OP clearly meant "fascist" as a shorthand for "extremely authoritarian and non-democratic", which is a common colloquial usage.

But yes, fascism typically includes an appeal to a (imagined) past glory, a close collaboration between corporations and the state, a designated enemy who is both weak enough to be an easy target and strong enough to pose an existential threat and an empowerment of the military and police force. This list doesn't cover most monarchies by any stretch of the imagination even though there are obvious overlaps.

EDIT: I also think it's simplistic to call fascism an ideology as even the historical examples share as many differences as similarities when analyzed as ideologies. I think it's more accurate to call it a strategy or mechanism, or maybe a meta-ideology. There is no "fascist economic model" for example. It's goal is to bring about a social hierarchy through the use of excessive force and typically waves of ever-expanding mass killings of undesirables. It needs an other to eliminate to maintain itself, making it inherently self-destructive.

I think the most accurate description I've seen of fascism is as an "immune system of capitalism" or "capitalism in crisis": it primarily kills the weak, those unable to work, those unwilling to work and those posing a direct or indirect threat to the social order required to maintain the owner-worker hierarchy (e.g. trade unions, socialists, even progressives) and when it eventually collapses, is overthrown or fades away, it reinstates a liberal market economy (i.e. capitalism) while having mostly maintained the power of those that were previously wealthy or were even able to expand their wealth through collaboration.
I think there is a problem here, but I don't think think that's the right problem. Not having these arbitrary technical limits is a good thing - for instance their service didn't degrade due to an unrelated problem. Regulating cost indirectly via some other metric is a very oblique way of solving the problem

The right solution would be throttling of spending - easy way to set proper limits, good notifications etc. It's possible to set up all these limits but nowhere near as easy as it should be. Also, how easy would it be for Google to send you an email saying "your spend looks a bit different than normal due to this traffic here"!
I don't think the type of reparations discussed in the article are an attempt to punish. I don't see any mention of one's ancestors' offenses (or lack thereof) being considered. It's about compensating those who are believed to have suffered.

Hey HN,

I built a small tool that helps you analyze your data and make graphs using ChatGPT.

Here's a demo: https://youtu.be/lN7aqalNvUE

All the data processing happens on the client, so you can use it with your 100MB Excel sheet without problems ;)

Let me know if you have any questions / feedback.
It's fine to have an opinion/preference about the topic. I'm ok with CEOs thinking remote is a mistake, the same way they should be ok with people (maybe even the best people you could hire in some cases) not even glancing at their job offers for not being remote friendly.
I think education should be treated like medicine: Do the conservative thing that has been proven to work. And if you've got some new brilliant idea on how to improve things run studies and trials before you unleash your "feelgood and humane approach" on defenseless children.

Education feels like a test laboratory where every (sorry) idiot can bullshit people into doing insane things solely based on emotions and a handful (of probably useless) studies.

> Write your auto-updater code very carefully.

And... code review?
It doesn't seem to be automatically installing the update, presumably as that would disrupt the user by restarting the app. I guess it's staging the update to run on exit or similar. So until the user actually quits the app (or clicks update etc.), it's going to be on the old version, and in this endless redownload loop.
Sure, but going out and publicly just going "it's a failed experiment" when you're as influential as he is is different than just not trying to solve it for everyone. It's actively contributing to ending the experiment for everyone and reducing the pressure to try to solve the problems.
The article did not mention that as far as I can tell.

>The app checks for the update every 5 minutes or when the user activates the app.

>Normally, when the app detected the update - it downloaded it and stopped the 5 minutes interval until the user installed it and restarted it.

To me this reads as them downloading the update unprompted (as they mention their issue with the previous updater was that it would prompt the users every 5 minutes, which would be solved by just not checking every 5 minutes).

Either way, whatever the bug and its effects are, my gripe is that their conclusion is to add a way for them to remotely force-updates. As opposed to just notifying once or any of the other hundred ways to handle auto-updates that don't involve you remotely forcing an update.

Edit: the founder has confirmed in the comments the app does download without user confirmation, so my original point still stands.
Is it? I must have read the history of serfdom and slavery wrong then.
My understanding was that risc-v intends to support vector processing, not simd to avoid instruction bloat and for portable binaries. There is already a letter reserved for packed simd in the isa naming convention though (P). Are there actually boards I can buy that support either? Will llvm generate either? I look forward to seeing how it works.
I understand that, though social mobility is far from a given and the cards are stacked against the people beginning in low income backgrounds.

But the point is that the Subway worker and the data engineer are actually equal in their humanity. The one shouldn't have to rely on social mobility for me to see them as equal to the other.
From the outside, it appears GitHub doesn't have any internal sharding going on.
Outages always affect _all_ repos.

Architecturally this seems rather sub optimal?

EG AWS doesn't roll out changes globally - they start with an internal shard within a region and progressively roll out to more shards and more regions.

Why do GitHub not do the same?
In my own life I try to hold some of the skeptical views of what technology is doing to my attention and time. I am striving to enact a discipline and focus of attention that sounds very much like the Askesis he describes. Sometimes it works, and then I'm back here.

However I am concerned about the conservatism and religious overtones of the anti-technology reactionaries. To me (and a large and growing demographic) modern major religions are at best irrelevant, or morally bankrupt and malignant. Its a shame to because we lost some deeper dimensions of human experience this way.

The core teaching of Buddhism is the middle path: neither absolute asceticism nor hedonism.

I also like how John Vervaeke puts it: "Neither utopia, nor nostalgia" (is the path to wisdom, presumably).
So, then, how are they going to stop those supposed ecocides? Meaning, how are they going to enforce those regulations on countries that are not following them?

I think I read computing history to live vicariously through the greats of our industry.

I don’t think that allegory works. That open source stack wasn’t built for the startup. Rather, the startup had a pick of hundreds of open source options and chose the one that worked best. Because there’s no collaboration or relationship between the startup and the OSS projects, of course there’s no need for them to communicate.

But I don’t think anybody would argue that a startup doesn’t need to communicate with it’s employees.

User expectations have changed in this regard. If you don't auto update users will never update. Updating your computer or apps isn't a thing anyone thinks about anymore.

Don't do it like the OP clearly, and it's really sad that desktops can't provide an experience like mobile where updates are platform managed but you still gotta do it.
Wow, that's quite the leap. Peacefully attending a public gathering in yellow shirts with printed slogans is nowhere near the violent insurrection perpetrated on Jan 6, 2021. You are approaching "Hitler was a vegan" territory.

I work for a GMP manufacturer of pharmaceuticals and they use the free version of Trello and put tons of proprietary client information in Trello. Each client is a different company and they are never supposed to see data from the other one. It’s an absolutely insane thing to do in my opinion. I’m beginning to see why we are losing clients.
I really appreciate the values of those like those dev who own up too their mistakes but also do their best to make it right with their end users.
I am so tired of people in this community making vague and unbacked up feelings of how things are... In any other industry this sort of magical thinking would be called out as completely unscientific. You have the money to do actual studies and even hoards of startups to be able to test it. Release the raw numbers and do the study, don't just make things up based on your theory and a quote or an essay.

I'm willing to bet there are some startups who can do remote really well and others that fail at it, I doubt it's 100% proven that no startup ever can succeed with a large proportion of remote employees.
We in-line our sql code in our c# code and avoid dynamic sql in stored procedures at all costs. We write our queries to handle all the parameters the user can choose and rarely have problems with parameter sniffing which we know how to easily resolve. I did need to create a pivot query with a dynamic number of columns, so I use C# to generate the query and then pass the final result to the server using Dapper.

What truly turned NeXT into crazy story is Jobs's obsession on the fully automated construction line. If the young Jobs's could have settled for the original color of the CAMs it may have been a recoverable issue. Jobs's insistence on a better color for the CAMs threw off the tolerances of the machinery when they were repainted.

Choose your battles wisely. Jobs only succeeded in hardware after hiring Tim Cook.

If it was based on research or data, they wouldn't hesitate to rub it on everyone's faces.

It's not. It's just feelings. The ruling class has abject fear of losing control over the peasantry. That the plebs have all of a sudden a benefit that was only available to the elites rubs them the wrong way.
I mean, for reference this is the guy who thought Worldcoin was a good idea, so I’m not sure that people need pay _that_ much attention to his opinions on random stuff.

(I personally dislike remote work and won’t do it again now it’s no longer mandatory, but it seems to work for some people. Many companies have had permanent remote workers for years without the sky falling.)
Something interesting here is whether your right to protest extends to being paid to protest. If it can be shown an NGO is paying you to engage in a disruptive protest, are you really exercising some kind of human right? IDK, that seems new. It doesn't strike me as being in the spirit of the protected right.
last I heard they've sharded some stuff, but some of the core tables/databases are still using a monolithic architecture.

And I guess you're only as strong as your weakest link, which can be not that bad, that is, if it isn't your core tables.

Though take this with a grain of salt, this is mostly hearsay =D

I hate to break it to you but most jobs lead to the kinds of experiences you describe. Those experiences can feel more or less soul-crushing depending on your expectations and how you react to them. I get the impression that you expect personal fulfillment, respect, influence from your work, and when you don't get that you feel frustrated.

So, yes, this is what work-life is like for everyone else. If you think programming for a living is bad imagine working at a restaurant or retailer with the same bullshit but a fraction of the pay.

I suggest you disconnect your ego from your job and enjoy the relatively cushy work and pay. Find fulfillment somewhere else. I burned out twice earlier in my career (40+ years and still going at this point), then I had children, something more important to me than any job or jerk boss or boring project.

You should also consider what all of your job frustrations have in common: you. No one can control what other people do, or how organizations roll along with dysfunction and lack of real purpose. But we can all control how we internalize and react.

Relying on code review is a dangerous game because fine looking code can be riddled with bugs.

Ok, but your original criticism stated that solving this in cron is bad because the program may be run outside of cron:

* It's not just cron that can cause concurrent execution, and if that matters you generally want to robustly prevent it - not just if cron is the executor.*

So you did not like that exclusion only worked when triggered from cron. But in your case it also only works when triggered from your script. So cron just made your script an integrated feature and you’re essentially criticizing your own solution.
In all of your examples you're either starting from `any` or doing a type assertion somewhere along the line. That's explicitly opting-out of type checking, the same way that asserting an `Object.keys` return value is `(keyof T)[]` would be.

> I feel like it just makes more sense to trust that the object type is what we've said it is

The object type is what we've said it is. The type is correct, it just doesn't necessarily specify every last detail of your value, because subtyping is a thing. For example:

class Pet { name: string }
class Dog extends Pet { isAGoodBoy: boolean }

const f = (pet: Pet): keyof Pet => Object.keys(pet)

// this call should be allowed, but that means `f`'s return type is wrong
f(new Dog())

> Younger workers, he noted, “learn by osmosis” in a way that requires in-person interaction

Having spent a considerable number of hours in the last year explicitly doing work with / training junior staff... That's just silly.

Start open streams of your work. Give short presentations. Invite junior people when you do something interesting. It's really not a lot of effort and in-person is definitely not required.
But religion was also the stated reason given for the legitimacy of the US revolution. "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights..."

The US becoming far more atheist doesn't undermine the legitimacy of the US democracy, even if the original stated basis isn't regarded as valid any longer. The same can be true of the monarchy.

Mind you, I'm not actually a supporter of the monarchy. Where I'm from, we don't bow to monarchs. I'm just saying that this argument against the monarchy does not seem valid to me.

Thank you. Oddly, I don't think the thing I get from his writing is the thing I'm _supposed_ to get. That is, the kind of tonal urgency he conveys, the sense that it is really important to get at the thing he is trying to drive at (sideways, as you put it), comes across more as an entertaining exhilaration for me, rather than something seriously important. I suspect DFW would disdain this take away from his writings and consider his books a failure for me.
The tragedy with phonics in particular is that we have the kind of evidence in favour that comes close to medical standards of "proven to work" - at least a lot better than the alternative - and some states or schools are still going "meh".
I think that for surveillance and defense applications, have some more sophisticated algorithms running on board can be very advantageous by reducing the bandwidth needs in the downlink.

In the event of an European generalized war with russia, having smaller, nimble data payloads being sent in the downlink is definitely a tactical advantage, as we can certainly expect that one of the first targets of the Russians would be giant, fixed tracking stations.

A surveillance satellite that could interpret images and just send something like "300 tank movement detected in the last hours starting from coordinates X,Y, direction Z, average speed W" in a slow link, able to be received by mobile stations would be great for European defense.
This is great! Some friends of mine and I still run a MOO from our college days, and having it exposed to the Internet feels like a dicey proposition these days, even as much as I’ve tried to harden it. I may move it to a Tailscale/Zerotier network at some point just to remove the public exposure.

Thanks for the effort! I’m still a budding Rustacean but will look and see if I can help at all.

I think there's a mismatch between C-suite people, especially in startups, who believe that their company is a mission-driven force for effecting change in the world, something that workers can attach themselves to for meaning and purpose, and individual contributors who think the company is OK and maybe a little silly and are happy to help it along for remuneration, but aren't about to make it a load-bearing part of a spiritually fulfilling life. Most companies aren't that meaningful.
Spot on, wfh is the practical answer that managers are useless for the most part, and most workers can actually work together and be productive without the circus that a lot of companies do as a “team building” activity.

Happy to see this here. I think there's tons of potential for making Cantonese easier to learn. The big difficulties I've had as an English speaker learning is:

1. Multiple Romanisation formats (Jyutping vs Yale)
2. Many community lead dictionaries with varying completeness.
3. Many web resources for learning words/phrases/etc use a mixture of traditional characters, jyutping, yale, or something else.

Its very difficult to find the content in the format a learner needs. Hopefully something like this will help learners use content written using traditional characters.
