DST is a digital STD

NeatNit , in Daylight saving creator left the chat....

DST had good reasoning at the time. It doesn’t anymore.

Blue_Morpho ,

The US tried no dst back in 1970. After 2 years people wanted it back.

criitz ,

They did permanent DST instead of no DST (permanent standard time), so they had dark mornings in winter.

SpaceNoodle ,

Is it still 1970 today?

Blue_Morpho ,

What is so different today that people wouldn’t change their mind again about DST?

SpaceNoodle ,

It’s 54 years later. Are you expecting a full list or something?

Blue_Morpho ,

So because you read the news on your phone instead of the newspaper somehow everything is different with the sunrise?

SpaceNoodle ,

You’re right. The only thing that has changed is that newspapers are smaller.

Blue_Morpho ,

If the list is so long, then it should be easy to list one thing that is different today that would make people not want DST.

I don’t need a list. Just one example.

SpaceNoodle ,

Apart from nearly 2/3 of Americans polled wanting permanent DST, the massive technological advancement, interconnectedness of the entire world, and an ever-growing proportion of renewable energy?

Blue_Morpho ,

2/3 of Americans polled wanting permanent DST,

Yes Americans want permanent DST like in 1970.

massive technological advancement,

Why specifcally would cause a need for a change in sunrise/sunset?

There was massive technological change from 1920 to 1970 when it was given up for 2 years before it was changed back.

ever-growing proportion of renewable energy?

The current shift to solar would mean an even greater need to synchronize energy use with sunlight.

SpaceNoodle ,

You’re ignoring the fact that technological advancement is exponential, not linear; world interconnectedness; energy storage; and other renewable energy sources such as geothermal, hydro, and wind.

Blue_Morpho , (edited )

technological advancement is exponential

But what specifically about the technology means you want the sunrise time to be different?

s geothermal, hydro, and wind.

None of those are a currently a significant percentage of energy usage. Nor do they have relation to sunrise/sunset that would require a change.

SpaceNoodle ,

Wind alone accounts for over 10% of the nation’s power, and is constantly growing …

Blue_Morpho ,

80% isn’t renewable right now. And you didn’t answer why that should matter to sunrise/sunset?

Also why do you downvote all posts? Are my replies off topic?

SpaceNoodle ,

Bad faith arguments are off-topic, yes.

Blue_Morpho ,

What is in bad faith? I hold the premise that nothing has specifically changed that would make people actually like the sunrise/sunset time change given it was tried before.

You claimed “technology” without giving specific reasons. You claimed renewable energy despite it only being 20% of today’s energy generation.

You are the one who is making bad faith arguments. Then you are getting mad because you have nothing to support your opinion.

This isn’t reddit.

@SaltyIceteaMaker@iusearchlinux.fyi avatar

I decide to learn C++ and suddenly everything and everyone mentions C++… Is that a sign?

Scoopta ,
@Scoopta@programming.dev avatar

That you should turn and run like hell? Probably lol…

SaltyIceteaMaker ,
@SaltyIceteaMaker@iusearchlinux.fyi avatar

Well i don’t really have a choice as i want to code some stuff for my smartwatch (pine time) and also wanted to take a look at the code of the hyprland window manager (wich is written in C++ afaik)

Scoopta ,
@Scoopta@programming.dev avatar

Ah…well fair enough. I personally prefer plain C but I know nothing about the pine time or what languages are available and even then Hypr and Hyprland are C++ so you are trapped there…sway ftw lol. Also my pedantic side dictates I must say this even though it’s irrelevant…but technically Hyprland is a Wayland compositor and while they do manage windows a window manager is an X term…

marcos , in True Story

There are not even templates there to justify it.

FierySpectre , in AI generated music is getting good

Damn… That is good…

I guess we now have to learn all the different markers for AI generated music too (like hands and background continuity for image generation)

Meatstick OP ,

It’s getting hard to tell if the vocals are AI or simply autotuned

If you push tickets - software developer at best.

If you iteratively solve problems by learning, building models, and trying hard to break said models until a sufficiently robust one remains - welcome to engineering.

Deestan , in As someone not in tech, I have no idea how to refer to my tech friends' jobs

At some jobs, I can get away with “Señor Developer” or “Computer Toucher”. Those are the nice ones.

Otherwise it tends to be “Senior Software Engineer” that carries the least constricting baggage.

I SWEAR big company middle managers hear “developer” and they can only ever see you as an infant who without guidance would just keep coding some absolute random shit and not think about product, market, customers, integration, or prioritize their own work.

i can tell a programmer didn’t write those questions because “code ninja” isn’t one of the options
