Thanks for the article

Yes, it's DST related. Now explain why DST offset is different for pictures and videos ;)
Well they need to be different in _some_ way, right :)? Why not use timestamp offset for this
While this comment is a joke, it's tragicomically true as well.
Way too often have I encountered, or hacked in myself, such "business rules".
"Except for these seven transactions from before [random date/time] all transactions made between 01:00 and 01:15, with a round amount, are recurring payments to X. Can we not just use that instead of this data-migration that you've budgetted?" (not literal request, but close enough).
The danger -off course- lies in that this over time becomes actual business logic and that meaning is assigned to (meta)data that was never intended to carry such meaning.
The solution -I've found- starts with what DDD calls "ubiquitous language", where everyone (within a domain!) assigns the same meaning to the same things¹. And model the software around that, never the other way.
¹ So maybe there's a 150 year old rule that states that recurring transactions are those that happen between ...etc. etc. That this is actually a settled and used meaning within the domain experts/users/stakeholders. In that case - IMO - it's far better to lean into it rather than assign some is_recurring_for_x boolean or such that has no meaning in the domain.

#203I wonder if we will soon have Data Archeologists, who will try to find these hidden long forgotten gems on the Internet.

I’m pretty sure they’re referring to Twitter.
Twitter still exists. Renamed. Same exact thing. You can create an account and post whatever random things you want. Some people might follow you. Some might not. If you see something that makes you sad, you can block the person who posted the sad thing.
> Same exact thing.
It very much is not. No third-party clients; can’t see threads without an account; owner inserting himself and his ideology at the centre; fewer and less diverse participating people; diminished trust in the platform; more spam; different verification rules… Even the character limit is different.

It's really cool that such standard exists, the worst thing about Pixel phones is stupid filenames of pictures and videos, not only it's not following this standard, but contains WRONG timestamp. For example, picture with name `PLX_20241101_115855.jpg` was taken at 12:58:55, not 11 as the name suggests, but also picture with name `PLX_20240913_191525.jpg` was taken at 19:15:25. A video on the other hand would have a…
British? Sounds like it's recording UTC time in the file name, which is only correct during winter.
2024-11-01 is in winter, 2024-09-13 is in summer. So the effect seems to be the opposite of what you say.

#206This reminds me of something I've been thinking a lot about. which i think is big techs greatest failure: interoperability I first thought of this when seeing someone take a picture of their computer screen. There is just so much friction in moving data. I should be able to take anything off any screen and move the source material to any other screen on any device or cloud with a simple 1-click process. Including the…
It's not a failure, it's big techs greatest feature. Try to imagine the likes of Windows, Office, Apple, AWS, Social Media etc. without lock-in, network effect or all the other names for missing interoperability.

I usually joke that the hardest problem in computer science that is not yet solved is sending a file between two devices.

I was on tiktok in 2019/2020 and for a brief period it was just ordinary users messing around and posting whatever they felt like. No tiktok shop, very few ads or thinkpieces, nobody was trying to build an audience. A lot weirder and a lot more fun
Commercialization and infiltration of advertising-dollars-seeking "influencers" ruins social media sites. I miss the early days of the internet (and especially YouTube) so fucking much. I'm 28 now, and I've been online since 2009. I think 2009-2014 was the GOLDEN AGE of the internet for me, especially on YouTube.
IMO we need to move past the follower/following model on social media.
Having followers is the best way to get followers, which creates a fame snowball.
The result is that a few uploads get a bunch of attention, and most uploads get very little attention. The typical user feels lonely, isolated, neglected. Jealously means the attention-rich users, the ones with lots of followers, become targets for bullies -- and that leaves them miserable too. No one is happy.
Platforms with a more equal distribution of attention, such as IRC, didn't have these problems.
Virality was a mistake.

they should bring it back
I’m struggling to imagine Elon Musk doing that.
Isn't that exactly what he did when live-streaming on X last year?

#210Hey, OP here! This is my first ever HN post- I appreciate the warm reception. A couple hours after posting this on my site, I found this incredible vid of a woman telling her partner she’s pregnant. Incredibly heartfelt, and only 16 views https://youtu.be/refKFdcojlE?si=l-PssLVYmmOPjjjA It was posted over 10 years ago. I wonder if the family even knows that this video still exists.
Why does he walk off at the end? Did he still not believe her do you think?
I was going to explain the way i saw it, but i erased it and decided it's probably best not to give my thoughts in case he or someone in his life came across the comments out of respect.
