I'm too dumb to know what modalities means but simply, a lot of people end up with 1 hour less sleep because they're not tired at the normal time and over a population of 300+ million, more mistakes are made driving and people with poor health experience elevated stress due to lack of sleep. A non-zero amount of people pass away the day of from these issues.
Given that there are rumors of widespread yuan counterfeiting, and a very political central bank, I don't know who would want to be yuan heavy.
Bitdefender is the most recommended other option. Sophos and F Secure are good too, so is Emsisoft and G Data. Depends on who you want to share your data with and how much you are willing to spend. Emsisoft is the least bloated option, they don't include all the password and vpn nonsense.

> “Due process” is an individual US constitutional right

Which basically says "the state must respect the legal rights owed to a person" according to the legal process. And those can range from "you have none because we think you're a terrorist" to "whatever you desire because you're rich enough to buy yourself laws, or at the very least judges".

I will quote something I said just 2 days ago:

> Speaking of due process, 97% of criminal cases don't actually go to trial in the US and are instead settled with plea deals [0]. The sentencing is so harsh for anyone demanding trial and losing that it's mostly a paper right at this time. It does give people the warm fuzzy feeling of justice and correctness though.

Under these conditions having "due process" matters a lot less than you think. China also has laws against having more than 3 children, it just happens that Uyghurs are disproportionately imprisoned for breaking them. Can you think of another group of people being disproportionately imprisoned elsewhere?

> We still have extradition treaties

What's the value of treaties if attempts to enforce them are met with threats from a country with powerful economy and military? The US has repeatedly threatened countries to deter them from ever attempting to prosecute US citizens even for things as serious as war crimes (including the famed "Hague Invasion Act [0]) despite never actually taking any actions to punish this even internally. Like a mob "protection tax", it's not a real agreement if it can't realistically be enforced both ways.

What sort of moral high ground do you think you're defending now? I find it both fascinating and depressing that people find pride in defending such behavior just because it's enacted by their country.

That at least makes some sense.
Why are you afraid of the government randomly killing you? I think you only have to think about that if you're doing or planning something very illegal. People who have problems with trust and are overly paranoid might fantasize about that sort of thing, but the average citizen who doesn't do anything wrong will be fine.
Most people start work at 8-9am and sunrise is well before that with plenty of time for commute with or without daylight savings.

There is another much smaller cluster of people who start work at 4-6am because they're in transit or service industry and they are before sunrise either way.

ehh, maybe. depends what they were experimenting with. I've tacked very out-of-place things into code I was already working on solely because I was very familiar with the code I was working on and I wanted to try something. I know this is a common thing and that others do it. I am not saying it is a good idea.

is that what MS did? I dunno, probably not, but it's possible.

People now counter any claim like this with "that's whataboutism!". It's free reign to be be hypocritical I guess.
I use:

Arizona is rough because even though the state is officially MST, some (not all) of the Native American tribes do DST. In some areas it's kind of mess if you let your phone choose its timezone based off of the strongest cell tower.

Arizona the state is in MST, there's Navajo reservations in MDT, and there's even a Hopi reservation that's totally encircled by a Navajo reservation that doesn't do DST.
Huh. These days most systems I work with just use a shim into the system timezone tables (I just checked the Qt docs, as that's my preferred way to develop cross-platform apps).

"Awesome toy" is a good way to put it. Very neat, but not practical for me. Really excited to see some RISC-V stuff though.
The whole world going to the same time zone, usually proposed in these discussions, doesn't work - sun-time dissociates with clock-time, making words like "night" and "noon" confusing.

However, I would like to see a North American Standard time (NAT): Set the clock at half-way between US Mountain and Central times and apply it to all of North America (with maybe a few extreme exceptions, such as western Alaska and Hawaii). The coasts would be off ~30 minutes more than DST, which I hope isn't too far, and nobody in North America would have to think about time zones again.
DST makes more sense simply because we are already on DST for 8 months of the year, vs. 4 months for "standard" time.
Well it can be sunk in some other ways but those trees were already doing it before they got logged. The most efficient way of CO2 sink is the one that's already there because it takes no resources to keep it.

What time do you wake up?

In Boston (Northernmost major metro on East Coast) the new latest sunrise would be at 8:13am, with a substantial period of twilight before then. Night will officially end at 6:32am, then astronomical twilight ends at 7:06, then officially sunrise at 8:13am. Point is you’re waking up during the dawn even if you’re waking up at 6:30 to get the kids to school.

I don't think it is the violence itself that solves the problem. I think it is the broader public realizing that "the CIA is engaging in acts so egregious my countrymen think execution is morally justified" that solves the problem, by forcing them to look for more moderate solutions and prioritize their implementation.

I think 'never advocate for violence, even against more-violent greater evils' is a flawed rule because it leads to the compromise result landed closer to in favor of evil. We need the radical voices to drag the center towards effective action. (And torture is so superlatively evil that I have no moral qualms advocating for the humane execution of those who can be proven to have engaged in or ordered it).
Does it increase by 1-hour's worth of death? If so, may be bad statistics.
Unfortunately, although it looks like a TRS-80 100/102, or a wp2, it is actually enough smaller that it looks like you wouldn't be able to type on it.

I'd buy something like this if it were the size of a normal keyboard (and as long as it cost less than 300, oh, and as long as it has 4gb of ram. yeah, probably I'm not actually the target market).
Pollings actually shows legislators are exactly in lockstep with voters. For instance, a strong majority of Americans say they would not pay an additional $10 per month in electricity to combat climate change. So legislators faithfully do nothing to combat climate change that would cost voters in any way. You may not like it, and neither do I, but the problem is with the voters rather than the politicians
So you’re saying you’re fine with them leaving work in the evening in the dark, because that’s the trade-off. Not to mention your post-work leisure time will be in darkness.
The general excitement about generics on this thread makes me uneasy.

Please keep in mind that generics are a pretty big hammer - they can add a lot of complication if not used with caution. Only use a language feature if you absolutely must.

type Optional[T any] struct {
value *T
}

Don't use a pointer - it's bad for performance.

func MakeOptional[T any](value *T) Optional[T] {

Use `New` instead - it's the idiomatic name for a constructor in Go. Drop the `Optional` part - the module name suffices - the caller will see: `opt.New`. Personally I just call the module `optional`, I think it's clearer: `optional.New`.

func (o* Optional[T]) Unwrap() (T, error) {

1. `Unwrap` reminds me of Rust's .Unwrap, which panics. Seems confusing.

2. There's no error here, the situation is equivalent to a missing key in a map - it's enough to return a bool.

And then you'd need to know your exact longitude to know what time it is - doesn't sound workable to me. Although it would make life easier for GPS makers.
I think a larger worry would be running afoul of one of Google's capricious, difficult-to-reverse account suspensions. I wouldn't want my domain to end up expiring or becoming otherwise inaccessible because Google's algorithms decided to suspend my account over something innocuous I posted on YouTube or put in Google Drive.

My guess is that either distract west media from what is happening in Ukraine at this very moment (russian solders, not Putin, using heavy artillery are bombing the cities and killing civilians) and/or to convince west that because of this "brave" woman (not really), russians do not deserve sanctions.
That's how my parents did it... it's changed in the past 20 years. Stupid suburban wine moms raised this past generation to be coddled at every opportunity. I hear about parents getting in trouble for letting their children walk a mile or 2 to a park and back... or bike a few miles to a friend... ridiculous. Lots of parts of America (outside big cities) we still don't care.
I came from a Forester Turbo XT, it's a lesson on non-linearity. Each RPM speed has range of power that depends on how spun up the turbo speed. So RPM X might be 100HP without turbo, to 150HP once the exhaust pressure results in higher turbo speed, which results in more air in the engine, which results in a more turbo speed. Took a fair bit of experience to get used to it. It was quite fun to drive though.

I found switching to an EV dramatically easier to drive, despite having about twice the performance.

Nearly every driver on the planet handles nearly 1G braking on nearly every car on the planet from the last decade, even the outliers like the cars with drum brakes. The improved modern brake caused no rash of problems with over braking, no huge spike in crashes, no calls for strong laws to control braking speeds. Why should accelerating at nearly 1G be any different than braking at 1G? The key to safe driving is predictable performance, giving drivers what they expect.
Lots of reasons why it shouldnt be the first thing you do

1) changing jobs is a slow process, with lots of communication delays likely to stretch over days / weeks. Putting your finances in order takes a couple hours from scratch. They really arent mutually exclusive options

2) you should streamline your finances before looking to switch jobs so you can better assess your needs and what you are willing to sacrifice when evaluating market nuances.

3) He doesnt actually have any guarantee of another job. He should see what it takes to get out of paycheck to paycheck living at his current wage because that is his current reality. If he wants to prioritize saving money, he needs to start now by making any sacrifices he can. Those sacrifices become a motivational tool to increase his income in order to buy back the conveniences if he still wants them.

Security and convenience are on a spectrum. Often security works against itself by being too inconvenient, leading to human attacks as people work around the security features. If someone wants more security, it doesn't mean that they "really care about security" and want 100% bulletproof coverage. There are grey areas.

I would say time of day is not completely arbitrary, but it also does not require exact alignment with physical phenomena to have meaning.

For example, if one were to say it is 12pm, people would understand roughly where we are in the diurnal cycle. People will understand it is not night time. People will know roughly where the sun is in the sky.

Rough information is still information. Information doesn't need exact boundaries and discrete rules to carry meaning.
Not saying it does, although for note this structure I'm describing was Tibet in the 1940s-50s, so not too far in the past. They guy who did this blinding is the guy who picked the current Dalai Lama

Agree that a regime being "better than" one that existed in the past doesn't justify repression, but also what is "foreign" and what is not is something that is socially constructed and shaped by the passage of time, not objective fact.

For instance, I would not have preferred for the South in the US to be able to secede because "repression by a local is better than foreign Northerners."
Porkbun is amazing. I had a problem with my FIDO2 key (there was no password reset path for you if you still had your FIDO2 key), so I let support know. Less than a day later their engineers got back to me letting me know they had added the feature and deployed it. Everyone there is super nice as well :)
I still have an interest in quite a few Olympic sports. NBC's coverage, in the US, has made watching the Olympics unbearable. Things like spending half the broadcast on background/special interest stories instead of the competition. Only showing the US athletes and usually, but not always, the podium winners. Starting an event on one channel and then moving it to a different channel halfway through. etc.
I'm pretty skeptical that there's any area in the world with reliable SMS and no mobile data, not even GPRS.
I read through the whole issue thread. I admire your firmness on pushing through while at the same time maintaining professional and analytical tone in your responses. To me it is a good example how I'd imagine most open-source issue discussions should go. I understand both sides, and trade offs taken. Nice work.

Although the "your best bet to get a desired change through isn't via a private call with a maintainer." comment directed at you made me chuckle.
I would add that the US does the above without being willing to be accountable to the 123 other ICC member states along with China, Iraq, Israel, Libya, Qatar and Yemen while demanding the rest of the the world to obey it's sanctions. Do as I say and not as I do is hardly a shining example of democracy. If the planet is is ever to be a globally equitable and safe place for all accountability for all is needed.
I really don't like that they picked permanent DST.

Does no one realize that this means that we all have to get up one hour earlier year round? That kids will have to travel to school in the dark for the majority of the year, including in most cases standing around in the freezing cold at unlit bus stops?

It's still better than resetting the clocks. But I really they should have chosen standard time.

Also, this means nothing unless passed by congress as well.
It feels like we live in such a post-truth world, even the clock will now be an untruth. Couldn't we just use standard time, and let people wake and sleep when they choose, instead of creating an illusion for them?
Not really a fair comparison, given that the Netherlands's latitude would put it in the Hudson Bay were it to be in North America. There are no major North American cities as far north as Amsterdam besides Anchorage.
Sure, but I'd imagine on lots of threads discussing exploits, there are a lot of experts commenting, "Considering how frequently systems are exploited, any system that doesn't require Internet functionality shouldn't be on the Internet".
High culture vs low culture has always been at least partly arbitrary. I'm not an Opera fan in general, but used to love that there was a cafe in town that once a month hosted 'opera' night, where amateur and pro opera singers (some from the SJ and SF opera camps) to sing whatever they want.

Sometimes you'd get someone singing pop tunes as arias, sometimes you'd see legit arias sung in full costume, sometimes just the local belting out of Carmen in sweatpants. It felt delightfully local, accessible, and devoid of highbrow/lowbrow nonsense.

Yes, more people die in the few days after the short night in the spring, but then there is a lower average mortality in the few days after that, and overall there is no net difference. Likewise in the fall, there is a slight dip in the day or two after the long night, but it washes out over the next week.

Virtually no parents have to get the kids dropped off at all. The vast majority, afaik, can rely on a school bus to pick them up.

And IMHO, beyond elementary school (and perhaps earlier) there's no reason most kids can't be unsupervised briefly before letting themselves out to get to the bus, or after being dropped off by the bus.

See the whole thing about free range kids, helicopter parents, and so forth.
Why jump through these extra hoops and deal with the risk? There are tons of reputable domain registrars out there, and I don't see Google Domains as providing some kind of killer feature to make it worth it.
Honestly I think this will make the overall programming experience worse.
That's one of the things we get right because so many people around the state live in rural areas where school is a very long way from where they live. Many of them live on farms or ranches where their parents need those early hours to work and can't take their kids to school that far away easily.
There's always a lot of disconnect between folks talking about how the world should work and how it does work. Seldom does switching between those modes leading to productive conversations.
Assessing the future prospects of blockchain technology based on the performance characteristics of Bitcoin is like assessing of the future prospects of general computation based on the performance characteristics of the UNIVAC III.

As a factual matter, settlement costs are not fully embodied by transaction fees, and include such things as, for instance, financing and opportunity costs and the cost of supporting an organization that is more complex than it otherwise needs to be. If settlement delays were entirely eliminated, new business models would emerge that are not even possible under the current regime.

Don't tease me, is this real?

I honestly don't care whether they go with ST or DST permanently, just pick one and stop screwing with my circadian rhythm twice a year.
Then shouldn't twilight be starting around 5:30am-6:15am? It seems this would contradict your claim that waking up at 5-6 requires you to spend a few hours in darkness every morning, right?
Because it make zero sense for everyone to have to get up an hour earlier. And it makes no sense for kids to stand around in the dark at freezing cold bus stops every morning.
