I've used my DevTerm for a while, and the keyboard is definitely small. You get better using it after some time, but the key size and the unorthodox key placement due to size constraints does make it more of a toy than an actual “dev term”. That's fine for me since I didn't have any serious use planned for it: I'm currently using it as a text game terminal with TTY duplication on the thermal printer. That's pretty fun to hand out to friends to introduce them to some retro computing, but I wouldn't advocate the device as a serious computing platform.
Maybe "self aggrandizing" is a better description of this name if you take it seriously. I just find it amusing.

> I went through the last DST law change

I'd be curious to know, to what extent did that change prepare the world for this change? Was it more common to adapt IT systems to be more flexible, or to do minimal work to change hard-coded values? I imagine it was a mix but the pessimist in me thinks overwhelmingly the latter.

Notice that the antiestablishment movement is not about fixing something but taking down the current state(the individual fractions have different ideas on the fix but they unite on the destruction). Not having the moral high grounds enables that because you no longer have a discussion over how to solve issues, everything is about destroying the current order(since it's completely corrupt and immoral, beyond any repair).

You're mistaking a prevailing attitude today for some "antiestablishment movement". You're right that a lack of moral compass is causing our society to degrade. But "the establishment" and "the barbarians" is essentially the same group - anyone with power or a platform today has learned to package themselves as against some "system" whenever it's convenient and things being bad, it's often convenient (plenty of "rogue CIA officers doing what "the system" won't do to defend America" types out there - they have had publicity with shows like "24" as well). Of course, the prevalence of and even admiration for, unprincipled chameleons is a way this society is degrading as well. But it's situation anyone would have trouble walking back.
I won't claim to know how salaries work in the US, but from what I know in some other countries, there is an employer overhead to salary, so for a salary of x, the employer is actually lining up x times k, with k larger than 1. However, if you're not in the US, you're either an independent contractor or an employee in a GEO or something of the sort.

In the first case, you would bill something and get a salary out of it. If you bill x, a) your income is in dollars rather than local currency, which from experience is not great, b) you cost less to the company than US employees who cost x times k, c) you have to pay your own overhead before making it a salary. So if you bill x, your salary is less than x, and you still have to pay taxes on that salary.

If GEO or other similar arrangement, you're usually paid in local currency, presumably an amount corresponding to x at a given date, and that has extra overhead for the employer different from what a normal employee would cost.

Either way, "everyone is paid the same, regardless of location" doesn't clarify much. Thus my original question.

I finally have a use for my MBA. The theory on this one is not good. You're right: people will leave of their own volition. Problem is, it's usually the people with the highest marketability. In laymen's terms, the most skilled and productive employees. In any given organisation you'll find 20% doing 80% of the heavy lifting. Losing half of the most productive employees results in a real world 40% reduction in output. Of course, much of this output is intangible and easy to hide, so investors don't see the damage for years. Soon enough, lack of productivity bites cash flows, and another round of layoffs is announced. Wouldn't you know it, the most productive leave this time too.
I never said it was a complete list. On the other hand you are not distinguishing countries that have signed but not yet ratified the treaty, leaving only 41 members. Of those 41 members feel free to highlight those countries which are shining examples of rule of law and human rights.

> 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. Four peer reviewers provided expert critiques of the initial submission, and the SRBR Executive Board approved the revised manuscript as a Position Paper to help educate the public in their evaluation of current legislative actions to end DST. […] The choice of DST is political and therefore can be changed. If we want to improve human health, we should not fight against our body clock, and therefore, we should abandon DST and return to Standard Time (which is when the sun clock time most closely matches the social clock time) throughout the year. This solution would fix both the acute and the chronic problems of DST. We therefore strongly support removing DST changes or removing permanent DST and having governing organizations choose permanent Standard Time for the health and safety of their citizens.

Standard time moves sunlight to the morning, when people are sleeping. Permanent DST should give people the same or more sunlight during their waking hours. You'd have the same amount, waking up at 5am and assuming you don't sleep until at least 8:30pm.
Because we are still farmers who need to wake up at 6AM in the morning?
I don't think I could roll my eyes any harder if I tried.
it depends on market situation but usually those kinds of SKUs (if they're released worldwide in large volumes) are not related to yields but rather artificially disabled.

People hear about binning and assume that every product decision has to be related to binning, but usually it's not, it's just market segmentation. AMD had over 80% of Zen2 chiplets coming off the line with 8 fully-functional cores, and clock bins are generally selected such that most units will pass, by design. And that's at launch, on a new node, in 2019. Numbers have only gotten better over the last 3 years.

AMD already has a bin for iGPUs with a defect - it's 5600G/5600U/5600H/etc. And they have 5300G below that allowing even more defects. There's very very few APUs coming off the line with tons of GPU defects but 6 workable cores, or a defective PCIe controller but only a defect in the iGPU part and not the rest, etc.

The problem is that AMD has tons of supply of high-binned parts but the lowest demand for those parts. And they have the highest demand for low-binned parts but the lowest supply of those parts. How do you mesh those two curves? Disable cores on a high-binned part and sell it as a lower SKU. That's why those "black edition with unlockable cores" existed - those unlockable cores were locked off for market segmentation. Nowadays they just don't let you turn it back on.

(Which isn't to say that none of the 5600X/etc are the result of a dead core/etc - but a lot of them aren't, probably most of them aren't, given the likely >90% yields for 8-core at this point. And you pick your 5600X bin such that most 5800X failures can be sold as 5600X, meaning there's very little that falls through the cracks without being just utterly broken. True binning-generated "we have this pile of chips, let's do something with it" style SKUs tend to have extremely limited availability as a result, it's shit like the Ryzen 4700S or the Ryzen 3100, or the NVIDIA 1650 KO.)

Anyway, it's not a coincidence this is coming a few months after the Alder Lake launch. This is market-driven, Alder Lake is not only faster but in many cases it's cheaper as well. AMD coasted a little bit while motherboard supply firmed up for Intel, but they finally have to respond. I'm sure they're selling lots of Milan but consumer marketshare matters too, and AMD is losing steam there with the price increases, with Intel back on top on performance, and with Intel undercutting their pricing heavily.
A sensible plan shouldn't mention both "100000 simultaneous visitors" and "I'll have a bit of free time in the next couple months to just sketch out ideas".

100000 simultaneous visitors are a huge number that implies both progressive growth over a long time, without wasting resources in premature, oversized and overcomplicated infrastructure, and a solid business plan (in fact, an exceptional one) behind that growth, making products and services more important and more sophisticated than generic web application scalability.

On the other hand, two months of experimentation can allow you to learn a lot about highly scalable web application architectures and related technology, but building a real one requires an actual business; the most you can do on your own is reimplementing some benchmark.
Good, now also complete the metrication as a next step instead of dragging it forever in some half baked limbo.
The definition of entropy is not coordinate independent. Very briefly the reason for this is that the uniform distribution isn't coordinate independent.

There is a related coordinate independent way to measure distances from one distribution to another, which is the Kullback leibler divergence, and looks like:

D_KL(P || Q) = \int dP/dQ log(dP/dQ) dQ = E_P[log(dP/dQ)]

(This is by far the most general definition and uses the Radon-Nikodym derivative to be applicable to discrete, continuous and even weirder distributions. For reasons that I'll try to explain I also view this as a generalization of the notion of entropy)

If you let Q be a uniform distribution this is equivalent to the entropy (up to some sign changes and a constant). However uniform distributions aren't coordinate independent and therefore the notion of entropy isn't.

My personal conclusion is that there's no way of doing statistics without picking a(n improper) prior, since you inevitably need to pick some coordinates which ends up doing the same thing. You can then equivalently talk about the KL-divergence of a distribution from this prior or the entropy of a distribution, both end up being more or less the same thing.
Obviously we can't control this, so I see no evidence that "chronotypes" are formed by nature and not by nurture. Lots of other stuff we do is influenced by our social structure and we could probably fix most teenagers and young adults by changing that.
Post a video of a demo of it. Might drain attention :)
Job postings is weak. We should man up and make all salaries (including bonuses, commissions, benefits and similar) public.

And it's not about gender or race (or other) politics. It's about making a market efficient and fair. That's why no one would shop at a place where nothing had a price label.

Norway does this. And you can basically do it for all sorts of state employees (teachers with X degree and Y years experience get Y0,000 ±5%)
I had the same questions myself. I tried to follow the citation on wikipedia, but that links to a newspaper article that doesn't seem to mention it at all.

Edit: on the other hand, the claim "meta-analysis by Rutgers researchers found that Permanent DST would eliminate 171 pedestrian fatalities (a 13% reduction) per year.", does actually link to a paper: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S00014...
Disinformation and other propaganda campaigns are possibly the most important issue in our industry and societies - they are transforming cultures, and not in a way anyone likes, and threatening freedom and democracy - and yet we can't talk about them here, where it's possibly one of the most important places to discuss them. It's the almost the only thing you can't talk about on HN; it's the Emporer's New Clothes - we must agree to deny the reality we all see.

Propaganda, as I understand it, is not meant to persuade but to disrupt, to paralyze, to prevent functioning: Some people are diverted from the reality by the falsehoods, others are divided, and it makes discusion seemingly impossible - just like disucssion of public affairs in the US right now. Just like discussion of propaganda on HN - the propaganda campaigns have arguably shut down discussion of themselves - they operate but we must pretend they aren't. They've succeeded (so far).

That's not to discount efforts dang has made to deal with them - it's a tough, tough job, and who knows what HN would look like without dang's efforts. I don't want to imagine. But forbidding discussion of it is what the propagandists seek (again, as I understand it).

The solution IMHO is not a blanket ban, but to ban the techniques of propaganda: Inflammatory language (including exaggeration), unsupported claims, non-specific claims (college students are wasting their money - which students? on what?), etc. Create a higher standard for inflammatory topics: Non-inflammatory language, non-intolerent, make specific claims, support what you say, maybe more. Then we can talk about propaganda too.
I live in Arizona as well, and agree. I'd rather everyone else just pick a time and stick with it. Preferably DST so I can be 3 hours back of the East Coast and get 3 hours at the end of the work day there for solid working while no one else is around. And I like having sporting events on at the end of a work day.

Founders need to be asked those questions. Those are important questions, that the founders should be asking themselves, but also are going to have gaps in asking themselves. The same enthusiasm that causes them to want to work on these problems also causes them to miss vital questions.

Be mindful when asking that type of question. Not every founder needs to hear every question from you. But if they come to you for council, do ask those questions, because a ton of them they'd better have immediate answers to, and the rest they probably should have thought of already. But one of the most valuable services you can provide, as a friend, is to be a sounding board and to make certain they have iterated across all of those questions. That does mean a substantial mental investment from you in maintaining that checklist.

Thanks; that is what I was looking for. Last time I had to work in detail with timezones (with the above reqs, plus some others), that didn't exist (based on the date for the RFC).

As to having to/not having to implement this (and rely on the OS) - probably! I just know at the time I last dealt with this, every library I could find packaged their own TZ DB, and they were definitely not standard.
Agreed. The posted decision (permanently DST) is stupid, but less stupid than switching.

It's probably because Java promises "write once, run anywhere". If you rely on the system timezone tables, you might have a different set of timezones available from one system to another or the rules for the same timezone might differ. And then code would behave differently on different operating systems.

If instead you ship timezone tables with the Java Runtime Environment, then you can promise that (by default) the code will behave the same.

It sucks that it creates extra maintenance burden (and lurking problems people may not be aware of), but that's the price you pay for decoupling.
Do you have kids? Do you have to wake those kids up for school in the dark and wrestle with your own ability to wake up in the dark? Have you been to school board meetings and listened to other parents who are extremely opinionated about every aspect of their children's schedules.

The simple answer is that while lots of people "want" the sun in the evening, there is a sizable group of people that "need" the sun in the morning.
"adjustments"

Even those of us who prefer DST in general don't like the change in general. (OK, I remember in college extending the party by one hour was pretty cool but the other end wasn't so great.)
I used to host with them but found their interface painfully slow. I see the admin UI has updated since then, maybe they fixed the issues..
I feel like if you’re a founder… you gotta be able to brush that off / have answers (granted you don’t have to get into the weeds with everyone).

Rando existential question guy is going to do his thing regardless.
Could not disagree more. If your plan is to build a search engine and you _can't_ answer such a basic question as "why would someone use your engine over Google," then your plan is going to fail.

If you're a founder you should anticipate these kinds of questions and have answers for them that make sense; if you ask these kinds of questions you should expect an actual answer, even if you don't agree with it.

Edit, to hopefully avoid some predictable replies:

- If the point is "don't be a jerk" then fine, there's a way to ask these basic questions without being discouraging.

- The author is right if the project isn't supposed to be a business. "Why would someone use your hobby language instead of C++" is a stupid question because the point of writing a hobby language is the fun of writing it.

But if someone is putting their life savings into a business idea and can't answer the most basic questions about it... Maybe they need a little discouragement.

Edit, again:

Also, I'm not a founder, but I have a side project, and I've gotten these sorts of questions about it... and I love them! Because it's a starting point into talking about my side project, which I love doing with people! I'm not discouraged by someone questioning why I'm building my thing, because I know perfectly well why I'm building my thing and I enjoy sharing that with people.
What does ‘off by an hour’ even mean here? I don’t understand why this whole thing seems to be such a heated topic. Time on a clock is just a concept we all agree on. If we all agree “_now_ it’s 9am and we shall not change clocks from this point on”, then that’s that, _now_ is “9am”, there’s no “off by an hour”.
Early school hours are often a result of teachers' desires to get out of work early. Many teachers' unions include school hours in their bargaining/contracts.
Doesn’t matter.

First, a reserve currency is just a currency that is held on reserve by central banks for liquidity, trading, and stability. The U.S. dollar is the dominant reserve currency but is just one of many. Central banks hold the dollar, but also the Yen, Euro, Pound, and other currencies.

Second, this is Saudi Arabia obtaining Yuan for Chinese purchases of oil, which it will then turn around and trade for dollars or whatever they feel like doing. But the strength of the dollar isn’t just the Petrodollar, it’s the US military and rule of law. It is faith in the American government. In China, the CCP absolutely does not give the slightest shit about your property rights, your ability to list your company on a stock exchange, or whatever other asinine things it drums up as being important to the Party. This alone without a doubt defeats any serious attempt of the Yuan to become on par with the Euro or Dollar. If China actually operates more like a democracy with human rights, property rights, and rule of law it could definitely rival $, €, £, and ¥. But until then that won’t happen. The Chinese people should be pissed at the parasitic CCP holding them back. But I digress.

Finally, the USD will not lose reserve currency status (again, as a currency held by central banks) because the U.S. economy is gigantic and intrinsically valuable. Even if all oil sales were denominated in Yuan or whatever, the USD would still be extremely powerful and held in reserve by central banks. In fact, it’s likely that the U.S. would stop experiencing trade deficits if it lost defacto domination of world market exchanges.

While I think Americans need to get used to a multi-polar economic world, these articles just create FUD where there is none. A much bigger problem is self-inflicted damage due to partisan politics versus an aging China.
