There are many causes of the lack of concern, but I think at the heart the problem, at least in the US, is that science has become politicized such that attempts at reform are mischaracterized for political gain. There's also a bit of ignorance in the general public, but that's only part of it.

For example, if some on the right suggest some difficult but needed reforms, it tends to be spun as an attack on science. Or complaints that trivial projects are being overfunded get misinterpreted by the right and they try to make an example of the wrong studies for the wrong reasons.

The pandemic was a good example of this in my mind, in that I think there were some serious systematic problems in academics and healthcare that were laid brutally bare, and many people suffered or died as a result. But then the whole thing got misidentified and sucked into the political vortex and all you end up with are hearings about how to rehabilitate the CDC, as if that is the problem and not a symptom of even bigger problems.

I still think there are ways for things to change, but the most likely of them involve unnecessary suffering and chaos.

Putin is partially responsible, but it seems like we're in a perfect storm of price increases. The entire supply chain was disrupted by COVID, and we still haven't fixed all of it. That is almost certainly a bigger factor than the invasion of Ukraine.

I'd love to read about this view of the world as the power actuated by language. It is really a popular narrative nowadays everywhere you look (people censoring "bad" words etc).

Which thinker is that from? Foucault? Marcuse?
Sometimes:

1. It's their ego and identity wrapped up and it's a threat there.

2. They've been gaslighted so much that the disagreement is poses as a derailment (This is when the disagreement is disingenuous)

I'm sure there are other reasons as well.
> Frameworks like Rails come with a constant upgrade overhead cost. If you're a solo developer, or even a small (<5) team, that overhead is likely to dominate your development time.

Many years ago I used to write projects with Python/Django. The Django project releases 3-year LTS versions with 3-month overlap. LTS versions are supposed to ease the constant upgrade overhead, and hitting a 3 month window every 3 years doesn't seem too bad, especially when they also release documentation specifically guiding you from one LTS version to the next. Does Ruby/Rails not do this?

The parent points out that the methodology is flawed: while you're right that sitting down may still be work, the way of recording activities does not take this into account.
Exactly. Even more so when having anything other than the top 5% or 10% is functionally as bad as having a 45% rating.

Yeah, the notebook as the fundamental sharing unit can be troublesome. OneNote should technically have the ability to make individual sections shareable (a OneNote notebook is stored as a folder containing .one files (sections with their pages) and subfolders (section groups) on disc) since every section is its own file. You could in principle just permission that via OneDrive and I think they had plans to, but I haven't seen anything on that front.
Based on my experience from 2-3 years ago, I would say to avoid it. It would be a decent pick for a really small team without a lot of product management expectation, which would probably be served just as well by something like trello.
Example: We wanted to create tasks from Intercom conversations and the only way was a custom implementation. Using their api was not a pleasant experience.
Also there were annoying UI bugs that made the product feel unpolished. I ended up using tampermonkey to fix and improve the UI.
We ended up switching to jira and it’s 100% an upgrade, we were happy with the change. People shit on it when it goes down, same as github, but then it’s all fine and dandy the other 99% of the time.
I have no problem believing that other nations governments do a great job. I also do not live there nor am I a citizen of those countries.

American government is a uniquely incompetent form of government. Despite being one of the largest & most expensive governments it gets little to nothing done. Anything that is 'done' is often done far over the original projected budget.

"the open society of the Panama and Pandora papers [1][2]. Two consecutive presidents that can't help themselves from being anti-autocracy."

Western institutions stand firm. The fact that you have even heard of panama papers is a proof of this fact.

Democracy is not a joke, it is standing fast. Regardless of the attempts of the autocracies to claim otherwise, or sow dissent by nefarious "whataboutism".

Nobody is "good", everyone does mistakes. They key to understand in the west is the belief of the people in the institutions, and the self correcting dynamic a western style of government instills into a nation.

To get a high level understanding of the situation I recommend Darren Acemoglus "why nations fail" which tries (and in my mind succeeds) in explaining what distinguishes western style of government from more closed autocracies (and how and why it's better in many ways, even though not perfect).

There was a time in America a generation or two ago when you could give your all to a company. Here in Michigan there were a number of small towns where a single employer would dominate. If the town needed something, like a baseball park the owner would simply write a check. If a loyal employee had a health crisis that insurance didn't cover the company owner would write a check. When there were tough economic times the employees would rally to help the company knowing in better times it would have their back.

Then one of two things happened, the owner died with no capable heirs and the company was sold. Or after NAFTA the company wasn't competitive with low priced foreign labor and folded. If the company was sold a couple of MBA's came in to run the store and ruthlessly ran it exporting all the profits. Eventually the jobs would go overseas or to another part of America with lower wages like the South.

Either way the people eventually lost their jobs and entire towns would collapse. I have seen it here in Michigan happen over the past forty years again and again.

Agree with all of them except #2 ("crack down on resellers [...]"). There's really no good definition of what a reseller even is, and what exact line between handmade and mass produced Etsy should draw. Ultimately you have to compete on quality and appeal of your own product, not by restricting others.
Identity feels attacked.
That's a fair point, although fraud per se is only a small part of all the problems. There's other forms of corruption than fraud, and a lot of it falls into this zone of plausible deniability rather than outright fraud. Also, I think the problems tend to find most weight with higher concentration of power, so what matters isn't as much "how widespread is corruption?" but rather "how is corruption distributed among power structures in academics and what is rewarded?"

Second order effects of the rise of large language models
Hunter gatherers did have it better than the early agricultural societies. They worked much less during any given day, lived longer, and were healthier. Hunter gatherer societies can live as long as people in modern, developed societies.

You're ignoring the amount of stress and mental disorders skyrocketing in modern societies. With those, it makes a human life almost a tragedy, stretched out due to modern medicine and protocols keeping people alive.
My hot take is that this downtime isn't severe enough since my company hasn't noticed it at all, and I can't lobby for an alternative project manager.
It drives me insane for a couple of reasons:

1. I, as a human, like to inform people. I trained to be a librarian and quite enjoy teaching/educating roles. It's never fun to be reminded that some people just...don't like learning. I find it kind of appalling.

2. I have to live in a society with these people. These people are why we have all the stupid rules ("Who would be THAT stupid?"), and there are just so. many. little. annoyances. about daily life that would go away if we increased everybody's IQ by 10. Also that person has a vote equal to mine, it's entirely likely that they're more successful than I am in life, etc. They're symbolic of all the absurdities we have to put up with because some other hairless ape won't think for five seconds.

I recognize that it's not productive anger, and I don't hang onto it any more, but it's still there.
To your aside at the end, I've said here that I'm a bit skeptical about how new this problem is (I think it is more the case that it has become a trend to complain about it), but what I'm really pushing back on is the OP's casual statement of the premise that it is uniquely a problem of the political left, which I think is poorly supported.

To the rest: I agree that the definition used in the article was broader than just people getting fired. You asked me for examples of that specifically, which made me think you thought the definition being used was that more narrow one.
Mine has a folding screen.
Supabase dev here but not a developer of this particular project, so I don't have the exact details or numbers, but for sure be considerate using a tool like this, it can add loading challenges in a number of dimensions.

In particular when it comes to the database side you're going to want to limit individual realtime event writes. I suggest write to an append only log table and process the data in batches using a background worker.

If you intend to insert every event one by one and index them various ways and have foreign keys to and from, inserting is going to incur a high cost. This can be mitigated for the most part with temporal partitioning, but even then it might be fine for you use case or analytic case to do background updates over an append only log and keep your appends quite fast.

As for the network traffic and loading of the HTTP front end someone else on the team can maybe chime in on that.

EDIT: Note this is very broad advice for any realtime app and not specific to this product.

So that in the first place, I put for a generall inclination of all mankind, a perpetuall and restlesse desire of Power after power, that ceaseth onely in Death.

> We just have something to do while we do nothing. Back in time we did not.

Back when? TV and very low-value, low-effort reading (periodicals, comics, books) have existed for quite a while and filled many an otherwise idle hour. I think you'd have to go back to the 19th century to find a time when there weren't very cheap options available to fill idle hours without effort. They still had cheap low-value books and such (penny dreadfuls, for instance) but volume and availability was more limited, so do-nothing entertainment wasn't quite as plentiful.
>I make electronics and have most of my PCBs fully prebuilt by mass manufacturer.

I don't have a problem with "manufacturing partners" in this sense. It's when that loophole is used to justify or hide countless sellers simply white labelling items that is the problem. If I make a design and have a manufacture stamp out copies in the thousands, but then offer customization that I add JIT for each order (a hallmark of etsy) then that's fine. But if I take a $0.50 beaded necklace bought in bulk on Alibaba and resell then at $10 with not other value added, that does not fit the supposed mission of Etsy. Take that to Amazon, Ebay, & it's okay. But it's absolutely not within the handcrafted marketplace, even when "handcrafted" is loosely defined, that Etsy is supposed to be.
> I think many people, especially those newer to the working world, underestimate just how ruthless and sociopathic our late-stage Capitalist working conditions really are. (I’m speaking mostly about the US here; that’s what I know.) Most employees have essentially no workplace protections; in most states you can be fired for no reason and no notice.

Non-US-dweller here: isn't that system entrenched since always? - i.e. that way of treating workers has been present in the US ever since there's been an "US"? Somehow Europeans managed to make life easier on themselves like mandatory vacation, a lot of sick leave, etc., but the US just didn't sign up for that.
Other times, they would directly talk to a single employee, but get skewed or misleading information based entirely just on that one employee's POV.

Their post about Tumblr's architecture [1] focused a lot about JVM-based services, HBase, etc which in reality was only ever used for a tiny subset of the backend. The huge section on "Cell Design for Dashboard Inbox" was especially ridiculous: the systems described there were literally a mix of complete vaporware and failed/canceled projects that never even got close to production.

As an early Tumblr engineer, I was really upset to read this nonsense. I spent several months of my life working very long hours to successfully scale the existing (PHP/MySQL) dashboard activity feed architecture in 2011-2012. It continued to be used as-is for many years after this interview, with lower latency and much lower cost than the proposed hbase/scala cell replacement.

And of course, engineering candidates being interviewed would always ask about this hbase cell architecture thing that they read about in High Scalability...

I didn't follow all the links, so thanks for pointing out that one in particular. I think it's actually a better write up.
Only empires have slaves or prisoners. And prisoners weren't even a thing until very recently--past couple of centuries. Unless they were royalty, it made zero sense to expend resources imprisoning someone. Rather, you killed them (e.g. criminals), enslaved them (a broad category of practices), or let them go.

How would it serialize? That means potentially interrupting any other JavaScript or WASM code running on the main UI thread and executing other JS code there? That seems kind of against what JavaScript is (100% singlethreaded).

I assume if it’s even possible, it might execute the code only if the main thread is not executing any events - which happens only once per eventloop iteration.

I guess what is happening is that worker can call into JS, but can not access the DOM or anything else living on the main thread. They have to send messages to the other thread, just as JavaScript workers would need to do.

Hi I'm chris, the creator of sslping.

Actually, we're talking "small" amounts. I had 3 dedicated servers hosted in France, which is cheap compared to the USA for dedicated servers. I was paying 65€ per month, for 5 years.

How could testing SSL use that much? well, I wanted an HA mongodb setup, and I wanted to support millions of servers. SSLPing was super fast, around 5 seconds to check your SSL versions, cyphers, check some vulnerabilities, etc... when SSLLabs takes 2 minutes.

And yes, despite 1100 total signups in my database, I had only 3 patreons... The maximum I had was 5.

The web is a strange place. I'm looking into sslping very differently today. Yesterday I killed it, and received tens of emails from users to thank me, and today I'm on the first page of HN... because I killed my project.

Do I have to say that I didn't dare ask people to pay for sslping because I thought is wasn't worth it?
