The House undoubtedly will opt to keep standard time permanent.

The committee negotiating a unified bill will settle for a compromise of keeping standard time for 8 months of the year and daylight savings time for 4 months of the year on odd years and reversing the proportion during even years.

There will be intense discussion about whether to do anything special for leap years. After several months of back and forth, someone will point out that there are also leap seconds and leap microseconds, leading to further debate.

The bill will lapse.

I have a better idea. Let's make the change _today_ and see which organizations are technically competent enough to change a clock. Survival of the fittest.
It worked fine 46 years ago. People bitched then "about the children" while insisting that schools couldn't start later. That's just crazy. What is different this time? It wasn't bad before, that's what.
As much as our Congress annoys me, I think it's possibly a little tongue in cheek in this case. Because if that's the name, it would be the SPA act.
How about we just make it 10-5?

> WASHINGTON, March 15 (Reuters) - The U.S. Senate voted unanimously on Tuesday to make Daylight Savings Time permanent, a move supporters say would make winter afternoons brighter and end the twice changing of clocks.

> The measure still needs approval from the U.S. House of Representatives and the backing of President Joe Biden. On Sunday, most of the United States resumed Daylight Savings Time, moving ahead one hour. The United States will resume standard time in November 2022.

I don't think this is a very good analogy. The craftsmen I know use basic, simple tools that work well. They just handle them masterfully. The more complex tools are often for beginners who need the hand holding.
As someone who suffers from insomnia, the switching of the clocks really messes with my natural circadian rhythm. I find it takes a least a week for me to naturally adjust and it sucks. It's also shown to lead to more heart attacks. https://www.acc.org/about-acc/press-releases/2014/03/29/09/1...

I've not found a religion I like :)

I'd said what's wrong with theocracy if that is what the people want, for example vote for. So, in effect it's a democratically chosen theocracy. Is that not democracy after all?

In other words, if Tibet were to become independent and the people chose Dalai Lama to be the head of the state, would it be a theocracy or a democracy or a theocratic democracy?

But, I get your point.

Still, I think we’re getting ahead of ourselves debating future Tibetan government while it is being butchered under the CCP. We safely can punt this debate for later.
I grew up in the land of the midnight sun. I am not sure what point you are trying to make. People really don't complain much about it being light until late. It is much more common to hear people complain about the sun setting sooner as fall approaches.

Light in the evening is massively more useful than light in the morning. Sports, hobbies, anything involving the outdoors. It's not really useful to have that hour in the morning when you're just getting ready for school/work anyway.

Considering the alternative is often either "copy and paste a bunch of code with a type changed in a bunch of places and commit the result" or "vtable dynamic dispatch", it's perfectly fair for a person to say that they require that feature.

What is ample time for a company that hired a webdev one time to build them a static website and never checks webmaster@domain emails? What is ample time when you've got ops scripts set up to automatically do domain stuff but don't employ that person anymore?

I feel like Google marketing has no idea the absolute monster of a problem they've created by allowing their business to get a reputation for being extremely unreliable in the B2B space.
You don't need to "replicate a video streaming service like Vimeo" which is obviously a massive undertaking, you just need a system to deliver your own videos, minus all the infrastructure necessary for a platform that is meant to support a multi-tenant video publishing and billing service as a product.

That's like if I said "build your own web storefront" and you said "replicating shopify is not an easy task" or "build your own newsletter" and you said "replicating substack is not an easy task".
Ok, but any situation where you start your day with light in the mornings in winter in the North will necessarily mean that you end your day with darkness in the evenings. Whether we call the time the day starts "7AM" or "8AM" doesn't change this.

The fundamental trade-off is: sunlight when you wake up and you're going to school/work, or sunlight when you're coming back from school/work? Unless you reduce the school/work day, this is unavoidable.
Some of us get off at 5 and hate the effect on our mental health of always leaving work in darkness/never having any free time in the sunlight.
A wonderful thing (among many) about American society is openness. We get to see inside the machine.

Often what we see, in the military machine is ugly. No surprise.

It is not that the American military are worse, the problem is they are more powerful.

(As I have commented elsewhere here) It is possible for the Americans to be a beacon of light in a dark world. It is a choice for them.

They have chosen the path of darkness. Such a waste
I will love it when my sleep schedule isn't disrupted twice a year for no good reason. I can stand waking up in the dark or getting off work in the dark. I just hate having to adjust my circadian in order to reduce candle usage...

The human body likes a consistent schedule. When the schedule is disturbed, you get problems like these:

You’d have to be over 60 years old to have any memory of that, and even then you would have been a kid at the time. Plus your memory gets worse as you age. So why would anyone here have a memory of that experience? The only memories we have are of DST messing up our sleep schedules twice a year for no apparent benefit to us.

But more to the point, the article doesn’t really talk about why it went badly. In fact, the only thing it mentions (kids getting up too early for school) is a very solvable problem and one which should be solved regardless of DST.

I'd say it's safer, and unlikely to have a significantly different overall performance. Sure 0-30 mph is likely faster, full torque instantly does that. But instant torque leads to less surprises. In my WRX I did have a moment where my prediction of how things would play out was wrong, so I hustled and a second or 2 later (thanks ICE lag + turbo lag) I was in an unintentional 4 wheel slide. Ended fine (WRX is very predictable when sliding), but instant torque just makes things easier.

Generally the lower the performance of a car, the longer in the future you have to predict your power needs, which makes things like on ramps, highway passing (especially on uphills), and of course getting across intersections quickly.

I think one correction for the OP is that while instant torque is a huge change for the driver, it's not so for anyone outside the car. Much of the lag in the throttle, engine (waiting for RPMs to increase), torque converter, automatic to shift, driveline slack, etc is invisible to people outside. What pedestrian notices is the launch after all that happens, and said launch is much like an EV launch.

Sure $50-$75k Teslas are quick, but I don't expect cheaper EVs to be particularly faster than the cheaper gas cars.
Just by looking at the Vimeo landing page over the years it was clear that they are aiming for the B2B market. Small time creators are clearly not the target group.

Just reading the material reveals some gems

"This focus on middle and high school, and on adolescents is intentional: 12-18 year olds are at a developmental stage where they are just beginning to comprehend their social worlds and their roles and positions in these social worlds. We believe that learning CS in social terms at these ages can not only help them integrate perspectives on computing into their new awareness of the world, but that the ideas in CS itself can help them better understand what it means to be human, to make decisions, and to have intelligence. Children in primary school may be too young for conversations about systemic social conflict. And while adults in postsecondary and beyond need to learn justice-centered CS literacy as well, many are less open to such learning, having hardened their political views as they enter adulthood. We likely need different methods for children and adults."

They know adults will be skeptical of what they teach (with reason). So they try to jam it down children’s throats where there’s little parental oversight. And they aren’t even trying to hide it.

> Comments like these are why we black engineers rarely feel comfortable within our industry. Its not to say anything you said was explicitly offensive, but that it shows an unwillingness to interact with challenging material.

That's an interesting way of framing it. As if people not ok with these teaching methods were simply too dim witted to engage with this material too “challenging” for them.
Therefore, using virtue signaling as an epithet is a bad faith claim to be able to peek into people's minds and determine bad intent in order to discourage people from publicly supporting a cause.

I don’t agree at all, and I think many people don’t agree. What has always depressed me the most in the winter is the lack of sunlight in the evening, after work/school. In the morning I don’t really get to enjoy the sunlight anyway. What I really hate is getting off work and finding it already dark.

There is no “right” time, and this fight for pedantic correctness is already lost. That ship sailed when we started using time zones instead of true local time. Many localities are far from their true noon already. We should make policy on the basis of what is actually good for people.
“In Sweden, researchers found an average 6.7 percent greater risk of heart attack in the three days after the spring change. Inspired by that finding, a group of U.S. researchers conducted their own study and determined that heart attack risk jumped 24 percent the Monday after switching over to daylight saving time. That risk then tapered off over the remainder of the week.

By contrast, risk for heart attack dropped 21 percent on the Tuesday after the fall time change.”

But it's totally okay to get political about COVID and deny, deny, deny here.

Such an odd cross section of libertarian "freedom above all else" people and legitimately smart technical folks.

I thought what you were saying was crazy, but the etymology of "noon" interesting:

https://www.etymonline.com/word/noon

---------------------

noon (n.)
mid-12c., non "midday," in exact use, "12 o'clock p.m.," also "midday meal," from Old English non "3 o'clock p.m., the ninth hour from sunrise," also "the canonical hour of nones," from Latin nona hora "ninth hour" of daylight, by Roman and ecclesiastical reckoning about 3 p.m., from nona, fem. singular of nonus "ninth," contracted from *novenos, from novem "nine" (see nine).

The sense shift from "3 p.m." to "12 p.m." began during 12c., and various reasons are given for it, such as unreliability of medieval time-keeping devices and the seasonal elasticity of the hours of daylight in northern regions. In monasteries and on holy days, fasting ended at nones, which perhaps offered another incentive to nudge it up the clock. Or perhaps the sense shift was based on an advance in the customary time of the (secular) midday meal. Whatever the cause, the meaning change from "ninth hour" to "sixth hour" seems to have been complete by 14c. (the same evolution is in Dutch noen).

From 17c. to 19c., noon sometimes also meant "midnight" (the noon of the night).

---------------------

Of course the meaning of the word centuries ago doesn't really matter much for what people think about the word today, but it's interesting none the less.
whats 9:30 vs 8:30? Just a label.

Work when the sun is up, call that 9AM. Wake up at X AM so you can get to work on time. It's all just a label, so long as humans can agree.
Not for me. I prefer timekeeping libraries to not have to be changed. Ever. If they have to, should be simplified. If simifying, it should be in a way that doesn't cause grammatical issues.

Which this does, because now DST is now the standard time.
> I've found that now that I've gotten fairly fluent in the language I will often crack off small scripts in Go to automate dumb things I don't want to do in Bash or whatever, this is maybe an anti-pattern, depending on who you talk to.

I do the same. Most everything you need for quick scripting against services and the like is built in. No hunting down libraries. Then the build output is a fully contained binary that can run on my m1 mac, x86 server, whatever.

> In the V-extension, they have an instruction named "vrgather".

> But that instruction is not a gather load instruction. This instructoin is just a shuffle instruction.

I think on the contrary, x86's permute/shuffle/gather naming is a horrible legacy mess (plus broadcast and other stuff). The channels width, the source selection, the IMM encoding, all basically nonsense and horrifically non-orthogonal.

`vrgather` is literally "gather from register, vector". In risc-v, you can gather from 8 consecutive vector registers (maximum size of a vector register group). That means 1024bits on a bare minimum Zv128b machine. This channel width blows out the 256bits/128bits channel nonsense even in AVX512 and deserve a name closer to memory gather.
The wasting energy argument seems to be the opposite to me. People will get home and not have to immediately turn on lights, saving some energy. Not everyone is awake at 6:30am, so their lights remain off.
Currently, states can only choose permanent standard time, not permanent daylight savings time.

The west coast states’ legislatures already voted to go permanent daylight savings, so presumably this bill would allow them to.
It's unsafe. A child is more likely to be hit by a car when it is dark. With the current system they can leave for school and come home when there is light.

Early risers can just... turn on the lights.

You can't just "turn on the lights" for outdoor activities except in very specific cases. Those activities can't really be done in the morning because people have to get ready for school/work during that time. I really don't want to waste perfectly good sunlight getting ready for work. Let me use it when it can actually be used.
So, I understand that the difficulty is being able to reset the barrier without a quiescent period.

It seems to me that a counter being able to count to n is enough and there is no need of an explicit phase bit:

Wait(int *b, int n):
1: x = *b
if (x == n-1)
*b=0 //last, reset
else if cas(b, x, x+1)
2: if *b goto 2
else goto 1

Barro is very fond of pointing out that we tried this once in the 1970s and almost immediately rolled it back. Permanent DST means that it's dark between 8-9AM in large swathes of the US. Among other problems, having kids go to school in the dark or twilight hours is unsafe, so schools responded by adjusting their schedules, which is an even bigger problem than DST, because the rest of the economy has a de facto requirement to coordinate with school schedules.
In case anyone is interested, here are my technical critiques of Go:

- Boilerplate increases the surface area that a bug can hide in. The fact that most of the boilerplate is around error handling is especially worrying. Yes, the flexibility of "Errors are values"[1] is nice. But I also don't know any languages where errors _aren't_ values, so the main value add seems to be reduced boilerplate compared to individual try/catches around each function call.

- Go manages to repeat the Billion Dollar Mistake[2]. Things like methods working on nil receivers is cool, but not worth the danger or messiness.

- Even worse, for a language that claims to value simplicity, the fact that nil sometimes doesn't equal nil[3] is... honestly, I can only consider that a bug.

Virtue signaling is a problem when it injects a moral aspect into areas that are disputed or subjective.

In this case, it frames the issue as the enlightened who want to"protect people's access to sunshine" against the evil forces of darkness.

In reality, there is no moral highground, good guys, or bad guys.

Some people simply like sunshine at different times. It would be nice if we could act like adults and start from this premise. We can try to come up with a solution for how to set our clocks without claiming the preference of the other side is illegitimate or morally bankrupt.

Exactly. Lets just wake up when the sun dictates, go to bed when it doesnt. So what if it's 12:37 PM where you are in the world. It's just a label and our circadian rhythm dictates most of this, ignorant of what time society says is "slothful" or "eager" to rise.
