As if interstate/international business doesn't already involve keeping track of which timezone the other party's in?

I'd note that eliminating Daylight Saving Time doesn't require Congressional involvement. Any state can do it by simply declaring they will no longer use DST. Then they're on standard time all year, no changing clocks anymore. It's only eliminating Standard Time and going to DST all year that requires Congressional action.

As for daylight hours, for most of the year we get plenty of sunlight hours in the evening even on standard time. Between eliminating the headaches of the clock change twice a year and the demonstrated improvements from better alignment with normal sleep cycles, that seems to outweigh the short-term complaints about going to all-year standard time. People always complain about any change regardless, we'd hear the same complaints about switching to all-year DST, so I don't see any merit in considering the complaints qua complaints when deciding. The basis of the complaints, yes, but those boil down to "I don't like it." and only apply to a few weeks once a year (at the other switch the complainers get more of their preference) and that's not a very solid basis for ignoring the benefits.

Porn stars. At least back when I quit WP, one of the things that sent me over the top was that every minor porn star (especially female) apparently deserved their own page, while scientists didn't even if they had numerous published articles and citation and done important work - but their field was nothing famous.

In theory.

If you follow actual notability discussions, they are largely about "this isn't important".

The deletionists are one of the reasons I stopped contributing to Wikipedia. It's not like you need to fit into a 20-volume print edition, idiots. You can give every damn porn star who's been in one clip you liked their own page, why not everyone else? For all I care, every human on the planet could have their own page, and every house with a story, and every dog and cat.

Just imagine if the amount of time and energy spent on the deletion discussions alone would go into improving WP instead.

Or, you know, you could use the time to do something about the people hogging their favorite page and considering it their property and reverting everyone else's edits just because it wasn't made by them. Or one of the other dozen issues the site has. But no, whether or not Xav deserves a page, that's what needs discussion. Fuck off.

Closer to the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy tradition. All they need are the words "Don't Panic" on the front cover.

If it doesn't, it has no real value.

Almost nothing on Wikipedia is true, but all of it is "verifiable" in that there's at least one published source making the claim. Even if 99.9% of all other sources say the opposite.

(The Haka is not, for example, a war chant. Which is attested to, but because it's claimed to be online, it is "verifiable".)

The number of errors is huge, the number of "official editors" who know anything about the subject is extremely small, and this has always been the case. This is why nobody reputable cites Wikipedia. Wikipedia is where you go to find out what is potentially interesting, but you ALWAYS obtain the facts from elsewhere, if you've any sense.

Is that not what the GP said? Look at the context of, "If and only if you can touch type." IE: with fingers on home row, HJKL cursor navigation causes the keys to placed where QWERTY would have them on JXCO, which is pretty awful to use in practice. IMO, and as a long time vim user, I'd want to remap all the vim commands such that most, if not all, remained in the same position they were in while using a QWERTY layout.

FYI, it turns out that is very easy to do in vim! The following will allow one to type in insert mode under DVORAK while keeping all normal mode commands under QWERTY:

" Restores QWERTY positions exclusively in Normal/Visual modes
set langmap='q,q',wj,ek,rx,ty,yu,ui,io,op,as,sd,df,fg,gh,hj,jk,kl,l_,,x.,.p,p_,,fg,gc,cr,rl,la,ao,oe,eu,ui,id,dt,tn,ns,sh,h_,,;z,qx,jc,kv,xb,bn,mm,m_

TIMTOWTDI, there's also a Dvorak plugin for vim. Just run:

:packadd dvorak

... then toggle DVORAK mappings with ",d", turn them off with ",q".

YMMV on the how well they do it, but both the Apple Vision Pro and Meta Quest 2&3 support prescription optical inserts, and XReal also supports prescription lenses (https://us.shop.xreal.com/products/xreal-one-pro-prescription-lens), and that includes this new XReal Aura (https://us.shop.xreal.com/products/xreal-aura ... it's listed on there under "Personalized Prescription Lenses").

Without science, a hypothesis never gets rigorously confirmed and mainstream enough to ever be considered a theory.
