Many businesses already have differing winter/summer hours under the current regime. That is, they change their hours in winter and summer. And often those hours don’t change in any consistent way. They do just fine despite the coordination problem you bring up.

Business hours and human hours change all the time anyway. You have to check in instead of assume. The times that things happen are not and have never been static.
> which massively expanded the utility of the blockchain.

I have little to no crypto experience or knowledge. In what way does this expand the utility of the chain, and what problems does this allow to be solved?

What are the pros/cons of using this over something else?
That's how I used to write it in 2018, before I discovered the `impl` keyword. It's the obvious way of doing it. (Though I'd've used `Iterator` rather than `IntoIterator` because I came from Python. (Yes, I know `IntoIterator` is the version best matching Python's behaviour.))

Nowhere near that level, and most importantly, we tend to make fun of the US "Offense Olympics".
Is this really different than any other country? Any government (at least in uncontested territories) can come in and tell you to fuck off, and there's really very little you can do about it.
And most of those opportunities are just as bad, as the person you were replying to pointed out.
I mean people might do look down on it, but they're hypocritics: pretty much everyone puts their own interests ahead of other people/society.

I think the blame is misplaced. People work at Facebook because they offer among the highest salaries, and are insulated enough from the bad PR to not feel bad about it.

It is hard to understand the breadth of scope of the FAANGs. You read in the newspaper that Google exists to turn over dissidents to the Chinese government, but there are plenty of engineers working on making the Linux kernel more secure, or providing gigabit internet for $79/month. Should those engineers quit and go work on CRUD apps for some startup at half their salary? It doesn't make much sense, and that's why people don't do it.

(I don't know if the scope of Facebook is similar to that of Google, but I imagine it is. I submitted a patch to some open source project of theirs that collects diagnostic information from NTP servers. Are those people really to blame for targeting their product at 6 year olds? No. They just want to work on interesting projects for a great salary, and hope that whatever bigger system they're part of works out.)

Basically, it won't be effective to be an Internet Tough Guy and tell all Facebook employees to quit. They won't do it. Make their work illegal (regulate), or make their work unprofitable (stop buying their ads), and the problem solves itself.
This is a pathetic and harmful attitude. You should not encourage victims (or would be victims) to be helpless.
> the left operand, which starts out as unsigned char, will get promoted to int

This is a big flaw in C. Quietly promoting an unsigned type to a signed type, simply because it was added to by a signed number? And that signed number is deterministically known to be > 0? C has major problems like this, you don't even need to look to UB to run into them. I think mixing signed and unsigned values should always give you a stern warning, explaining the pitfalls, and yet (a) the warning you get is some useless Chernobyl error light like "mixing signed and unsigned values" and (b) that warning is probably not enabled easily, without bringing in lots of stupid warnings too.

'massively expanded the scope for scams, fraud and other tokenized nonsense'. :-)

Say what you like about dogecoin and the early code-fork clones of early coins (BTC, LTC), at least they required some technical ability and maintenance of their respective blockchains (mining, nodes, etc). Ethereum enables ponzis on the scale never thought possible.

We are in scam times now where any idiot can clone an ERC20 contract and scam a million people (SHIB token has ~888k holders right now). It is still and will forever remain useless.
Following your "hilarious" and disrespectful answer here https://github.com/i5ik/22120/issues/63#issuecomment-7275272..., I would prefer that you remove any reference to SingleFile from the description of your project. I could not open an issue because you blocked me. And please, don't accuse people without proof.
This is from the article:

>"It is important to note that the university did not deny the First Amendment rights or academic freedom of professors Dan Smith, Michael McDonald and Sharon Austin," the school said in an email to NPR. "Rather, the university denied requests of these full-time employees to undertake outside paid work that is adverse to the university's interests as a state of Florida institution."

The operative phrase there is "outside paid work."

I believe you interpreted NPR's article exactly the way NPR intended you to interpret it. That is to say, you were supposed to read it and walk away misinformed due to the framing.
I am a PostgreSQL enthusiast (neither a developer nor a DBA, though), and I am always surprised by the number of capabilities PostgreSQL (and the community) offers. It's a true DATA ecosystem.
I've been on the fence for a while about coroutines, but I have to say that libraries like folly coro do a very good job at hiding all the complexity (the library itself though is somewhat impenetrable).

Facebook is very invested in coroutines, all major internal libraries at this point have a coroutine interface (in particular Thrift auto-generates coro client interfaces), and they have enjoyed wide adoption, way beyond the small cabal of C++ gurus.

Personally what sold me is cancellation handling. It really is magical.

Are your concerns about frame allocation? Is this something that the nanosecond-latency crowd particularly cares about? :)

This is possibly me projecting my own biases into the author's writing, but the specific style of "some paragraphs made up of only a single long sentence, some paragraphs made up of a few small sentences" reminds me very much of the ADHD folks I know and their writing style.
You're so right about this. I'm surprised so many HN users just blindly accept any critical claim about facebook.

The article on Ars is pure click bait. Nowhere in the article 6yo kids are mentioned. The article doesn't even contain any news material, it just regurgitates things published a week ago.

Reliance on self reported studies, that doesn't even paint Facebook bad by itself. If you want to prove that Facebook is bad for mental health, show me at least an observational study that so that I can compare the baseline prevalence of mental health disorders with the mental health of FB users. I doubt it would be different for any other social network user. The key word here is comparison. Raw numbers rarely mean anything by themselves.
> Not an intentional conspiracy or anything, just a systemic natural response to the pressure of not wanting to be raked across the coals in the media as the "crazy".

Well, I'm pretty sure the monies spent by certain global corporations also do their part explaining why climate change and global warming has not been taken serious for the last fifty years - when it was first recognized. By scientists of the aforementioned global corporations.

It is well documented how 'big oil' (for the lack of a better name) has lobbied hard and heavy to kill any effort that took climate change serious.

> I general though, short of a deus ex machina, I have no hope for the world doing anything about the climate emergency, even after it's obviously too late and even after the worlds seen a major city burned/wet bulbed/typhooned off the map.

Oh boy, I agree. It pains me so hard and so much but I absolutely agree. Our monkey brains and monkey societies are just not able to deal with the kind of dangers that we've been able to put ourselves in.

Good point, updating to Android 11 took my Bluetooth connection from "spotty at best" to "nearly too aggressive". If you have multi-point Bluetooth accessories, Android 11+ devices will almost always try to steal your connection if Bluetooth is enabled.

Your example, valid as it is, applies to events happening on-campus, not off. It doesn’t seem comparable to this situation.
Can you even vet it, really? All you need is one chip with secret logic inside it, in just a handful of boards, and you are hosed. You'd have to physically inspect every single board, in every single piece of equipment, and even then that's not 100%. Often these devices look completely different inside from lot to lot, due to the way component sourcing works.

I think ripping them out is likely much cheaper.

This is a very naive article. The author admits her lack of knowledge, but goes ahead and pontificates anyway.
The real reason for world hunger isn't lack of food. It's that food isn't distributed to the people who need it. And the reason for that is politics.
In every country, the distribution of resources is controlled by the people in power. And in many countries, those resources, whether food or something else, are hoarded by those in favor and denied to those out of favor. If you simply deliver huge quantities of food to many countries in Africa, for instance, the warlords or dictators in charge will sell it for their own profit, or give it to their friends and relatives and withhold it from their enemies.
In other words, this is a problem of local politics. You can't come in from the outside and fix it, no matter how much money you spend or what kind of advanced technology you use.
Surely it's a bit more complex question than that. The traditional way of running software includes some sort of privilege management, uids, ulimits, chroots but sometimes also things like pledge and selinux. Those things are sometimes summarizes as privilege minimization.

Privilege minization is much harder when stuffing everything in a container. I'd wager that running Chrome normally is probably safer than running it inside Docker, for example, because not all sandboxing functionality works when running inside a container.

So it would depend on what software, and what type of container.
Then everyone you communicate with would also need to self-host.
When I found pine nuts for only $16/lb at Trader Joe's, I thought I'd hit the jackpot. I made pesto, and even snacked on the pine nuts while I cooked.

Then I had a terrible, 2-week long experience with 'pine mouth'.

Everything tasted awful: coffee, muffins, cereal, meat, vegetables – even water tasted bitter. And during the first few days, before I realized what was happening, I threw away tons of perfectly safe food that I thought had spoiled.

I never found out how common pine mouth was, but I was really upset that the risk wasn't better communicated.

Japanese¹ isn't a right to left language, exactly. It can be written horizontally, in which case it's L-R, top to bottom, or, vertically, in which case it's top to bottom, with columns running R-L, but functionally, this is still like L-R typesetting, just with the characters rotated 90° CCW and the pages are then read in the same order as pages in a R-L book. This is typical of manga which is why there might have been confusion by the OP about the directionality of Japanese.

This is definitely coming down the pipe. I think it's extremely imported to come up with an alternative to the existing centralized systems; which I believe primarily exist in order to mitigate spam.

Some people have been working on an interesting solution called StampChat which has a similar topology to email, but the messages are encrypted by default and the spam mitigation is done via sending tokens to the recipient (ala Hal Finney's RPoW) idea.

It's still a prototype, but there is one deployment over here: https://web.stampchat.io

The whitepaper on the protocol is here: https://www.stampchat.io/whitepaper.pdf

The problem is the absurdly unjust system that needs monitoring. It's not "just the way the world works", because it doesn't have to be the way that it is, and it should not be the way that it is.

A system that requires constant, complicated intervention to function properly ensures that those with the resources and background to know that they have to exercise constant vigilance against malfeasance will come out ahead over the long run.

A new era of work...
Video calls need to reflect a new era of working. That’s why we took video and made it less. Less traditional, less formal, less bulky, even less realistic. Less about blowing up people’s faces on a 70-inch HDTV, more about focusing and doing. Around is there for a quick session to supercharge all future-of-work applications. It’s just enough to be present but makes space for what’s important: the task at hand.

Our sophisticated, AI-assisted audio technology developed over a period of 2 years completely transforms the possibilities and dynamics of a video call. Dedicated conference room equipment is no longer needed, and Around’s focused UX makes video calls fast and productive.
