The many people who didn't believe the invasion would happen (myself included) expected that such an invasion would so disastrous for Russia that the Russian state would avoid it. So I think people saying no invasion might claim to be half right, since it so-far does appear to be a disaster for Russia.

Reports now have Putin isolated and being fed misinformation, so the intelligence or coherence of the Russian state seems to be where the predictions failed.
I guess this is removed useless complexity.

EU should follow soon hopefully.
> That is to say, war is not other means. It is the primal means of diplomacy from which all others spring forth.

I'm not sure I understand what you're arguing here. Let me spell out my alternative interpretations and tell me which (if any) is what you meant:

a- War is the primary principle or tool of diplomacy. It is by the threat of war that diplomacy without violence can work.

b- Like a-, but with the implication this is the right way, and there's no other non-violent means for humans to resolve their disagreements and organize themselves at the world level. It will always be "my way, or a club to the head".

c- Like a-, but with the implication this is a historical artifact and reflects a sad state of affairs, and that true diplomacy will find a way to work without resorting to the threat of violence. Or at least, that this is a goal worth striving for, even if humans are imperfect.

The distinction matters, because a- and b- make it easy to jump to the conclusion "in this case" violence is warranted ("I hate war, but this is a just war!") and that "boot to neck" diplomacy is sometimes needed and unavoidable. Whereas option c- will always consider resorting to violence a kind of failure and not something to celebrate or chest-thump about.
Could you please point me to an independent source which can confirm what you wrote, as in not Chinese/CCP propaganda to justify their invasion and occupation of Tibet.

So we don't have dark pre-sunrise mornings either, thanks to the lightbulb?

Never mind light pollution doesn't apply if you're trying to get into outdoor activities after work.
Oh even better
This might also affect northern non-tech businesses like ski resorts. They’ll either have to open an hour later (and possibly stay open an hour later), or install lighting.

It might also affect things like outdoor after-school activities that will now have enough light to be held during winter, which in Northern California potentially means extending or shifting the soccer season.

"up until the moment Russia invaded, there were armchair "experts on Russia" and "experts on Putin" saying it was a bluff and guaranteeing there would be no invasion"

It wasn't just "armchair experts"... it was the Ukranian and Russian governments themselves saying that any reports that Russia was going to invade was just propaganda.

Many Ukranians believed them, with surveys showing that most Ukranians didn't expect an invasion.. and the Ukranian government was saying it was "ready".

Well, we now see how much those words were worth.

Many of those Ukranians who believed there wasn't going to be an invasion have either now fled their homes, are desperately trying to, are dead, or soon will be as bombs, famine and disease overtake their besieged cities.
You also have the issue with kids who take the bus to school. With dark mornings, kids sit by the road and wait for the bus. So they walk in the dark to the bus stop, then wait there for some indeterminate amount of time in the dark.

Getting darker earlier at night, there are two advantages for schoolkids. One is that school tends to get out before the sun goes down even on the shortest days for most areas. So, many kids who'd have to wait in the dark in the morning don't have to deal with the dark at all in the afternoon. The other is that even when it's getting dark by the time the kid gets home, they don't have to wait next to the road for an indeterminate amount of time until the bus gets there.
Seeking to understand the research is still a valid endeavor. We shouldn't blindly accept research without understanding it's implications and trying to suss out the reason for the observed results.
> I was flying my kite for kite aerial photography and a chinese ((or taiwanese) or japanese) tourist noted my blackened teeth an told that green tea does not color. And it worked ok.

I think black (red) tea is very much worth it. I just couldn't do without at least a single cup a day. I do brush my teeth afterwards though.
It's more complicated than that. Everything that calculates differences between two points in time for example would need to be updated to know about when the switch occurred. And more generally, this is an example of why it's complicated - because it's easy to overlook things that could be affected, so there's a great deal of investigation and testing that would need to be done.
Does permanent DST mean :

A. The sun rises earlier and sets earlier.

B. The sun rises later, but sun sets later too.
Well, as far as technical challenges go, we would all have to change our clocks (or the clocks would have to receive some kind of signal to adjust their time accordingly).

Might be doable though.
I am in favor of permanent standard time, but failing that, I am super happy with permanent daylight-saving time.

Far more important to me is ridding ourselves of the twice-annual insanity of changing clocks. I'd be okay with adopting UTC if that meant our clocks never changed again.
I am curious how many undiscovered species might just be sitting on someone's hall table.

True true. Also, this is a story about the curse of success. Many of their cancelled products were really things that nobody cared about, but since google itself was so high profile, that a relatively few disgruntled users had such a high resonance because reporting and echoing their woes generated clicks elsewhere.

> I think most people would rather have that extra hour of light for after they get home from work/school/whatever, so they can actually enjoy the outdoors a bit when they get home.

People thank that they do, but their brain disagrees. There are numerous other posts on this thread indicating that public health experts agree with peoples brains in that the extra hour in the after noon is not worth the early rise.

> I always hated the feeling from late fall until early spring of being excited to be done school/work... only to get home and it be dark so basically the only thing I can do is walk inside and stay in there until the next day.

So here we have a problem, it can be solved by changing the clock to give you an extra evening hour at the cost of an early rise which leads the sleep deprivation for a large group of people. However it can also be solved in a number of different ways. Labour laws can be passed which mandates shorter working hours and/or winter vacation. Your local government can invest in more public spaces with good lighting and commercial activities close to peoples work places so that you can e.g. jump to a bar with your classmates/colleagues for the last hour of sun during mid-winter. Etc. Moving the clock seems like the radical option here, especially given the detrimental public health effects.
B (relative to standard time)
You're correct that it requires thick skin, but there is such thing as pushing too hard, and I've dealt with that personally when a close friend became almost aggressive in their viewpoint.
> Sounds like you work in an all indoor environment where the sun matters not to your livelihood, unlike farmers.

My (late) grandparent were farmers: they only cared about the time on Sundays to make sure they weren't late for Church services. Otherwise the the cows needed milking when they needed milking (which I helped with when I visited them).
rpath is braindamaged; no program should be using that, and a distro build should almost never be inserting such a thing into executables.

I suspect that NixOS is playing with this in order to have a relocatable install: so that is to say, so that user can install NixOS in some subdirectory of a system running some existing distro. Any subdirectory, yet so that programs can find their libraries.

If I were in this predicament, rather than perpetrating hacks to patch the rpaths in binaries, I'd fix the dynamic linker to have a better way of locating shared libraries. The linker would determine the path from which the executable is being run, calculate the sysroot location dynamically, then look for libraries in that tree. E.g. /path/to/usr/bin/program would look under /path/to/usr/lib and related places.

A possibly nice hack would be to extend the meaning of the rpath variable. Give it a syntax, like say that if it starts with @, then the rest of it denotes a relative sysroot path fragment.

E.g. the program that gets installed as /path/to/usr/bin/program would be built with an rpath of "@/usr/bin". So then the dynamic linker sees the @ and does a sysroot calculation. First it strips off the basename to get just the directory part "/path/to/usr/bin". Then it sees, hey, the suffix of "/path/to/usr/bin" matches the "/usr/bin" in the rpath. The suffix is stripped to produce "/path/to" and that path is then used as the root for the library searching. Instead of searching literally in /lib or /usr/lib or whatnot, the "/path/to" part is prefixed to every search place to look in /path/to/lib and /path/to/usr/lib.

Patching binaries is very poor; it changes their cryptographic hash like SHA-256. You want your distro to be installing bit-exact stuff from the packages, and treating it as immutable.
>To be among the first to use an open source, RISC-V CPU in a regular computer? A portable one, no less?! To be a pioneer of a more open hardware future? That sounds like an absolute privilege.

Is this an actual open source processor? I can't find any info on it either way. A lot of the conversation around RISC-V seems to conflate the open source nature of the ISA with the the actual implementation. Even the reference implementations are BSD licensed so people are allowed to distribute proprietary derivatives to say nothing of completely proprietary implementations.

If all or most of the implementations are propriety, I feel like it is a mostly lateral move from ARM as, although it is not open source, the ARM ISA is readily available [1], and the same kinds of rarified CPU engineering and academic circles that will have influence in the RISC-V Foundation, already influence ARM.

If bad predictions make you lose faith in percentages as a whole, why don't lies make you lose faith in words as a whole? In both cases I would assign the fault with the errant speaker.
The questions described don't sound so much like existential questions as rhetorical ones. They are not asked to get an answer but to make a point, that point being that the questioner believes their friend's startup idea is a poor one. So yes, it's generally better to engage with someone you want to persuade by asking actual questions, rather than talking at them with rhetorical ones.

I don't think we should have to play w/ kid gloves around founders. They aren't different from the rest of us.

I imagine there is a correlation between failed founders and "number of question categories deemed askable" that the founder has dreamed up.
Neither option is great. Permanent standard time might be better, although I assume blackout curtains will be popular with twilight starting around 4am in the summer. There's really not going to be light both before and after work in the winter for many places. Current twilight is about 630am now, so it would be more like 1.5 hours, not 2.5.
I don't know if I agree with you. The point of the article is that those questions are not only unhelpful, they're distracting, and you shouldn't be trying to distract a founder. The reason why people are asking those questions is because they themselves are nervous and they're projecting their nerves onto you.

From your link

"Snyder provided a summary of the 14 million victims as follows:

3.3 million victims of "the Soviet Famines"

4.2 million victims of the German Hunger Plan in the Soviet Union, "largely Russians, Belarusians and Ukrainians"

5.4 million Jewish victims in the Holocaust

700,000 civilians, "mostly Belarusians and Poles", shot by the Germans

200,000 Poles were killed between 1939 and 1941 in occupied Poland, with each regime responsible for about half of those deaths

300,000 victims in the Great Purge in the Soviet Union from 1937–1938

So 10.4 millions Hitler, 3.7 millions Stalin, how many of them jewish not mentioned.

How do you get from that that Stalin killed more Jews than Hitler?

All I can say is that it must take alot of confidence, for lack of a better term, to look at what time the sun goes down and to decide that you are going to change that.

The openc906 is just the CPU core, however (and the released C906 Verilog code might have some updates and bugfixes compared to the silicon in the D1).

The English datasheet and user manual for the D1 are available at https://linux-sunxi.org/D1

However, some of the peripheral hardware (such as the video unit/frame buffer) is not documented and the documentation for the C906 CPU core itself is only available in Chinese.
ghoomketu, the session replay and error monitoring may look similar to smartlook but our vision at Zipy is to build business intelligence on top of this. That would allow users to tie business use cases to the session replay + monitoring. We want to bubble up what is important for business.

Most people don't that though. They use databases, system and apps that implement their own logic for time changes. Maybe you need an OS update. Maybe it's code that is controlled by a third party. There's plenty of logistics necessary to make sure things don't break when the DST rules change.

Er, studio is minimum $2k, well above the average price of a home built AMD system with the same specs (32GB ram and 512GB SSD). It also runs OSX instead of Windows and Linux,

Not really the same market at all. The 5700X (2nd most expensive on a list of 7 CPUs) costs $300, 32GB ram of DDR4-3600 is $150, 512GB SSD is $60, motherboard, case, and power supply is likely another $300. So $810 for a system, not including a GPU, but $1200 is more than enough for something decent.
I agree that the latter version is too verbose, but if the alternative is this:

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

... then I'd much rather stick with the verbosity. There's way too much going on in a single line here.

I'd rather have if statements be expressions, with gofmt-enforced line breaks:

err := h(
if cond(x) {
f(x)
} else {
g(x)
},
)

No unnecessary temp variables and no stuffing everything into one line.

I don't agree with this article. Being supportive is not being nice. Being supportive can be cruel.

I do a lot of mentoring for startup founders. I usually get asked to help with pricing and positioning strategy because it's hard to find mentors with that expertise.

In particular, there are two SDG-focused programs I mentor at every year. The founders are very early stage. Some have products and customers, but most just have MVPs and customer interviews.

It's kind of heartbreaking. These new founders have had so much validation. The program and other mentors have told them how they should be admired for following their dreams and how they are the future and will be saving the planet.

Aad I come along and say "OK. How do you know people will buy this? No, sadly, people don't buy things because it's the right thing to do. OK people have said this is 'fun', but how much are they willing to pay?"

My evaluations at the end of these programs tend to be an extreme split between founders who write things like "This was the best 45 minutes of the entire program." and those who write tings like "This mentor just didn't care about me or my startup."

Sigh

Because, aside from that noon should be at noon (roughly, allowing for the obvious error that standard time and mean solar time introduce, but which are present in both perma-standard and perma-DST) and you shouldn't be legislating business hours by screwing around with what the clock says…, it's a bad decision:

> Permanent standard time is considered by circadian health researchers and safety experts worldwide to be the best option for health, safety, schools, and economy, including the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, National Sleep Foundation, American College of Chest Physicians, National Safety Council, American College of Occupational and Environmental Medicine, Canadian Sleep Society, World Sleep Society, Society for Research on Biological Rhythms, and several state sleep societies.

> It is supported by environmental evidence, owing to evidence that DST observation increases driving, morning heating, and evening air conditioning, which all in turn increase energy consumption and pollution.

I wish I had your time and effort to be able to fix the issues of split DNS in macOS being broken unless using cgo.

https://github.com/golang/go/issues/12524

This has been an open issue since 2015. It's a pain because every single last tool using go cross compilation fails to use the proper DNS resolver and thereby doesn't work when using work VPN's.

This is tools like: kubectl, vault, concourse (fly), and many other binaries that get built on CI, and unless the company builds on macOS builders and uses CGO_ENABLED=1 DNS resolution is just broken.

And it is increasingly frustrating.

You're parsing it wrong. Or rather, you're not parsing the entire comment.

What they're saying is that there are two positions:

1. Permanent Standard Time > Permanent DST > Switching

2. Permanent DST > Permanent Standard Time > Switching

And that NOBODY (or at least, an extremely small minority) would rather choose switching over either of the permanent options.
