> Destroying monogamy

>> I think we're finding out now just how bad an idea destroying it was.

>>> In what way?

I do not wish to interrupt a pleasant conversation evolving in the
replies, but think what people see as an attack on monogamy is really
an attack on all human relations over the past 60 years. Parents send
the kids to boot camp, kids send them to a "care home". Stressed out,
underpaid teachers turn education into training for the test, students
cheat and complain about their crap tutors. Bosses treat their workers
as farm animals and employees see their bosses as inhuman
tyrants. Everywhere extreme neoliberal individualism has atomised and
alienated people from one-another. Monogamy (between any partners) is
just one more casualty of this process. Divorce used to be a serious
soul-searching matter. Now you can do it by SMS in your
lunch break. Life partners who should love one another "In sickness and
health" treat each other as economic ladders, emotional punch bags,
and trophies. It's not that reification wasn't always in the air, read
Jane Austen, but today that's often _all_ there is.
The problem with daylight savings is that people generally go to bed later, because the sun influences what time we feel tired. For adults with a flexible schedule this may be OK, but for children it is a disaster, as their school start time does not change.

India is basically doing this experiment in real time with their one-time zone policy. Children on the west do worse from an educational standpoint because the sun sets later, yet school starts at the same time.

This was widely covered in the news a few years back.

Interesting. Btw, by support emoji I mean things like ":rocket:", ":fire:", etc do what they should: using emojis by copy pasting or using a system emoji picker gets tiring
Fair enough. I thought your text was only vaguely suggestive of an alternate timeline, and was just clarifying (and almost said so). :-)
Standard time just sucks. If you work or do after school activities, you simply stop seeing the sun in the wintertime during the week. Its set by 5:30pm when things have wrapped up for you, and it rises just as you are getting into work or school. You spend the entire day indoors and don't see the sunlight until clocks change in the spring.
Yeah, it's really just a way to talk through cloud architectural choices when you're designing for cost: committing to reserved instances for VMs (goodbye, eternal soul -- for at least the next three years), minimizing your data retention or migrating through storage classes for bucket data, and ruthlessly optimizing your use of per-usage services (bucket ops, API calls, serverless functions, and charge-per-op databases like Firebase, to name a few). Bandwidth and network services, however, are insanely expensive for what you get, show up all over your service architecture, and are hard to forecast, so they like to jump out of dark corners at the end of your billing cycle and mug you. (The ever-invaluable Duckbill does a nice job of laying out all the places where AWS levies its bandwidth tax: https://www.duckbillgroup.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/dbg...).

Depending on what your application is, this may never be an issue, or, if you're pushing heavy file and content traffic, it could form a huge chunk of variable costs that you need to figure out cost recovery for in your business model.

(All this gets upended if you're on something like SFDC or Dynamics, though, where costs looks nice and forecastable until you get to disk storage, where their pricing models appear to be put together by the kind of guys who usually present their invoices alongside a menacingly-brandished lead pipe.)
If they did it all at once. But it would be totally reasonable for the company to say shift it 15 or 30 minutes a week or make other concessions like having everyone switch on different days based on a shift schedule or whatever.

They could also tie it to a vacation where people tend to shift schedules anyway. Like “new hours after the new year!”
Browser in the Browser (BITB) Attack
I’m interested in this question as well, but not to eliminate a specific acquirer but any acquisition.

A few ideas I’ve been playing with:

1. Put the IP into a trust, like Ben & Jerry did.

Ben & Jerry worried that their acquirers would corporatize their brand in the name of profits, I.e. substitute with poor ingredients, reverse decisions designed to be ecologically friendly.

Their acquirers did that.

They effectively sued and regain control of the company.

Liability is a massive deterrent, but the ability to enforce it is necessary.

Very telling that even with an enforceable ability to reverse the transaction the acquirer still played the game they said they wouldn’t do.

2. Make it an employee owned co-op.

Employee owned companies are incredibly stable and unlikely to be acquired because the employees know they will be disposable as soon as they are acquired.

3. Make it customer owned, like Vanguard.

4. (Potentially) structure ownership using a crypto token that gives voting rights to holders. Dfinity is a pretty cool example of this experiment. Important to mitigate brute force overthrown by majority token holders.

I have never met nor heard of a founder who was happily acquired.

The team leading acquisitions has only one job, get you to sell. No one “owns” fulfilling on the promises they make on the other side.

If you want to sell, it’s fine.

But if you care about anything more than an exit, it’s heartbreaking.

I’m very interested to see what other options people may find.

Thank you for the fleshed out answer! These are the sorts of considerations and solutions I was looking for. The first scaling step is probably the most informative of all though, is it possible you could point me towards additional reading about how developers have handled that first scaling step/the decision making behind what should be prioritized to go in the limited cache space (naive example: localStorage in js). Even if you can't, I really do appreciate what you've shared already!
I would love a little stationary riscv computer like this, which I can plug my own monitor and keyboard into. Does that exist?
The answer for a few of those is easy: desync them by ±3.5 hours and then let them drift evermore.

If you don't use the 6pm feature it doesn't matter if the time is accurate. I have a rice cooker that's permanently blinking 12s, and two TVs that I have no idea what time they're set to because I stopped updating them for DST and there has been a power outage or two since then.

If you're unlucky and _have_ to have everything in sync then you've chosen your pain, so good luck to you. =)
And in the spring us devs can end up with NonexistentTimeErrors.
Because actions in society have to be coordinated and done in a certain order. What happens when suddenly your kids school starts an hour later but you still have to be at work at the same time? Many many things are based on routines at a set time each day that people plan for. If there’s going to be a seasonal change, it needs to be coordinated to not cause massive inconvenience. That’s what DST does.

Some of the people are talking about how it affects the kids going to school.

Honestly, having grown up part of my childhood in Saskatchewan... daylights savings time was never a thing I had to deal with really. We had our own time zone.

But the few years I was in Alberta during my school years, those days after the hour removal were just dreadful. Having to get up at what was yesterdays 5:30am to take a school bus at what was yesterdays 7:00am in the morning to be able to get there for todays 9:00am... up to 30 minutes early... was pure and unadulterated BULLSHIT.

Half the morning classes I was too tired to ever learn a damn thing properly, even with a good amount of sleep.

Posting to say that I don't recommend ctrl-c without understanding that it's not equivalent to esc. From the docs:

> Quit insert mode, go back to Normal mode. Do not check for abbreviations. Does not trigger the InsertLeave autocommand event.

If you don't use abbreviations then there but if insert-based plugins aren't working as described, this may be why.

Of course you can solve this with `inoremap <c-c> <esc>`.
I'm the same way. If you haven't looked into it, you might want a "sunrise clock" of about 10,000lux if possible. This assumes you don't have a partner who would be bothered by it :-)
I run in the mornings and the change this past week made it ridiculous... I get up at 5:30 and get out for a run by 6:00 and it's not dawn until about 7 AM. I got really used to getting to the nearby beach right on time to see a beautiful sunrise before heading back. Hopefully, it'll pull back soon.
Do you finish work before 5:45pm? The sun would set earlier than that until mid January in NY, and until mid February in SF. And end-of-work would be the time you start outdoor activity, not finish it, so in practice it would be practical to do outdoor activity in the afternoon for 1 month or less.
Sorry you’re not American. At least not in the way the word is used today.
People in Hawaii and Arizona seem to be doing just fine. Hell, have you heard about how the daylight cycles work in Alaska? They generally somehow don't complain about it much.

The time change is super inconvenient, both as a regular person who doesn't like futzing with the oven clock, and as a programmer for whom it is pure madness to try and comprehend all the rules and edge case when converting between time zones.

p.s. mdavis6890, I find myself wanting to leave spiteful words in response to your post. Upon inspecting this, I accept that these feelings are on me. You haven't really done anything. I think it stems from feeling like trash due to the hour time shift, combined with my own deeply seated desire to live in a slightly less nonsensical and insane version of reality. In this present version we seem to be forever saddled by the bullshit of y'ore.

All I want at the moment is to stop being subjected to time zone shift fatigue without the benefit of getting to travel somewhere.
This is much better for children imo. During my childhood the sun rose as I got into school in the winter (~7:45am) so I was still waking up before dawn, and was setting or set by the time I got done with extracurriculars and my parents finished working (~5:30pm). In other words, for half the year I would simply not see the sun or have any sunlight hit my skin unless time was explicitly made for that during the limited daylight hours on weekends. It's no wonder so many people are vitamin D deficient when they spend half the year as a troglodyte.

In the end, almost all persons wake-up time are dictated by the rise of the sun. Not in the sense that you always rise with sunrise - that makes less sense the more north you go, but that the day rythm is highly dependant on the rythm of sunlight. People are strongly opposed to wake before sunraise, so most time schemes try to minimize that, without having darkness way too early. The typical day schedules are arranged with the idea, that the sun is highest not to late after noon. Permanent DST will have an obvious consequence: times will shift. Work and schools will start and end an hour later. You won't get more sun after work. TANSTAFL

I used desktop mode on Firefox mobile on Android which prevents the redirect and renders your app at a desktop resolution (and changes the user agent to look like a desktop browser).

There's also :qa for "quit all files" - I guess this is just another modifier, but I never use "a" in any other context.
They mean 1 hour earlier relative to the sun cycle, and they are correct. Because the sun strongly influences our circadian rhythm, this is the correct frame of reference, from a health standpoint, not wall time.

If you get up at 8 every day, you're getting up ~2 hours after dawn (depending on date/location). When DST hits, 7 becomes 8, and you're getting up ~1 hour after dawn.

Where are some interviews with credible sources? Also, this person's life is in the hands of their captors; they will say whatever is most likley to keep them alive, including what their captors tell them to say. Generally, it's illegal to put POWs in that position.

Yes, because now it gets dark at 6:30pm instead of 5:30pm and you get an hour of sunlight after work or extracurriculars to absorb vitamin D.

Just Launched Ryde Carpool
We're six college students and we built and launched this in 2 month to date. California college students commonly take the bus, the train, and even use Facebook carpool groups to find and offer rides.

Imagine when booking a flight if you had to browse through both passengers & captains, flights going the opposite direction, and past flights. You wouldn't use that airline for long.

That's a Facebook carpool group.

With Ryde Carpool, we're trying to enable students to decide where they go, when they go, who they go with, and for how much.
In recent years I've become more and more worried that work on RISC-V is just a way of empowering non-democratic governments the world over by giving them an escape hatch out of western controlled IPs. Yes it's better that these things are not controlled by big companies and yes this should improve innovation in the hardware space but what are we trading off when we get that benefit?
Eliminating DST would mean that. But this bill makes DST permanent, which means that nominal noon will forever be "real" 1pm, which means sunrise will always be one hour later than it otherwise would be.
I'm saying it's never about the kids. Most schools start too early, and nobody really cares. You're talking about inconvenience for parents, and yes, that's what's driving these decisions.

How did you learn to do these things? There are many chances where things could go horribly wrong.
I mean I had to wake up in the dark anyway during childhood even with this time. The sun would be rising as I got into school and would be set when I got through with my extracurriculars which pretty much took place indoors during the winter. This shift would actually have granted me some sunlight during the week in the winter as a child.
c'mon, I also live in the Bay and I think reality is somewhere in the middle between the original doom and gloom message and your rose colored glasses view. We have HUGE homelessness and untreated mental illness issues around here, and most urban centers are absolutely filthy cause of those.

Snowden was a government employee, so he's not as good an example as Assange, but otherwise, yes, I agree. The point about Carlson is that things are getting dicier now -- not that it's surprising, mind you. I don't mean that I care more about Carlson than Assange -- I mean that what is being threatened regarding Carlson is much beyond what was done to Assange.
That sounds extremely complicated to me! Now when I'm scheduling meetings, I have to consider a constantly shifting schedule! Are clients/partners/customers/etc also aware of this policy? What time do employees drop their kids off at school?

If we as a society wanted to adopt this solution (which admittedly requires societal agreement—I think you might need that anyway!), I actually think changing clocks would be the only way to make it work. Most clocks these days are or could be computers, so we could make them adjust themselves by 15 minutes every Sunday, and no one would have to think about it.
I've read many times that the major Russian military reforms over the last decade or so - successful or not - included combined arms, including air and infantry.

Permanent DST makes more sense as a lot more people are awake at 6pm vs. 6am.

From an optimization problem / energy conservation point-of-view we should try to place noon as close as possible to the midpoint of the population's wakefulness window.
I like building the components first because it helps avoid coupling them with the API response, but I have done it both ways.

The big benefit of building the components first is that you don't get blocked waiting for the backend dev to finish building the endpoints.
There's a brilliant phrase in the referenced Radio 4 documentary, where a former senior military officer described the responsibility of writing the letter as "awesome, with a capital F"
> In fact, Go was designed to enable average programmers to be productive on large systems.

The fallacy in that argument is that effective programming "in the large" requires more features, not less. Sure, there are highly dynamic programming languages that cannot meaningfully support programming beyond the scale of a "personal side project". Ironically for Paul Graham's "Blub" argument, LISP is quite clearly one such language. The same applies to languages such as Python, Ruby or ECMAscript, which would have been among the main alternatives to Go when it was first released.

And one can also fairly argue that Go has in fact made it simpler and easier to "program in the large" compared to C++, Java or C#, which were the other major alternatives to Go around that same time. So Pike's argument is not wrong as far as it goes. It is merely of limited applicability, because the jury is very much still out wrt. more recent and arguably higher-level languages like ReasonML, Kotlin, Dart, Erlang and yes, Rust. It's silly to conflate these languages with the likes of Python or C++, that is indeed the kind of argument that "Blub" was written for!
Ok fair point, but I was answering someone who was probably a software developer or something similar and pointing out that there were also potential 'practical' reasons from the standpoint of software development why this could be considered a more effective way of achieving an end. (as far as if my surmise is correct can't be sure)
Man, I totally missed the mark if this is how you interpretted my comment. I never meant to imply any competence level. Certainly didn't meant to direct any judgment at you. Simply trying express the issue I had with the lo package.

I'm really happy we have gotten generics. I think some of our lower level tooling will be much easier to build. I know lots of the community will likely be happy to have non reflect based ORMs come out of that work. I have a coworker who has expressed interest in building a new json:api parsing library with generics. Happy we have it.

The map/reduce/filter and some of the other _ style helper functions from lo was what I was trying to speak to. Those idioms just don't seem to fit well in the language. The clarity of the single way to do something in Go has been immensely refreshing. I appreciate that so often Go code looks like Go code. I also don't find myself pondering which iterator to use or chain together to accomplish something. I just quickly go to a for loop and move on. In Ruby/Java/JS/Python I often find myself deciding which chainable to use instead of just solving the problem and moving on. The language is certainly not without its warts or shortcomings. To me it feels like if those kinds of options are things you really enjoy using in a language, it would feel more natural to use a different tool. Sacrificing that clarity seems to remove some of the biggest reasons to use the language as opposed to something with fewer limitations.

Sorry if I came across as condescending. Not a stereotype of the community I intended on perpetuating.
Not really; logistics have the finality of gravity about them.
