Literally every person affected by this change unless their work or school schedule also adjusts (in which case the change was pointless anyway).

Every single person affected by this change?

The massive shift is moving to DST year round instead of standard time. Our work and school schedules are not adjusted for standard time in the winter, when it actually makes a difference.

It's not, because they aren't standing around waiting for a bus on the way home, they can just head inside.

Easy to say from a low-crime, high-safety country like Norway.

We'd have to change work timing too, then, to facilitate dropoffs and parents who want to watch their kids at the bus stops. And at that point, we are back where we started. Better to just not mess with the time, and stick with standar

In reality it means that people have to get up earlier and go to bed earlier relative to sunset/sunrise.

And we are going to have to go to bed one hour earlier, and get up one hour earlier, relative to sunset/sunrise. It makes no sense.

Because it make zero sense for everyone to have to get up an hour earlier. And it makes no sense for kids to stand around in the dark at freezing cold bus stops every morning.

I really don't like that they picked permanent DST. Does no one realize that this means that we all have to get up one hour earlier year round? That kids will have to travel to school in the dark for the majority of the year, including

The Walgreens by my office, in the city, got these. The motion detection seems to work fine. But it’s pretty jarring look at the beautiful, fully-stocked image on the screen but then open the door to find a picked-over, mostly-empty mess.

I’m glad this person got caught. It’s really too bad how asymmetrical it is - it is much easier for the cheaters to cheat than it is for the others to catch them.

When they offer the adapter as a free alternative to the stand?

by D13Fd 5y ago
I am serious. Apple has been selling ridiculous VESA adapters for a decade now, and most other manufacturers just build them into the monitors. Literally the only reason I can think of for this is that they don't want unattractive scre

PowerPoint is not the problem, it's poor presentation of information. Yes, you can de-emphasize information in a powerpoint presentation, just like you could with a chalkboard, overhead slides, or any other way of presenting informatio

I have zero problem with this. They designed a nice stand, it's expensive, so what? If you don't want to pay for it, just buy a VESA arm instead. They also offer a VESA adapter instead of the stand, for the same price. That's

That's untrue. Ergotron LX arms for example hold big monitors perfectly and last basically forever - currently priced <$200: https://www.amazon.com/Ergotron-Monitor-Monitors-Up-Polished...

I don't think so, and Wikipedia is back for me. But that was my first thought too when I suddenly couldn't get to either Wikipedia or Discord. Both are places where Russians might be getting their own outside information.

So they are witches because they were buried with pointy hats? If we find someone buried in a cape should we assume they could fly?

by D13Fd 5y ago
> Turns out pointy witches hat have been around since 2-4th century BCE. Mummified remains of witches in China have been found with pointy hats. I feel like the line between fantasy and reality has blurred for a lot of people lately.

That makes sense, although obviously the downside to a manual check-in/merge process is that it greatly slows down the editing flow. Personally for the kinds of documents I work on, I'd rather risk losing my undo history than have

Were you using it on Linux or something? Or maybe with very large documents? I use it every day and really haven’t had slowness issues, even when running via Parallels on the Mac side. Of course, typically my docs are <100 pages and ligh

Honestly I think modern Sharepoint/OneDrive based .docx files have already leapfrogged git for the average user. In an office environment, modern MS Word gives you a really nice version history, with automatic or manual/named vers

I use Ulysses too, but I it could be faster. I haven’t tried them in the latest versions, but in the past I’ve had issues with even medium-sized files with lots of formatting.

Personally I think old-school independent news media is still the best source of information, although it's best to look at both right- and left-leaning sources to get a good sense of what's real. And it's best not to read th

You might as well just make it closed source or "source available." Almost all uses are "commercial" in some sense, and including that clause adds too much risk for most reasonable uses (including many uses that you woul

I like FaceID better personally. It's instant, to the point I forget that my phone is locked. All of the TouchID phones I've tried have a delay. Plus moving your finger to the sensor is just one more thing to think about. My only

I think this is really "it's not hard to get into the 95th percentile of things that you are already fairly good at." Yes, if you have a history of playing video games, it's not hard to pick up another game and do well--
