Using it from first release, all the best for you and thanks


Thank you!


DST must die. That's it. It's 21 century already. Why?


Because we live on an approximately spherical world whose rotation is not tidal locked to the star it orbits, that world rotates around an axis that is not perpendicular to its orbital plane around said star, we have a biology that uses sunrise to synchronize its internal clocks to the planet's rotation, we have spread to occupy regions of the world that are not near its equator, and we align our timekeeping to midnight or noon.


Because I enjoy having light in my morning in Winter, but allowing the extra hours of daylight to accumulate in the evening in summer.

The slight disconcertingness of the hour changes is worth it.


A lot of people (myself included) like it. Is that a rational reason? No, but it is a portent of how difficult it may be to get rid of it.


That might be a valid reason, but it's almost certainly not an explanation of why things are the way they are now or why they might change in the future. I don't recall there ever being a vote on the subject.


California voted in 2018 to abolish DST (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018_California_Proposition_7) — and it won 60%/40% (technically to allow the legislature to do it).


An important technicality, since it's now 2021 and we are still observing DST.


That's a perfectly rational reason! I like it, too.

Yeah, it makes it harder for programmers to accommodate. I'll play my violin for them next July when it's nice and bright outside at 7:30pm. :)


I'd prefer we stay on daylight time all year around, eliminate standard time. (Northeast US here.)


Because I don't like it getting light at 4am and dark at 5pm.


Most interesting thing here that's if Microsoft cares about developers more than Apple why i should care about Apple


Microsoft only cares about developers to the extent that they can get them interested in Azure. Anything more than that is a happy coincidence.


Lol. Guy just measure that llvm compiler for arm64 target faster than compiler for x86_64 target. Fair comparison yeah.


Is it not though?

Compiling shit and running tests is what you do when you're working on a software project in Rust. If suddenly your workflow is twice as fast, it's noticeable and this is the only thing that tweet claimed imo.


Windows + VSCode + WSL2 + Terminal + PowerToys = Just one love, never looked back.


The only problem I have with that is "Windows"

I'm currently trying to figure out how to emulate windows from a *nix distribution using qemu. I plan to use this as a "home lab" (k8s cluster or just plain fucking around), but still retain the ability to play an occasional AAA game.


You don't need to emulate windows if you have windows as parent host ;). Windows with WSL is the best linux desktop which i had for past 20 years


Lol, cloudformartion historically did't support really huge and mandatory parts of aws resources and resource parameters and as there was no Roadmap of support until previous year https://github.com/aws-cloudformation/aws-cloudformation-cov... it was not fan because basically you couldn't even try for example to enable RDS storage autoscaller for RDS via CF template. That's why terraform was created because of AWS CF didn't support own AWS resources.


hahahah. terraform has bugs that were opened 8 years ago and were swept under the rug countless times.

the fundamental problem is that terraform is not even a half baked tool (what version was it again? 0.12?) and people are betting the farm on it. guess i’ll go build more software while others are twirling their hands with the super HCL language (what’s even more aggravating is that Hashicorp got this part - the language - right with Vagrant but I guess reinventing the wheel and using go was sexier).


Just because it isn’t 1.0 doesn’t mean it’s not production ready.


Interesting that in EU such project just illegal from start


It's not.


Oh, Canadian skill immigration, did you check from which countries most of immigrants came in Canada last 5 years?


Because it's Germany. Cash only, slow internet, roads without speed limit - Germany.


No, 14mbps in Berlin is an outlier. The average bandwidth in Germany is higher than that. In my city in large areas i can get 400mbps via cable and 250mbps via VDSL.

Pretty soon cable providers in Germany will upgrade their entire network to DOCSIS 3.1 enabling gbit bandwidth.


Prague based company. Aha, yeap.


?


Just look at open positions count in different jetbrains offices. Main r&d place is St Petersburg Russia. Second one is Munich.


Wasn't clear what you were aiming at with your comment. (And typically, I'd read "X-based" as "has HQ in X", nothing more. Normal in this industry for companies to be widely spread)
