The hyperbolic use of "literally" to mean "figuratively" goes back hundreds of years.

They justify this in a few places, including

> The "in effect; virtually" meaning of literally is not a new sense. It has been in regular use since the 18th century and may be found in the writings of Mark Twain, Charlotte Brontë, James Joyce, and many others.

edit: HN was loading really weird for me, I didn't see the sibling comment make this point already!
I don't think it really matters how much money the person is making. Being blind sided by 1750% increase in price would make anyone complain. Sure, they should have read the fine print and all that but to raise prices that much and say you have 9 days to comply or you don't exist to us seems like a scummy business practice. You may disagree.
It's only in the very dead of winter that the extra hour is from 4-5 (which still means it's lighter at 5 than it would have been). In the shoulder seasons you definitely get more light after work.
There was no "diplomatic immunity" issue relevant in that case. The perpetrator had no diplomatic immunity. She was only immune to prosecution because she ran away, and the US government denied extradition because it would be "troubling".
You get up too early. Relax

Thanks for commenting.
I wonder why you think Tibet would become a theocracy if it were independent. I don't think the current Dalai Lama would support that. Many places were not democratic before falling under foreign rule, but became democratic afterwards.
Timezone changes are practically a weekly thing... 9 months is a lot more warning than many other changes.
A payment model of "your bandwidth is unlimited unless you hit this barely mentioned and completely opaque threshold, at which point you'll be charged a completely arbitrary amount" is downright predatory, and is nowhere near the same as being asked to pay for services (which the creator in question already was doing)
That barrier to entry starts breaking down when the ride hailing apps are integrated via an "ad" in the users' default mapping app.

I hate it because I have to remember whether it's PDT or PST right now.

They force others to believe as they do and likely any nonbelievers are either jailed or become rejected by society at large as untouchables. That seems as bad as most dictatorships, barring outright torture and indiscriminate execution for going against the state.

Some of us get up at 5 or 6 and hate the effect on our mental health of having the first few hours every day being dark.
The Sun isn't rising any earlier since DST is being changed for the summer
That article doesn't say why it was a bad idea.

Are we really rejecting this because it'll be dark at 7:35am?

Sorry, but that's not even close to a compelling reason not to do this.
Meta-analysis suggest risk reductions of statin treatment are modest
a) if you're a software developer who works on anything related to time, changing up timezones is always scary

b) if you're someone who has a strong preference for when they do outdoor activities, day vs night can make a big difference

c) if you wake up in the dark, work all day, then drive home in the dark it's kind of a downer (latitude dependant)

I mean, “Daylight savings time” is a commonly used term. At some point it just becomes accepted as a valid alternative.
That's a great idea - as someone with no kids I can see absolutely no downside to it.
I am well aware of this. I'm responding to the notion that support of institutions like the Kennedy Center has any correspondence to the desires of anything beyond an extreme minority of the population. You're lecturing the wrong person.
The problem with summarizing complex things for people is that you leave out the bits that you don't think will stick, and even what is left over becomes a game of telephone.

At the time, puehr was about to have a little resurgence but was pretty obscure in the west. I'm not sure which of us redacted that from the brief timeline.

I like a little puehr once in a while. It tastes like leaf mould smells, which is probably not far off from reality.

Edit: some imported tea is still delivered in compressed bricks, green, black and oolong. Among those are teas that are treated like scotch. and I have seen but not tasted a 25 year old tea brick (which I think she kept in part for bragging rights. IIRC it was not for sale.) I already have a Scotch habit, I don't need to be buying 18 year old tea on top of it, so as curious as I was I made no attempts to get involved in any private tea tastings.
Does it run Emacs? :)
That's terrible news. It'll be extremely hard to wake up and do anything before day jobs now.

We should move the standard work day to 10-6 to compensate.

Important note: "Senator Marco Rubio said after input from airlines and broadcasters that supporters agreed that the change would not take place until November 2023."
I was going to the bus stop in the dark even with DST and I didn't even live in the north. First bell was generally 8 AM and you needed to be at the bus stop well before then obviously, especially if you lived in the earliest parts of the route.
You're right that the Linode library existed prior to DigitalOcean's founding but DigitalOcean did innovate: they understood the value of technical writing as a conversion tool, and paid for it. Linode did not pay for articles until more recently, and so the Linode library was comparatively weak for a long, long time. The Linode library was helpful for customers, certainly, but it was never comparable to what DigitalOcean achieved with their content. You can argue that DO were able to achieve what they did because of raising money, but to suggest they copied Linode wholesale is revisionism.

I won't get into the weeds of Linode vs. DigitalOcean but there were very important differences in approach, and eventually Linode was copying DO's ideas (for example, the introduction of low-resource low-cost servers, the design...). Linode was a trailblazer in the industry, for sure, but DigitalOcean wasn't just "Linode plus capital".

edit: Linode started paying in 2014[1] after DigitalOcean[2]

Personally I enjoy being having the sun up after work. My fitness and general happiness immediately improves when daylight saving starts and drops when it ends. For me the year has eight good months and four shitty months. After this change it’ll be more like ten good months and two mediocre months. Those additional hours of time when I can enjoy the world really do mean a lot to me.

I understand that there are other people with lifestyles that benefit more from sun in the morning, and they aren’t wrong, they are just different.
I'd rather it be dark when I wake up and light when I am done working, but to each their own.
Because of paywalls, like the one preventing public access to the parade of horribles that is apparently detailed in this article I can't read

But you just outlined use cases for crypto (illicit activity, etc) in your grandparent post while simultaneously claiming crypto can't be used as a currency. Which is it?
True. But sometimes there are small openings in the hills which are enough for rivers to rush through. Brahmaputra starts near Tibet, but enters India in the state of Arunachal Pradesh. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brahmaputra_River#/media/File:...
Yeah thats true. Good point. Kind of lost that in my comment.
So how long do I have to wait until this goes to the House?

And why will it fail when it gets there, or be stuck in committee forever before reaching the floor, or have some nonsensical pork attached to it? I have no faith in my government to do something as nice as give me a little sunshine in the evening...
> And a waste of energy in the morning

How is it not the same waste of energy in the evenings? People don't go to sleep when the sun sets.
Didn't Intel bork PAUSE on some CPUs? IIRC it can take 140 cycles to execute.
I do not think it costs many resources to exercise diplomacy to avert wars and also to end them. It is a question of political will. Saying it is too limited a resource means maybe we should care more about that than a bunch of celebrity gossip and complacency.
Completely agree that absolute poverty may very well have increased in Seattle — but in that case, folks should talk about poverty increasing, not about inequality.

Talking about inequality is talking about an irrelevant thing.
Because having the Sun rise at 8:30 is really late. We waste energy and secondly people are spending 2 hours of their morning in the dark.

Having the Sun rise at 4:30 is bad because it's just too early to get up and makes for poor sleep. Having the Sun set later in the day is better in this case.
It would be really interesting to study this - in Europe the same time-zone covers between approximately 30m behind true time (e.g. in eastern Poland) and 1h 30m ahead (in Galicia) - do Galicians typically get up later than Poles?

China has it even more so - a single time-zone covering what should be five - are people in Fuyuan waking up at 03:00 when the sun rises in summer, whilst people in Zanda sleep in till 07:30?
The flip flopping is currently “permanent”, this bill would stop the flip flopping.

This is the reason for "it went badly"? Since that article didn't address it, what exactly happened when we didn't have DST?

Wasn't this the idea behind Intel's Larrabee hardware?

If Vulkan and co. are too difficult personally I suspect it's more fruitful to build better abstractions on top of the underlying constraints dictated by the need for massive parallelism, not trying to make the x86-style programming paradigms fast enough for graphics-type workloads.
You get up too late. Relax. If I get up later I can't go to the gym and get a good workout, then sit and drink my coffee and eat breakfast before work.
I'm very happy to see fuzzing added to Go, and I don't write Go at all (or every plan to). Bringing concepts like this to the masses is a win for everybody.

For 1-2 weeks post-time-change, I used to adjust okay, it was just annoying.

But kids and pets have no clue what's going on, and their bodies are basically jolted into a different sleep schedule since society doesn't have any ramp-up/ramp-down into the new hour difference.

We have basically been fighting to get our kids up (fighting against their own bodies' sleep schedules and instincts) this week. And when the time changes again in the fall, we end up getting woken up "an hour early" since the kids don't care to sleep an extra hour that day.
Or a vaccine administration? (sorry if this is too soon to bring that up)

Or the people that prefer to have a contiguous time span for their leisure, instead of a couple of hours in the morning and then a few more in the evening.
Super helpful, thank you.
I think the idea was to give an hour of light later in the day for when people are off work.
So who is going to update all the non networked electronic clocks that automatically adjust for standard/DST changes?

This is the problem with Congress... No connection feedbackwise to the ungodly hell made by the legislation they pass. It's always someone else's problem.
So the Noble Lie was real because some people believed it. But those who told it lied. Moreover they didn't follow it. Moreover they were in fact bad guys. And why is that bad? Because they were caught and now those other bad guys will undermine our values... that we don't have (but we thought we did).

This makes absolutely no sense unless you insert some unfounded premise of national/Western exceptionalism somewhere.
We're already on DST 2/3 of the year; it's considerably less disruptive to keep it year-round than to switch to all standard time. Not to mention many of us find DST strictly superior given the common work/life schedule. In the summer, standard time would mean it gets light even more ridiculously early than it already does, so you just lose useful light, rather than having it to enjoy summer evenings outdoors. In the winter it's certainly more of a preference thing, but there are plenty of us who would sacrifice light in the morning for more light after work.
Apple is Anti-Web
iOS is absolutely terrible when it comes to WebGL. It is practically unusable. I tried all major browsers and each is just as equally bad. There is no Text-to-speech support either. Terrible experience. Apple is anti-web.

It is a disaster...why bother supporting it at all, if its performance is so degraded as to be useless.

Apple is purposefully ignoring the web ecosystems to force users into its walled garden.

I have an android that is 3-4 years old running sites flawlessly across all browsers....and I have an iPhone 13 that cannot get FPS above 15?
I use Porkbun because they're typically the cheapest, tbh. They have a really nice interface too, but my registrar isn't something I interact with more than once a year typically. As long as they aren't shady like GoDaddy, it doesn't matter that much. There's tons of good options.

> Now those extracurricular achievements are thoroughly gamed. [...] (mostly richer kids have more help though)

It’s to be expected.

Any metric can and will be gamed. An acquaintance who teaches biology (lot of rote) told me how grades skyrocketed in his classroom after they switched to online classes. He attributed it to students (a lot of them foreign from China and India) being more comfortable asking questions via email instead of in-classroom due to English being their second (or third!) language. I had a different theory.

I’m not surprised most extracurriculars will be created in order to game the system (ever seen a club where all members are presidents?). At least, maybe the kids will do something else (that they are interested in) for a few hours a week instead of spending those cramming to get fraction of points improvement on testing. I recall someone from such country telling me people told him it was a waste of time learning to program (!!) since that wouldn’t help him answer exam questions a little bit faster than his peers. He, at the time, was envious of US kids that could spend time doing robotics or CS and have it count toward something for college admission.
So more dark hours in the morning when it's more dangerous.
Once you've experienced 25 years of being down bad, it is a part of your identity. For many of these men, being down bad is their entire life. It's also something that other people label other men as. You don't necessarily get to choose the identity - people throw you into that camp without your choice.

The other aspect of it is that it's not purely mental or what not. It's not like they just need to take a shower and put on a clean shirt. It's something far more fundamental that is broken and many are autists/aspies. Some are normal but the overwhelming case is that many have very unpleasant physical features. So, they're just ugly dudes who might not have anything exceptional to note about them. Add in a bit of social anxiety, awkwardness, etc.

The guys like the Santa Barbara killer and what not are just unhinged psychos. I don't think being an "incel" at that point has any relation. Just as many unhinged psychos going on about degradation of their race of choice, immigrants are yadda yadda, etc. These people just needed something - anything - to latch their psychosis onto. If it wasn't for race crimes - they'd think people were secretly Nazis or something and they were killing them for the good of humanity.

I guess my point is - I find that many people in these communities who have degenerate views of women and what not are also people who have degenerate views of other classes of people too. They have a fundamental brain/belief-system/way-they-were-raised issue. The incel community is just an outlet for that degeneracy.
I'm not sure what they are using right now, but they currently have the "AWS-LC Cryptographic Module" listed as being in process for validation which may be sufficient for s2n.

I know there are other AWS features/services that are lined up behind that validation for FIPS support.
> How does one discover these alternative UIs?

Social trust networks -- they get recommended by friends or shared online by someone you trust.

> How can average user trust that the data on these alternative UIs isn't being manipulated?

Those same social trust networks -- someone realizes what's going on and shares it, people start telling other people to stop using it. There's no technological solution to prevent technological abuse -- the abuse can be built into the system, after all. Half the warnings about "stop using this site" are warnings about a first party UI -- "Facebook is reading your messages!" or "Youtube is hiding dislikes!" or whatever. Social networks (as in, networks of people, not websites) are the only way this sort of knowledge is ever spread.

> How long you think it will take until big sites would routinely do small tweaks to their databases/structures to systemically break these alternative UIs?

Not long, of course. I'm not sure if this is an argument in favor of Web3, though, since that can work the same way -- a startup needs to move fast and frequently change things to iterate, which means they will be changing the data representation on the blockchain frequently (going forward, of course they can't change past blocks), which means alternative clients will need to keep up with those data changes same as with API changes on a normal website.

> More so why would any of these for profit websites, like Youtube, even have a presence on web3?

? Web3 is just as for-profit as the normal web, if not more since every database interaction is monetized? YT and the like aren't on it because there aren't that many users.

Can you expand on why you don't think this will go into effect soon? This is the first I've heard of this bill but given the unanimous passage in the Senste it seems odd that it would fail in the House.

Also, IIRC, bills must originate in the House, which makes me think something like this has already passed there at some point.
If that's true it's fascinating, could you suggest a resource I could use to learn more about this? If you know you are both just going to be punished and justice wasn't retaliative nor restorative, what would be the point of bringing a grievance to the authorities?
Nah, it's an emotional thing for a lot of people who haven't considered it - they just hate that it gets dark early and it makes them sad. I've had this conversation with a lot of people and almost all of them agree it's a good system when they understand why we do it. Especially for people in the Northern parts of the country.
A catastrophe for America (Americans) or for the countries listed and their people? Only one of those is relevant.[0]

My greater point here is that global politics is an inherently amoral game. By extension a morality-based strategy is inherently sub-optimal.

It depends on whether you have a prescriptive or descriptive view of the language. Usually, smug people who enjoy correcting other’s speech lean prescriptive.

ASRock already did this in 2020.

https://wccftech.com/asrock-amd-ryzen-5000-cpu-bios-support-...

Then AMD told them to stop it. Which is why that BIOS never got an official release and never appeared on ASRock's website.

There are people that have been running 5000 CPUs on ASRock for over a year now.

Conversely, you can run first gen Ryzen on B550/X570. Which many people seem to bizarrely think is impossible. Possibly due to AMD's marketing.
