> When's the last time you used a sundial to figure out the time down to a quarter hour or didn't have a device with you that gave you the current time?

I live in Scandinavia some 500km South of the Arctic circle. Let me tell you that it's very obvious that the sun is one hour off at "midnight" in Summer. If we kept DST in Winter it would be even more noticeable. It would also mean that there'd be some 3 months per year where I need to go to and leave from work in complete darkness. At least right now I get to wake up to some sunlight in December.

Daytime is fundamentally an astronomic concept. Proponents of permanent DST could at least be intellectually honest and admit they want everyone to get up an hour earlier rather than force everyone to pretend that 11am is actually 12pm.

> Yes, the days get a bit shorter, but you're still talking about a 6:45pm sunset in Texas

That's cute. I just walked back home from work and the sun was already setting here at 5:30. And it's still Autumn.
Xbox tried this... the Xbox search that spanned all the app enabled services was freaking awesome.

BUT.. the networks killed it and the feature never lived much into the X1 and doesn't exist anywhere at all anymore.
Good point, it was a long while ago and I was definitely using COM objects. The network interface was handled by Apache with PHP scripting. I stand corrected, thanks :)

I got into writing this actually because graphics sharing was such a bad experience that I would usually run a Windows host and then Linux guests in something like VirtualBox or VMWare Workstation. I always wanted a host with fault tolerant guests but GPU sharing features seemed to be locked to "enterprise GPUs" and it wouldn't work on my consumer GPU. This solves some of those problems I was having and lets me run Linux on my host with a full performance Windows guest (at least for me it does).

Ultimately version control is about easily merging changes from people working on different machines.

Being able to "review" changes as clean set of patches is not essential.

The mindset of "we must review every change before it goes in" is not based in reality anyway.

Have you ever seen a system of code reviews produce useful benefits that would not be there without it?

You can always review already-committed code and discuss it within the team. It does not need to happen at commit time.
That sounds great.

However, as a DB where users may store critical data, should you really be "Always be launching"? That sounds a little like FB's "move fast and break things". There's a reason why some of the mission critical open source technologies move slowly.

>Banning anonymous social media accounts is not the answer to online abuse

Entirely true, but it is also not the reason for the push to de-anonymise (and de-pseudonymise) the internet. It is merely the pretext. The true reason is to make it impossible to speak your mind without fear of retribution. The democratisation of the public discourse haunts and frightens the ruling classes to their bones. The broad dissemination of information and opinions was firmly in the hands of a feudalistic elite until just a few decades ago. The fact that the masses are no more just bonded serfs in the information ecology has finally firmly arrived in the minds of the feudal lords and they are pushing back to preserve their powers to guide public opinion by interpretation ex cathedra. Strap in firmly everybody, we are about to enter stormy waters - the enlightenment 2.0 is afoot, methinks!
> I will say I am constantly struck by how some of my relatives from previous generations were able to have 10 kids in a 3 bed house (relatively poor) and survive, let alone be happy. Anyway that one could be relevant overall, but I am curious nonetheless.

I'll offer insight. As someone who attends a very traditional catholic parish, where a ten child family would be considered only slightly above average, the more children you have... the more social you're going to be.

The more kids you have, the larger your network. Your kids become friends with someone else's kid and then you become friends with their parents. If you have two kids with five friends each, then this is 10 parents. If you have ten kids with five friends each, then this is 50, and you now have friends of all different ages, since the kids are not all the same age.

As an example, the lady with one of the most kids at our parish, is also in some ways the center of the social life. She organizes a lot of events, and even if she's not around at a particular event, one of her kids and their family (some of the older ones are married) are there and you can communicate with her through them.

Also, having so many kids, you have to rely on others for help.

When we go to activities where there are smaller families, we notice how little 'help' we get with our children. This makes sense. With only two kids... that's manageable by two people. On the other hand at church, everyone will hold our newborn and toddler, take care of them for a few hours while my wife and I get some nice socializing time. Large families being the norm, everyone wants to help parents with young kids because they want that help reciprocated when they have a newborn or young children again (or in the case of older couples, they feel obligated to pay it forward).

In contrast, with just one or two, it's easy to evolve the 'pull yourself up by the bootstraps' mentality that is becoming so prevalent these days. In some ways, I think the shrinking family size has a lot to do with the loneliness many experience.
My doctor recommended I begin intermittent fasting - no breakfast, light lunch, normal dinner; 8 hour "eating window" per day. I've been at it for about 18 months now. About 8 months ago I started really watching how much sugar and highly processed carbs I eat (not a keto diet, just not going crazy with pasta and sweets). I've lost 50 pounds and no longer have to take my hypertension medication. If this were the olden days before you could take medication to treat hypertension then sure, an argument could be made that skipping meals can make you live longer. Today things are slightly different but even so, "skipping meals can reduce your medications" is still pretty significant.

The fear of looking stupid cripples me in just about everything I do. Work, both professionally and personal projects, competitive videogames, even playing piano or guitar. Maybe I can take a hint from this post and embrace it rather than avoiding it.

I think this post might be triggering a lot of people who feel it might be criticizing them. It takes a lot of emotional energy to _look_ stupid in front of people, in ways that I would guess most people here (including myself) don't.
If you can consider quitting dev to be a kitchen helper, economics are clearly not a barrier.
Your proposal suggests that this result is due to lack of knowledge, rather than malice. While I'm a fan of Hanlon's Razor in the absence of evidence to the contrary, the Governor's office clearly employs technologically competent people.

That means that the Governor is either persisting despite knowing better, or is remaining deliberately ignorant despite the expertise at his disposal. Either way, this is at least somewhat intentional.

I've seen sentry in a lot of analytics blocklists, so I'd assume it would be from that.
Those PDAs generally used styluses, similarly sized screens (or at least about half the size of current phones, 4-5", so a very different DPI) and it was considered okay to make interface elements so small that you could not walk and reliably hit them at the same time.

By your logic we should be able to use a PDA interface on a smartwatch.

I live over on the West Coast, and I truly don't understand how Canada's tech ecosystem works.

I just started with a US company at $130k CAD + stock (they are saving a bundle vs if I was in the states, and I'm making $10k cad more than any Canadian company was offering, plus stock), two rounds of easy interviews, etc. People that want to make a ton of money get poached into the states all the time, because Canadian companies just aren't willing to play the game...

My last Vancouver position was $80k cad for mid level dev, no raise after 18 months, shitty equipment, etc... My first junior dev job ever was $75k USD in a low COL city in the states plus stock, bonuses, etc.

Being an American that has worked in tech on both sides of the border, there is definitely a culture difference. I haven't figured out exactly what it is, but it feels like Canadian tech culture is a little too conservative, cautious. I can't quite figure it out, there is capital, talent, access to markets

I'm not aware of any egregiously anticompetitive behavior on their part and they certainly fall well short of market dominance.

Disney would be a more likely, though still unlikely, lightning rod for apparently having sold their streaming service as a "loss leader" and having purchased lots and lots of copyrights and trademarks which they subsequently made exclusive, directly causing the termination of Netflix programs in some cases.

4chan is also a poor demonstration because you can't be persistently pseudonymous. It's an imageboard.

Compare that to forums which are based on usernames, where there is usually higher quality discussion because you have a post history and this weeds out the bots and trolls.

I totally understand your point. I don't see why all the daylight hours need to happen during the time when I'm stuck in the office (or otherwise at work), leaving only darkness for the hours I'm not at work. This may have made sense in an era when the majority of people worked in the field, but today most people work in buildings, and a great many of those buildings sadly have permanently shuttered windows and artificial lighting.
They provide javascript / browser integration into sending sentry events, aka "tracking data", to their servers.

Just as one might block "googleads.g.doubleclick.net" to avoid google tracking, it is very reasonable to blacklist sentry to avoid various companies tracking you.
Lately, I've become convinced that it's simply because so much of our lives is controlled by corporations and their priorities. Whenever I look around and try to figure out why everything looks so bleak; e.g. why does every building look the same, why is everyone's behavior so homogenous and boring, why is there so little creativity, etc.? It's because a very small number of organizations have a huge amount of influence over us. They sell us goods, services, opinions, lifestyles, and so forth. In short, they sell us our lives. And if they don't sell it to us, they at least sell it to someone who then sells it to us. Therefore, if we want less isolation and more of a human world that cares about individuals as people, we should get rid of the corporations.
Also European (IS), and all of those points (though on 90k US) apply on this end as well.

Anyone who "promised" "only two shots and done" was wrong and doesn't understand vaccines. Most vaccines need boosters over time depending on a huge number of variables including the virus' own mutation rate. Everyone should know we get annual Flu boosters, even if they don't remember that you are often recommended to get things like TDAP boosters every 10 years or so (because often it is your doctor's job to remember that for you), and that there are other booster cycles that's just the most recent one in my own memory.

There was also plenty of notice anticipating that COVID may need boosters closer to the Flu range than the TDAP or longer range, especially at first because of how fast it has mutated even before we developed vaccines (we were already on the fourth Greek letter named variant, Delta!).

That's in line with the fact that this virus family ("coronavirus") is one of the viruses that makes up the virus group we have long colloquially referred to as "the common cold" and that this "uncommon cold" of COVID still directly shares a lot of fast mutating properties that made "annual Cold shots" to go with our annual Flu shots not very economically sound. The jump to being a much more deadlier pathogen than previous "common Colds" greatly changes that equation to make vaccines economic for it, but has raised the question from the start of this pandemic if now is the time we start anticipating "annual Cold shots", perhaps in perpetuity, just as we try to get everyone to get their annual Flu shots to avoid Flu's "uncommon deadly reaction" pneumonia. (A lot of the references to the 1918-1919 Flu parallels included that's when we first started seeing a greater economic need for annual Flu shots, beyond just coinciding with when we were developing the first Flu shots, as before that pandemic the Flu itself was often seen in the same light today we see the "common cold", a mostly harmless irritant rather than a very deadly disease.)

(The interesting flipside to some of this is that the pandemic has shown us that we actually have a chance at killing the Flu if we kept COVID restrictions such as social distancing and masking in our societies. The massive "demands" for "normal" that don't include such standards clearly don't want that and we aren't likely to actually cure the flu, but this weird glimpse in 2021 of how close we have come to it is startling. We could almost trade annual Flu shots for annual "Cold" shots right now, if we all did the right thing for a few more years, but most likely we're going to need both. Silver lining, Moderna says their early testing on combined Covid/Flu boosters is going well, so maybe we'll still keep it down to just one annual shot, we can hope.)
Stories of Norse Greenlanders visiting Iceland mention their poverty. They would come to Iceland and taste beer and bread for the first time in their lives. They lived, yes, but they definitely did not thrive over there. Perhaps they were sustainable, but they were on the very edge of being so, and when conditions worsened (worse climate, lost trade routes, competition, etc.), they weren’t any more and these settlements were abandoned.

Given the slovenly praise of Cloudflare on HN, I was pretty surprised to see on Glassdoor that their engineers seem pretty unhappy - stressed, overworked, underpaid, and mistreated by leadership.

Cloudflare is just big enough that there’s enough Glassdoor reviews from engineers to show a pretty consistent pattern. Considering how companies try to game Glassdoor, a lot of positive sentiment should be taken with a big grain of salt, but any consistent negative pattern is alarming.

It is an interesting question, and one I think about once in a while. My recall of specific facts from books I've read is pretty terrible (not sure if this true for others, or if it is related to my aphantasia in any way). That's true both for fiction and non-fiction I read. That said, I do feel that a certain amount of knowledge does remain, somewhere below the surface. I can carry on a conversation on a variety of topics, concepts that I have encountered before are processed faster, my worldview shifts and expands. I have general awareness of Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi and his work :) Is the benefit substantive? Hard to say. But I enjoy the process and get to be a slightly more well-rounded person, so why not.
Isn't this defamation? Would the reporter in question have a case against the Governor here? IANAL, would love an explanation of how I'm wrong by someone more knowledgeable.
That's fair. I'll be modifying my question for next time to rule out that possibility.

Though to be even more fair, if the political class didn't prostitute their influence, there would be nothing for the wealthy to buy, so making billionaires vanish does not address that problem.
The OP is saying the test is for holding office, not voting. There absolutely should be a higher bar for holding office than for voting.
I don't think so. You still need at least "millions of dollars" and some experienced dev staff (most likely snatched from the big guys) if you plan on making anything competitive with intel, arm, or apple.
I switched to eating light lunches and skipping breakfast a couple of years ago, lost 12 pounds, feel fitter and able to keep up with the demands of being a dad of a 11 month old baby along with a full time job. I would highly recommend this diet for folks finding it tough to restrict calories, restrict eating window and don't try to restrict calories as much.

They already don't make sense as the M1 isn't a "general purpose" CPU like Intel or AMD that support multiple operating systems, and even the development of new ones. Instead, the M1 is a black-box that only fully supports macOS - that's a crippling limitation for many of us.
