, fuck high school sports" because entire districts bend their will and finances to support football programs (other sports? what other sports?) to the detriment of everyone else in the school.

But that POV is spitting into the wind. And god help you if you're in a smaller area where high school sports are the entire social center of the community.
MDN uses a hierarchical structure—a mistake that should have been corrected 10 years ago—and it's awful.

> When is the last time you just jumped onto the Wikipedia homepage and found your way to the information you wanted?

Literally every day. If you haven't done this, the only explanation is that you haven't tried. Wikipedia's built-in search is fine (and also completely unnecessary more often than not, since you can guess most page titles and their URLs). In fact, I've had my browser's default search engine set to Wikipedia for probably 10 years now. If I want to Google something, it's either because I've already hit the Wikipedia article and it was wanting, or it's because I'm looking for something different in nature.

The claim that Wikipedia is junk without Google is itself junk.
What are you talking about. Everyone praises a guy who stays late basically regardless of when he came in. No one praises dude that comes in soon.
I'm no expert in the X11 codebase, but I have lots of respect for the guys who were working on it at the time the Wayland direction was undertaken. So I don't feel in a position to second guess their opinion or tremendous contributions, especially since it has led to a much better experience than I ever had with X.

In some events (including top-level marathons like London or Berlin) pacing is legal as long as the pacer is themselves entered in the race. Historically records wouldn't count if the pacer didn't finish, but I don't think that's still the case.

For instance, in Roger Bannister's record-breaking four-minute mile run, Chris Brasher and Christopher Chataway acted as pacers. According to a prearranged plan, Brasher led the first two laps, then dropped back (and finished last). Chataway then led, until Bannister kicked with just over half a lap to go.

Counterintuitively, I believe increased sunshine is more associated with depression and suicide than decreasing amounts of it. Suicides are higher in the spring and early summer than in the fall and winter. It's speculated that the increasing light may screw with sleep patterns more than decreasing amounts of light. Not claiming to understand it, but studies in multiple countries across the hemispheres seem to show the same pattern.
And if it's functionally impossible for the overwhelming majority of employed adults who are parents to meet those schedules due to school times being shifted... businesses will either adapt their schedules to meet the new reality or they'll fire 75%+ of their staff.

To me this is analogous to the incredibly common practice of applying scanned grain from 16mm or 35mm film stock in digital cinematography workflows, making the result “feel” more like film — or our expectations and perceptions of cinema. Sometimes high fidelity media isn’t what we really want.
This is a great thought — I have a similar response around the challenges with picking up the captured CO2 from such a decentralized network of capturing devices, but definitely something we'll explore down the line.

Did you know that DST is 2/3 of the year? If we're going to remove something, we should extend DST to 100%, not shrink it from 65% to 0%.

Surely you're joking. Privilege separation [1] is a thing for a reason.

If we believed that putting different things into the same address space made them more secure, then why stop there? Why not just put the kernel, the shell, X11, your HTTP server, and everything else into the same address space? Let's just do away with processes -- let all schedulable units be threads that can all read and write to each other's memory, because what could possibly go wrong? /s

There is a public API, and yeah many gambling sites use it as a reference when paying out stakes. They sometimes even screenshot from it - and punters tag me because the bookmaker messed up (for example, including qualifiers in a specific tournament market).
It's because Twitter is (rightfully) willing to moderate this kind of content, whereas Parler explicitly refuses to. Apple doesn't want platforms that refuse to moderate Nazi content in the App Store - it is not selective enforcement, it is Parler being willingly obstinate and affirming itself as a home to the alt-right.
It would be quite annoying to have your clock off a minute every week. The first couple weeks wouldn't be too big of an issue, but when you start getting 10 minutes off you would need to fix your clock.

It's also unclear just how much IFTTT influenced that start of Zapier. IFTTT was announced only about 10 months earlier than Zapier. Zapier announced right around when IFTTT has a live prototype. REST APIs were really hitting popularity at that point, so services like these were becoming more & more obvious-- simultaneous invention is a thing. [0] Also, years earlier, there had been a relatively similar offering from Yahoo, Yahoo Pipes, [1] so the idea was pretty much out there before both of these companies. The rise of REST APIs really just made it much more feasible.

I ran into this this morning and I’m floored that it’s not just me.

I like JavaScript, I develop in it daily. This is too much. Your JavaScript shouldn’t be messing with a field so intensely that it disrupts usage like this.

Also, how did this slip past internal automated tests? How did it slip past manual tests?
Here is another one: I'm so annoyed that the paste button doesn't appear on the keyboard after copying a text. That seems like an obvious feature to me. Something recently added to the clipboard? Show the paste button on top of the keyboard.
I don’t know, I think wikis work great. It’s just that writing docs is a lot of work, and like people mentioned here, info decays.

People do without internal docs for the same reason they ship without tests, Pareto principle. And writing is hard work, especially if it’s meant for other people to read.

Cheap, good, and done. Pick 2.

It’s people who don’t keep expectations realistic that wind up going crazy in this industry.

If you want your company to keep nice internal docs, you can’t be cheap. You’ll have to extend deadlines. You have to tell people: I’ll have to add another week for docs and such. Usually, it’s not worth to even bring it up. Why rock the boat?

There’s also the question of how much value they bring, usually not much.
It helps with circadian rhythms. I seem to post this for every DST story, so I might as well continue the tradition:

The folks who study this:

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronobiology

Seem to have come to a consensus that if we're going to get rid of DST, then health-wise it is best to have Standard Time year-round:

> As an international organization of scientists dedicated to studying circadian and other biological rhythms, the Society for Research on Biological Rhythms (SRBR) engaged experts in the field to write a Position Paper on the consequences of choosing to live on DST or Standard Time (ST). The authors take the position that, based on comparisons of large populations living in DST or ST or on western versus eastern edges of time zones, the advantages of permanent ST outweigh switching to DST annually or permanently.

* https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/07487304198541...

For a longer-read, referencing quite a bit of academic literature, but a conclusionary snippet:

> In summary, the scientific literature strongly argues against the switching between DST and Standard Time and even more so against adopting DST permanently. The latter would exaggerate all the effects described above /beyond/ the simple extension of DST from approximately 8 months/year to 12 months/year (depending on country) since /body clocks/ are generally even later during winter than during the long photoperiods of summer (with DST) (Kantermann et al., 2007; Hadlow et al., 2014, 2018; Hashizaki et al., 2018). Perennial DST increases SJL prevalence even more, as described above.

If the FAANG companies started recruiting on ability to communicate in spoken and written English, there'd be a cottage industry in making sure developers weren't functionally illiterate.
We wanted to start by building a low-cost, modular device that we can retrofit onto existing semi trucks, since that's much easier than retrofitting onto a cargo ship or other boat. But we definitely hope to expand to mining haul trucks, locomotives, cargo ships and other bigger forms of long-haul transport down the line!
Not entirely sure what that exactly that would mean either.
Still, I'll take all DST over switching twice a year.
I usually start with the comments. So many sites are dumpster fires of ads and/or trivial observations stretched out into blog-length essays. I want to know if the article will be worth my time/hassle before clicking through.

If I'm replying to a comment that isn't directly about the article, I may not read the article first. If I'm making a comment about the article, I read it carefully. But I don't often comment about the article. :-)
> That's completely missing the point of the exercise

No it's not, you're just too invested in your example to realize there is no point to the exercise you proposed. A model where up to 90% of data (the "unexperienced" part of your life depending on age) is imagined and by definition inaccurate can't be used for any determination.

> The point of the exercise is to figure out what you want in life now

That's the point of the exercise you proposed, very different from a deathbed perspective, and one I believe couldn't work as described.

The deathbed perspective is an exercise of taking your entire life experiences and distilling them to get a concrete core as seen from the "final checkpoint". The key is knowing that there will be no future experiences to alter the result, and that makes the determination as final and as accurate as it can ever reasonably be. It's not a decision making tool, it can't be used to alter the future. It's a conclusion, a punchline.

But if you want to see what's important now that's a decision, a seed for your future, and it's open to change and evolution. This cannot be more different from a real deathbed perspective. So taking this decision by imagining one of infinite possibilities of your future up to your distant deathbed makes no sense. Your subjectivity will lead you into imagining a completely different future every time, and getting a different perspective and decision.

That girl you like? Deciding she's "what you want now" is just a matter of imagining a future deathbed where she was key to your life happiness. Or maybe it's that job... Or something else entirely. When you're 20 or 30 your "old age" deathbed could have you a billionaire, homeless, or anything you can imagine. An imagined, relatively random, and distant future outcome can't help you decide what's best in the present more than flipping a coin will.

At best you can imagine you are now on your deathbed and go through the exercise to take a decision as if it were the conclusion. I still think it's pointless because imagining you're on your deathbed is like imagining a new color.

This wouldn also imply return to same domestic violence rates as used to be, because half population would be dependent again with no power to change own situation. Even currently the rates of it goes up and down with who is getting jobs.

Also, there are other reasons why the situation you desribes as ideal sparked the protests back then - for many people ir was unhappy unsatisfying sitiation.
Deep down, he did realize that changing the clocks doesn’t change the amount of daylight..right?
Germany has a wealth of minor providers, thanks to the MVNO system. No reason whatsoever to be on a major cell provider when a small one is fraction of the price and cancellable monthly instead of yearly.
Gear everybody up to split the difference and at one point, push the time either 30 minutes forward or back, and be done with it, forever. Give everyone... 18 months to prepare.
well, it's largely automated now days.. I think my stove clock (aka the power outage event recorder) is the only clock I manually adjust these days.
Just to expand on a few points:

Transactions getting stuck because of gas prices spiking: This was one of the main drivers of the 1559 improvement proposal which was recently accepted for the summer upgrade. Hopefully it fixes the UX around transactions and estimating gas fees.

On demand for blockspace: as the linked interview goes into, scalability has been the main point of research for the past 5 years and has come on remarkably, we should hopefully see improvements over the next few months and the rest of the year leading up to pos.

On making things more expensive than they should be: the goal is always make it as cheap as possible whilst maintaining security. Now, you may not value that security of the ledger, but others do. It will be cheaper than it is use right now, but it will always cost more than mysql. Some people value that, others don't. I would argue the constant demand for blockspace (and so the high prices) show pretty clearly there is significant demand for that security.

The decentralisation is about resilience of the system, security of the information, and transparency (but not surveillance). We cant fix money and centralised forces of money and power overnight (through id argue theres a decent number of ethereum devs working on projects around UBI etc) but we can try create systems that allow people to work together with infrastructure they know wont be pulled out from under them when they need it. There are payment networks for sex workers who get relentlessly hassled and accounts blocked by banks, there are ubi scripts that you can adapt for your own community, there are quadratic funding mechanisms that can help us fund public goods. Beyond the stigma of the hype-moon-kids hustling money and crypto-scammers that seems to get most of the media attention, there is good work being done to actually help people. CryptoKitties is silly, but it proved something. the nft hype is a bit silly now, but it is creating interesting royalty and distribution ideas that allow me to e.g. sell my music without needing a stripe account and a bank account either of which could decide they dont want we anymore and screw me over. That is valuable to me.
Being completely dependent on another to be able to live your life can lead to all kinds of abuse.
That's what's meant by medium of exchange. You're willing to trade anything for money because you can trade money for anything.
assuming you're talking about daylight, it depends on your latitude and where your longitude falls in your timezone. with the current system, I drive to work in the dark and I drive home in the dark at different times of the year. I think it's more or less even for me, but maybe there's an optimal timing that minimizes everyone's commuting in the dark time. not that I feel particularly unsafe driving in the dark anyway, I only care if the sun is at an angle where I can't block it with my visor. either way, this seems like a marginal concern.
Yes, that's EXACTLY how it should work. Lottery
I used to tutor at a Boys & Girls Club in a very low-income area in Massachusetts. The way they assign students to schools is weird (at least to me, I didn’t grow up here). Students need to apply, even to public schools, and they’re offered spots through some combination of lottery, location, and grades/test scores. One of the girls I tutored went to a school that was pretty far away from her home - something like a 90 minute bus ride thanks to traffic. When I asked her about how she ended up at a school so far away she casually explained that her parents had to be at work early so she had to go to a school where she’d get on the bus as early as possible. It broke my heart.
I support the change, but the timeline seems a bit unrealistic to me. There are a lot of systems that will need to be updated to not expect time changes, and knowing how long such things tend to take, expecting everything to be ready within a few months (minus however long the bill actually took to pass) seems unlikely. Plus ideally you'd give other jurisdictions like Canada and Mexico a chance to see if they want to come along. I'd think planning to keep DST in 2022 would be a lot more realistic than planning to never change again as of now.

How is that "unlike HN?"
