Ask HN: Why No MySQL Weekly?
I've noticed that there are weekly newsletters like "PG Weekly," "Database Weekly," "Ruby Weekly," and "JavaScript Weekly," but there doesn't seem to be a "MySQL Weekly." This has piqued my curiosity, and I'd like to ask the community: Why do you think there isn't a dedicated "MySQL Weekly" newsletter? Is it due to a lack of interest or are there other reasons?

MySQL is a widely used relational database, and it has a vibrant user base, so I'm surprised not to see a dedicated newsletter for it.

Your opinions and ideas are greatly appreciated, and I look forward to a lively discussion on this matter. Thank you for sharing your thoughts!
"Minimal trust" is still distinctly non-zero, which is my point. GP was trying to tell us we should get to zero, which is obviously not feasible.
I think it will be a cyclical thing. The PE firms actually do run those businesses much more efficiently, but they also become homogenized and that's offputting, which opens the door for new entrants to differentiate themselves.
It is a bit frustrating how married the Raspberry Pi foundation is to a company that couldn't care less if they live or die. Broadcom has always been at best indifferent and at worst hostile to the open source community.

Somehow the "safety" of bonds were not adjusted as yields reached and sometimes went below zero. A multi-year zero interest bond is not a very safe investment. I did have that default setting on a retirement account and got out of those LifePath type ETFs over a decade ago.
The solution people came up with a long time ago were banks and is very much considered a best practice to keep your money there.
> If 61% of the US population is living paycheck-to-paycheck, it isn't because they need to.

Consumers can share blame for not living below their means, needless wealth signaling, and financial illiteracy.

But predatory entities are part of the problem, too - car dealers obscuring true costs of borrowing ("how much do you want to pay per month?"), credit card issuers jacking up rates to 37%, and real estate "investors" jacking up rents after buying mom & pop mobile homes and senior rental units knowing that tenants have nowhere else to go. Here's one example from Montana:

“I can’t tell you how many calls I got from folks that were older, like older than 55 or 60, that had lived in their same house for decades, had the same owner for decades who never raised the rent,” Huey said. “Then all of a sudden they lost their housing.”

Huey and other providers across the state have heard countless stories of homeowners turning their rental property into Air-BnBs or evicting their long-term tenants in order to house their own children in increasingly affluent communities.

On one hand, this comment saved me from watching this 50 minute video where I'd also learn that you can multiply vectors. So very efficient usage of time. On the other hand, I'll probably watch the video anyway because I expect it to be more interesting and informative, and go into a lot more depth. So I'm not really sure this comment helped me at all.
Those dependencies might cross language boundaries, or interfere with your other dependencies running in the same process.
Doctors frequently monetize suffering quite directly. Farmers monetize hunger. Carpenters monetize exposure to the elements. Priests monetize existential suffering.

YouTube informs the wider world about it while monetizing suffering. Would they do it as effectively as a non-profit?

Often I find that union members actually want their employer to succeed and they tend to recognize that they can't just beat the pinata and expect infinite candy to pour out.
I don’t know. Do unions themselves preclude the possibility of people being a member of more than one union?

> If you fuck up bigly enough, you will 100%—without fault—get sacked

which is to be expected - making a big mistake might not be something that can be forgiven and overlooked (depending on the magnitude of the mistake).

But you will not lose capital as an employee, since you did not put in capital to lose. Your time would still have been paid, up to the day you are fired.

Therefore, you obviously have no incentive to take on a risk that can result in a mistake (but which the reward you take no part in). You just do your assigned job, and whether it saves the company money or not, as long as you can cover your ass, you're golden.

Unless the company incentivize you to save money - for example, via a bonus through hitting a target or achieving some goal that was set.
The apparent use of "social justice warrior" as a pejorative suggests that maybe engaging with you won't be productive for either of us.
If that was the case, it would feel reasonable to countersue for sabotage.
Thanks for sharing. It's valuable to hear from so close to the situation.

I'm interested in seeing how the open bargaining turns out - my understanding had been that closed bargaining evolved to solve problems with open bargaining, but perhaps the situation has changed now, and unions need to prioritize member engagement more these days than in the past.
Reminds me of one of my favourite quotes by Huxley:

"If you’re to do anything reasonable in this world, you must have a class of people who are secure, safe from public opinion, safe from poverty, leisured, not compelled to waste their time in the imbecile routines that go by the name of Honest Work. You must have a class of which the members can think and, within the obvious limits, do what they please. You must have a class in which people who have eccentricities can indulge them and in which eccentricity in general will be tolerated and understood. That’s the important thing about an aristocracy. Not only is it eccentric itself—often grandiosely so; it also tolerates and even encourages eccentricity in others"

Your 'senior' engineer is likely right: they are trying to get some kind of process going and you are actively sabotaging that. This could come back to haunt you later on when you by your lonesome decide to merge a 'small PR' with massive downtime as a result of not having your code reviewed. Ok, you say, I'm perfect. And I believe you. But now you have another problem: the other junior devs on your team who see vrosas commit and merge stuff by themselves will see you as their shining example. And as a result they by their lonesomes decide to merge 'small PR's with massive downtime as a result.

If you got _reamed_ you got off lucky: in plenty of places you'd be out on the street.

It may well be that you had it right but from context as given I hope this shows you some alternative perspective that might give you pause the next time you decide to throw out the rulebook, even in emergencies - especially in emergencies - these rules are there to keep you, your team and the company safe. In regulated industries you can multiply all of that by a factor of five or so.
We can do the same with LLMs. We can tease out some macro structure behaviors by looking at intermediate output from the feed forward network.

But you see how this is far from true understanding. It's like removing the WiFi module from a PC and you lose WiFi, therefore you know the WiFi module does WiFi stuff but in the end this action contributes nothing towards cohesive understanding of the PC.

None of those practices create "overlords".
> * Reliable + Around forever + reduce the need to learn anything else -> Javascript, CSS, HTML, linux, vim, emacs,

Javascript doesn't belong anywhere near the same paragraph as "reliable", IMO. It changes so much every couple years. Even if you don't use frameworks, new Ecmascript versions introduce big changes.

It might be backward compatible with older JS code to some degree, but companies don't code that way. The ecosystem as a whole is very much about chasing the bleeding edge at the cost of reliability and stability.
Competent people in corporation could show how uncompetent the rest of corporation is, so they are found and eliminated before they can do too much damage to management.
Yikes. Centrist yells at “socioeconomically weak” cloud.

I’ll just say this: horseshoe theory is wrong because when there are similarities they’re inconsistent and shallow. If that wasn’t true, political scientists would be able to write papers about the consistent and deep similarities, but they can’t so they don’t.
I'd love to pay for YouTube but they insist on bundling it with YouTube Music and I already pay for Spotify.

Now maybe they are giving me YouTube Music for free and the price would be the same without it - but it doesn't feel that way and it's enough to make me not subscribe. This kind of shenanigans is enough to drive me and probably many others away.

It's £12.99/month. Would I pay that if the bundling had never been offerered? It feels quite high - I've hit my limit of streaming services I'm prepared to pay for at the moment. I'd probably pay half that for ad-free YouTube.

Surprisingly (to me at least) I'm actually finding enough good content on TikTok to make up for the fact that I can't block ads on YouTube any more. Thus the great cycle of enshittification continues.

It's still how many new businesses raise capital. That's how the biotech industry works for example. (In biotech VC just gets you to the IPO stage and you don't cash out at IPO since typically those companies don't even have an approved product yet).

In some States, if it's a union shop you have to be in the union. In others, you don't.

New York is highly unionized. I used to know a woman who set up trade shows there and would laugh that they required two different unions to move a desk with a computer on it that she herself could have moved if it were allowed.

Unions are just groups of organized workers. How much did you invest in making the union democratic and effective for yourself and your peers? The onus is not entirely on you but you do bear some responsibility.

That said, I get where you are coming from. It's terrible when a peer gets elected to union office and decides to prioritize their relationship with management over their relationship with the people who elected them. And it's true, some unions in the U.S. have really degenerated after decades of hostility from employers and their political representatives in all branches of government (most notably, the judiciary and National Labor Relations Board).

But constructive solution is to get involved in the union, rather than waiting for someone else to bargain a contract that will benefit you. Attend a training, become a steward, volunteer to bargain, consider running for union office. The alternative is to live under the petty tyranny of employers, hopping from job to job in the hope that market conditions for your labor don't deteriorate.

If you're organizing a non-union employer, which I have done, you and your peers need to investigate how capable and committed to union democracy the officers are.

> This is very important for understanding why csci is presently useless and misinformative as far as the brain is concerned. There are an infinite number of 0/1 attributions to make, and infinite number of algorithms being implemented etc. almost all of those are irrelevant.

What makes brain a computer, and the air molecules in your room not a computer, is entropy. The behavior of air molecules is effectively random, the behavior of a brain very much not so.

Also, the universe isn't an uniform temperature soup where everything is equally random. There's energy cost to complexity, and there's a likelihood penalty to complexity. This gives us good confidence that the brain isn't doing something absurdly incomprehensible: it was made by evolution, which is a dumb, brute-force, short-term process. It didn't go out of its way to make things complex - it went with the first random thing that improved survival, which, being random, means generally the simplest thing that could work well enough.

Whatever trickery made brains tick, it must be something that's a) dumb enough for evolution to stumble on it, b) generic enough to scale up by steps small enough for evolution to find, all the way to human level, while c) conferring a survival advantage at every step of the way. Sure, the brain design isn't optimal or made in ways we'd consider elegant, but it's also not actively trying to be confusing. There's literally a survival penalty to being confusing (by means of metabolic cost)!

All to say, we're not dealing with a high-entropy blob of pure randomness. We're dealing with a messy and unusual system, but one that was strongly optimized to be as simple as one could get away with. This narrows down the problem space considerably, and CS is our helpful guide, at the very least by putting lower bounds on complexity of specific computations.
That's what the RPi Zero 2 is all about. They are $15 and work great.
> I'm personally tired of the EV revolution being delayed by manufacturers insisting on tying it to high end or luxury-status cars.

Those are the only cars that have cost sufficiently inflated by nonessential niceties that some culling can free up the money required to buy battery for non-trivial range. ICE and gearboxes are ridiculously cheap compared car-sized batteries and at the lower end of the market there simply isn't much to skip outside engine and transmission.
This piece does not really touch on the many confounding variables that are found when examining the correlation between esoteric beliefs and social status. Level of education, for instance, is a biggie, even when accounting for the perceived prestige of where one goes to school.

The author dismisses some concepts, like cultural appropriation, by saying that the working-class people he grew up with not only didn't trouble themselves with it but didn't even realize that it was a concept.

But just because someone with low education and/or low status doesn't know about or understand a topic doesn't make that topic merely a status symbol, any more than it makes calculus a status symbol.

I agree, in part, with the author that certain pockets of higher education can veer into navel gazing and ivory-tower perspectives, and it can lead students to adopt distorted views of the world. But I don't think it can be said that just because a point of view is more prevalent among higher-educated people (who may indeed have higher status) that means the idea is bunk.
> I doubt that. React wasn't stable until 2015, and wasn't mainstream until 2016.

I started using React before its 1.0 version. Your reasoning is exactly what's wrong with Vercel. Arrogant inexperienced people that think they know better, empowered by VC money. Together with some idealization of being the smartest people around makes you come with solutions like "use server" and throw tantrums when people say this is stupid for a frontend library.

> Again, Next.js != React; the former builds on the latter, it doesn't replace it nor does it claim to be the same thing. I'm not sure why you keep conflating the two.

It is okay if you can't understand what I'm saying, it is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends upon his not understanding it. I also don't expect you to agree that the work you did contributed to an open source take-over for the sake of profit.

Edit: I just did a research to see if Meta is adopting the amazing "use server" and no public information is available, only people discussing that they aren't. That says a lot about the applicability of this feature and the direction React is being leaded to.
TLDR: They changed the idle time settings for running queries in their Snowflake database. Originally, they were set to idle for 10 minutes after every query, but most queries only took about 2 seconds to run.

Because people aren't buying a truck for the truck. They are buying a truck shaped car as a status symbol and so they prioritize cab space vs. bed space.
Well, I'd say you've seen SoA setups that do that, maybe. But those don't sound like microservices :) Perhaps that's not a strong point though.

Let me be a bit clearer on my point because I was wrong to say that you have to treat a service as being totally isolated, what I should have said that they are isolated, whether you treat them that way or not. There is a physical boundary between two computers. You can try to ignore that boundary, you can implement distributed transactions, etc, but the boundary is there - if you do the extra work to try to pretend it isn't, that's a lot of extra work to do the wrong thing.

Concretely, you can write:

rpc_call(&mut my_state)

But under the hood what has to happen, physically, is that your state has to be copied to the other service, the service can return a new state (or an update), and the caller can then mutate the state locally. There is no way for you to actually transfer a mutable reference to your own memory to another computer (and a service should be treated as if it may be on another computer, even if it is colocated) without obscene shenanigans. You can try to abstract around that isolation to give the appearance of shared mutable state but it is just an abstraction, it is effectively impossible to implement that directly.

But shared mutable state is trivial without the process boundary. It's just... every function call. Any module can take a mutable pointer and modify it. And that's great for lots of things, of course, you give up isolation sometimes when you need to.

And of course, it’s gray, even in the CGI they still chose a boring color! What happens to colored cars nowadays? Red yellow orange, how about purple?! I would drive a purple car! I have a red car and whenever I drive cars around me are either black, gray, or white, very depressing especially in winter.
Seems like the workers are happy with the status quo (no doubt due to the insane rally in the stock in the last few years)

What is interesting is that IF Metall and the Tesla workers in Sweden had actually met several times in the past. The employees, however, were reportedly unimpressed with what the union was offering.
The author is arguing extreme ideas like defund the police is self serving without anyone’s real interests in mind. Instead of calling it luxury beliefs, this the next phase of identity politics. A new litmus test.

Granular performance and team boundaries are both valid points. But, I haven't seen yet (around me) monolith applications so complex to have more teams working on them. I've seen instead applications developed by two persons where some higher-ups requested splitting them into microservices just because (no, scaling wasn't needed).
If your company has a microservice architecture but doesn't have proper knowledge on how should they communicate, how should they share code etc then it is the worst thing possible.
