Since its hackernews I think its fair to comment that I hate it because it makes the already difficult time programming even more difficult. Now I don't just have to save timezone somewhere but also the offset (to be full proof) of the time. How about the UI? Does anyone know of a timepicker UI pattern (I haven't seen any) that allows you to input the duplicate hour during DST > ST switch?
I don't have to suffer through this change but it seems like something that will affect people's rhythm a lot and make them mess up things twice a year. What would be the health and other cost of that would be?
Hmm just thought about it and looked it up. It seems that people use ~10% their energy budget in lighting. So I don't see even in terms of energy usage that being worth it? Specially since using better lights would have a much more savings.
