A more recent study somewhat casts doubt on those conclusions:

Besides, it's not like standard time is any more natural than daylight savings. The whole adherence to a strict twenty-four hour cycle is unnatural. In antiquity, people would plan their days around sunrise and sunset, and their bodies would gradually adjust to the seasonal shortening and lengthening of daylight with no abrupt transition necessary.
I've used xdg-ninja. And it does feel futile. Which is why my original comment comes across a bit more as frustrated/exasperated bug report than an HN comment.

Right now everything that xdg-ninja finds are all things with a .prefix and hidden. which is whatever. if this was ~/.grayjay, I probably would have rolled my eyes but not even bothered to comment. I'm not a stickler about XDG, but I am a bit of a stickler about not cluttering my home directory.

I think that's the plan, and also get a feeling that you're making some kind of progress. A couple of weeks ago I had a meeting with a German person that spoke Swedish, and I really stumbled my way through the little German I know. Very painful.

I hope increasing the vocabulary with example sentences will broaden that and give me somewhat of a confidence boost. You've got to start somewhere..

Really cool stuff there, how did you read the bytes back? Normally you get a CORS error if you try to use a network request to read back yourself.
(Founder) There are definitely some interesting possibilities. Pretty hyped about S3 Table (Iceberg) buckets. S2 stream to buffer small writes so you can flush decent size Parquet into the table, and avoid compaction costs.
There's also an uptick in car crashes after both clock changes, which the article mentions.

I think that's probably worse than some additional waking darkness, whether it's in the morning or the evening. We're pretty good at artificial lighting these days.
FWIW, after living in an all-mail voting state (WA), I never want to go back to voting in person. It is amazing having a couple weeks to mark a ballot at my leisure, do as much research as I want, and then just drop it in a box (or mail it, I guess, but the drop boxes have definitely been more reliable for me).

But it's true I don't have a shrieking neighbor or brutal spouse to worry about.

For what it’s worth I think switching twice a year is stupid and anachronistic, and I like the general spirit of fixing stuff that’s broken.

I come from an FP background, and this book was interesting to me as the author very clearly has a very different (imperative, systems) background. In some cases we have very different opinions, in some cases I'm completely agreed (e.g. "define errors out of existence" is extremely common in FP, usually under the term "make illegal states unrepresentable"), and in other cases I feel they were half-way to FP but couldn't quite get all the way there (e.g. the editor example is a classic interpreter, but they didn't make the connection IIRC.) I only skimmed the book and would like to go back for a more detailed review. Curious if anyone else with an FP background had the same or different experience.
PWAs were the beginning of the end. The crossplatform time savings got Node off the ground and then young webdevs fresh out of 2010s bootcamps never learned why MVC separation exists. 99% of bundled web apps would be faster to develop, more maintainable, more secure, and be snappy on a 20 year old laptop if built in dotnet MVC or RoR.

> I have 1 terabyte of data in 1860, how do I make sure the storage medium is still intact in 2024?

Storage keeps growing and price of storage keeps doing down.

My DOS and even some C64 source code made it to this day on backups (DVDs, HDDs, SSDs, USB memory sticks, etc., both online and offline) and to ZFS pools. Medium that didn't exist in the 80s/early 90s.

Floppy disks -> 40 MB HDD -> 6.4 GB HDD -> 80 GB HDD -> 500 GB HDD -> 240 GB SSD -> 1 TB NVMe SSD.

You get the idea.

The way you get sure you still have your data is by not focusing on the medium but by focusing on the fact that data is data.

Medium comes and goes. Data can (and should) be copied to new medium.

Not unlike:

/home/pub/backups/oldBackups/DOSbackups/...
...Conner80MBHDDbackups/backups/oldBackups/Commodore64backups/...

Some people are going to complain about the naming but I have all my emails except for six months back since I started using the Internet. And I still have all nearly a lot of my data since I started using computers. 8-bit computers.

Do you?

I don't care about naming much. "search, don't sort".

We've got emulators for just about every and any system. My vintage arcade cab has both real PCBs and a Pi running an emulator with thousands of arcade games on it.

You can already, today, emulate, say, the Raspberry Pi model you want using QEMU. There are container file that'll gladly do that for you.

Unless civilization ends there's simply a not a world in which, say, PNG, JPG and x265 files aren't readable. This just won't happen.

FWIW I'm paranoid integrity of my data: I've got my own naming scheme where a cryptographic hash is added to many of my files.

For example:

DSC_91394-b3-ae4f2877d3.jpg

This means "This file's Blake3 checksum begins with ae4f2877d3".

I then have a script doing statistical sampling: I enter a percentage and that percentage of files where a cryptographic hash is part of the filename are checked, randomly (if I enter 100 then 100% of the files are tested).

If I enter for example '7', then 7% of the files are tested and then there's high probability all checksums are correct.

> On what physical medium?

That is the wrong question.
for the lazy, I think the web archive safari exports is standardised and gives you a good website backup.
It isn’t known in advance though. These people went to that job and got psychiatric diseases that, considering the thirdworldiness, they are unlikely to get rid of.

I’m not talking about obvious “scream and run away” reaction here. One may think that it doesn’t affect them or people on the internet, but then it suddenly does after they binge it all day for a year.

The fact that not less than 100% got PTSD should be telling something here.
> It’s the job they signed up for. I don’t understand the complaint. If they don’t want to do the part of the job that is obviously core to it, they should move on. The mass diagnosis just seems like a tactic to generate “evidence”. And the mention of pay compared to other countries makes this look like a bad faith lawsuit to get more compensation.

its also their right to sue their employer for damage if they believe it affected them in a extremely harmful way. signing up for a job doesnt make the employer above the law.

But some here can't fathom that workers also have rights.
I'm quite surprised by the corporate history section.

Specifically, NSO Group is worth a lot less than I thought it was, even at its peak. ($1B+ valuation)

Also, the amount of infighting is... Surprising perhaps? Less surprising is the number of spinoffs out of it, and the number of competing Israeli spyware groups.

I'm constantly surprised by how good he Israeli startup environment seems to be.

Why is this? How are there so many acquisitions out of there?

A tough one, this.

I think intrinsic does exist from an economical perspective in a somewhat roundabout way. In the most banal case, in the US, a dollar has actual (intrinsic?) value. I'll grant you it's merely a piece of paper, with some number of calories released if you burn it; but as a practical matter, it can be used to pay your taxes - a necessary thing if you live in the US. (There's a whole side conversation about how money is created, but let's put that aside for the moment)

Honest question, does the dollar have intrinsic value, or not? It's not much different from BC in the abstract, but laws, conventions and traditions grant it some intrinsic-ness, even if it's just to keep the IRS off my doorstep.

I kind of fall on the side of the OP. If BC isn't much better than the dollar in abstract terms, why bother treating it differently from a good weekend in Vegas?

Are you meaning that these modifications cause the generated MHTML files to become non-standards-compliant?

I think it will depend on which task we are talking about. For For CPU-bound tasks (i.e heavy computation, data processing), The No-GIL Flask with threading would likely perform better than AIOHTTP since it can truly parallelize computation across cores.Now for I/O-bound tasks (database queries, API calls or file operations) then AIOHTTP would still likely be more efficient due to its lower overhead and memory.

So for your original question

> Is threading potentially better for IO bound tasks than async?

async will be better in general, potentially due to Async co-routines using far less memory than threads and being better under high concurrency. But that's all will depend on the details of implementation of the server.

I've found many similar conclusions, but my recent thinking is in the process of changing so let me work through some of that.

Either you're a bitcoin zealot or not. If you're not a zealot and its just 'free money', there's nothing worth talking about.

If you're a true believer, you're right to make a new kind of 'fake' money because the old one has some bad rules sometimes.

The real believer has to think some part of: a central bank, JP Morgan, and VISA, are 'bad' for society, when we measure the value they contribute, compared to the value they extract.

From a tech perspective I think we can agree that's true for at minimum 1.5 out of 3 of them. ( 2.5% interchange charge, wtf. )

But if the line of thinking to use bitcoin requires a concept of "contribute/extract in a society", then bitcoin is a horrible and terrible thing to happen.

We've got a bunch of guys who've become incredibly wealthy, by doing almost nothing of impact. They could have worked as teachers, bridge engineers, build companies, or become VISA sales representative, and they would have contributed something to everyone they interact with.

bitcoin's ratio of "contribution" (wealth generation) vs wealth redistribution, are far worse than any other system it claims to be in a league with.

I'm not in favor of banning while i write this, but there is nothing worth celebrating its rise or to celebrate the people who rose with it, for the same reason you don't celebrate hereditary nobility.
If you were a tech billionaire you'd be a sociopath like the others and wouldn't give a single f about this. You'd be going on podcasts to tell the world that markets will fix everything if given the chance.
In the oop age of arch I felt like I had no mouth (and I had to scream).

If there were no ads, how would people know that products existed? Would they just see the products on store shelves? What about services? Would labels be ads? Would how stores merchandise things be advertisements? Could businesses negotiate for specific product placement? How would you find out about stores? Would store signs be ads? How about really big ones? How about at the edge of their property along a road highway? Could the sign say what the store sold? If you were to start a product guide to help people find what they need, how could you possibly afford to buy enough products to be useful and up-to-date enough while slow crawl word of mouth got the business off the ground? Would asking people to tell their friends be an ad? If not, could you pay someone to spread the word about your product? Would traveling sales reps be ads? What if they wore head to toe logo gear? Could you just pay people to do that without selling things? Ads suck but I don’t see how a capitalist society could survive without them.
I wish there were an easier way to think about word count vs pages. I know ebooks/ereaders can handle that sort of thing, and some of the book tracking options—e.g. StoryGraph—will pull those up for you, but if you're just reading a book it's not easy on its own. And if you're doing a page number goal, it's "important" because: not all pages are created equal.

You can double-count non-fiction or something like that, maybe also double-count things from 100 or 150 years ago or something too, but in the end, why? I love the Cortex idea of the Yearly Theme (<https://www.themesystem.com>) and they make the good point that "Read 100 books" or "Read 100 pages a day" are bad goals, whereas "Read more" is a good one.

I enjoyed this, and I identify with it a bit, but I'm trying to get away from that mentality a lot. My goal is to read as much as I am happy with, and then a bit more.
At what granularity? Using a theoretical horizon, or the actual local horizon even for valleys? Most days aren't the equinox, so how would this deal with seconds being fixed but the 12 daytime hours being a different amount of actual time from the 12 nighttime hours? Would a kWh be a different amount of energy depending on what the date is and whether it's daytime or nighttime?
I've wondered if the problem stated in the article might be ameliorated by also dividing timezones by latitude.
This is a somewhat, hmm, bilingual post. The enum in question here is what Zig calls a tagged union, while Rust calls it an enum, with what Zig calls an enum being the degenerate case where the tag is the only payload.

I thought this would be about std.enum.EnumArray[0], an array of some T which is indexed by an enum. I've gotten a lot of mileage out of those as well. But it's about std.MultiArrayList[1], as used with a tagged union. I've had occasion to use that with structs, but not with unions, and didn't actually know that you could, although finding out it makes sense.

Actually a variation on MultiArrayList which is optimized for homogenous collections of one specific union variant, since if that's the useful way to structure the data then the tag would be redundant to store one of per element.

Good read, mostly wanted to add a few links for those who want to know more. The comptime metaprogramming used in MultiArrayList is a great illustration of what Zig is capable of IMHO.

> I'm at a loss as to why you'd invest time and energy in studying kanji

The explanation for that is that I used to study Japanese at Uni, and my wife is Japanese. So in some sense, it already is easier. Starting something from scratch is always a lot more difficult.

Some good other suggestions. I also thought of playing something like Broken Sword (adventure game fully voiced with text in german).

But that's also not really what Trump is proposing, right? The NYT article Nate Silver linked to quotes:

>“Making Daylight Saving Time permanent is OK with me!” Mr. Trump posted on social media in March 2019.

I presume by "ending Daylight Saving Time" he meant making DST permanent and ending the process of changing, which seems to be what everyone agrees is the right thing to do.
We should do away with voting and select our representatives randomly, similar to jury duty. We'd need a society that places value on civil service and is better educated and willing to listen to experts to hash out legislation.

Elections are only good for finding the most popular candidate instead of the most qualified for office. Keep terms medium length (e.g. four years) and you'll have people focus on the greater good instead of personal benefit because at the end of their term they have to live in the society they helped build.

The direct legislation initiatives we just had here in WA were a total crapshow and I hope we never see their like again. They got tarred with the same brush because they came from the same sponsor (which is somewhat reasonable), even though they were not all equally popular or even sane. Then some were written in the negative and some were written in the positive, so it was very difficult to figure out what you were actually voting for. And one of the special interest groups figured out their favorite position was "all no", which is really easy to advertise, even if many voters in that block would have actually preferred yes on one of the initiatives.

And of course the Legislature had gone in and muddled with them even before they made the ballot (which, to be fair, is explicitly the Legislature's job in the WA initiative system, but it didn't help the confusion).

It was not a pretty election. I am convinced that direct democracy is not the answer, and that was with just four relatively inconsequential initiatives.

I live in Australia, I work for a company headquartered in the US. For 10-15 years I've reported to a US-based manager (not just at my current job, also at my old one); actually only in the last couple of years I've been reporting to someone in Europe instead. And all three of Australia, the US and Europe have DST – but starting/ending at different dates, plus Australia being in the Southern Hemisphere, it's in the opposite half of the year. So it complicates remembering the time zone differences, because they vary across the year, and mean we have to change meeting schedules (a meeting time someone can manageably make one month becomes too early/late a few months later because DST has changed the offsets.) So I think if everybody got rid of DST, it would make that aspect of my life easier, and lots of other people's too.
