Most likely, but the explicitly racist China Initiative did a terrible job of catching them, because I surmise the goal was to disrupt legitimate Sino-US education links in general, which in some people's estimation is more significant than catching some spies. Can't really stop PRC from hacking institutional DBs from across the ocean, or transmitting knowledge back via 1000s of research interns, but can certainly dissuade leading educators from participating in PRC thousand talent exchange programs.

True, but bitrate is only one part of the equation, and not the biggest factor for creative work. Preserving color space, frame rate, etc are of higher importance to anyone other than editors and the most-technical of DPs.

"lot of people aren't even awake at 7 a.m."

I wonder what the actual percentages are. It's probably a thing where each group can't believe that there's a significant number of people in the other.

"that hour or two of morning light is really just wasted."

Only for people who wake up late. There could also be benefits to aligning one's circadian rhythm to morning light.
I think, while this might have been the perception up until a few weeks ago, the invasion of Ukraine has shown the world what a true "bully" on the international stage looks like. There will always be cloistered individuals who think that anyone who isn't "pure" (for an increasingly variable definition of pure) is evil. That opinion is absolutely fine to have until reality strikes.

The bubble of people who post on HN have been living in that cloister for the last decade or so, not realizing what goes on in the world. At the end of the day, the US has made it a policy to defend and promote democracy across the world, and has actively done so, through it's support of international institutions and protection of democratic norms.
Strong typing + monorepo is a superweapon in my view.

I enjoy being able to make a change to some common type, open up a "Monorepo.sln" panopticon and instantly see every project/system/service/library/et.al. across the entire organization that would be impacted by the change.
>I'm asking for your opinion

Students should be cordial and have spirited debate free of jeering and taunting. That used to be the standard.

>because you are trying to distract from unacceptable behaviour by saying "but the left..."

This is a non sequitur. I am not trying to distract anyone, I'm pointing out that if the standard is to exclude those who jeer, taunt, and attack the individual in the hopes of cowing them into submission, then this would lead to large portions of campus leftist being punished.

>Thank you for confirming

That wasn't a confirmation, you literally proved my point for me.

>unable to have discourse without blaming people uninvolved in the situation via whataboutism.

This is by definition not whataboutism because I am not attempting to discredit the OPs position.

QED.

Thank you for confirming that you are incapable of having discourse because you are incapable of understanding basic concepts like whataboutism and are T R I G G E R E D because someone called out leftists as those partaking in unacceptable behavior.
Wondering if you have a nice microwave, stove, coffee machine and thermostat or none at all.
Because public polling regularly shows legislators do what donors want, not voters.
War is not an extension of "diplomacy by other means".

War is a crime.

The war crimes I listed were a catastrophe for everybody connected.
The entire idea of DST is that it provides a nice balance between the two: still reasonably light in the morning in winter, and move some of the very early morning sunlight to the evening in summer.
Honestly, for the IB work that GS does, I can definitely see why Solomon would want everyone to show up. Given my zero hours of experience in that field, they could probably execute deals remotely, but managing a hybrid environment in this situation would be a fiasco, especially from a cultural perspective. I can also see him thinking about this from a fairness perspective; either everyone is remote, or nobody is.

That said, it's a worker's market right now in many industries, and many companies are going remote. Honestly, I think this puts GS in a vulnerable position, as other IBs could just double-down on remote/hybrid work a thing and steal employees that way. Unless the industry agrees with GS in that everyone should be on-site, no exceptions.
They're fine if they go to bed early. That's the actual discipline part, going to bed early and getting up early is harder than going to bed late and getting up late. But overindulgent parents let kids stay up so they never learned good habits and now they're entering the workforce and whining about it.
You're talking here about memory barriers, but I was asking if atomic writes are in use.

Atomic writes have nothing to do with memory barriers. On modern platforms atomic writes are available without memory barriers of any kind.

Memory barriers do not cause events to become visible.

Only atomic writes do this; and so the question is not whether barriers are in use due to _Atomic, but whether atomic writes are in use due to the use of _Atomic.
Then I can't joke that "it's 5pm somewhere"...
Both.

As I said, they aren't useful at all in the real world legally, only on unregulated exchanges where only mostly criminals are able to swap their tokens for fiat from their scores of ransomware raids and scams.

I would be in favour of regulations needing to kill this part off as Monero and Zcash isn't accepted on most of them. Not to mention you cannot even pay your taxes with these crypto tokens.
No, Wikidata is an open database of semantic definitions and relationships. System is a public resource that aims to explain how anything in the world is related to everything else based on statistical evidence. Semantic vs statistical is the difference.

System is possible today because of Wikidata and the advancement of open knowledge: All definitions on System are sourced from Wikidata. System will contribute back to the open knowledge commons with a new, free, open, and living knowledge base of statistically-based relationships between things in the world.
I would like to see this change in conjunction to moving to a 32-35 hour work week. As a developer it is still often socially difficult to take time during the day to do errands or go to appointments, and so I am constantly reminded of the times when I simply could not take the time off.

I'd love to live in a world where bankers and dentists and optometrists all kept different hours, so the bankers could get glasses, and the dentists take out loans, without having to drop everything to do it. With smart phones this is somewhat more tenable. I don't need to memorize when the dentist is open, so there is less immediate value in reducing the world to a small set of common numbers.

So You Want To Abolish Time Zones: https://qntm.org/abolish

What I've gathered from these and similar articles is that time just kinda sucks in general, and no matter what we do we're going to suffer.
I thought it was a well executed joke myself.
Changing the clocks doesn't change how much daylight there is. Just go outside earlier.
Stalin was indeed violently antisemitic. See: The "doctor's plot", "Trotskyism", "rootless cosmopolitans", etc.

Russian nationalists do indeed idolise him. But he wasn't Hitler.

That aside, I urge people to look up Stepan Andriyovych Bandera and see that this is yet more Kremlin disinformation. Other Eastern European countries have also had to grapple with the Fascist connections of their so-called freedom fighters and war heroes. Ukraine is not unique in this respect. Hell, even Winston Churchill (a figure revered throughout today's West) was deeply racist towards Indians. Does this reverence towards Churchill mean that the whole West needs to be denazified? Does the Southern US need to be denazified because some of its streets are named after racists like Robert E Lee? I thought that the pro-Putin people were against the "woke mob" taking down statues of controversial figures. Is Putin now woke?
I see a lot of people arguing for and against DST. But, I can't imagine this is being done for anyone's comfort. DST is associated with higher consumer spending.

This bill "originated" in the Senate. Bills only have to originate in the House if they raise taxes [0]. All other bills can originate in either the House or the Senate. While there is a virtually identical piece of legislation in the House that pre-dates this one, it has not passed the House yet.

Question from a dumb American: Does Canada have a lot of laws that only go into effect if the US or nearby US states do the same? I've never heard of that before.
Sure, then move the start times of the school to a safe time. The time zone changes kill people.
No, we should get rid of any shift of the clock, and then set schedules for work and school based on the sun. The start and end times of school and work should change during certain parts of the year if there is concern about daylight.
What northern states, Sesquisaskatchewan?? In any case, you make up for that with the fifteen hours of daylight in the summer.
I'll take the bait here and be the one to point out that the usage of literally to mean "figuratively" is recorded in dictionaries at least 100 years old, and there are probably even older examples of that usage.
It would be nice if the title mentioned which country's senate it's talking about (particularly as the title is made up for HN rather than taken from the source page).
Living on the western of a time zone poses a higher health risk
Rising with the sun is much more natural than getting up when it's dark. Most people need time before work, so we need the sun to rise a few hours before work. I learned some discipline and started getting up early without sugar and caffeine, if the young people today would rather complain than do the same that's not my problem.
You have to understand that most people start work at 8 and many start earlier. For this majority that means they are on the road by 7:30 - which is rush hour. This means they are probably awake by 6:30 or earlier in some cases. So they already begin in the dark. Now imagine that going for even more time, until 8:30?

At least this way you get some Sunlight before you're at work and some when you're done.
> That act refers only to the ICC, which is not a sovereign state

The ICC only has authority in territories where a sovereign state grants them authority. Hence the act, a threat to invade a sovereign state if that sovereign state follows the legal process they've legally decided (by signing the Rome statute) and prosecute an American citizen

> and only prosecutes cases that the sovereign states are themselves unwilling to prosecute.

Cases that the sovereign state defers to the ICC as their established legal process.
Understanding if someone actually is more valuable (or less) than the slot they are filling is hard, and requires actual knowledge and time on the ground working with someone.

Which is expensive and doesn’t scale very well, as it requires you also keep a positive company culture, hire+train and keep good managers, etc.

The reason why corp goes that way eventually is because defining specific slots and requiring people to fulfill the requirements of those slots ‘or else’, and paying them as expected for those slots scales better (for certain definitions of better anyway), requires far less skill to identify if someone is or is not fulfilling those requirements, and allows central negotiation and better leverage for compensation which scales better for the company too.

It tends to not work great for creative areas, but it does work pretty well for boots on the ground crank turning. Since it’s relatively easy to quantify how hard and much the crank was turned, and often to what quality measure.

Which sucks for humans, but works.

At some point, that stops working too, and at that point the blatant ‘cog’ thinking has also made everyone jaded and shitty.

Depending on the level of market capture for the company /organization and competitive pressure then defines if it will implode, or be the next ‘DMV’ or worse ‘Comcast’, where it is somehow ‘functioning’ despite itself.

The US has a ton of these industries right now, but due to various still working market capture elements, we’re still putting up with them. Everything from Banks, Telcos, major ISPs, etc.

Frankly it seems to be to the backbone of the US economy right now.

One big disadvantage those orgs tend to have is they often suck at being adaptable. Most of the org is just fighting internal inertia, and the moment the direction needs to change it can fall apart and become actively counter-productive to itself or delivering value.

And considering how many consolidations and buyouts have been going on with cheap money, it’s about time for the stack of cards to implode a bit. Which would result in mass unemployment unfortunately, as 36% of Americans work for megacorps now, and a great many smaller companies depend on their business.

Which is great for startups and companies that keep a useful workable culture with decent management through this mess. I don’t know of any off the top of my head right now though.
Somebody once said to me “you can’t just make up your own words!”

I asked where, exactly, the words we have came from?
You forgot a full stop 8^)
Not radical at all, I'll happily take either too.
which helps customers. hence why competition is good.
Be careful with spin locks. We used to have one in the ZeroTier core. We pulled it due to a crazy insane bug where it would hang on single core machines and another one where it would run away on CPU usage on massively multicore machines. These bugs had the same cause. Think about it.

Don't use spin locks unless you have profiled and have a clear understanding of the contention factors involved. Also be sure to test on single core and massively multicore.

Also look at whether you can use atomics. Atomics are better than lock guarded things in almost every way. The only time locks beat atomics is when you are updating a bunch of things in which case it may be faster to lock once than to update 10 atomic variables.

Message passing can also win sometimes over concurrent access even if it involves more copying. Profile and think.
It strongly depends on your latitude and your longitude within the time zone.

There were always going to be winners and losers in this situation.
No one cares about physically changing clocks—that's a minor annoyance at worst. I care because I get jet-lagged twice a year for no good reason. I've missed both my morning meetings this week because my body does _not_ like getting up earlier. As I get older it seems to get worse.
Why? I would say a large number of computer people owls, meaning they get up late and go to bed late. Permanent DST means you have to get up one hour earlier forever. Seems absolutely terrible to me.

It's also stupid from an astronomical point of view.
It takes time (investment) to change time... this bit of consultation will likely save a lot of stress for the people implementing this change.
When do we see this take permanent effect in California? It feels like this has been decided many months ago but why is the implementation in limbo?
You don't have to change the clock to change when you wake up.
Some of it absolutely seems like fluff or stating the obvious. That being said, the majority of the organizations out there do not walk the walk. Especially in product management, the actual product or output lacks a soul or purpose. I'd say that the majority of traditional companies and startups all suffer from this problem.

I've even worked at places with successful products where this mindset is missing, and the success is by accident or proxy to more solid endeavors.

Alignment with vision matters too. Too many companies are like many-headed hydras, where a role like Engineering SREs understand the value proposition and missing pieces of a product or offering better than the actual product management team and executive sponsor.

It's easy to say it's remedial, but it's more difficult for companies to actually live it and be successful because of it. Source: I seen't it.
that's covered in the article lol
When you end up with bills called things like the "Patriot" that whitewash the dangerous capabilities of the laws and at the same time create a name thats immune to criticism.

Obviously ending DST isn't like that, but you have SOPA, EARN IT, etc, etc.

I believe this kind of branding should have no place in legislature.
I just grit my teeth and remind myself how exclusive is the club of believers in English Logic.
That's not really true... with permanent DST, instead of it getting dark on the 21st of December at 4:30pm it will now not get dark until 5:30 in the afternoon. (I am not really that far north, but that's sunset on the solstice for me)

It's also nice for me personally since my circadian rhythm seems to be on 'Summer' time, all the time.

CA, OR, WA and BC were all on the same page wrt to doing this so this just removes one of the blocks from making it happen.
The keyboard seems to be the weakness of the DevTerm, which is a shame. This review was typical:

"The keyboard is just OK. To be honest, it was the only part of the device I was a bit disappointed about. The keys are small, not spaced apart enough, and can be hard to press." [1]

> It's good that it's going away because switching DST to ST or vice-versa is correlated with a huge economic deficit and an influx of health issues.

It's not "and vice versa" - the change to DST has a slight negative effect, the change to ST has a similar slight positive effect on these indicators.
Same here! I primarily use linux and MacOS and have bound caps lock to escape for both of them. I rarely miss caps lock, it's better to keep your voice down online anyway ;)

In theory, this adds at most 1 hour of darkness to your day, regardless of when you wake up.
Watching Americans freak out about post-8AM sunrises is surreal to me. The sun doesn't rise until 8:45 during the darkest times of the year here in the Netherlands and its really not much of an issue.

Whether standard time or summer time is the better choice here is something I hold no opinion on, but the sheer hysteria some people here express is very overblown.
Sure but inc in addition to the fence also issues the required reads and writes.
you have a very weird mix of arrogance and blinders going on here. looking back through the thread, your one consistent argument is people are being 'duped' thinking they'll be 'wizards' by all these earnest, helpful tutorials... and that vim is __not__ hard to learn.

It's simply not the case. Maybe it was the case for you. Maybe you purchased a vim book and didn't become this mythical hacker wizard. maybe vim seems absurdly simple to you because you are a genius. I don't know!

But I do know this - other people have different contexts, different knowledge, different experiences than you do. When you stomp around angrily and arrogantly denouncing a perfectly innocent thing like a vim tutorial, and show zero indication that you understand that other people find things valuable when you cannot see that value... it just makes you look like a fool.

I'd put my money on the notion that very few, if any readers of HN are going to be impressed by your furious denouncement here - rather they are only going to see a weak fool shaking his tiny fists at a perceived slight for no special reason. Maybe they'll chuckle. Put me down for $20 on that action.
I don't disagree with you at all, I think you missed my point. We should decide when we want people to be in light and dark, and not shift numbers on a clock to match that.

Interesting. I'm curious how code generation is/was used to work around the language not having having support for generics? Or was this something specific to Graphql?
There are objectively prescriptive (codified) languages.

In Slovakia we have laws giving a certain public institution the responsibility to define what are the proper rules to use the language, including maintaining the dictionary of all the allowed words and their meanings.

Anything beyond that (with the exception of e.g. scientific terms) is objectively incorrect slovak.
Is it society's time-keeping system that is at fault, or the school system's start time? Cuz I kinda think organized school systems with rigid start times are a later development.

Related question: I do hour-long, 4-10 party video conference calls about once a week. Each one might have between 10-200 viewers.

This seems like a good area to get screwed, ie, pay a huge difference between a COTS black-box solution and just doing it myself. Last week I started playing around with setting up a RTMP server.

But hell, I'm still back to bandwidth. Are you saying there's a way to directly cache realtime streaming video on the cloud providers, skip the store-and-publish route entirely?

One thing I was amazed with was the huge amount of money a company could spend going into this area without doing some serious research. There are too many options and too many variables for most non-tech folks to consider.

No problem if you don't want to answer. I thought it might be something other HNers would want to know.
I don’t think they will. There’s no incentive for them to do so, and there’s absolutely monolithic inertia behind “nine-to-five” in most places on Earth.
