DST makes no sense to begin with, but it makes even less sense as you get closer to the Equator. On the other hand, permanent DST is a disaster for high-latitude places, where you’ll have kids walking to school in the dark. Russia trialed permanent DST for a short time, and then switched to permanent standard time.<p>With so many caveats related to DST, why even bother with it at all?
Good on them! I wish Denmark would do the same.<p>Though, as a software developer, I'm slightly worried how many weird/interesting side-effects it will have, how many places are there strange hardcoded edgecases due to this..
