> I don't think cutting of Russia from the internet is a good solution at all. It will isolate them enough to allow the government to push an anti-western agenda.

Exactly. IIRC, Russia is actually taking steps to build a great firewall to do that deliberately. They're just not there yet.

But once they have the technology to connect to the internet on Putin's terms, cutting them off will make more sense. Maybe not enough sense to actually do, but the option should be re-evaluated.
Anecdotal. My best friend, about 5 - 6 years ago was doing manual labor, hauling plastics around town basically. He had a break and found a tech support job. Progressed to level 1 then 2, then he started working (pre-COVID) as a sys admin. During COVID, he changed his job once to also sys admin, and just recently, he managed to land a DevOps job. He's now working with new people, new technologies, new infrastructures, new everything, and is praised for his onboarding speed; which I can attest to.

Why did I write this entire story? I think it's about people more than institutional knowledge. I know my friend is smart and driven, and no matter what you'll throw at him, he'll somehow find a way to adapt and improve. There's also an argument against stale institutional knowledge. Ultimately, I think being agile as a company is a greater advantage than institutional knowledge, so I'm biased.
Cool product! are you guys using wasm under the hood?
> After burning out on tech I really should have switched to another career... or even tried management

Just a tip from someone who made that jump: If those five things you listed contributed to your burnout, trust me, moving into management won't help.

1. Management is the same damn slog day after day. You deal with people acting like children, senior management who lack any coherent vision and don't know what they're doing, colleagues who were Peter Principle'd into their roles, and on and on. It's unrelenting.

2. Being a manager is just doing work to make rich people richer, but with extra steps.

3. Imagine being a manager! You keep hearing you're understaffed, that there's enormous time pressure, that you lack resources, that your staff are frustrated, unmotivated, burned out. If you're a good manager you care and desperately want to help. But you can't do a god damned thing about it because the executives don't give a damn.

4. You're literally in the middle of this. As a middle manager you have the choice to parrot the upper management crap, or tell it like it is. Neither is great. And that's ignoring the politics, and the pointless policies, the endless process...

5. That's invariant.

The real issue is that a lot of companies are simply toxic places to work. The job doesn't change that. Whether you're an individual contributor on the ground or a manager trying to improve the lives of your staff, if the company sucks, it sucks for everyone.

The truth is: not all companies suck that badly. Or, at least, they all suck in different ways. As you yourself have realized, the trick is finding that place that fits for you.
Except in XP the developer will refactor before and after implementing the feature, the customer doesn’t get to say how things get done, and there is no “manager” role.

Not to say that people don’t operate completely differently and call it XP. That’s always a problem. But it isn’t “No True Scotsman”, it’s literally just not following the recipe and expecting the cake at the end.
Congratulations on the launch guys. Product need seems clear to me & is a painpoint that I've felt most acutely in side projects that I've worked on outside of our company's devoted CI infrastructure.

Are you planning any git or IDE integration? Most of the magic here seems to happens in the backend with easier training, scheduling, and inference. Could this be enabled locally so devs iterate in an environment that's more comfortable to them?
Probably a fuel leak somewhere.

And we should stick to that.

I wouldn't say so. The innovation of new things that actually solve problems in a meaningful way is not going to be bandied about on twitter for all to see and consume. Meaningful solutions to hard problems are usually kinda yucky to approach and understand at first.

You are going to have to actively seek out these efforts. I assure you, there is more innovation occurring in technology today than ever before. The only problem is that there is also more noise than ever before too. I use HN to help cut through a lot of that noise.
"That allows mute people to speak" is not part of the original title nor is it accurate. The device in question is a sensor patch whose notable characteristic is it's thin enough to be comfortably attached to the throat for extended periods. The patch reads motions in the throat and sends those signals to an armband computer.

The researchers stated that, in the future, mute people could be trained to generate signals with their throats which the device would translate into speech.
Posting more and longer non sequiturs just doubles down on the whole "combo whataboutism and gish gallop" thing.
Congrats on the launch! Over the past 6 months or so I’ve been intermittently working on building pretty much exactly the same thing, but with a lot of procrastinating on fiddling with the internals rather than just putting something out there. Your API-first approach is a clever way to get around the desire to keep fiddling around with the page design!
Heh, my ancestors also come from Ukraine. Some Russians seem to have problems with everybody no matter where they are located.

> gradual reducing of Russian language usage

I'm guessing you're from Almaty? The situation may be somewhat different there due to completely different demographics, although my Russian friends from the south never had any complaints.

I am a bit closer to the Russian border, which worries me immensely now.

> what heavy propaganda

The Russian news was filled with this bullshit for a couple a weeks. Back then I thought they were gathering political points before the coming election, but now I'm not really sure.

The link says that there is a good argument that protections against domestic exposure to American propaganda were weakened, but also that propaganda directly targeted at domestic audiences is still illegal.
Agreed, it's part of a much larger discussion, with limits on web real estate, getting to the point quickly and being succinct becomes more and more important.

There surely are ground breaking innovations every day, but especially lately, the unremarkable ones push them out of the way in favor of quick headlines that spur impulse-driven investment.

We all probably can recall how popular an effort to "catapult" very rich and famous people into the outer atmosphere was and still is, while we have already travelled to the moon, decades prior at that.... Whether any of the things getting the most public recognition and funding these days really be considered as "game changing innovation" is the real question raised.
The global fascist movement has had success hijacking the Republican party and some parts of the left (eg Gabbard). Largely the success on the right was greater because of affinity toward aggrievement in the electoral base that was more susceptible exploitation, but it also reflects the more mature financial channels (eg NRA).

But this is not a left/right political issue. That is incidental. The social exploit of this foreign operational is orthogonal to political ideology and both side stand to suffer substantially. Trump's lack of conservative ideology bona fides are well documented.

I've seen a lot of projects that use a full response cache to capture a view with holes where user-specific information would go and then fill in those holes with some client side JS. I wouldn't call those SPAs, though.

But I'd say it's more common to just use "private" cache headers in this case for any page that differs for logged in vs unauthenticated users. The user's browser will still serve as a full page cache, but shared caches will ignore those pages.

George & the OneSignal team are great. We integrate with OneSignal (both their mobile push and email services). We integrate with more channels than using OneSignal directly (say you wanted to integrate with Slack or WhatsApp) and offer things like dynamic routing between channels & providers that OneSignal doesn't.

You are expressing a forbidden truth quite well. The marketing power behind this agenda does an incredible job of scrubbing away any of the ill effects of globalization paired with an obvious effort to discredit and obfuscate any coherent arguments against it.
While the problem of burnout is very real (I’m affected myself), please note that this is partially an ad for Yerbo, and there is no indication that the study was conducted independently.
Sounds like marketing and selling are not only outside your skillset, but outside your interest. You could have easily learned how to do it in the past 20 years if you had the aptitude. You'll never make it solo if you can't find a passion for selling your product.

Yes, you should give up and get a full-time job. I'm a developer and I've founded 3 startups over the past 10 years. None made it to unicorn status, but they all passed the $2M in annual revenue mark.

Get a full-time job and make real money as an engineer. While you are doing that you can work on meeting the right co-founder and finding the right thing to build. The right product and market will pull you away from your job, you won't have to try and force it like you have been.

Or for a more concrete example, look at how both Republicans and Democrats are treating Julian Assange. Investigative journalism and whistleblowing are under attack by all political factions and by the justice system, today. We cannot treat anti-free-press authoritarianism in the West as an "early stage" or tomorrow's problem.
Hadn't come across parameter sharing in transformers. That's something I'll definitely look into. Why is it not wide spread though ? Most famous and powerful models have a huge number of parameters
I absolutely agree with all of this. Management burnout is absolutely real and significant, and I'm honestly a little surprised someone would claim otherwise. The only way I can imagine coming to that conclusion is to have either 1) never been a manager, or 2) only worked at companies with ineffective/inactive management.
I don't think they're saying that Republicans are currently doing what Putin is currently doing. They said some people want to jail journalists, and you seem to be agreeing by saying those people "talk shit" about jailing journalists. Maybe one could say that talk is harmless, but I think most would challenge that.
Fact check:

- Trump wanted to sell US gas to EU in 2018.

- Trump wanted to pull out of NATO -> weaker NATO weaker response to Putin's invasion in 2019.

- Germany cut nuclear because Schroeder, friend of Putin's. See links above.

What weakness did Trump "exploit" and "how"? Also, citations needed.

> If dumb Western leaders were at least as smart as Trump, we wouldn’t be in this situation.

Yes, if western leaders were as smart as Trump, Ukraine would have been lost already, and covid would have ravaged Europe like it did with US.
Hi - Luke (CTO) here. Thanks! Yeah, we're using WASM for things some things in the editor like syntax highlighting. Planning on moving most of the network logic into WASM shortly as well.
If we had reacted the way the world is reacting now when the USA invaded Iraq under false pretense, perhaps other countries would've taken notice that there's actual consequences for world bullies and this wouldn't be happening now.
10s of the thousands in the same month would indeed move you into our paid plan. If this was more like <10k per month for many months, you'd still be able to do that on our free plan.
If it is for you and me? If yes, then it is more likely to matter to the wealthy and powerful whose power base depends to some extent on us.

Assuming we haven’t all been convinced via propaganda that this is all a conspiracy to weaken us and we need to band together under $glorious_leader anyway.

Better to not have kids you can't afford than have kids you can't afford and be stuck in a poor, drawn out outcome just for the sake of having kids. If you can afford them, by all means, have them. But if not, think hard about the suffering you'll suffer for a long time. You should absolutely put off having babies (or not have them) if your life situation doesn't accommodate taking on that burden and cost.
That’s dangerously close to attacking a Nato country…
> what you understand under the term democracy

You're the only one using the term "democracy".

Even under an authoritarian dictatorship without any pretense of democracy, the consent (or at least acquiescence) of the populace is necessary for the dictator to rule. Civilians far outnumber the rulers, after all, or even the military. Even if the entire Russian military sided with Putin—and against their own friends and relatives—there is no way he could stay in power in the face of a mass civilian uprising.
Correct. If someone is going to disconnect Russia from Internet it is going to be Russian themselves, to limit the free flow of information that might be conflicting with the official truth.

But like with the Chinese firewall, information find its way. Unless Russia wants to set itself back to 70s, they still need to access Github, Cloudflare, Amazon Cloudfront, etc. For the Russian IT business to work.

Software development and Internet were built on scientific principles, criticism, criticial thinking. This requires free flow of information. You cannot have one without the other, or you are going to end up with very inferior and inefficient software ecosystem.
> and your purported equivalence to that is that "plenty" were arrested.

Important to point out that the best validation is customers who actually pay real money for the idea in advance.

Without natural resources Russia GDP would be lower than Polish. I think the whole reason for this war is the green transformation of the world. Military dictatorship played the wrong game and didn't mange to reform the country (it seems to be a case for all countries run by military).

This is Proxy war with US/Nato to get a trade deal in exchange for balancing China with military power (last card they've got). France and Germany were OK with this - cheap resources, you can move pouting factories to Siberia, production would be more competitive than Chinese.

US and rest were not happy about this.

There is more money to be made in the small than the big. Tesla/space-x is an exception, but this is why much of the innovation seems to be in ai, software, medicine, apps, etc. Smaller tech is cheaper, easier to scale.
> That could be perceived as a posture of war by adversaries. And it's a really bad idea.

IMHO, Putin's Russia has gotten really good at exploiting "fears about perceptions" to get away with a lot of shit, because it's "sensible" adversaries pull their punches.

> Have you considered for the innocent Russian people who doesn't agree with the war? What about their daily lives in Russia where they need to get driver's license online to be renewed but couldn't because their DMV website is inaccessible?

I doubt a Russian DMV site is running on a foreign sever. Didn't Russia itself do some kind of test disconnection from the internet a year or two ago?
I have witnessed quite a few enterprise software projects. My take on it is that quite often - the decisions that should've been made on tech level are being made by company politicians instead and the general tendency to hire at mediocre level.
Customer.io is more focused on marketing automation (which your campaign use case sounds like) whereas we're focused on transactional notifications.

How incredibly reductive, evident by the “basically” and “just” minimizations of innovative apps. When twitch was launched in 2011 was it “basically” a streaming platform? Was WhatsApp, with its launch date in 2009 “just” another chat app? Are the content sharing, file sharing, whiteboarding, breakout rooms, panels, background effects, automated transcription of Teams and zoom not a significant improvement over the days of Skype?

Adding to the authors point; I think there's quite a bit of innovation through maintenance. Reducing the tech debt in existing infrastructure eg. education, transport, etc

I have a gut feeling that societal cohesiveness is somehow lost through 'profit-driven' maintenance.
They certainly engage in public relations efforts to burnish their public image and I agree that Xi is not crazy and would not make that task any more difficult than necessary.

I don't read Russian, so I can't comment on that article.

I don't find the anti-semitism charge very credible, he speaks out against anti-semitism very strongly in both the Gulag Archipelago, and several essays. He also claimed that an anti-semitic essay attributed to him was a hatched job by the KGB, which seems at least possible. I also stand by my claim that he was a brilliant writer. I think if you try to take everything in his descriptions of the Gulag system as literal fact, you'll find historical discrepancies, but his work isn't meant to be wholly historic, but rather more expansive.

The Cold War ended 30+ years ago.

They licensed the RD-180 for domestic production, Aerojet/RD/LM whatever took billions in R&D to do it and then punted because they were too lazy or incompetent (probably both) to actually do it.

I instinctly want to agree. I remember quite a few examples of that.

On the other hand. This post can be weaponized as a argument towards: 'I did enough documentation. If you disagree you are unreasonable.'

Or from people that don't do documentation but spam. With that I mean people who do not think about what to put into the documentation, but throw in everything, mostly unsorted. Like: 'It is in there. On page 756, section C, subsection 1.3.3.4. Easy to find. Just look.'

In the end I think it all comes down to the question how reasonable people work together and with respect for each other.
Why is this infuriating? I don’t know the scenario you’re describing but presumably swabbing infants is about protecting them. Infants are at higher risk than older kids and it could certainly make sense to keep tabs on whether they might be catching COVID in the hospital after birth. That’s scary stuff for a baby with no immune system to speak of. Wiping a swab in an infant’s mouth isn’t going to irreparably harm it.

If you’re that worried about the swabs, how do you feel about the fact that they squirt their eyes full of medicine immediately after birth to prevent blindness? That’s got to be more disturbing to the baby.
