I would agree with you in the general case, but I yet to hear any sort of sane explanation for why it is the way - and it is not like a typical tradeoff where something arguably worse would have been chosen otherwise, it is just a small semantic change to a keyword.

But its effect is huge, e.g. the prototypical usage of the keyword would be to unlock mutexes, but it is simply a huge footgun, see: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30253426
Which customer support? I've heard nothing but good things for the actual customer support you pay for ( Google One) as a consumer, and a mixed bag for the not-enterprise GCP support you kinda pay for.
It’s possible to hold your view and the view in the article simultaneously. Your role was to critique them. A friend’s role is to be friendly. It’s possible that sometimes someone will want detailed advice and course correction and sometimes emotional support.

For example you might have a different opinion of the phrase “run faster stop being lazy” coming from your spouse rather than your personal trainer.

Unfortunately, young kids circadian rhythms are pretty backward in that they don't change themselves automatically. They just either get up too early or one hour before too early.
> and not 1440 of them

Well actually there are 96 of them in practice, I think it's tracked in increments of 15 minutes since anything less is a bit meaningless.

Of course in reality it's continuous so there are infinite timezones, but the only practical thing we can change are hours so minutes don't get offset and make planning even more of a nightmare. If we used a more sensible base 10 time keeping one could probably do more.

> picture how annoying it would be if you crossed a timezone line on your way to your (or your child's) school

I'm pretty sure this happens in the US to people on a daily basis? It's the unfortunate reality of living on a rotating sphere that you really can't avoid if you cross country/state lines often.

> they try to be useful

I don't see how it's useful to keep west Spain 2 hours late to their actual sunrise time. It must be rather maddening.
Where do you live that a one hour shift makes any material difference? Where I am the time of sunset shifts by more about 4 hours. DST is an annoying band aid half arsed effort of a non solution.
Is your point here that cuil should not have been started because they failed to answer your question about revenue model?
This has been the impact for me:

- There's a 3 week span where the US changes to DST but my country don't, meeting times get hectic.

- My dog goes out at 6:30 am in the morning, 6:30pm afternoon and eats at 9:00pm. After DST changes, the poor guy gets all confused, and wants to go out at 5:30 in the morning.

- I do find it harder to fall asleep after the daylight time change. It disrupts my sleeping/resting for at least 2 weeks.

I am happy that the USA got rid of it, HOPEFULLY the Mexican government will as well, and fingers crossed, they also decide to stay with DST, otherwise the timezone differences will be crazy.
> I think teakettle42's objection

I'm convinced they know what the ICC is as it's even spelled out above, they just ignore the uncomfortable arguments.

> make climate change the issue

The ICC is the International Criminal Court [0], which is "Trying individuals for genocide, war crimes, crimes against humanity, and aggression". The US is not a part of it after formerly withdrawing about 20 years ago. It shares this position with other countries with strong human rights values like China, Sudan, Indonesia, or Israel.

Moreover the US has passed the infamous "American Service-Members' Protection Act" [1] (also known as the "Hague Invasion Act") which authorizes the President of the US to use "all means necessary and appropriate to bring about the release of any U.S. or allied personnel being detained or imprisoned by, on behalf of, or at the request of the International Criminal Court" and also prohibits the United States from providing military aid to countries which had ratified the treaty establishing the court. This has exceptions if the countries in question already have bilateral agreements with the US to the same effect. The US went as far as to criminalize anyone who works for the ICC [2]. None of this can possibly be in the interest of justice but only to protect the ones who violate human rights as long as they advance US interests.

Since the US does not itself punish or even acknowledge any war crimes commuted by them you can see how this is not a matter of "we can't have others punish our people" it's just "we can't have anyone punish our people". There's only one reason for the situation to look like this and that's quite literally to be able to commit war crimes with impunity.

If you were looking at things that put countries like Russia, China, Israel, and others at the exact same level, it's the ease with which they commit such atrocious crimes and go unpunished. But with "due process". That should tell you everything you need to know about their actual values, not the ones claimed on a forum by people who selectively ignore whatever doesn't fit their world view.

GCP does have support, but the things I've heard about it from are meh ( still better than Azure or OVH though).
My understanding is that CheerpX, but simulating a full userspace, can optimize all the way through system libraries, which are typically very general and have lots of code that is “dead” to your application. How would this approach fail for applications where the code tends to be more specific to the task?
How much does this optimization save in terms of executable size on realistic examples (i.e. a full-sized code base)?

I would naively expect that for
most functions you know too little about their arguments or the state in which they will be executed to be able to tell that certain branches will definitely not be taken. Especially since any function that has some mildly interesting side-effects (like loading and storing from a pointer or a class/struct field, or even _calling into any function that does that_) would seem to foil the analysis and turn large chunks of code into "unknown reachability".

Rephrasing, I would expect the set of basic blocks that can be removed just by essentially repeated constant propagation of statically-known function arguments to be pretty small. But I would be happy to be proved wrong if that intuition is not right.

Printf is somewhat of an exception, since the format strings are usually known at compile time, meaning that a lot of the control flow can indeed be deduced by compile-time evaluation, but for most functions I would not expect that.
It does support my argument. Unless you want to quibble about exact times and how 1959 isn't "the 70s".

Before 1959, Quicksort was novel. After that, it was something you were expected to know.

Knowledge builds on knowledge. I don't have to invent heapsort. I can just study the implementation. It's now part of the common knowledge we're supposed to have.

And if you think programming is just as sophisticated today as it was in the 70s and 80s, then I don't think there's anything anyone can say to you to convince you otherwise.

And that's kind of the defining feature of being Turing-complete. No language is more or less adept at solving problems as any other as long as they can replicate a Turing machine.

> Cause the situation on Linux is absurd! You pass some flags -L and -l to the compiler/linker, the linker links something and nobody knows what. Then when you run your executable it has to locate this something again, and you can only pray that your libc and binutils/llvm agree on search paths & order. In most cases this does not work, and you must manually pass -Wl,-rpath,/some/path to add a search path. Nobody guarantees that what the linker links is what the runtime linker uses.

The issue you're missing is that the build directory is usually not the location of the final binary objects. The actual absolute path of libfoo.so may well be in /builds/runner/foo-package-4df78af0/build/prefix/lib/libfoo.so, which is unlikely to exist on anyone other than the CI's machine (and even on the CI machine itself for too much longer). The actual location will usually be /usr/lib64/libfoo.so, but the library that is linked against may well not be there at the time of linking (particularly in the case where a package is building both a library and an executable that depends on said library in the same package).

What you really want is for the relative path to the library to stored in the executable. Unless what you want is to actually use the globally-installed library and not one you're building at the same time. There's no single solution that fits every use case!

> What about all the embedded systems out there, which do very important things with timekeeping?

I've written a few of those. Supporting not-DST basically comes down to unchecking the bit in the configuration where it says:

[ ] Confuse the hell out of the users twice a year.

Even if the customer themselves specified precisely how to handle the changeover once upon a time, they still get confused when it happens and the daily report has 23/25 hour entries, or the daily totaliser takes a mysterious 4% dip, or the date changes an hour earlier/later than expected etc.

I've never seen an embedded device with automatic changeover that didn't have some kind of configuration option to switch it off.
"It needed a week's answer, or none."

It's hard because some of the "easy questions" require a long answer - and sometimes you really ARE in a startup that shouldn't exist (or can't exist yet) - and your friends might be the people who need to pull you out.

But often, if it's someone who is "involved" or interested or even a co-founder, they really do have the question and want to know the answer - or at least be reassured that you've thought about it.

A startup is always in the strange place of trying to do something easy enough that a startup can do it, and hard enough that nobody has done it yet.
I was thinking the same. Quite sad really: if simply nobody else was using it for something useful yet, it should just be available... I hate that domain squatting is legal.

I'm fine with normal trade. I might use such a domain for personal use if this is my nickname or something, and if someone wants to have it and I want money for that, that's fine (it's annoying for me to move after all), but just buying whole dictionaries of domains... should be illegal for a scarce resource.
Good question!

> I did notice that Ukraine, like us, signed but didn't ratify the treaty, which I thought was interesting at this time.

It’s a little more nuanced, Ukraine formally declared acceptance of the jurisdiction of the ICC following Russia’s initial illegal use of force and armed conflict in Ukraine beginning in 2014.

Thereafter Russia withdrew their signature from the Rome Statute in 2016 the day following the ICC report on Crimea classifying Russia’s act as occupation.

"Conophytum pageae appeal to some collectors because they appear to have little lips. Hobbyists sometimes draw tiny faces on the plants and post the images to social media, fanning interest in China and elsewhere."

What a depressing reason to annihilate a species. Although anything to counter this is welcome, it seems a hopeless battle to address this from the poacher's end. They just keep coming back, forever, and in ever greater numbers.

You need to destroy the market. Block posts/users sharing this on social networks. China/Japan should launch national campaigns to "unteach" this behavior, and this applies to a very wide array of wildlife that is illegal to collect. Apply draconian laws (10 years in jail) to make a firm statement.

We need to fully reset our attitude on non-domesticated/exotic wildlife as collectables or pets. This trade serves nobody and destroys wildlife.

As your answer suggests, it's likely an MTU problem. From a quick tcpdump, news.yahoo.com doesn't do any MTU problem compensation in the tcp handshake. If your network is sending out a bad MSS on TCP, and there's nothing in the return path that sends back icmp needs-frag, you're not likely to get back any large packets from them (I don't know if they have path mtu probing enabled, or if it is, if it runs fast enough to be meaningful... probably not given your experience).

If your network is sufficiently messed up, the incoming SYN+ACK from Yahoo may encourage your client to send too large of a packet on the local network, which could be dropped without a needs frag as well, if you've got enough cookies, that can cause connection stalls early on.

From my time at Yahoo Travel, and the hostnames I get back from DNS, it doesn't look like news.yahoo.com is using a CDN; I'm getting geodns'ed to a load balancer in a nearby colo. The images (s.yimg.com) are served by Yahoo's in-house CDN though and get an edge box in a nearby internet exchange (I think; can't exactly tell).

The counting barrier in the paper I linked is meant specifically for shared memory multiprocessors, not distributed systems, so what you're saying makes more sense. Both the counter and the state are shared variables across all threads. This clearly doesn't scale well with number of threads/processors due to cache contention, but the idea is to have a "simple" barrier. There are a few barrier implementations that operate via message passing further in the paper.

But either way, the counter can never be 6 since the max counter is set to the number of threads, and each thread at the barrier decrements the counter. Once a thread is spinning, it doesn't care about the counter anymore, only the state. Once the last thread reaches the barrier, the state flips, and all threads awaken. Each thread maintains a local copy of what the "reversed state" should be to awaken. If one thread gets preference and advances to the next barrier, it will decrement the counter it reset and will spin for the global state to flip again. So even if it reaches the second barrier before any of the other threads awaken from the first, it will wait for the rest of the threads to catch up.

I think you are describing is what the radical candor crowd would call “ruinous empathy”, ie lying to avoid hurting their feelings.

There is a difference though between a conversation among friends and a founder seeking advice from a mentor. Telling a friend that their startup is dumb won’t stop them from seeing the idea through anyway, so I think the article is questioning what one hopes to accomplish by being generally negative.
Really they're just undoing a law that has had many unintended consequences. The court was just ruling based off this CEQA, so the legislature fixed the it.

Relationships on System carry several parameters that address your question. For example, in what population was this measured/what time period, a normalized measure of the statistical strength, statistical significance, the direction of the relationship when possible, the sign of the relationship, and a measure of the reproducibility of the evidence. You can read more in our docs: https://docs.system.com/system/how-system-works/relationship.... Our aim is to synthesize (or meta-analyze) all of this evidence and associated metadata in such a way that helps users take actions. An open causal model of the world, to use Pearl's framing.

Love the question re cybernetics. I am inspired by the writing of Mary Catherine Bateson on the matter. She has argued that the tragedy of the cybernetic revolution, which had two phases, the computer science side and the systems theory side, has been the neglect of the systems theory side of it. We chose marketable gadgets, she says, in preference to a deeper understanding of the world we live in.

It really is surprisingly good. I use it.

It's quick to scan and ignore things that aren't right, and it's either completely right or close enough that it definitely feels like a timesaver.

The best parts are where it's doing something long-winded but fairly straight forward (e.g. assigning variables). But it has moments of shocking ability with more complex things.
India and Sri Lanka use a 30 minute offset (+5:30 all year round). So does part of Australia (Northern Territory is +9:30 year round, South Australia is +9:30 standard time and +10:30 daylight saving.) And one Canadian province (the most populated parts of Newfoundland and Labrador are on -3:30 standard time, -2:3 daylight saving.) It doesn't cause any of these places any major difficulty. If the US were to adopt 30 minute timezone offsets, I don't see how that would cause the US any major difficulty either. Probably would break some buggy software which was written for US domestic use only and assumes timezone offsets are hourly, but buggy software can be patched or replaced.
They already change schedules though, we just launder it through the time “change” despite clear evidence of costs in both productivity and literal human life.
I guess it’s some form of nation-centricism that kills it. No country wants to change their dinner time to be 3am. Even if it’s just the number on the clock.

I find it super odd that we keep a record in of all the offsets of time and assume that everyone starts/finishes work and eats at the same regular interval as everyone else would given that the numbers on their local clock says the same as our local clock when we do those things.

So arbitrary.
You could also write "permanent standard time". Does the legislation include shifting time zones?
