Another note from the author: it is interesting to me that so many of the commentators seem to think that I believe management to be evil. There are relatively obvious reasons for why readers might come to this conclusion: the start of the piece compares it to other "oppressive systems" (capitalism, racism.) Most people tend to think of oppression as evil or bad because they inhabit a slave morality - that is, a form of ethics designed to undermine the power of rulers and boost the power of the oppressed. It is very difficult not to inhabit some kind of slave morality: it's in our language.

Like all social systems, Managerialism has victims. But unlike many other social systems, we don't have a word for these victims, or the experience of being victimized. For many, only a faint memory of life outside of Managerworld remains.
Two things come into play here.

A) not all movies break even, most lose money, so the "hits" are needed to keep the lights on. It's not unlike VC investing.

Ironically small movies tend to lose money because they're small, telling small stories, with small ambitions. Ultimately these don't attract much of a cinema audience, and even those who enjoy them won't necessarily encourage others because (B). Streaming is a new, and perfect market for these with a very wide global audience - but making it for streaming takes out all the upside, even further constraining the budget.

There is no "community" (aka audience) already in place for some random new action movie. It costs a fortune to make, and returns are highly variable.

Contrast this with star-*, marvel, James bond, Tolkien etc. There's a pre-established market for these. If your gonna spend North of 100 million (or a billion for LOTR) there better be some expectation there.

Which brings us to (B).
B) - why go watch it in a cinema? Growing up my TV was tiny, sound was rubbish, quality was bad. And cinema was cheap. It really was "better on the big screen". Now my TV is huge, sound is amazing, I can pause to go yo the loo. And a month on streaming costs less than a single movie ticket.

Sure there are still movies made for the big screen - Top Gun Maverick is grand in scope and beautifully filmed, and imax worthy. And Tom worked hard for 3 years convincing people to go see it (spoiler: worth the wait.) it's a sequel, barely, not a franchise - but we very much know the movie we are going to see.

The point being that that is the first time I've been to a cinema in 3 years. Before that I've seen maybe one a year, much less an average. I figure 99% of the movies I watch now are at home.

To those complaining about all movies being Marvel, well clearly they aren't. But if you want variety in movies then the cinema is not the place to look. The variety is now on streaming where small movies with modest budgets can better reach a wider shallower audience.
Hacker news is a bubble of crypto haters, everything positive gets downvoted here.

There are hundreds of apps in DeFi, was 250B invested, over 10MM paid per day just in transaction fees, and 20k developers. The amount of users is growing as fast as the internet was during the 90s (we're equivalent to 1998 now) and almost every usage graph is up and to the right exponentially. Can see many of the metrics at https://defillama.com and https://link.medium.com/readqva7brb

Ethereum by the metrics looks like the greatest startup investment of all time. It was also the quickest to reach $500B market cap. But alas many are going to miss out because they miss the forest for the trees.

A16Z is definitely making the right moves based on the metrics. HN folk are blinded by emotions, and not bothering to do the research. The person you're responding to doesn't even know DeFi.

If you want to understand what DeFi is check my post history. I often talk about it yet every crypto thread is always the same dumb "only criminals use it" comments voted to the top.

> Making hard decisions that I would never be faced with in reality informs me about myself,

This irks me wrong, because it does not distinguishes between reality and fantasy. None of the in-game decisions is hard the way real life decisions are hard. Just like, murder on TV is not the same thing as real life one. Real life combat situations frequently changes people, makes them bitter and forever angry or give them PTSD. People regret their real life decisions till the end of their lives - that is why those decisions are said to be "hard". Video games dont do the same thing.

You are not facing equivalent of real-life decisions. None of the decisions you made in game had any real consequences to the outside world and you know it.

For dict/set hash lookup, O(1):

For binary search on a sorted python list, it takes a standard library import (bisect), and the containment test is:

(i:=bisect.bisect_left(a, x)) < len(a) and a[i] == x
How is this not your war. You are very clearly in range, and as evidence shows so far any civilian is fair game for Putin's army.
Totally agree! It's hard to fathom why so many languages leave you to be some kind of detective trying to determine exactly where the issue is rather than just telling you.
If you have a river and block it with a dam water keeps piling up. Assuming there is now more water because there is more coming from the mountain would be ignoring the dam.

The amount of currency depends both on the stuff people buy from you (money flowing down from the mountain) and on the stuff you buy from people (money flowing through the dam).
True. I never find a watch comfortable to watch. Everything is called a ”watch” and not a”glance”.

Rotation is more comfortable the other direction. The under arm makes a lot more sense for a “smart”watch, or at least a device that requires input

I wouldn't say that building on your skillset as (in this example) a skilled craftsman is deferring happiness. You still enjoy what you create today, even if its not as good as what you will create one year from now. I do woodworking and metalworking as hobbies - I've always enjoyed the process and the improvement I see in my work. Its about the journey not so much the end result.
Given the recent news about them running out of people to hire... I wouldn't be so sure.

The cynical view is it might be better for them to keep up the supply of low skilled labor...

If you read Seneca that's not what he's saying. He says that you should live your life in such a way that if before sleeping someone told you that it had been your last day, you would feel content with what you did today.

He says that you have to remind yourself that you can die at any time. So before doing something ask yourself whether you'd be proud of you if what you were about to do would be the last thing you'd do.

He also says that you should strive for that life, to use this advice as a compass. Not to literally start each day and do what you'd do if you were going to die tonight.

Also a good life according to Seneca is not a life full of instant gratifications like drugs, party, food. It's a simple, ascetic life.

So many times in my life has it been an excellent jumping point for research.
Installing rail is super expensive and limits you to where the rails is and the capacity of the track. Great if you have it but installing more of it involves many billions of dollars.

I could see a use-case for e.g. Amazon using this at scale to move goods around. They currently do this at great expense by flying planes around.

I wonder what the deal is with the economics. People were doing this routinely a century ago and it worked then. What's holding this back now? I've been reading about zeppelins making a comeback for decades now. And somehow it never happens.
Notably, this feature would be very useful in SQL or similar data processing languages.

I wish these query languages had the ability to select "all key columns", "all writeable columns", "non-system-generated columns", etc...

In most database or query platforms this is either impossible, or requires breaking out into another system/approach entirely. For example, it's possible to generate a SQL query to do above by querying the column metadata from INFORMATION_SCHEMA views, but this is obviously not what most people want to be doing when writing a query.

Worse, even if the database platform has features like this, when it gets processed through an ORM in typical languages like Java or C#, any such features are once again lost...

Lenses and optics could apply well to SQL-like query languages, because those are largely functional as well, and thanks to "JSON columns" often have nested structures where the composability of these abstractions would be more elegant than some hideous "tree query syntax" as typically seen in XPath and the like.
Marx has said: "Creative labor has become the primary need of life". I don't know if it's the original words, I translated it from Chinese. You think spending 7 years to build your own house is better than to play video games. But what if to create a video game? Creating a video game is too hard? How about to just write game reviews and walkthroughs in detail and combine them into a book.
It's not that you think building a house is more meaningful than playing video games. It's that you want to create, but your job didn't give you a chance to create or what you create doesn't belong to you.
MSM (men who have sex with me) mostly right now. Seems like it's just a new STD, but perhaps someone has reading/research showing it's spreading at any significant scale further than that.

Hopefully we handle it better than we did HIV

Also it's pride right now sooo... Just like Chinese New Year couldn't have picked a more opportune time.
Yet ekmetts package is called "lens" and not "optic".

While I agree with you in principle, I think that ship has sailed and for all practical purposes, "lenses" has come to mean both the narrower definition that is arguably correct, and optics more generally. It's a historical accident, much like a lot of people use "function" to mean all sorts of subprogram, including procedures and sometimes even methods!

Having safeguards, let alone against criminals, is a very different conversation to having a code of ethics.

Perhaps the fact that we as a society are so ready to associate codes of ethics with policing should be raising some red flags in how we think about this issue.

> The OP was not discussing learning at all

Yes they were. They were discussing teaching, which is related to learning.

Moreover, the person they were responding to - they also were talking about learning. They talked about how it was good to learn an abstraction that wasn't perfect.

Even the article is about whether we should teach one abstraction or another.

> You are completely out of touch

Gaslighting is abusive. Stop abusing me.

> I am familiar with virtually all the topics you are discussing, so you can skip the citations. I find no coherence to any of your segues.

This is an argument from authority. It is a fallacious argument. If my segue is incorrect, you need to show it from the structure of the argument, not by appealing to your authority, which is irrelevant; you might be great - I'm not saying your not.

You are great; I'm not saying you're not. I'm sure you're intelligent and smart and witty and cool. But who we are - it doesn't matter. We're irrelevant. The ideas are all that matters.

If I'm wrong - why isn't chess solved? Why do we approximate solutions? Meanwhile, why is checkers solved? Why do games with simpler graphs get solved perfectly but more complex games with more complex graphs not get solved perfectly? Please back up the ideas you would be advancing were it the case you actually disagreed with what I claim is provable. If you actually understood my point, than you should know that the opposite of my point isn't that perfect abstractions exist - it is that the run time of specific learning algorithms aren't correlated with their input size. Your trying to get me to defend conclusions I didn't make, treating me like I'm stupid and comparing me to people who are rambling. You are being abusive. Lying. Gaslighting. Attacking me as a person rather than my ideas. Appealing to authority.

I'm sorry that I thought you were referring to linear algebra when used as abstraction in the way I meant it - I'm talking about computational abstractions; stuff with many dimensions, compressed to be in fewer dimensions. That happens when we do linear algebra on computers in practice. I thought it was reasonable to point this out, because my claim is closer to "abstractions with errors in them can be useful" than it is to "abstractions without error don't exist". But I feel like you do understand me in this - because you seem desperate not to admit this. To pretend we can represent all things in finite space, when we can't, because the infinite things can't all be represented in finite space. And it seems to me the only reason you would be so desperate not to admit this - to try and throw up so much confusion about this idea - is that you do understand me. And you understand that if you surrender on that point, you admit I'm right. So I think you already know I'm right. And you're just being mean intentionally. I think I probably offended you. It best explains the inconsistency in your reasoning. So I'm sorry about that - and I assume it was sometime in the past, because my first replies didn't deserve your malice.
It does, since v7
Your comment is really what I'm getting at. Your comment only makes sense before a goal is achieved. Imagine we achieve the current goal. Here is "sentient_chatbot.c", go compile it. What does it to grant that source file personhood and respect it as a lifeform?

It's not some abstract machine or sentient system. It's just another program you can compile at home to perform a neat function, akin to how you can go build Stockfish at home and suddenly have a superhuman chess playing program. Sentience will be a nonstarter once achieved. It only looks different when we imagine things without considering what it will look like once success is achieved.
> It is a modern myth spread by main stream media that racism and sexism are prevalent.

Note that that finds the index to the left of the insertion point for the value given, but doesn’t perform a containment test; you have to also check that the index is in the list (instead of off the end) and that the value at the resulting index equals the value of interest to test containment. Which can be a one-liner without redundant calls (with walrus), but is a bit ugly.

(Of course, for a custom class you can just wrap it in a __contains__ method and then just use the “in” operator.)

It is writing from superiority complex and ego. I think that Paul Graham is populist in a lot of his writing - he writes to certain audience and makes sure they will feel good about themselves being better after reading. That is where "all extremely competent "hackers" with great taste" comes from.

Also, this is not serious analysis, he twists motivations and reasons for certain Java decisions. He does not look at advantages and disadvantages to evaluate the language. Instead, he looks at how he can twist anything at had as inferiority. Note also how insulting the article is towards both original authors and "them, not real hackers using Java".

You assume the stalker stalking is the same as someone sharing their data online. And while they are related, they are not the same, which means the stalker can be targeted by seperate means (as discussed in this thread).

My guess is that it doesn't mutate as quickly as a corona virus - so our body can build a defense against it rather easily without high chances of re-infection, just like most other poxes. It basically is quite slow moving, and will burn through its fuel in the major population centers quickly if it does peak - unlike corona which can just keep peaking after it mutates using the same people.
Amazing advice. I'm going to do all of this.

> Isn't testing a smoke alarm mostly a matter of pushing the TEST button? ... Who is your target audience, and what are their needs?

Testing is as simple as you describe; the software helps record details for each test and in the event of any dispute is a source of truth - a kind of 'keep your ducks in a row' kind of software. The audience are property tenants, property managers, and landlords.

Great article. But I'm wondering, how many of you have used Lenses in larger, or legacy projects?
It is this sentence that gives me some doubts:

> The formulation is wonky, and very difficult to grasp. Don't worry if the intuition hasn't kicked in. It turns out that you can use lenses quite a bit without fully grokking them.

Whenever I read something like this about a framework, I imagine that sooner or later some colleague will fall in love with the power of the framework too much and write code that is very hard to understand/maintain.
But I have to admit that I haven't worked much with Lenses myself yet so maybe things are not so bad?

So I am intrigued by the idea of the Axial Age transition - roughly 500BC and worlds big population centres (India China Persia) hit some kind of population tipping point, developed massive abusive slavery and wars and then developed much more restrictive religions as a means to control the larger populations.

The argument is tenuous but it reminds me a lot of the Shakespeare / Lope de Vega transition- sometimes population is dense enough to chnage something.
