Thank you so much. We'd love for you to join our Slack community (link on system.com).

Great question. There is no ground truth that we are modeling System after, i.e. there is no causal model of the world out there (to use Pearl's framing). So I'm not sure we can know how far along we are epistemologically. More practically, for the next few years we have plenty of work to just represent all the existing corpuses of scholarship! The truer and arguably more meaningful test of progress though is how decisions are improved — for users, for organizations — that use System.

Quality is evaluated and presented using a variety of parameters like strength, significance, and reproducibility (full documentation here: https://docs.system.com/system/using-system/investigating-re...).

Re completeness, as I wrote below, System Search results are not necessarily comprehensive — but they will be. System is in the early stages of its development as a public resource and you should expect that knowledge will be missing. The knowledge base will be constantly growing and improving and evolving as knowledge does. Our community will play an important role in relating what we expect or know should be related.

Most people don't have the privilege of deciding their work hours.

> Permanent DST seems like wanting everyone to be above average.

Not at all. I'd simply rather have more daylight in the evening when I'm awake. To me, any daylight before 10 AM is mostly wasted, as on the weekends, I don't even wake up until 10 or 11 AM. Granted, I do acknowledge how much of an outlier I am.

Simple fact is, most people would rather have the extra daylight in the evening, even if that means that "noon" no longer has the special meaning of "The halfway point between sunrise and sunset" or "The time when the sun is highest in the sky". I'd rather that time be 1 PM.
It wobbles around depending on my mood. At the most basic level, though, enough to pay off the mortgage, do a few fun things, and create a fund to draw down at 3.5% per year covering two good incomes – so somewhere in the $6-8m zone. If I were sick or had to stop working for some critical reason though, obviously that would drop pretty quick given lack of options.
Good thing you didn't fly.
The government wants everyone to have more daylight hours after work, since that's correlated with higher economic activity.

From the government's perspective, they cannot force all companies to shift their working hours, but they can shift the clock. They're changing the abstraction once instead of changing all concrete implementations.

This change doesn't make a difference for most of us in tech, since we can usually set our own hours. But it does make a difference for shift workers.

The collapse of the Russian economy will be felt by all the world's economy. We just don't know how hard it will be yet. Hopefully the world's bankers will be able to figure out how to soften the blow. But the Russians will really feel it. The economy will fall into a deep recession with all the social turmoil that goes with it. People tend to gravitate towards leaders that tell them that they will save them. Those usually turn out to be some kind of hard liner that leans toward dictatorship. In 1998 there was an Russian economic crisis which brought Putin to power. This time a similar leader will come to power if Putin does not survive the chaos.

The irony is that if it collapses the western countries will need to help Russia recover. Otherwise the country will fall into an authoritarian regime which will be a huge problem that will need to be dealt with in the future.

The collapse of the economy is a big deal both financially and politically for everybody.
The US has killed a whole lot more people and committed a whole lot more war crimes and crimes against humanity than the USSR did in the past 70 years.

Possibly more than any other country in the world.
I think the problem is that people don't understand what "permanent Daylights Savings Time" really means.

If you ask "Would you like the sun to set later in the evening?" most people will say yes. Who doesn't like more sunlight?

If you ask "Would you rather go to bed early and wake up early, or go to bed later and wake up later?" most people will choose to stay up late and sleep in the next day. There might be some disagreement from early risers, but consider when most people choose to sleep during the weekend.

Everyone thinks of Daylights Savings Time as "yay, more sunlight," without realizing it also requires them to wake up earlier, relative to their circadian rhythms.
Yep I have that too.

That is a really good article by the way, thanks for sharing.
You may think these reasons are negative or depraved, but they are none the less legitimate reasons that motivate real people. Why should we pretend they can't possibly be a factor?
> What's the best way to rapidly move around without having to count lines?

Don't? Just turn on line numbers with `set nu`. Add it to your `.vimrc` for a default. In a pinch where you need to copy/paste graphically in your terminal and don't want the line numbers on? `set nonu` to turn them off again.

Sibling comments also have great solutions/different ways of navigating.

I'm the person you replied to - and I'm in Norway. I'm north. In July, the sun technically goes down but I can read outside at night. In December, there is only about 4.5 hours of sunlight - 10:00 to 14:30. Folks here are not doing anything outside after work because of daylight because most folks work during the daylight hours.

It isn't so bad and you get used to it.

If I go much further north, I'm above the arctic circle and it gets even more extreme.

Daylight savings time, up here, doesn't help with light at all. It merely makes it easier to coordinate time with other European countries.
You might wanna check it out. Things like code quotes and expand/collapse would be cool to add to an IRC client. I think some clients already support emoji as it's just UTF8?

It's common for IRC users to use IRC from a terminal client on their desktop. If they have a remote server they'll ssh into a box and use their terminal client there. They'd also use a screen session to keep their IRC client running 24/7 so they can keep receiving messages. Or they'll keep an eggdrop bot on a server somewhere, which is basically a sorta IRC proxy that they connect to from any IRC client and can keep their user online in the background.

Okay - serious question - with current building codes - how does anyone tear down a house in SF and rebuild anything - let alone split a narrow lot in 2 and build two duplexes on that?

The duplexes would be like 30% stairs, right? This seems like a $5M+ investment to end up with 4 500 sqft 1-window studios (at best) that would be absurdly cashflow negative, and none of them would sell for $1M... SB 9 economically does not seem to work out for almost every lot in SF proper.

So if SF doesn't want anything to happen - wouldn't the best thing be to just keep things as they are?

The SF proposal similarly seems like garbage. The vast majority of homes cannot just magically become quadplexes. There's not enough stairs to pass fire code. And, importantly, it's impossible to build enough.

On another note - isn't part of SB 9 that lots cannot be joined? If you want to build a practical multifamily that actually adds density - in SF - isn't it basically necessary to join AT LEAST 3 lots?

LA has bigger lots - so there has been tons of 3-storey tri-plexes that are quite livable being built. The economics are there.

Unless building codes change - how does SF do anything like this?

The real solution seems like to massively incentivize 5 over 1 mixed use complexes. Then you end up with cities closer to Berlin & Paris & Madrid which are all substantially denser than almost all US cities AND more livable.

50% doesn't strike me as exceptionally low. I've sold things for much cheaper because it's better than throwing it away, and still I get faced with tire kickers who keep trying to negotiate it then insist on some other pound of flesh when I don't budge on price. It's why I avoid used item marketplaces.

Yeah, did a five year stint at a company before going contract.
The API provider should have documented the change ahead of time. However they were still returning an error, even if a new error, when the payment failed.

There should be a catch-all for errors and that should certainly not default to 'success'.

Now, if the API provider really did change the API to return something new that is not an error this is indeed trickier. In general good design is to check specifically for success and to deem everything else a failure, which avoids this sort of surprise.

Courts can only serve as checks and balances in three things:

1. Determining whether an executive action is consistent with legislated law.

2. Determining whether a piece of legislature is consistent with a more important piece of legislature (Constitutionality.)

3. Determining how two contradictory pieces of legislature are to be interpreted in practice. (A superset of #2.)

A court rules on the current state of law. Based on that ruling, the legislature can change the law as it sees fit, within the constraints that it operates under.

They are not a back-door way for people to subvert the power of legislature to draft laws those people don't like. If they were, they would be utterly absurd, because without the power to draft legislature, nobody would have a check or balance over the courts.

That's a bonus.

Node and NPM parted ways with idiomatic JS a long time ago. Most packages in the Node ecosystem are pretty much, "What if a bunch of people who clearly hate JS nonetheless decided to spend most of their time and energy inside files ending in .js (or .ts)?" So to the extent that "idiomatic ways of doing things" really means "idiomatic wrt the Node ecosystem" and not "idiomatic to JS as it was meant to be written", that sounds like a win.

No, despite your assertions to the contrary, we have addressed your arguments. Please read the links provided.

To those reading along the thread: qiskit is engaging in a very common apologetics approach intended to sow doubt on obvious things. This has been used by Russia as of late in their media, and has a long and storied history among high-demand religions attempting to create a false worldview. It proceeds by asking insincere "simple questions", ignoring responses, demanding more evidence than what was provided, then claiming failure of response because no one has supported their worldview. It often proceeds to stories of conversion from a different worldview and claims of persecution for their worldview. It's effective when people don't have time to evaluate the merits of the claims.
Of course you can't guarantee that the library will get installed to the directory you think it'll get installed to, since there's no unified installer system for all Linux distributions. So even a relative path doesn't necessarily work. The best you can do is hope that the Freedesktop filesystem hierarchy is being followed, but that forces installing software for all users at once instead of per user, despite Linux supposedly being a multiuser OS.
it doesn't matter, just start building.

The day that the time shift changes is constantly in flux, since the 1960s, before most embedded software was written. If you were writing embedded software that changes time zones automatically, unless you were very dumb, you made the date of the change configurable, given that we were on DST for a few years in a row in the early 70s.

So yes it's a lot of work to find them all, but they should all be configurable to just set the next Standard Time shift to be the max(datetime).
Your argument is an argument against any time zones at all. It could equally apply to abolishing timezones and switching to UTC time everywhere (or maybe fractional Julian Day/JD numbers).

> People are so disconnected from the world that their abstractions of it become more real to them than actual reality. I don't think it is a good thing.

But then you do the same thing. :D There is never a jump of 1h: the "daylight" time changes gradually, so if you want to move 1h one way in 182 days, you only need to note how today, as you woke up at the same time as yesterday, it's now 7 - 1h/182... And it will be 7-2h/182 the day after, and... That's very confusing.

This is not an argument for DST, but an argument against any "artificial" adjustment (both DST and the one you propose where you wake up at the "same time" but it's suddenly 1h of a difference in wall clock time?).

Basically, it's easy enough for a region to decide on the most suitable timezone (eg. with or without DST of today, or even something entirely different), and keep that on for the entire year. If you end up waking up at night for work and that bothers you, make sure to affect that regional decision when it's being made. If, like me, you care more about having daylight hours after work is done, then vote the other way. Ideally, find work that will have flexible start times (this is generally hardest for institutions dealing with plenty of people like schools and government administration).

I've been working from home for 7+ years, and I mostly let the sun wake me up. I never would have been able to do that in the winter when I was commuting, but it is very nice.

I am totally in favor of this though, I was ranting about it to a friend on Sunday.
I'd rather have only two hours from coast to coast. Of course they want to make us all get up earlier all year long.

This is something I say whenever Google AMP gets brought up.

To your average non-technical user, Google AMP is a godsend.

AMP pages are faster and more responsive than non-AMP pages. Even without the pre-loading, they're an order of magnitude faster because what you can do has been slimmed down to something far more sane.
sure, except obviously sunrise at 6AM and sunset at 6PM.
> The assertion that the time is "not someone's business" is incorrect. The time is everyone's business.

You misunderstood my meaning. I understand that everyone is concerned and affected by time. What I meant is it's not in their purview to push such things on the public.

Once again, the rest of the world works perfectly fine without the added complexity, so it should be proven with strong evidence rather than vague arguments that the added complexity is worth it. The rest of the world works perfectly well without DST.
A registrar cannot prevent you from transferring for something that’s not directly related to a domain dispute, that’s an ICANN rule, and a rule of most ccTLDs registries. No registrar can hold you hostage, or that could backfire horribly for them. Meaning they could get their ICANN accreditation revoked and basically get shutdown, and/or paying huge fees.
Pretty much. It'd get below freezing some days when it was clear and then snow. But that only happened a handful of times. I think Berlin is probably colder than Hamburg. Most of the Fall/Spring was 8C and raining in Hamburg.
> Because, aside from that noon should be at noon

I disagree. Noon should be whatever noon's offset from UTC should be.

We should all use UTC.
I'm from the US - the midwest. It wasn't a big deal catching the bus when it was cold/dark there, either. We had lights at the bus stops, and half the time it was in front of the house. No big deal. We had coats, too. There are multiple programs to make sure kids have coats in the US, though they don't go far enough.

Most places in the US are pretty safe, by the way, though folks will swear they aren't.

I really hope the UK does not imitate this. I moved from France to the UK over ten years ago. According to geography, France and the UK should be on the same time zone, but in practice France is using Germany’s time zone. In France thanks to the perfect combo of DST and the wrong time zone, you’re permanently shifted by either +1 or +2. The net effect is almost never see the sun in the morning when you wake up if you have to abide to standard office/school hours. When I moved to the UK I realised I was much less tired and happier to just wake up with the sun (at least for part of the year).

I don't care about whether there's more sunshine in the morning or not (that's why I have blinds!). What I do care about is the fact that DST introduces needless complexity into the task of keeping time.

I know it's stupid, but I just think DST is really unnecessary because of the fact that we have to adjust the clock on our microwaves, ovens, and cars. Not to mention, because not everyone observes DST, it leads to a lot of additional complexity when scheduling international meetings.

Overall, regardless of your preferences, the world would be better if we didn't have to adjust the clock for no reason.
Financial models tend to use interest rates to discount future income streams. Interest rates have been very very low lately, even rates going far out into the future.

So where before a £100 income you get in 10 years might have been worth £50 now, you might get £95 now instead when rates are lower.

Incomes from music would be inflated by low rates.

The other thing that is very hard to model is that songs might become unpopular. This is probably more of a downside risk though I suppose it's happened that a song becomes more popular due to a new recording.

If you're an artist it makes a lot of sense to cash out given these two things. Rates cannot get much lower, and chances are your songs will go out of fashion.

Now why does anybody want to buy them? Well just like before the GFC people are looking for all sorts of bonds to sell, and this is one of those unusual deals you can pass by your investors that will make them feel young again, dressed up as a sound financial investment. Of course there's also actual income being made, so it's not a complete scam, but the logic is like any other financial instrument that has long and uncertain future flows.
It's not much of a length. It's set it and forget it. Way cheaper for me than $10 a month, that's a whole extra banana every month.

I shouldn't have to pay a monthly recurring charge to get some company to undo their kneecapping of how my hardware and software (that I own, outright, code and all according to GPL) works just because their business model isn't compatible with me being in control of what's mine.

It's no small thing, just brushing off $10 a month is hubris. For half the worlds population that's a third of their income. And for some of us other people, I don't want my money going to google, period. I don't care if it is 10 cents a month, I'm not paying a company to solve a problem they created on purpose in order to charge for the solution.
This is whataboutism. No relevance to the issue at hand whatsoever.

Not really. They aren’t formally defined, but there’s pretty wide consensus even among Go detractors about these qualities.

Not when there are plenty of people willing to think differently and reap the benefits.
