I agree, but for entirely different reasons.

Yes, someone ought to ask those questions; no, it should not be you. Sadly, most of the time someone gets really fired up about an idea, you can't really stop them, even if it is a terrible idea on the face of it. All you can really do is be around to pick up the pieces after they slam headfirst into one of the many obstacles.
The term black tea is ambiguous because it refers to different things depending on where you are/who you are talking to. In the west, black tea generally refers to a fully oxidized (autolysis) red tea that has not been fermented. However, in other parts of the world black tea refers to fermented puerh. How the puerh is fermented depends on whether it is wet or dry processed (shu vs sheng) but fermentation is an important part of both processes.
My most productive time was when my girlfriend lived with me for two years. I could just focus and didn't ever feel like I needed to leave. She was happy doing house keeping and I was happy working. She left to go take classes and get a job (she's convinced she wants to do that before getting married.) I've watched her become unhappy, restless, and depressed the same way I have.
"most people consider Buddhism not theistic"

In practice, a lot of Buddhists are very theistic. Many of them worship various gods and Buddhas.

In the West, Buddhism has been desacrilized to make it more palatable for Westerners, but in the East it's often way more religious and theistic, especially as the Buddhism that actually exists in those countries has often been blended with other indigenous religions which themselves are very theistic.
This comment is correct.

I am proposing that the US state no longer exist.

The use cases of a single government having domain over such a large land mass, when 50 smaller states are already defined and functioning, are dwindling amidst the information age.

The crimes described in this article are utterly intolerable. Nobody wants this.
My counterpoint to that comparison is that people don't have increased heart attacks and crash their cars on leap days.

Our measurement of time is fuzzy, you're right, and we have fuzzy systems to deal with it. But not all fuzzy logic and corrections are equally severe; adding an extra day every 4 years is a much smaller intervention than making a day last 23/25 hours twice a year, and that twice-a-year intervention comes with much larger effects than an extra day in February.

Our calendar/hour system for days/time is a map, and the map is not the territory. However, some maps are still more accurate than other maps.

It's also worth asking whether these interventions are making time easier or harder to reason about: 24 hours a day, 365 days a year is a nice set of numbers to work with, and it's a system that is standardized across most of the entire world if not the entire world at this point. The alternative would be very difficult to reason about or to do math with (if we were even capable of changing it at all), so we introduce some fuzzy corrections so that most of the time the math is easier, and that comes with almost no cost to society.

In contrast, DST/standard shifts make calendar math in the US harder, not easier, and they aren't standardized across the majority of the world, which makes it even harder to coordinate with people in other countries. And the intervention not only doesn't make the math easier, it also comes with large costs to society in the form of sleep-deprived people killing themselves and others every single March.

> Assemblyman Vince Fong (R-Bakersfield) noted that environmental standards are not being changed. “We are changing what they apply to,” he said.

Either the environmental review standards are good and needed.. or they are not. This is post-hoc ruling and I am curious how the court will react.

It's also kind of bullshit. Children can do some farm work, but the majority of farm work is going to be done by adults and teenagers.

Farmers have been mostly against DST since the beginning. It was golfers, bug catchers, and 7-11 that wanted it.

And permanent DST has failed when it was tried here in the 70s, in the UK a few years before that, and in Russia as recent as the 2010s. Why do we want to do it again?
Looking at some videos, overall my impression is that it's too large to be very portable, but too small to be truly usable. The device sits in a bit of a size "dead zone" where it has the worst aspects of all form factors.
There is very little reason to DOS a client and a lot of reasons to attack servers.

There is a huge number of public facing services that implement mutual auth and all those are potentially vulnerable to DOS. While clients can just decide to not connect to a web service that causes their browser to malfunction (and why have you connected there in the first place?), services are usually not at liberty to ignore a client at this stage.

So yes, those servers that do request client certificate are targets and my point still stands that servers are much more affected than the clients.

What would be an affected client? You keep connecting to this infected website that causes your browser to die? Somebody embedded some tracking on their page that now points to an infected website? Everybody will just move on and it is hard to say you are very much affected by this problem.

Whereas if you are a service and you are affected you absolutely need to implement a fix.
1. There are a lot of jobs out there in corp dev and you overestimate how long the process takes at non tech companies. I’ve literally started looking for a job on Monday and had an offer that Thursday. I changed jobs 5 times from 2008-2018 (around the same years he’s been working) and it never took me more than a month. This as a regular old C# backend CRUD developer. No DS&A and only one coding interview. I’m not counting my most recent job in 2020, it was a slight pivot.

You would be surprised about how fast recruiters start spamming you once you change your LinkedIn status.

2. At $110K in NYC as a developer with three kids, he can’t be too picky about what he is willing to sacrifice.

3. As a software developer with 12 years of experience in the US in 2022, unless he is “eat the chalk” dumb - and I doubt he is - he is basically guaranteed another job paying more.
I think there are two distinct arguments against nix-env:

1. Imperative package management is evil

2. The package name-based interface used by nix-env is evil

I don't ascribe to (1); I quite like installing things "the old-fashioned way." Saying "install this thing" is a very nice, familiar UX. (Even if under the hood you implement that as "add this to my declared list of packages and then rebuild the world," I would still rather run a single command than edit a text file and then run a command most of the time.)

But I think that (2) is true, for the reasons outlined in that post. I have never really heard anyone defending name-based operations; the universal consensus is that it was a bad decision made decades ago. It's something that you can avoid if you are aware of the problem, but it is still, for backwards compatibility, the "default" way that nix-env works. (And although you can install packages the "right" way, you have to resort to name-based operations if you use nix-env's built-in uninstall or upgrade commands, which is also very confusing.)

nix-env -irf is neither (1) imperative nor (2) name-based; I use it as a way to implement my home-rolled declarative package management solution linked in the sibling, taking advantage of the fact that nix-env is okay at building profiles already. The flags literally mean "uninstall everything, then install everything that is listed in this file," but what that translates to is "create a new profile with the contents of this file, disregarding the contents of the current profile."

Don't get me wrong but for me opposite is true.

Even though S.O. helps with chores you have to book everything for 2 people, adjust plans accordingly. Basically consumes your processing power with many more variables to account for.

OTOH when I was single, I was able to focus on something whenever I want and wherever I want.

This is especially true for less hours but more fragmented structure. For instance, I would carry my laptop with me everywhere since I don't have to carry other things. And when I am sipping my coffee I get an idea and implement/test on point.

Meanwhile with someone it is not so easy. They see you having a backpack and then they add stuff in it since you're already carrying it. Not complaining here, since it is also logical thing to do.

Then, you need to keep your attention on your partner. You cannot immediately focus on something of your hobbies or work.

tl:dr; Basically with someone, you need to create slots like "work" "hobbies" "events" and "private". Sometimes you will want to get things done in another slot but having to communicate and reschedule everything is too much work. So you try to be 50-70% productive on that slot than whenever (now?) you want.
"Republican Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida, a sponsor of the legislation, said he doesn't have any assurance the House will take it up" in https://www.cnn.com/2022/03/15/politics/senate-daylight-savi...

There’s nothing wrong with a language being strict with what you can do to force good programming styles. An expectation of competence is nice if you can afford it, but it’s also nice to have languages that mean you don’t have to take that risk. It’s why I liked Go and why I disliked working in Haskell. Look at Lisp - large teams get tied in knots because of the freedom. Go was nice because it just stopped you doing ‘smart’ things. Now it has generics you may as well use Rust or something else.
Good. NIMBYs are a huge problem, and any argument predicated on "preserving the character" is disingenuous at best and racist at worst. It's sad that legislation once designed to do so much good has been weaponized by such obstructionists.
> Can't say thank you enough for the massively informative and thorough response!

No problem. Feel free to reach out via email (address on my profile), if you like. From many interactions in threads, it seems you've got an interest in FreeBSD and Erlang, which matches with my background. Always happy to answer your questions. :)

> But doesn't that imply your having to fork FreeBSD just to use it. If so, doesn't that seem excessive for most organizations?

Well, I wouldn't do it as a fork, because trying to manage it as a fork is exhausting (at least it was for me, when I took over after someone else had setup a fork, trying to move our patches from one releng branch to another was worse than with scripts, and just the pull and push for regular updates was tedious; it probably gets better with practice). At WhatsApp, we had a script that had the release (ex 12.1) at the top, and it would pull the latest from that release branch, apply the handful of patches (/usr/bin/patch < foo.patch || exit), and then run make world/makekernel and then implore the operator to run make install. It wasn't a big script, and we didn't have many patches. You need/want some sort of setup script anyway, so it may as well pull in a couple patches, and make world is a reasonable burn-in test for new servers. You could probably centralize and build binary updates for your fleet too, but we never did. If your organization ends up with zero patches, then it's even easier. I don't think it's unreasonable to expect an organization to do some effort to mange the OS they run on, but honestly, I don't know what the alternative is.

The more important to the business a piece of software, the more likely it is to need a couple patches here and there; for us, all of our servers ran it, so it was kind of important (although, we did end up switching to Linux to harmonize with FB's systems, and that seems to have worked out well enough[1], but then FB had a team to manage the Linux OS install as well). We also had patches for Erlang, and a couple lighttpd patches (nothing exciting), and maybe some for yaws (an Erlang webserver). As a rule, software is broken, but open source lets you fix it :D

> You're not suggesting to use STABLE, correct. You'd still use RELEASE but rarely update it.

Yes, exactly. I don't think I've ever really used STABLE; either CURRENT for bleeding edge testing/development (when needed) or RELEASE for regular production.

[1] there are things that broke, but were fixed (or worked around) easily, and things I liked better on FreeBSD, but mostly I avoided the Linux systems until we ran out of FreeBSD systems, then I quit. :) A lot of the things I disliked were related to how Facebook runs their systems, and I doubt that running on FreeBSD instead would have changed those things; it just would have meant that we would have to port things to FreeBSD that we (or at least I) didn't like anyway. :)
Seriously. Don't understand why businesses can't have hours like "from sunup to sundown".

Wouldn't even need to check the time to see if it is open or not, you can just look outside.

Plus...we have the super advanced technology needed to figure out when sundown is on our smartphones!
DST is "summer time", so the sun rises later but sets later too.
At this point your main clocks, your phone and your computer, change themselves for you. Daylight savings time is no big deal really, it's just something to gripe about.

That said, I'm heavily in favor of ending it. It's stupid. But I disagree that permanent DST is less stupid than time changes. I think the idea of permanently having the clock say an hour later than it is is just as senseless or more so than the yearly switch. Just end this madness and be done with it.
There is a lot more intelligence around business use cases being built inside Zipy compared to say Clarity or SmartLook or FullStory. We have plans to focus more on developer needs and build deeper integrations with GitLab, slack and JIRA to solve for these.

You can integrate the C910 (should work for the C906 as well) in Olof Kindgren's FuseSoC tool, see

My 2cents, I'm a software engineer and have been in industry for long time(~20 years). A new programming language doesn't excite me anymore as it used to do 5-10 years ago, then I encountered Rust and I really liked it. All my personal projects, small utilities are written in rust. I specifically look for Rust related HN posts. I think there are many people like me who appreciate rust as a programming language and they make such posts.
This is a significant repudiation of the NIMBY point of view. When was the last time that literally every statewide elected official came together to unanimously pass a law over the span of 4 days? Californians of every party are united in the belief that Phil Bokovoy is a jerk.
My master‘s thesis was related to finding and implementing a music library vis tool, which should show relations between artists and songs by grouping them together. One important aspect I learned is that, in 2D space, there are only so many nodes you can add before the graph becomes useless. You could display nodes multiple times in the same graph, but this lowers usability a great deal.

I‘m curious how this problem will be dealt with.
White tea does not undergo the "killgreen" step that green teas and oolongs teas do IIRC. The drying slows the oxidation but does not arrest it. "Aged" white tea is a thing. If you let it sit around long enough it turns deep red. Green tea just turns into stale tea. They even compress white teas into something similar to those "Pu'er Cakes".
Just to be slightly contrarian, I've also seen in tech companies that layoffs are often the only way to get rid of "mediocre-ly poor" but not egregiously bad performers.

That is, I've worked with people that didn't completely suck, but to quote Office Space, they always did the absolute bare minimum. Few companies have the Netflix mindset of letting people go with a large severance if they aren't top performers, so these mediocre folks can just be allowed to fester.

TBH, I've been glad as an engineer to see the company (belatedly) handle these sub-par performers, and to these folks benefit they get a fair severance and can usually find other jobs quickly.

Of course not all layoffs are like this, and often times layoffs at a large company are done "unevenly" as others have pointed out, but I have been in a company before where layoffs allowed the company to focus and perform better.
Does anyone have an example of a useful, interesting post that started with "please don't"? (Rhetorical question)
I wish we could change the phrase “economic incentive”.

At the very essence of Economics it is the focus on actions human beings, fundamentally trade and labor. And it seeks the most optimal level of benefit or utility for humans.

This is an incentive for companies, not necessarily humanity.
Seems like an odd move to undercut the checks and balances courts are supposed to have over legislation. Enacting a law solely to undercut a court's decision seems spurious, and may blow back on both the legislation and the school.

Saving the child would be the consequence of the wrong action. It just happens that this particular consequence is the desired one. This doesn't magically transform the ethical value of an action. Thinking otherwise ("Finis sanctificat media") is the root of all kinds of evil in the world.

> Timezones don't try to be "correct", they try to be useful

This is correct. As engineers we can design the most symmetric and "perfect" system, but at the end of the day, if it's not useful, people will just adopt something else instead.

> 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.

There's a good argument against having too many time zones (this article is about continuous timezones, but the arguments are still applicable)

https://qntm.org/continuous
>Why would they pick this one?

Money. [1]

On the upside, local or state governments might be able to alter their time zone to essentially observe permanent Standard Time.

>Seasonal observation of DST was first enacted in the US during World Wars I and II, as an attempt to conserve fuel. The practice was unpopular and promptly repealed after each war; however, lobbyists from the petroleum industry lobbied to restore DST, as they had noticed it actually increased fuel consumption. Petroleum lobbyists joined with lobbyists from golf and candy corporations in the 1980s to form the National Daylight Saving Time Coalition, and they have twice since succeeded in extending the length of DST's observation from six months to seven in 1986, and again to eight months in 2005. The observation of DST has also been found to increase residential energy costs and pollution costs by several million dollars per year.

A college town that was filled with ordinary college commotion is largely silent day and night. The streets of Berkeley, California near campus are empty for more than a year now. University Avenue, a major road leading to campus is quiet day and night, it used to be filled with cars, music and daily activity. Half of restaurants and most retail have closed in the last two years; parties are hidden due to covid-19. What has replaced it in the downtown and flatlands are super-scary predatory criminal loners, hard core drug-addicted mentally ill and some of the most expensive housing in the United States. Landlords feasted on the rental income derived from "market forces" of thousands of 20-somethings working for FAANG and bio-tech. The homes in the hills are overflowing with paper income, and the covid-19 rates are among the lowest in the western US due to a combination of factors.

It is a stunning turn of events, worthy of Heinlein. The behemoth schools that are UC Berkeley continues to bring in nine-figure money with off-shore students paying high tuition, looking for their chance to strike it rich in the high tech scene, while those of ordinary means are economically crushed.
I clicked on "unemployment" and the results were unsatisfying to say the least. All it told me was that unemployment is related to being out of work or unemployed. I love the idea though.
Or that DST support is not even built or an afterthought.

You should know in how many frameworks and libraries i18n is an afterthought and much more cumbersome than necessary.
