Religious based government is bad all the way around. It leads to persecution of other religions and even sects of the same religion (Sunni vs Shia). It's a bad thing to have at the core of your government. This used to be a 1st principal in the USA but the lines are becoming blurred by alt-right ideology that is seeping into and starting to control the republican party. I really hope it has peaked and is on the down swing because there are finally some GOP people pushing back against a Trumpist coup in 2024.
> Existing libraries resorted to code generation a lot.

guess what generics is in a lot of languages? code generation! the files just aren't saved to disk.

IIRC on a podcast I seem to recall hearing that it was implemented this way for Go, at least for the prototype, and it seems likely to me that it is also done this way in production, but not with textual code.
Is that literally true?
This extra daylight in the evening is killing my babies sleep schedule - but I'm sure to enjoy it once they're older and they don't need such early naps.
> But research suggests that there is a neglected dimension of polarization, one driven by age: younger people are disproportionately liberal, and then drift steadily to the right, becoming just as disproportionately conservative by retirement age... “We can say, with a great deal of confidence, that people get more conservative when they get older—and a lot more,” says Chicago Booth’s Sam Peltzman, who conducted the research. “It’s not just a little bit. It’s a pretty big change over their lifetime.”

I'm all for either implementation of this (standard or savings); I have no particular skin in the game when it comes down to where daylight hours are positioned. Having lived about a decade in Arizona it literally never negatively impacted my life once.

Since moving I've come to participate in what seems to be the standard dread of moving hours back and forth. I either lose sleep and need to adjust my Circadian rhythm or I gain a one-off hour to... I dunno, lay in bed longer because I've already gotten my sleep?

The worst is being a gaming raid leader (and I'd imagine anyone dealing with globalized scheduling), though, because every time we do this I have to reach out to my gamers in other states/countries who don't play collective clock madness and ask them to adjust to those of us that still do for what appear to be largely outmoded "reasons".
I remember something that there was a technical issue with that "compatibility"... Was it something about power ratings or the chipset/MoBo becoming such a bottleneck that this was essentially useless?

Or am I just thinking about an entirely different thing...?

It really does not fit the narrative of what AMD did with Zen so far, that's for sure.
It's not just America either... plenty of blame to go around.

The Hill article[1] says it won't go into effect until November 20, 2023.

> The proposal would not take effect until Nov. 20, 2023, to give airlines and other transportation industries more time to adjust to the change.

But we switch back to standard time on November 5, 2023. Just to get two weeks of that until we switch back to summer time permanently?

Well, that isn’t actually fair. You and I may not live on a farm, but there is still plenty of “farming culture” even in America and I don’t think it is fair to dismiss their concerns out of hand. I just know that if we’re going to pick a bad optimization, which one I prefer as a city dweller that enjoys the local beaches.

And the way I personally always dealt with it is by having clocks that set themselves and barely noticing when they changed, or in some years, not even noticing at all unless someone else brought it up.
Show HN: Live AMA on Synthetic Data Going on Right Now
If you're a person with a normal day job or who goes to school (i.e. practically everyone), an extra hour of sunlight in the morning is wasted on the job or school; an extra hour of sunlight in the evening is more likely to be on your time.

My seasonal affect disorder kicks in hard when we leave DST every winter. This is the first bit of great news I've heard all year.
This is my dream. It's just a number. But getting the general population to wake up at say 2130 and go to sleep at 1030...well, good luck.

Also destroys the idea of a 9-to-5 job. Make it start at :30 if that's better for the longitude.
They’re equally constrained systems, even if they are not used for exactly same things.

I care for the constrained resources and the form factor. CPU architecture is just a secondary item in my list.
I'm not a fan of a prescriptive view of language. But at the same time I'm also not a fan of letting morons decide the course of things. Just because people use phrases wrong, or can't be bothered to learn how to spell doesn't mean the "correct" spelling should just change to accommodate them. Why doesn't everyone else get a vote? Otherwise what's the point of spell checkers, or dictionaries, or English class at all?

Having a standard to hold our selves to is not having a prescriptive approach to language. Prescriptive language is what the French do. They have a government office that decides the official rules of French and official documents have to follow them. For example, even though everyone calls a Computer a Computer pretty much everywhere in the world with variation on spelling, the French government has to call it an ordinateur.

The point of language is to facilitate communication. To do so there needs to be a standard. You don't have to legally enforce it, it should be voluntary. Freedom of speech and all that. But I reject the copout that "language evolves, deal with it".

When I went to report vulnerabilities in two packages, I got a prompt "are you the maintainer of this package?". I hit no and it told me to go inform the maintainer.
You’re talking past me, particularly harping on the blog you found from 2014 despite me directly addressing it in my reply to you (and using it to question my recollection), so it’s clear we’re not going to agree. I’m also not a fan of being told events and discussions I was a part of, firsthand, and pissed off about, firsthand, is me failing to remember the truth accurately; that’s really insulting, fundamentally, and is not an approach you should take with someone sharing their lived reality, especially when you were on the paying end and not the employed end. The rumors you heard corroborate. It happened. Notice the usually-HN-active DO folks haven’t jumped on me yet? They know it happened, too.

Again, I left on horrible terms. That’s really important to remember as you think about my motivations. I’m not here to score points for a side, which you seem to have inferred.
Not for me. There is no ?: ternary operator. Having to write 6 additional lines of code for each tiny conditional sucks. It's not frequent, I think I've only had a single case in a few years where I had difficulty working around, but when it happens - it's not fun.

err := h(cond(x) ? f(x) : g(x))

vs

var temp T
if cond(x) {
temp = f(x)
} else {
temp = g(x)
}
err := h(temp)

Hopefully, this can be improved with generics, e.g. now it should be possible to create e.g. `func Coalesce (type T) (...args T) T` function to simplify common scenarios.
That is the idea, but such an idea is not objectively correct.
> Parents need to drop kids off [...]

This is far from universal, and is a problem we should address wherever it is the case. It's bad for plenty of reasons, with one of the largest being that it prevents us from having schools operate during times that work well for children and teens.
Fixed one of these yesterday!
Were we in the same jails?!

I think this shit is universal across county jails. Prisons get more litigation, but jails are hard to litigate in.

I fucking hate no pillows, 3AM breakfasts.

I sued and got the breakfasts legally changed to 6:30am. That got me another 10 days in the Hole.
Night owl and average night enjoyer me thinks this was the right choice.

I want more daylight after work to enjoy. I know the counter claim, "but you could start your day earlier".

All I can say is that this change works for me. I love summer nights, having dusk arrive at almost 10 PM. They're the perfect days.
How out of date is Congress.gov, which still shows this bill as having last action in March of 2021 and the status is "referred to committee" which is where all the legislation I care about seems to go to die.

the idea that DST happens for the farmers has always been pretty funny to me, because the one province in canada that doesn't observe DST is the province that has nothing but farmland.
+1 to Porkbun. I think cloudlfare sells domains at-cost so if you want something cheaper than they might be worth looking into.

But I have been a happy porkbun customer for a few years and they are my go to recommendation to anyone who asks.
> The point is benefits go to a very small minority

60% of Americans enjoy watching football according to https://www.statista.com/statistics/1108544/american-footbal....

Even the 33% who strongly enjoy isn't a small minority. If a team decides to leave because the local city won't build them a stadium, it's very reasonable to think a majority of the local residents will be upset.
There really isn't a way to make things nice in Seattle as far as time zone manipulation goes. Overall, I think permanent DST is the best option since it means avoiding biannual clock changes while avoiding it being light at 4am during the summer (as would be the case for permanent standard time).

However, my opinion on this bill is that states should be able to decide what is best for them. Currently, they can only use DST switching clocks biannually or go to permanent standard time. They should also have the option to go to permanent DST. Honestly, they should just give states full control over their timezone. Let them go to UTC if they really want to. The only stipulation I would make is that having more than one timezone per state should require approval from the federal government (to avoid making things too complicated) and to put limits on how often it can be changed.
Literally doesn't mean "figuratively". It either means "literally", or it is used for emphasis, like "really" or "deeply" etc. But it is never used with the express purpose of meaning "figuratively", i.e. "not literally".

That is, no one is saying "I am literally dying to know" to try to communicate the fact that they are not, in fact, dying to know. Instead, the difference between "I am dying to know" and "I am literally dying to know" is one of emphasis. The second is almost perfectly equivalent to "I am really dying to know" or "I am very much dying to know".

By contrast, "I am figuratively dying to know" would imply that you are specifically not dying to know, which everyone understands perfectly well.
My personal pet peeve is when people write the Standard Time acronym when scheduling cross-timezone meetings, despite the fact that it is Daylight Saving Time. (Eg. "I'll call you tomorrow at 4pm PST.")

In the past, I've gotten paranoid that they may live somewhere that doesn't observe Daylight Savings, but I also don't want to seem like a pedant by bringing up their mistake.

I'm curious if this change will make this sort of thing more or less common.
There are benefits to being associated with a global superpower in regards to quality of life improvements. Obviously they are not worth the cultural and human costs that Tibet is currently experiencing, but if we can get true autonomy, I don't see why you wouldn't want both. I say that as a Tibetan in exile.

There are some Tibetans that don't think true autonomy is possible with the CCP and thus still want independence though.
Was Nazi Germany democratic because Hitler was elected? I doubt it. Once you preclude being able to remove the leader, which seems to be the case de facto or de jure (I don't know) you stop being a democracy.

Russia is another one of those countries that had some kind of election in the past but going forward you can't really see them being fair elections.

Of course people are free to elect eg the Christian democrats as often as they like, so long as they can choose otherwise. Japan and Mexico IIRC had people electing the same party for decades.
And yet that's still not how languages actually work.

That choice will hopefully always be true in a free society.

I founded System because the biggest challenges we face in the world — from COVID to climate change — are systemic, yet our data and knowledge are organized into silos. I believe this fundamental incongruity makes it impossible to think, plan, and act systemically. As a result, we are stifled in our ability to reliably predict outcomes, make decisions, mitigate risks, and improve the state of the world for everyone.

System is a shared tool for systems thinking — and, we hope, a springboard for collective action.

We have great respect for freebase (see comment below on metaweb) and WA. System offers a different lens on data and knowledge rooted in the statistical associations between things in the world.

Congrats on the launch!

I've been very interested in this field since the original Kinect came out and it was discovered you can easily get the raw RGB+D data over USB. I made a bunch of prototypes and had ambitious plans to make a depth-enabled short movie for my film school MA degree project, with a player on the original iPad and head tracking for a parallax effect. (A project much too ambitious; I never finished the player or the movie or the degree.)

IMO you should hire an in-house artist right away, assuming you have funding. Right now your Featured Content section looks like demo footage from academic papers. For someone uninitiated, this content doesn't really present the potential of immersive video.

You should have someone with enough artistic vision and technical competence whose primary job is to come up with new exciting demos of your technology. That person will need patience and a start-up mentality because the content production pipeline for something this cutting-edge is probably very foreign to most artists. But it would make a huge difference in how people can understand your project.

When SMS was first introduced it type UK, it was free at least for some carriers (Orange). Data was a traditional mobile phone call and therefore very expensive (we are talking even pre-GPRS, it was WAP or nothing so far as I recall). There were some IP-over SMS projects.

Oh look another person who goes to bed too early and rises before the sun. Yet again they want society to cater to them even though the rest of society prefers to rise later in the day.

Can’t we all just accept that everyone’s body is different and has different preferences. There is a measured Gaussian distribution in rise times for humans like everything else.
Influence of a problematic use of the internet on depressive symptomatology
It's an ongoing dis/misinformation campaign of Republicans/reactionaries/conservatives, to attack in four ways (afaict): To claim that Democratic governments are failures (note they don't attack cities in GOP-run states); to discredit the enormously popular cities, which are living symbols of the success of democrats through their enormous popularity, to attack minorities, and to create a sense of crisis and disruption (something they always do - try to think of the last time those groups projected calm), which invites a strongman government response (such as under Trump).

I've read things about other cities that I know personally that were complete nonsense. Data shows that crime is still pretty low overall, and crime increases have been spread evenly between large cities, small towns, etc.

Don't let them divide you from what you love or make you scared. That is their goal. Go visit Seattle and see.
Who cares when it's light out. Just stop changing the time.
For context, BC, Washington, Oregon, and California have all passed state bills to move to permanent DST but need Federal approval per U.S. law. In short, they did get approval from the time zone who will be first to make the change, and the support is pretty overwhelmingly in favor. The North American west coast will change as one to full time DST if this passes the House and is signed by the President.
Maybe you could share your experience with email that Cloudflare forwards?

I understand that they don't offer email hosting but do let you configure email forwarding. If I do that and forward my me@example.com email to something like GMail, Apple Mail, Hotmail, etc..., do my replies look like they come from me@example.com or do they come from the account the email was forwarded to?

Edit: I think I found the answer[1]. Replies come from the account the email was forwarded to, not me@example.com. That seems pretty useless for anything but receive-only accounts.

I read a little fast, he didn't scan with Python, he just used Python to analyze the results. My bad.
I don't think violence actually works to solve the problem, however.

In addition to being barbaric, it also has the tiny problem of being ineffective. You can't execute an ideology, you have to out-meme it.

The concept of an above-the-law class has a long and beloved history because us social human beings seem to really love (and require!) having a very clear and well-defined social hierarchy within which one can orient oneself. Most of us would even prefer clarity about the hierarchy and where one resides within it to elevated position within a murkier hierarchy.

You can't get rid of a monarch just by stripping them of their power and installing a parliament; the poor will keep polishing their crowns and spoons for free until the cows come home. You literally have to construct a better meme to replace the fundamental concept. You'll have to out-James Bond James Bond (and Batman and Superman and Jack Bauer and Jason Bourne and friends).

I used to think that the US constitution was an explicitly fraudulent meme promoted by the ruling class (I think Washington was the largest landowner in the colonies?) to usurp, and maybe it was, but this Lincoln quote made me think a little more deeply about it:

> As a nation, we began by declaring that 'all men are created equal.' We now practically read it 'all men are created equal, except negroes.' When the Know-Nothings get control, it will read 'all men are created equal, except negroes, and foreigners, and Catholics.' When it comes to this I should prefer emigrating to some country where they make no pretense of loving liberty – to Russia, for instance, where despotism can be taken pure, and without the base alloy of hypocrisy.

Even Lincoln pointed out we were full of shit. I suppose he's right that it's better to fake it 'till you make it than to not give a shit at all.
This is exactly right for me too (American here). I much prefer having daylight after work instead when I wake up. I don't care how outside looks like when I'm taking a shower and waking up. I really like this change.
> 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.

Locks are mandatory when you're updating data that does not fit into a single atomic type. You cannot use N atomics to create atomic update of a data structure that must be semantically atomic across its N members.

Seems like I misread what was stated in the article.
Assuming you have the skills, you can, but I wouldn't be surprised if it had buffering issues on the client side.

You'd also have to re-implement access controls and probably integrate a not-terrible video player. There might be open source software that does that, but nothing springs to my mind.

I've got the skills to do it, and $300/month seems high, but not unreasonable. That $300 a month frees me from doing updates, having to wake up at 3am because the site is down, having to transcode my own videos for lower-bandwidth clients, etc. It's probably roughly on par with paying someone else to do all of that stuff.
Very interesting way of expressing your preference.

Personally, I'm agnostic. I prefer to be an early riser most days and it does suit me better on the whole. But it's also great in the summer to have more time in the evening to socialize with my friends who work a 9-5 and are only available on weekdays after work.

Do you have any friends that you would like to socialize with in the summer on weekdays after work?
How often do you "want" more fiber? It's about being healthy. Waking up in the dark for 3 straight months isn't as healthy as the alternative.
I actually like this as a compromise. Otherwise it's just a matter of how many people prefer leisure at what time.
It actually sets "standard time" to what is currently daylight saving time, and deletes DST.
