Linux usually (by convention) provides 1 file and 2 symlinks per lib: liba.so -> liba.so.x -> liba.so.j.k.l.

The first one is to make the linker (ld) happy: -la will look for liba.so. The linker puts the SONAME (liba.so.x) in DT_NEEDED.

The second symlink's filename corresponds to the SONAME, so that the runtime linker (ld.so) can locate the library by SONAME in rpaths.

The third one is the actual library, which can be updated while keeping the same soname & same abi.

Now, it would be great if the linker had an option to not only copy the SONAME into DT_NEEDED, but also register the path in which the library was located as an rpath.

Cause the situation on Linux is absurd! You pass some flags -L and -l to the compiler/linker, the linker links something and nobody knows what. Then when you run your executable it has to locate this something again, and you can only pray that your libc and binutils/llvm agree on search paths & order. In most cases this does not work, and you must manually pass -Wl,-rpath,/some/path to add a search path. Nobody guarantees that what the linker links is what the runtime linker uses.

Of course there are many edge cases:

- linking during make without relinking during make install will make your executables register rpaths to build directories instead of install dirs

- sometimes you link to a stub lib that should not be used at runtime

But still, some guarantee that what you build with is what you run with would be a major user experience improvement for linux.
I intend to build one, eventually. We'll try.
Chinese is the command line of the 21st century. I've had the same difficulty with CKS32 datasheets.
I don't understand this. Surely there are lots of things that are connected in ways that aren't mapped here:

COVID-19 and Vaccination,
Real Estate Price and Housing,
Socioeconomic Status and Happiness are all nodes that are not connected in the graph - but are obviously connected in the real world.

Is this a WIP until everything is connected to everything else?
California passed a prop about this, but implementing it has been stalled for a couple years because why? You guessed it: Half the reps want to stick to PST and the other PDT.
There has to be a law about the permanence of "temporary" code.
That's a pretty poor solution compared to just finding libraries relative to the root of the program's installation.
Good call, I think I've only used :cq once(?).
This isn't true, IQ is one of the most predictive measurements.
I feel like the permanent DST option is a bit stupid in principle since as the other guy says it's about switching time zones and time zones should be primarily longitude based, not I-feel-like-being-in-whatever based because that's nonsense.

As an example France and Spain have no business being in CET/GMT+1 at all. France is geographically entirely in GMT, while some of Spain is in GMT-1 even, I mean what the actual fuck.

Time zones should be based on science, and work/school schedules should be flexible enough that people can decide on a company/institutional level when to start. If you want to start later, start later, don't fuck with the countrywide clock and make timekeeping a nightmare you goddamn idiots.
One thing that it’s really good at is writing boilerplate-y code. For example, web scrapers. It can even read the function’s name and deduce some proper variable names, or use variable names to deduce whether I want a list of elements or one element. Not 100% correct, of course, but good enough if you treat it like an advanced snippet manager.
Yes, but those bugs won't be caught since the test suite has an implicit dependency on the current US time, so they don't count.
Yes.

But "Permanent DST" is a lot easier to say and type than "Eliminate DST and shift the time zones".
I must be a weirdo with my 1-3-2 preference then! I hate the time change, but I'd hate to give up evening sunlight even more.
You must work where I work. Symantec Endpoint Protection (of course set to scan at any access), CarbonBlack, Avecto, etc etc etc. And because the people complain about it they install stuff like Nexthink to diagnose performance issues.

Eventually you end with a system that has so much latency on every I/O operation and over 60 ETW traces running you can't even run or finish a WPR trace.
> I got the sense that the Go people wanted to be taken seriously on the same level as great achievements like C and UNIX, but the creators quickly saw through the incoming critiques that they hadn't pulled this off.

One of the creators of Go is Ken Thompson.

"I did the first of two or three versions of UNIX all alone. And Dennis became an evangelist. Then there was a rewrite in a higher-level language that would come to be called C. He worked mostly on the language and on the I/O system, and I worked on all the rest of the operating system."
Assuming the collectors actually want cultivated plants vs. wild ones. I have to imagine to the collector there's a notable distinction.
Try emailing the GitHub CEO. I did, regarding the Codespaces waitlist, and he sent me three riddles to answer correctly before I could get access.

(I realise this sounds like I’m making it up, but I promise this is a real story. It was quite fun.)
Let's end the debate, assuage the farmers who opposed time changes from the beginning, and honor every other timekeeping system in our earlier history:

From now on, sunrise is 0700. The clock runs from 0700 sunrise to whatever time necessary overnight to arrive at sunrise again, at which point the time becomes 0700. For the part of the year where that duration is greater than 24 hours, the time past 06:59 simply counts up extra seconds until reset.

Now we can have computers and every other carefully regulated timekeeping system on milliseconds since an epoch timestamp, and regular old clock time fits everyone's schedules regardless of time of year, and never needs 'adjusting' again, since its sun-synchronized.

And people said Y2K and the Year 2038 issues were hard...
I don't know that I had much of a point beyond amusement at the degree to which people's perspectives vary. I suppose I am as much of an outlier as this article's author is, just in the opposite direction.

That old Rover made it past 200k miles; its interior got pretty worn, but it still ran as reliably as any other vehicle I've had. I'd be driving it still, if some jackass hadn't hacked the catalytic converters out of it one night.
You're correct, my apologies.
I find that as a general rule, it's best to assume that people know what they're doing and what's best for them. So in this case I'd ask why he was doing it, what his motivations were, etc.

Aside: I'd assume that as his friend, you'd already know that it is common for Mormons to do this!

In any event, if it's a life choice like this (or marriage, or a new career), then telling him that he's doing the wrong thing is not likely to result in anything positive, other than you feeling better (?) about yourself.
Vredefort Crater and Hawaii: Antipodal hotspots and bipolar catastrophes
Eh... life is always difficult, but time changes push things from difficult to nearly unmanageable.

The problem with time changes is the pattern of the day and therefore the energy and mental states tied to that changes. I can no longer predict how I will feel at specific times of day. This means I can no control my energy expenditure. I have to relearn how to cope from scratch.

For example: ~2pm is when my brain starts to get foggy. 4~5pm is going to be hopeless depression until my next medication dose kicks in. When all of this shifts by an hour, my body no longer knows what time it is. It doesn't matter how many timezones I've moved.

Removing EST<->EDT changes gives me a month of my life back each year.

This isn't anything like traveling, because traveling is temporary. I spent the month before making sure my mood will carry me through the trip and end up in a manageable state on the other side. It's like running to jump. I can't stay in the air; I have to land properly so I don't get hurt.
The one hour switch doesn't bother me that much. I didn't even notice this week when the time changed, because all of my clocks adjusted themselves. A friend had to remind me yesterday when I remarked how it was still light outside.

What bothers me is having to wake up when it's still dark outside. The last few days before the DST switch in the fall are always super rough for me, every year. Going through that all winter, every winter... I'm absolutely dreading this!

Society is already optimized for early risers and all we're doing is making it worse. Maybe there will eventually be a movement to switch time zones, but it would take at least another decade.
Care to add something to that? That link doesn't have any of the data or methods used. It also completely ignores the realities of childcare, normal work schedules, etc as it only evaluated one angle (systems thinking analysis would be preferable) and did not look into the feasibility of it or n-order effects.
50 years ago we didn't have the internet and everyone plugged into phones/TVs/inside all the time.

There's no reason we have to follow the same pattern this time around.
> We shouldn't blindly accept research without understanding it's implications and trying to suss out the reason for the observed results.

You're not wrong, but (e.g.) this paper has several dozen references, stating at the end:

> In summary, the scientific literature strongly argues against the switching between DST and Standard Time and even more so against adopting DST permanently. The latter would exaggerate all the effects described above beyond the simple extension of DST from approximately 8 months/year to 12 months/year (depending on country) since body clocks are generally even later during winter than during the long photoperiods of summer (with DST) (Kantermann et al., 2007; Hadlow et al., 2014, 2018; Hashizaki et al., 2018). Perennial DST increases SJL prevalence even more, as described above.

> But when your my colleague, co-founder, or my hero, or a potential investor who I've been in the loop with got weeks, then when you ask such questions, it does get hard.

I'm not a founder of anything, so I understand if this is just part of an experience that I've not had, but those are exactly the sorts of people who I would absolutely want to ask these sorts of questions. At least in my life, if I want to do something crazy, it's my close friends, my heroes, and my mentors that I go to first to get advice, and if I'm doing something that they don't see as sensible, I truly hope they tell me. I mean, they have done plenty of times already! And either I can give them a good answer and we can talk it over, or I can't give them a good answer, and then I know I need to think things over - either coming up with a better answer, or realising that what I was doing wasn't as sensible as I thought.

Likewise, I have friends where I hope I can be that person to them as well, and try and offer a critical perspective when I think they're viewing things in a rosier light than they realise. Obviously how you say that is always important, and in moments like that I try hard to frame my own perspective helpfully (and accept that my perspective may be missing something that they're seeing), but if there is a deep enough trust in a relationship, I think those sorts of things are possible and healthy.
Perhaps some enterprising civil servant will suggest using this in place of Covid passports too. Instead of needing to show a piece of paper or open an app, the cameras could check your medical record and give you a green light to proceed.
> Just to be precise, being American means you're from the United States of America. I don't call myself North American, for example. Neither does anyone else. When you introduce yourself you don't say "Hi I'm the_af and I'm from America".

No, this is false. I call myself American. We're from the Americas. (North)American exceptionalism is bullshit.

But my point is that disagreement over US policy and their role as world police, and disagreement with their Manifest Destiny, is not "being anti-American". Even the phrase "anti-American" reeks so much of exceptionalism it should be avoided at all costs.

I'm not anti-American. Being American is about cooperating with all of America, not being a bully who doesn't have to comply with the rules unless you're the one writing them.
It can be probably classified as an instance of the ABA problem.
This is a good visualization and gives a qualitative awareness I lacked before. I didn't realize how many timezones in the world are severely "off center" and counter to my own experience. I've lived my whole life in areas that are "barely green" to "slightly pink" in this map. Oddly, most of my travel destinations have also had similar solar alignment, whether in North America, Europe, or Asia. The biggest deviation I have experienced is that of South Korea, which I didn't really notice as unusual during a short visit with jet lag.

It is striking how many timezones are all red instead of being split red and green. In my childhood, people always talked about how different the evening/night culture was in Spain with meals at late hours. This map tells me the difference is less significant than I imagined as far as solar life, and more due to the time standard.

While this topic is beat to death already, I remain torn. On the one hand, centering on solar time is the only logical criteria I can see for adjusting and revising standards. To revise it even further away seems illogical to me. But, the map clearly many cultures already have gone that route. I can imagine many of these deviations came from some legacy desire to synchronize with an adjacent center of power or commerce. I can also appreciate that if we set it far enough out of whack, it illuminates how any standard is inherently arbitrary.
Isn't California gasoline generally more expensive because it requires a more stringent formulation of gasoline and so only a handful of refineries produce that?[1][2]

I imagine if the whole country used the California standard then gas prices in California would go down.

I don't know how much it would go up in the rest of the country though.

Really we should just ditch gas. The political drama from the last 50+ years over oil alone seems like a no-brainer for anything but gasoline, even if it costs more.

I'm reporting from a permanent DST country, and let me tell you something. You'll probably leave your home at dark in the morning and will return again at dark.

Waking before light is very demanding for some people's bodies. I can't sleep past beyond 9AM, but waking up at night is a big no no for my body. I can't wake up, I can't function, and it creates all kinds of adverse effects.

Health is more important than changing clocks two times a year.

No, I'm not simply dreading waking up before sunrise. My body can't function until sunrise regardless of the number of hours I sleep. It's built like that. You might not be suffering like me, but I'm not the only one. Half of our office comes in half-asleep during winter hours.

And no, sunrise clocks doesn't work for me.
No, the sun rises and sets when it rises and sets. All this means is that at noon the clock says 1:00pm. It's still noon.

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.

Why not just make daylight savings time go away and do things "an hour earlier"? You'd literally be waking up at the same exact time, just that the clock will say 6 instead of 7 or whatever. Are we really so far gone as a society that we will go to such great lengths to fool our brains? It's madness.

The way they drank tea in the Han dynasty is interesting; centuries before before a real processing method came about.

Guo Pu noted in the book Er Ya (Chinese: 尔雅), the earliest Chinese dictionary, tea can be boiled to consume like thick soup. More precisely, to make a cup of tea at that time you need to mix millet and other condiments with tea leaves first them boil them together till mushy state

I don’t see Go ever making headway in data science. For one, it’s not fast enough to implement algorithms directly but lacks a decent FFI; it would be burdensome to create the metric ton of new libraries that would have to be put into place. And there are Python libraries for basically everything already, from numeric computing to Bayesian time series to Spark to Torch and TensorFlow.

Plus Go’s kind of weird, relative to the languages that many data scientists have experience with.

Maybe I’m being unfair, though.
This is cool but why isn't it software?
> People are so disconnected from the world that their abstractions of it become more real to them than actual reality.

Because my job starts at 9 am regardless of the position of the sun.
Actually, you can't compensate for lack of sleep and oversleeping is not healthy either, so, you get dinged twice.
Yep, I can only hope it will bite back and prove itself to be another blow to Meta's stock.

I struggle to use Discord precisely because of the UX. and I say that with years of IRCing in a terminal with a black background. I vastly prefer Slack's theme.

I cook a lot on carbon steel and love it on induction. Seems to heat more evenly than on gas and heats up faster. Maybe you'd like it - seasons and performs the same as cast iron, but less material. Matfer Bourgeat is the brand I have.
It feels surreal to think that I live on the same planet as people who face such suffering. I feel totally helpless and sad.
Thanks cvburgess. The basic version around session replay is similar to logrocket but we are building a lot more around business specific use cases which help bubble signal over noise and allows developers to prioritise what matters for the customers and business.
I used IQ in a vague way as a proxy for sustained focus, ability to see patterns, mental energy etc... No one can argue that people that are higher in these traits have a higher chance at being what we consider "intelligent"
Goodness. Just end daylight savings time, problem solved. Oh you don't like waking up at 6, you'd rather wake up at 7? Well I've got news for you, you're waking up at the same time either way it's just that the clock shows an hour later. What time it is is when the sun comes up and goes down, not what number it is on the clock, the clock is supposed to be indicative of where the sun is in the sky, not the other way around.

Timezones are based on who you do business with, and who you primarily need to coordinate with. Timezones aren't inherently anything, they're purely a measure that humans use to make our lives more convenient. If you want to argue hard science, you'll have an uphill job of explaining to me why there should be 24 timezones and not 1440 of them.

With that in mind, picture how annoying it would be if you crossed a timezone line on your way to your (or your child's) school. Picture how annoying it would be if half the restaurants, shops, and businesses in your town were in one timezone, and the other half were in another. These issues are what timezones address, just on a governmental level.

Timezones don't try to be "correct", they try to be useful.
Surprised they didn't compromise and go to 4, half hour adjustments per year.

I agree, with the addition that closing an unbuffered `<-chan struct{}` is a good way to do broadcast notifications (a. la. the context package).

As evidence that channels should be used rarely, and only in small scopes, consider the number of places chan is used in the standard library.
The Wikipedia page is pretty directly not stating that.

Soviet Union was responsible for 1/3rd of the total death toll of 14M, with Nazi's Jewish victims being 5.4M. That puts the non-Jewish Nazi victims at 4M out of the total of 9.4M, and the Soviet Union victims at 4.7M (also note that this is Soviet Union of the time: while the officials behind these atrocities were likely Russian in majority, simply because Russians were majority of the population, I am certain not all of them were Russians — notably, Stalin himself was of Georgian descent).

Note that all of these also cover only a particular area that were of interest to both Nazi Germany and Soviet Union (basically Western Soviet Union, Eastern Europe and Baltic states).

Nazi Germany has done plenty of killings in the rest of the Europe too.
Every other state has figured out how to have school buses. maybe California should figure out how to rise to the standard of everywhere else instead of insisting that the whole country manipulate their clocks so you can take the extreme inefficiency of driving your kids to school.
I prefer to wake up at the perfect time to get ready for work. Personal activities happen after work. Most people I speak with seem to have the same schedule. The hour of light from 5:30 to 6:30 is already wasted, really more since I wake up at 7 most of the time.
