Time on a clock has a relation to the position of the sun. By ancient definition 12PM would be when the Sun is at the highest point in the sky.

Standardized time zones made this sort of squishy, but if you'd average the errors over the area of the timezone it would still be mostly right. At least to the point where you don't feel like lying to a child when you tell them that noon is the middle of the day.
The book the Bloodlands is far better researched than I claim to be:

Lots of fun, but the issue with the images (is this the problem?) needs to be fixed. And the command issue where everyone sees the output - I wonder how hard that would be to address. Neat app!
> No, learning to get up early forces kids to learn to go to bed on time, that's a valuable skill that teaches discipline. If a kid has to suffer through getting up on 5 hours sleep they probably won't make that mistake again.

You are arguing against many well-documented studies about what school hours work best for kids to learn. "on time" is entirely based on what time you need to get up. The whole point of moving school later is for "on time" to be compatible with the hours that kids are more functional. This is not a matter of discipline; deciding you're going to be up and functional earlier does not change your body or the sun's position in the sky to be compatible with that. (If you want to argue otherwise, argue in published studies refuting the ones that exist, not in replies to this comment.)

Move school hours to start several hours later than they currently do, and then by all means encourage the discipline of getting up in time for school.
Yes. I see it now.
The message I get is that if you are a founder's friend, it's not your job to do the heavy criticism. He will get criticism all around the entire day anyway, you don't want to add into it.

But I bet there are reasonable exceptions everywhere. It's way too complex an issue to have such a simple answer.
The jobs I've worked outside we started the day in the dark often times (construction, landscaping). What jobs have you worked that required perfect natural lighting the entire time? I'm assuming it's a decent minority of jobs.
Nobody notices when things go right. :)
My youngest kid (4 years old) is like this. He wakes up at the "old" time for about a month.

Normally he wakes up between 6am and 630am. 730am is too late for school, so right now I have to wake him up for him to get there on time. And 5am is too early for me. Heh.
Programming has a high context switch
For example, I have periods where I can be heavily focused on coding at a project, but as a result my personal life suffers. The same effect is also observed in the reverse, where increased social interactions cause my code to suffer. Wonder if this applies to anyone else and if so, what is your technique for juggling between both priorities?
It also means that they'll get out of school early enough to exercise and play in the sunlight. I'd take that any day.
It's a difference if you just woke up or if you are already awake the whole day.
I mostly use / and ? for jumping about in the code. It’s always just a few keystrokes and you’re where you want to be.
Does anyone actually use Copilot for their work? I can't imagine it's anywhere near as reliable as OpenAI claims. I'd imagine a user would spend more time fixing mistakes or re-trying with different queries than they'd actually save.
A real life technology tree would be cool
But many people don't care about that, and would rather not get up an hour early every day relative to actual night and day cycles.
I must be the only person who has never seen it. Binging the Sopranos has me yearning to see it now.
If you'd like to help with that, you could let us know at hn@ycombinator.com when you see offtopic or generic tangents. We downweight those when we see them, but we don't come close to seeing everything that gets posted here. There's far too much.
> I learned when I was a kid.

From my experience, having experienced being a kid does not prepare you very much for the task of raising one.
While Nim has of course evolved, it was first released publicly in 2008, and I believe began in private around 2003..2004. Nim is also safe [1] and competes fine with C/C++ across the board, IMO { as do many other PLs. }.

> There's a pro-DST lobby because more post-work daylight hours is correlated with higher consumer spending. For that reason, permanent DST is more politically expedient in relation to permanent standard time.

You're probably overthinking this. Not every government action is a five-level Machiavellian scheme. Sometimes overwhelming public sentiment carries the day.
> who have established that one or ten person team can conquer many a Goliaths, or bring to the world something entirely new.

I wonder how many of those teams couldn't answer what was better about their product than the one they were replacing? I'll bet Google themselves could have answered that question, comparing themselves to Yahoo, back in the day.
Not OP but I avoid default exports unless I need to do a lazy import. For me, there's a few reasons: consistent naming, easier importing, encourages importing what you need, avoids weird situation where you do both a default and named import.

Consistent naming: since I named the exported thing, that's what the consumers will call it as well unless they go out of their way to do `import { X as Y } from '...'`. This is useful because it helps ensure all consuming code looks similar at least in it's usage of modules. More familiar code is easier to read and reason about. It's also useful for looking up usages of something. I know I can run $IDE's version of "Find Usage" but sometimes it's easier to just Ctrl+Shift+F > X.

Easier importing: If I have something exported as X then I go to a module that isn't using it and I type X, my editor will suggest I import it from the appropriate module. This _can_ work on default exports but only if you use the same name as was used internally at the point of definition. That kind of defeats the benefit of default imports where you can use whatever name you want without hassle and it's your responsibility to make sure you match the names correctly.

Encourages importing what you need: when you default to named exports, you default to pulling in the bare minimum to do the job. Consider the opposite case. Someone imports some monolithic chunk of code as a single object then does `library.thingIWant` with a bunch of different things. Now you've got a larger possible space to look at when trying to load all of the context of a file in to your head. This is also useful for tree shaking. Assuming you've written your code in a well-defined manner and are using a smart build system, it can more easily eliminate dead code because it knows you never import certain pieces of a module. This applies to both your code and code from third-parties.

Both default and named imports: This is common when working with React. You'll see `import React, { useState } from 'react'` or similar. I don't have a rational answer for this but it rubs me the wrong way.
If you attach a time zone, then at least some won't need to do a conversion in their heads.

If you just use UTC, then EVERYONE has to do some conversion in their heads.

(Unless some participants happen to live at the prime meridian, in which case using UTC as "the timezone" is equally as good.)
The earliest that sunrise happens in the continental US is around 5AM during DST, so the earliest it would go is 4AM. That is in the extreme north of the country (excluding Alaska, which I'd say is not worth including in the conversation given its unique circumstances), on the eastern edges of time zones. So I don't know what you're talking about. If you read the article linked above, it specifically points out that there are measurable, concrete negative health effects from DST but not from standard time. So no, the sun rising early doesn't really stress you out the same way getting up before sunrise does. Not at all.
How do these newer potential solutions compare to distributing packages and GPG-signed hash manifests over HTTP, with GPG public keys retrieved over HTTPS (HKP)? (Maybe with keys pinned in the GPG source codes for common key servers? Or why not?)

Are DNS (DNSSEC, DoH, DoT downgrade attacks), CA compromise (SPOF), and x.509 cert forgery still the significant potential points of failure? What of that can e.g. Web3 solve for?
I don't care if we pick permanent DST or Standard time, or abolish time zones altogether and just use UTC. It's the change that I dislike!
Is there a go-to implementation of typed map/reduce/filter with 1.18?
I remember a guide on a trip a number of years back telling that she rather liked the northern latitude (Alaska). In winter you're screwed anyway and in summer you have more light than you know what to do with. I'm sure an hour shift doesn't make things much different. Most of the people arguing are arguing around states where there is sort of enough light most of the year but some people like it earlier and some later.
> What other countries are constantly drone assassinating people in other countries territories?

So you can only be murdered in your sleep by a drone? Nothing else counts?

But yea sure whatever. Here's 5 seconds of Google search [1].

> but those campaigns accompany full blown open military campaigns, quite a bit different to US signature strike operations.

I think that's a bizarre distinction to draw. Why would a military operation justify anything? U.S. drone strikes previously did accompany full-blown military campaign anyway.

I don’t think that it’s true of airports, for example. I am not an expert in this, and have mostly focused on the baseball side of things, but the work I have seen from neutral economists are pretty clear that these taxpayer dollars are not high RoI.

Your comment boils down to “all government spending on this list of items is equally inefficient, so why not build stadiums instead of airports.” I think that ignores the fact that airports are infrastructure, whereas sports are entertainment. Personally, I don’t think the govt should spend money on entertainment when the financial beneficiaries could easily cover the costs.

Also, in baseball, the owners are the last types of people I would support. They don’t even care all that much about the product on field - there is not a structural incentive to put a better product on the field. The comparison of billionaires to millionaires is also deceptive - that is a huge chasm, and players are being paid for producing value, using the income from their labor. Owners are paid because they have odd tax breaks (did you know they can depreciate their team purchase cost, despite team values consistently beating index returns?)

Lords of the realm is a great book to get insight into MLB owners.
I still remember when Discord was primarily a voice chat (later, with screen sharing features too), essentially a replacement for TeamSpeak/Mumble/Ventrilo, not IRC or XMPP MUC.

Looks like those days it's more of a Slack/Gitter/IRC alternative.
The status quo is more complex than what the senate has voted for (it requires transitions, the shifting of schedules twice a year, etc.). The new approach is less complex.

The assertion that the time is "not someone's business" is incorrect. The time is everyone's business. We are going to stick to a standard time after this policy -- it's going to be daylight savings time all the time, although we will probably stop calling it that after we all get used to the policy. Individuals or groups will be equally free to adopt their own schedules both before and after this policy change -- this policy is not a change on that front.

> In the US, I've been to supposedly Zen practices that had an emphasis on "acknowledging/honoring" the bodhisattvas prior to meditation; to me, as an agnostic, it felt very similar to worship.

Oh yeah, this goes on. It's very common during zazenkai or sesshin to honour the ancestors and so some full on chants and even prostrations; I felt the same way as you did for at the beginning -- it really fucked with my atheist elitism, but really those problems were mine not theirs :}

Wear the silly hat, do a few bows, it helps more than it hurts.

And, sorry, there is no god outside of yourself :}
No. I'm no fan at all of the US regime and the atrocities it committed, but these atrocities aren't a free pass for other countries to commit war crimes and remain criticism-free.

The fact that Blackwater exists doesn't make Wagner any less evil. Whataboutism is using one to shut down conversations about the other.
It's easy to focus on abductions and forget all of the other relevant crime, which makes up the majority of it.

Yes abductions are low, but in many many areas crime as a whole is high, and children are often involved or impacted, and likely more so when they are stuck standing around in the dark.
So now your morning rush hour is longer in the dark, doesn't get safer that way.
I use copilot, it's much more useful than you'd expect. Really helpful for places where you would normally need to record a small macro, copilot can infer the completions easily
Quicksort and Bresenham aren't useful either because hardly anyone works at that low of a level and the libraries we actually use probably have deeper optimizations by now like hybrid sorts.

So I assume at least part of the usefulness is that the principle applies to unrelated domains?
Whatever you have to say, I think mocking this person is wrong. Maybe you don't mean it to come across that way, but that's what it looks like to me.

Also, that's not how trauma works. People can't get out of it emotionally and mentally, like people who suffer abuse in other contexts. Also, people need money to survive, and exploitation is sadly not unusual.
Interesting point!
I've been around, and there very few 9-to-5 places that mind if people work 10-to-6 or 8-to-4 instead.
Yeah, and that is because being a teacher is not just an incredibly mentally taxing job (made worse by the fact that class sizes are way too large) but also involves an awful lot of invisible after-school work: preparing and correcting exams, preparing class material, dealing with IEPs, following up with parents (particularly in financially or otherwise challenged families), organizing after-school and extra-curricular activities, dealing with other bureaucratic bullshit because the administration is understaffed...
I mean my company, which isn't small, jumped ship from G-suite based SSO for Okta a few years back out of business concern - so while single anecdotes don't make for proofs it's definitely not non-existent.

I'd also suggest just bringing your tone down, this isn't a fight and calling people on the other side of the argument "hyperventilating" doesn't really do anything to promote meaningful discussion.
> When you go with dark mornings, you are combining the worst road conditions with the worst visibility.

You're still passing the buck to commutes during dark evenings. Driving at night is always more dangerous:

In highschool I was friends with a Mormon kid. After graduation I was headed for college and he was headed out on his two year mission trip to Brazil.

Personally, I thought it was a very foolish decision to spend two years going door to door in Brazil. I also thought it was a net negative as I don't believe in Mormonism and don't think it's a good thing to recruit more people to believe in it.

I was conflicted about what to do. Should I try to convince my friend he was wrong to go? Just stay quiet, like this article recommends or ask some politely phrased question?

I wound up splitting the difference and tried gently making the case to him that he wasting his time. I didn't come at the argument as hard or often as I might have and I didn't leave it entirely alone. We had one awkward conversation about it, that I could tell he found off-putting or offensive, and that was that. He went off to Brazil and I never saw nor spoke to him again.

I still don't know what the right thing to do then was and I have the same conflict about the advice in this article. If I genuinely think my friend is making a mistake I shouldn't directly confront them about it? I don't think I buy that, even if it makes things less awkward.

I see the polite rephrase advice as being generally good probably. I'd just say that it's probably different by person. Some people prefer direct challenges. "You'll never do it without a great UI!"
I misplaced my copy of The Art Of Multiprocessor Programming with the details, but with a simple CAS primitive you can build a general N-CAS algorithm and from that implement any algorithm ina a truly wait free way. It will be slow and won't scale, but will indeed be wait free
The only reason why paycheck-to-paycheck happens is because you're not making enough money to support your lifestyle. So either make more money or cut something out.

None of the numbers you gave seem particularly jarring, but $110k as a tech director in NYC seems crazy under-market, so I'd vote for "make more money."
First of all, I'd like to say that this looks like a great project and I wish you the best of luck. I've done a bit of work on building knowledge graphs from semi-structured data and I know that every aspect of it is challenging. Obviously there's the data pipelines, ETL, semantic matching/categorization, statistical models, etc. Just building a simple UI for presenting a large knowledge graph was more challenging than most front end work I've ever done.

Question: if the goal is to build a knowledge graph that can "explain how anything in the world is related to everything else" how do you measure progress toward that goal? And how do you measure the quality? Just having a bunch of topics and relationships is not a great metric in my opinion. Obviously this is still very early, but here's an example I found in about 30 seconds of clicking around:

"Evidence suggests that Heart Failure is related to Income and COVID-19." [https://www.system.com/view/topic/P0XELnR0PaK]

There are topics in System for "Obesity" and "Smoking", but those are not associated to Heart Failure.
I still go most days without seeing one

I can't do that even if I don't leave the house. There's a school near our house, and there are a lot of Tesla school buses that drive by. :-) But multiples in a single outing? How about multiples at the same intersection? It is not uncommon to see three at a stoplight, all pointing different directions, and all the same color even. Even in the heyday of MSFT stock options, I don't think I'd see that many cars of a single luxury brand everywhere I go. It's cool and all, yet strangely bizarre at the same time. Like Tesla ownership is a rite of passage for Microsoft employees or something. :-)

So you can imagine how strange it is to me when we travel to visit my parents in central FL, and don't see a single one the whole time.
> On the other hand you are not distinguishing countries that have signed but not yet ratified the treaty, leaving only 41 members.

The US has also signed but not yet ratified the treaty. We're not one of the 41 who haven't signed.

> Of those 41 members feel free to highlight those countries which are shining examples of rule of law and human rights.

I couldn't name any countries I would consider "shining examples of rule of law and human rights", ICC member or not. Even the ICC itself has been accused of racism and neo-colonialism because nearly all its prosecutions have targeted Africa.

I did notice that Ukraine, like us, signed but didn't ratify the treaty, which I thought was interesting at this time.
The House still needs to pass it and President needs to sign it, but based on another comment it sounds like they're targeting November 2023. That would mean the last clock change would be March 2023.
It is, which means it targets higher net worth individuals. I just listened to a darknet diaries episode where they talk about how much these attacks cost to execute - some are $10-100k per target.

I think you are correct. Was able to get in by first doing `ssh-keygen -t ed25519` to create new private/public keys (be careful not to overwrite ssh keys that you are already using for other things!). RSA support is being phased out in various places.

Another similar device, although more powerful and more interesting hardware-wise, would be the Pocket Popcorn Computer, which unfortunately still hasn't provided any proof of being a real product other than shiny 3D renders.

Edit: I stand corrected, totally missed the blog posts and the videos, happy to see I was wrong; the pandemic has been hard for many businesses unfortunately.
If I may, they should put something on the homepage too however, as I recall monitoring it from time to time since probably over two years and it never showed that there were working prototypes. This would help to fuel interest.
I think this is appropriate in some cases but not others. For example how does the JSON value distinguish between `Some(null)` and `None`?
On Linux, not really. Sometimes I disconnect my keyboard and reconnect it again, so the swapping gets restored, and I accidentally hit Caps Lock AND EVERYTHING IS BIG NOW. THEN I RUN THE SWAP COMMAND AND I'M NOW STUCK IN CAPS LOCK MODE unless I could just hit Escape again, which if I didn't swap, I couldn't.

Jokes aside, it's mostly on Windows I have use for caps lock as some games I play use that key for things, so it's handy to have it swapped instead.
They could also shift when school schedules start to later in the morning.
I have Family that lives in Lake Havasu right by the border. When driving there my phone will often get confused and switch between the 2 time zones.
> Businesses have customers.

This seems like a laughable reason given that traditional business hours are literally the exact same as traditional work hours, so by this argument all the supposed customers are at work anyway and thus not at your store.
Hah - I always "joke" that when you write code that deals with time zones, plan to write it twice. Same with DST boundaries. It's a real mind-bender!
When I was in school, there were absolutely kids who lacked basic necessities, including quality clothing. Clothing was also more expensive back then... but universal schooling means that we're also catering to the poorest of the poor.
what does "and my own budget" mean though? like are we talking tea pantry budget or several millions. maybe that was the sticking factor.
Putin’s Nuclear Threats Are a Wake-Up Call for the World
Fine, make standard time permanent instead.
if we're doing permanent daylight saving time, I propose just doing year-long standard time because it's effectively the same thing.
Making DST permanent is essentially forcing everyone to wake up earlier in the day. All we're doing is calling 7 am, now 8 am to get people to psychologically accept this. This is a win for morning people who function better earlier... AND this is a loss for all the non-morning people who will now be forced to work, go to school, etc at a time when they don't operate optimally.
