After that date we would no longer transition away from daylight saving time. It would not cause an immediate transition. There would be one more transition in the following year to get back onto daylight saving time. So the effective effective date is really march of 2024.
One thing I like to point out is that DST is longer than Standard Time. DST is March to November (~8 months), Standard Time is about 4 months.
If you've never heard of your states senators, that's pretty sad. I knew who my state's senators were when I was like 6, or at least the senator for my district.

There's only two of them, you can definitely learn about them.

This does not make the rest of your comment untrue.
Sadly, torture is an industry. Much like so many other aspects of our intelligence agencies, the job is often done by third party contractors.

The most famous is Mitchell Jessen and Associates, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Elmer_Mitchell#Work_as_a... , but it's not the only one. Margot Williams published articles about an airline company used to send people to black sites across the world.
The point of that 'switching back and forth' between standard time and DST is to let the clock approximate a constant time for dawn, which in turn should lead to the most efficient use of daylight. Permanent DST just ensures very dark mornings around the Winter Solstice period - December and January especially, Nov and Feb to a lesser extent - which in turn means more stress (since it's a lot harder to wake up with no natural light) and lots of car accidents as people commute to work. It's a pretty bad idea all around.
No, changing school and work times only changes school and work systems. Changing the entire clock time adds endless complexity to computer systems and society as a whole. It's like global vs local vars, the scope is too much.
Commitments and treaties can and have been broken throughout history.

The motivation to save the world from utter destruction gives greater reason than ever before to not start WW3... at least not over Ukraine.. treaty or no.
RIP companies that stored future events as timestamps.
Would you have agreed that Poland should have surrendered to Nazi Germany if it meant they stopped their conquest? France? How about UK? After all if you look at the terrifying number - 75 million people - any sacrifice of sovereignty is worth if it means you can prevent those deaths, no?

Let's make something very clear - there was literally nothing that any country could have done to just "make the Nazis march back to Germany" other than beating them to a bloody pulp, and I don't believe there's anything realistic that can be done right now to make Russia march back to where they came from, other than showing them we won't accept such aggression in modern day Europe. One of their demands at the start was that Poland and other Baltic countries that joined NATO most recently should leave it, they would call off the invasion then. That's not a reasonable request and it will not happen, and saying "but it would prevent all these deaths in Ukraine!" Is just dishonest and frankly quite offensive to Ukrainians. I don't know how much clearer I can be.
The text of the bill shows the latter: EST/CST/MST/PST/HST/AKST shift by 1 hour.
Because the Kennedy Center isn't just an Opera House, but a venue used for any number of events, both public and private.

I'm with you on "Cats" though.
Oh that will be a massive mess. So now the poor sod writing libraries have to take in account the offset changing in 2023...
Yes, but at least it is consistent.

I live right by the border, on the Utah side, and driving through Arizona and Nevada is always so confusing!
Because there were so few people. The inverse of your question is why did technology seemingly explode beginning around 10k years ago? And the answer to that is simple: the Milankovitch cycles had brought about a warming trend, bringing an abundance of resources.

It is interesting to notice that sedentism and agriculture happened at the same time. The modern theory is that agriculture practice led to sedentism, but at the very least its unclear which came first because the earliest confirmed harvested (ie non wild growing) varieties of grains from the middle east come from approximately the same period as the beginning of this warming.

However, once not only agriculturalism but pastoralism (and even beyond that nomadic pastoralism, and the domestication of the horse) had proven their usefulness to maintaining scaling sedent populations, the populations exploded and naturally, bored human beings with brains and full bellies sit around and think of different ways to do things.

tl;dr: they were unlucky wrt technological innovation

I’m sad to see Chris step down from CSS Tricks, loved his designs, content moderation and writing style.

I don’t know if I trust DO as his „successor“, I’ve lost way too much money on their platform for me to consider them trustworthy. And that’s coming from a person who now uses Oracle Cloud.

Until Google comes out and segregates actual and false positive ToS violations such that it doesn't kill your entire Google account, I can't in good conscience use any additional Google services.

This began TEN YEARS AGO when Google+ "real name" violations disabled your entire Google account. Gmail, Google Photos, AdWords, everything. This is completely unacceptable and has never been addressed or rectified.

If you use Gmail then your Google account is simply too large of a single point of failure to risk further exposure.

What happens when a false positive disables my account? Can I still transfer my domains out? I'm not convinced that's true so thanks but no thanks.
Firefox history has a limit though and I'm pretty sure you've hit after 4 years of browsing. This is why I maintain my own history index.
Absolutely. Tons of labor goes into patching systems for DST and supporting and testing switchover. My experience is in the healthcare sector.
Those students must have been real proud that they passed the exam with high marks. Now I wonder what type of exams are designed for the drone operators.

IMVHO: you can base64-encode anything so any "REPL-alike system" (classic CLI included) can run over SMS BUT it would be probably less expensive buying a satellite connection for boats (C or Ka band) and relevant hw...

Just to check news a classic radio, or again in many area of the world a satellite dish for C or Ku bands works far better, emails might be more problematic for html messages, having at home a small server that pipe a classic mail (1) UI over SMS is easy but html2text converted mails are generally not good. Status check I do not know how much can be useful: you can know that's something goes wrong but you can't do almost anything so...

What 3rd world country do you live in where kids can't walk to school or the bus?
We did this before, about 50 years ago. Going in, close to 80% of people supported permanent Daylight Saving Time. After experiencing a single winter, that dropped to close to 40%, and it was repealed. Looks like we may be doomed to repeat the experience.

I never expected a web host would buy a content farm, let alone one about a subject that, let’s face it doesn’t directly depend on one.
My personal pet peeve is giving times in their local time zone when they know full well everyone is going to be in different time zones. Convert it to UTC so everyone can just worry about their offset.
Considering how frequently time zones around the world change, any OS or software that doesn't auto update them from a standard list at this point deserves to break.
Since "How to Learn Nix" mirrors the (bonkers) presentation order from the official documentation, I am afraid to say that you will not learn how to do this until part 32, deep into the Nixpkgs manual.

https://ianthehenry.com/posts/how-to-learn-nix/builders/

The Nix manual just doesn't talk about this. But the Nixpkgs manual will, eventually. Here's what it has to say:

https://nixos.org/manual/nixpkgs/stable/#sec-pkgs-mkShell

That's it. Nix Pills does cover making development environments in chapter 10:

https://nixos.org/guides/nix-pills/developing-with-nix-shell...

But Nix Pills is not really a "bite-sized guide" so much as a "let's motivate and invent the Nixpkgs genericBuilder infrastructure from scratch." So it doesn't really show you an example of how to write shell.nix files.

Writing reproducible dev environments per project ("shell.nix files") is the main reason I use Nix. But Nix does not... make it very easy, out of the box. There are two more posts (separate from the documentation-reading sections) that will explain how to make this more ergonomic:

- https://ianthehenry.com/posts/how-to-learn-nix/saving-your-s...

- https://ianthehenry.com/posts/how-to-learn-nix/nix-zshell/

(This is slightly unfair because if you're using Nix to build software, not just create a development environment, you get nix-shell for free. mkShell is sort of a special case of "I don't want the final result in the /nix/store; I just want you to put me in a shell with these packages installed." It's not a case that Nix optimizes very well for, even though it is my primary use case.)

Finally, obligatory caveat that everything is completely different now in the "new" (unstable, flakes-based) Nix interface:

https://ianthehenry.com/posts/how-to-learn-nix/nix-develop/
Any software using an IANA zone (e.g., America/New_York) shouldn't have any trouble. But any software that uses zone labels like EST might do the wrong thing, since EDT is being renamed to EST but will still have EDT's offset.
the wild part here is that the picture of the Starbuck Partners with "For Here" Hot / Iced set are holding the same stuff I saw when I was part of a team that opened a new SB store in ... 2005 or 6. I was fresh out of high school and thought it was cool that we had that option, and the trainers and managers basically told us to trash them. Most stores locally decided not to support that model, which was easy because there was no posted "psst. You can order your Frappuccino for here and it'll come in a smart-looking tumbler" signage anywhere.

I hate the way "What the customer is expected to want" is held above any testing for risk of scaring anyone off.
This is going to be my headcanon for why people do this (though it's more likely laziness/carelessness). This usage seems to be becoming more and more common, so this will help me pretend it makes sense and move on.
They were not so peaceful and introspective when they were actually in power. This is basically a CCP talking point at this point, but it is pretty true that the system they governed was essentially a serfdom-powered society.

See the sort of punishments that were common for people who tried to organize the serfs in any way: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lungshar
When upstreaming it, it might make sense to give it two mechanisms: either process every function, or process only functions labeled to use it. Then, a frontend can experiment with things like automatically detecting which functions would benefit from it, using language-specific mechanisms. Or, worst-case, frontends can provide attributes to tag functions explicitly, and libraries can tag functions known to benefit from this.
It's very easy to get started, and easy to progressively add services.

The most important distinction is between a domain registrar and a domain reseller. As far as I know, most start out as resellers (Namecheap started as an Enom reseller. AWS still resells Gandi). Being a legit registrar is actually fairly expensive.

Reselling complexity depends on the upstream registrar. Most of the big ones have reseller programs, including white label services. TakingNames.io uses Name.com, which doesn't require anything official. I just sell domains using Stripe for payments then use the Name.com API to buy the domain. Then I forward DNS changes using their API as well.

Currently I default to using Name.com's nameservers, but users can set custom nameservers and I may run my own eventually.
Spend less time complaining about those whippersnappers being on your lawn and listening to rock and roll. Maybe you too could be fun and enjoy life.

Is it enjoyable for most people to get up and be at work at 7? No. Why tolerate it just because parents generation tolerated it? Old people also tolerated polio. People aren’t more productive at one time versus another, especially if they’re being forced against their will to lose sleep for no good reason.

There is nothing wrong with starting work later- especially if you’re still getting all your work done during the day anyways. Young people who roll into work at a healthy time probably outperform all the curmudgeony old people who are miserable anyways. I start work at 10am and get more done than coworkers who start at 7. It’s just simply false to assume earlier is better. I perform way better now than when I arrived early.

We should be encouraging people to care less about their work and more about having fun. Work is not the purpose for your life. There is nothing wrong with drinking with friends on a weekday or playing Fortnite in the evening.
Yes, with the top-3 EU members being Germany, France and Italy; which are getting parts of the pie.

I'm not counting the Poland and Ireland mentions. Those already have Intel sites and at least in the case of Gdansk those expansions are already underway.
I don't dislike reading stalinist statements on HN, but for information, the deportation of Crimean tatars started before 36, and started being touted as antinazism barely prior to Barbarossa. And of course the survivors would help nazis.
This is the first time I've heard someone express the idea that there is a silent majority of people who would prefer earlier sunrises to later sunsets, very interesting! Intuitively I disagree but I have no evidence and I'm sure at least one person will dislike the change.

For me though, the real pain wasn't any particular time zone, it was the abrupt change from getting out of work with some daylight left to walking out in darkness. Gradual changes are almost always easier to deal with.

I have already started having trouble understanding open source code using generics. I can see the upsides of having generics, but have lost the enthusiasm with which I used to browse Go code. I am still a junior engineer, so maybe it will get better with time.
Doesn’t that mean you should prefer standard time? DST moves the clock forwards, so the sun won’t be as high at, say, 7am.
Well you know what they say..
I can't recall any others (edit: aside from obvious things like laws relating to trade agreements or defense cooperation), but this one makes some sense to keep the time zones consistent. Also since I made that last comment I learned that Ontario has a similar plan w.r.t. NY. So it definitely appears Canada will switch when the US does.

A service that was supposedly free forever has been shut off with only a few months notice, an aggressive price structure, and no help to migrate data. Poorly communicated and badly executed - par for the course for Google these days.
Okay, but most folks who want to change to permanent DST don't care about the effect on computer systems. They want more light in the evening.

Your proposal would not satisfy the primary goal of the proponents of this policy. It would also still require one or more coordinated, discrete shifts in the schedules of schools and workplaces, which would likely be more complicated for computers and other systems than the status quo.
IMHO only, not an expert/informed analysis: Buddhism can be a risk to Chinese harmony if left to a separate authority (the real Dalai Lama). The Chinese grand social experiment of a strong state can only really work if they are relatively culturally homogenous, whether in Tibet or Hong Kong or Xinjiang or Taiwan. Dissent plants the seeds of change, and the CCP's system doesn't work when there is too much diversity of values. It's uber-collectivism in the name of the nation.

China very rarely does anything in the name of short-term profit. Their government doesn't work on 4-year competitive cycles like ours does, they plan and orchestrate in decades, and to them it's safer to conquer and assimilate other territories while they are still underdeveloped than when they become too powerful, either economically (like Taiwan) or culturally (like Tibet) or both (like Hong Kong). Having a puppet religious master under their control, along with all of Tibet's future economic output, is reason enough to seize it, even the real gains won't be realized for another few decades. The artificial legitimacy of Chinese-controlled Buddhism would greatly expand their cultural sphere of influence both inside and outside their immediate borders.

If you go back to last year you will see a lot of AMD fanboys arguing such a thing, based on pure conjecture. One person replied to one of my comments saying 5000 can not run on 300 series BIOS because of [insert-technical-hypothetical-nonsense] reasons. But suddenly... it can!

https://wccftech.com/amd-warns-motherboard-makers-offering-r...

The reality is that AMD fanboys haven't woken up to the fact that AMD is no different than Intel. All the same marketing and segmenting games exist on AMD. They were the underdog and then suddenly, they are on top and acting just like Intel.

I feel sorry for anyone who actually use(s|d) this. Google have proven time and time again their services cannot be trusted. Why anyone would actually use this is beyond me.

I'm sure there will be some play at vendor lock-in and definitely holding your data to ransome; but worse is the uncertainty this service will exist for any meaningful length of time. How long before you're mysteriously locked out with no way to log back in and no one to contact to sort it out?
You described some example of Theocracy's that performed brutal acts against those that were perceived as "others". USA is responsible for many deaths and is constantly invading countries. Since using examples of bad things a government type has done is enough to say that the type of government is bad, democracy in turn must be bad. /s

Any form of government once formed is hard to change. How many governments do you see regularly changing from democracy to communism to theocracy to etc... Theocracy is a perfect valid form of governance.

Religion's just like governments have multiple sides to them. Which side the rulers decided to focus on changes which actions are performed.
For comparison, I'm curious what the percentage is excluding Tor.
Doesn't DST make it darker in the morning and lighter at night?
The way they do it is just so self-destructive. Changing the definition of timezone, not just changing to existing one... That is so lovely corner case to remember forever... Idiots...
It will be funny to see what happens with Alaska, they might have just forgotten about the state

Same thing happened in Chile a while back, the entire country was left on "summer time" which then meant that the southern tip of Chile had very, very little sun during the winter during the mornings, the "proper day time" was notoriously "shifted"
That just means that the problem gets worse as the latitude gets farther away from the equator. It may be pretty unavoidable in such places, but why make it pointlessly worse?
Hmm. No idea, actually. Incoming texts run through Twilio.
The executive branch gave itself the authority to murder US citizens abroad by decree without any judicial oversight based on a declaration of a "targeted killing policy" (Anwar Al-Aulaqi being the first). Seems like those constitutional rights are getting weaker without any legislative or judicial review, no?

I live in Des Moines Iowa. I would say our experiences are pretty similar based on how you describe it. I also agree I don't find that any of these people are stupid or anything like that they just are stuck in a, I don't know the right word, socioeconomic rut that they either don't know how or have no desire to dig themselves out of. And some of them are actually quite intelligent I know a couple of people their ability to learn new information to memorize it to regurgitate it and to postulate assumptions based upon that previous knowledge would make excellent engineers but they have no desire to do that. They want the money and they want to increase their status but they think they'll do it by winning the lotto or finding a billionaire who will take them away on their yacht or something insane like that.
I see what you did there.

I wonder how many bugs will pop out because of this. Time is already pretty complex… and it might force some old systems to need updates.
Graphcore is just in the AI space, and Imagination is a company that ARM outcompeted to the extent that they barely exist anymore.

SiFive is a real competitor, but they are much smaller and offer only a fraction of the IP portfolio of ARM.
