PGMQ doesn't seem to have functionality for returning a payload to the task submitter.

For example, lets say the task is something like:

Run a SELECT query on database FOO, returning the results

There would be workarounds (ie store the results in a "results" table or similar) but just being able to directly return the result in a message to the caller is conceptually simpler.
I think the economics trump the social factors mostly. It seems to take ever more education in order to grasp at an ever more ephemeral stability, and children need a decade or two of stability when growing up. I can’t imagine anyone will be encouraging their 16 year old daughters to have children any time soon.

Except for all the evidence in the article about how this was a trend.
I'm sure there's some great schema implementation that you can bolt onto JSON, but personally I have never seen anyone actually using one in the wild.

With protobuf the schema is essential, it is the foundation. I feel this is a huge advantage especially for communication protocols.

Ah, but the position of “My point is that even with free will, you have to have some difference in input to get different output.” is fundamentally at odds with having free will. Because free will means to actually have a independent choice. To not have the outcomes/decisions be predetermined or fixed.

But that position means all resulting choices are fundamentally due to the inputs, which means there actually is no possibility for a truly independent or ‘free’ choice, no? The outcome was inevitable when the input was fixed, de facto.

That is the crux of the issue.

Notably this debate has been going on as long as we have records, so not like we’re going to ‘solve’ it now.
Did it ever work? I remember having to write some pretty gnarly hacks to work around the broken Python code protoc would barf out. Working outside of Go and perhaps Java/Kotlin I've little faith that they're not going to break things further.

> heritability of two eyes is near 0%.

Isn't that just an example of poor sampling/ test hypothesis? Heritability of eyes should be 100% (as predicted) if you include people with genetic blindness.

There obviously are genes for eyes, and they have a causal relationship with humans having eyes. They may have many variations that produce working eyes, but that doesnt mean the relation isnt causal.

Maybe i miss how this relates to your greater point that genetic associations are just coincidental, not causal.

Seems easy enough to test for the case of genetic intelligence. If you find a subset of genes within genetically diverse populations that cross culture, geography, and societies, then you would need a very strong rationale for coincidental association.
There was. I had one at work, it was huge (for the time). It displayed in 4-bit grayscale IIRC.

From what I've seen, it's always about cost. They would post salary ranges if that weren't the case.

Non-technical people are always hiring technical people. How do houses get built? Who hire lawyers?... It's either references or researching the person's professional experience. And yes, people can lie. But that happens everywhere not just in tech.

Workplace injuries. Not from any 'adversary'. Government doesn't want to admit liability for millions (billions?) in workplace injury claims.

When the Syndrome hits in places all over the US and elsewhere (including Washington DC itself), the implication would be that some 'adversary' has weapons everywhere all over the world. That's a ridiculous idea. Far more likely is that the Government guys are doing something at work that damages them.

Exactly because the consumers of those API's exhibit a strong preference for one or the other.

Library/module/API developers often seek to deliver maximimum adaptibility in their interfaces so that consumers of them can satisfy their own more specific/pressing requirements.
Correct. Why is that? Apply this logic to the current comment chain, starting from OP.

Nailed it. We're confusing the second derivative (how much are we "accelerating" pollution) with the real scalar value of interest (distance from the pollution "cliff"). Taking your foot off the gas does nothing. Putting your foot hard on the brakes may not even do anything! Momentum do what it do.

Yes, your libraries should fix that. The OS (as in the kernel) should not try to do any abstraction.

Alas, kernels really like to offer abstractions.
To be fair, the article does warn:

>> Rejecting the anthropomorphism that permeates the preceding 10 chapters, she cautions that “putting too human a sheen on plant intelligence is a failure of imagination.”

A courtesy caveat emptor for the objective passersby suffering from acute antilibrary fatigue.
that last bit i find interesting. You not just get to run it at efficient rpm it can also be dramatically smaller and have better acceleration. It could even continue to run after reaching the destination (since you have an engine it might as wel do work for you)
Funny you should mention nullability. That was a big debate in proto2 vs proto3.

It's used in different contexts, including the original meaning of "all correct", which is apparently offering an opinion.
When I say "Amish" I mean "Old Order Amish". Mennonites have both lower fertility and lower retention, so their demographic future is less bright overall.

That said, there is a subgroup of the Mennonites, the Old Order Mennonites, who have fertility and retention much closer to that of the Old Order Amish. The Wenger Mennonites, in particular, are rather similar in those measures. But only around a third of Old Order Mennonites are Wenger, and only around 15% of Mennonites in the US are Old Order.
What's your go-to stack for new web projects today?

I've never seen a mature project using a full-stack JS framework that avoids being dependent on the server. Not only are they dependent on the build time and bundler, the latest trend has been having the build split out routes, data loaders, APIs, etc. to RPC calls that are often entirely dependent on the server with a specific build hash.

I totally agree there's a right balance to where logic lives and how clients and servers interact, but the modern JS frameworks have swung so hard to the end of trying to blur the lines between client and server that, in my experience, they end up with a rats nest of bundled and minified code that's nearly impossible to debug and will run into painful upgrades every 6-18 months.

But do stories like the origin being "ola kala" have any actual primary-source evidence? If not, they're just old wives' tales.

This version has actual evidence. It has the first recorded use. It situates it in the context of the fad at the time. It shows that in the first usage the author included the expanded version because other people wouldn't know it. It shows how it was replied to be someone who had read the article.

I find it odd when someone replies to a piece of research with their own story that they believe simply because they heard it first.

> They were told that to have children was a failing

Were they? High-achiever families routinely demonize having relationships at 16 but then turn it around VERY QUICKLY after getting that college degree and want their children to get married and have kids before 30.

(That said many high achievers themselves don't actually want to have kids, despite family pressure to have kids at 30.)
My Mom recently got banned from X, she literally has never tweeted and just uses it to follow some family members. She sent in an appeal and got a seemingly auto reply rejection immediately that she will never be able to access X again. Even worse then this in the sense that they refused to even tell her what she was accused of. I am guessing her account got hacked and someone sent something objectionable. It is not the end of the world for her but she was pretty upset by it. It got me thinking how screwed I would be if google decided to ban me with no recourse. I think the complete lack of support in these situations should be illegal.

As a data point, there's a similar Go based project called Neoq:

https://github.com/acaloiaro/neoq
I do like Vite, and other frameworks built on it like Astro, but to be fair Vite's magic really isn't at the initial project stage.

Virtual modules are really tricky to understand IMO, especially if you need to debug one. There are subtle differences between dev and production that make sense for a bundler but can be really confusing to a dev. Imports also don't work quite the same, mainly when you start using features like `?raw` imports to get the contents of an SVG file or something like that.
Examples of JARs, that transport such libraries: snappy, sqlite...

That's a story with no evidence, though. The written records simply cannot support it. All we have is supposition or people quoting it to each other saying it was Greek whoevers but no unselfconscious uses of it in that context.
Why do you need a whole language for that? Couldn't you just use a 'modern' networking library?
Since you're being pedantic, greenhouse gases don't have an infinite lifetime in the atmosphere so they will start going down slightly before we hit net-zero.

I hope most understood that I meant to say peak greenhouse gas emissions.
That sounds really familiar. Maybe Altivec did that? I remember it did something like that but I wish that it would just fault.
It makes me think humans aren't special, and there is no soul, and consciousness is just a bunch of wires like computers. Seriously, to see the ENTIRETY of human experience, love and tragedy and achievement, are just electric potentials transmitted by those wiggly cells, just extinguishes any magic I once saw in humanity.
It is true that once you are rich enough you no longer need children to help support the family unit as was an imperative historically (and still in the poor parts of the world), so we cannot discount the economics. That is no doubt why it became the fashion. It was a demonstration of how rich we've become. A display of human progress and achievement.

But I see some change in sentiment around questioning what good is being rich if you can't enjoy it with your children. It is not happening overnight by any stretch of the imagination, but I think the tides are slowly starting to turn.
The real issue in modern data centers is TCP. Of course at present, we need to know about these little annoyances at the application layer, but what we really need is innovation in the data center at level 4. And yes I know that many people are looking into this and have been for years, but the economic motivation clearly has not yet been strong enough. But that may change if the public's appetite for LLM-based tooling causes data centers to increase 10x (which seems likely).
It wouldn't. It would subtract, but differently for each eye. Differential subtraction between two eyes is not addition, but it has certain characteristics in common with it.

The take-away I get is that abstraction layers (in the kernel) can be bad.

Operating system kernels should enable secure multiplexing of resources. Abstraction and portability should be done via libraries.

Ask HN: How do you use React as a library in 2024?
Hi all,
With most of the current trend being to use React as a framework (e.g. NextJS), is there anyone here who still uses React as a library? If so, how is your setup?

I'm asking this is because I want to go back to MVC, but I don't want to miss out on the nice libraries out there built for React. Hence I want to combine MVC + React as a library.
As a sibling has already pointed out, this blog post has nothing to do with “Google themselves”. In addition, “nothing really for end users” is obviously bullshit and inconsistent with what the post says itself, e.g.

> This means your existing proto3 projects can now use default field values and extensions.

proto3 not having required and default values was a big source of complaints, so supporting these indefinitely into the future with feature flags instead of having to be stuck forever on proto2 has to be a welcome change for a subset of users, at the very least.
I mean yeah. Not existing has a utility value of 0. You can make the same argument for people who don't exist yet. Is it infinite utility to go around as a government and force people to pump out 100 babies a year? Since not existing is so bad?

TBH if I never existed by definition I would be fine with it, you know, since I don't exist and was never born. I don't think its coherent to measure things from aggregate utilitarian POV, since the optimal solution seems relentless expansionism like a virus.
Thanks! It's definitely a challenge but we've been making some progress.
hmm idk a part of me doesn't believe the program went away just rebranded and renamed itself esp. with things like Executive Order 13587 & the recent NSS but that could be because I come from a place that has shown me the worst of humanity maybe with enough time in the free world I'll learn to be Mr. Optimist :)

but the morality/legality of something like that is cool to think about as a thought exercise :- if they're doing anything beyond their legal parameters or beyond their remit, they wouldn't broadcast it or expose themselves by using it to arrest someone even in a hypothetical scenario where the data points to a person being kidnapped from an apartment, driven across state lines, and murdered which in my head seems worse than the collection but idk the laws feel not mallable enough for the age we live in
They might, depending on the slight. It's a culture that emphasizes politeness and propriety after all. You might’ve chosen one of the least effective counter-examples for this one.
The problem with making it opt in is that the point of the protocol was to fix apps that, while they perform fine for the developer on his LAN, would be hell on internet routers. So the people who benefit are the ones who don't know what they are doing and only use the defaults.

I think the closest thing I can think of is Sony, perhaps, doing an offensive ad(to Americans) with the PS5/6. I do think it'd be written about and they'd apologize, though it's a little different because Sony has a specific US subsidiary which acts like its own company.
Small tangent, but I first learned of the "What is it like to be a bat?" question via the book The Mountain in the Sea by Ray Nayler. Really good book that deals with the ethical problems of emerging sentience in a species of octopus, while set to the backdrop of climate change, sentient AI and overfished oceans.
Not sure if this is a bit off topic or not, but I recently encountered a problem where my program are continuously calling write to a socket in a loop that loops N times, with each of them sending about a few hundred bytes of data representing an application-level message. The loop can be understanded as some "batched messages" to server. After that, the program will try to receive data from server and do some processing.

The problem is that if N is above certain limit (e.g. 4), the server will resulting in some error saying that the data is truncated somehow. I want to make N larger because the round-trip latency is already high enough, so being blocked by this is pretty annoying. Eventually, I found an answer on stackoverflow saying that setting TCP_NODELAY can fix this, and it actually magically enable be to increase N to a larger number like 64 or 128 without causing issues. Still not sure why TCP_NODELAY can fix this issue and why this problem happens in the first place.

You are very much living in a bubble. Real developers don't use macs.
Proto3 already got the required/optional feature added. I don't see why they couldn't have added default values too. (Personally I liked proto3 without optionals, defaults, extensions, etc, but it was a tough sell for people already used to proto2.)
I think you are a little optimistic that the full EDA flow would be "not... particularly difficult to write." On the implementation side alone, you'd need to write a SystemVerilog compiler, logic synthesis, timing analysis, timing optimization, power analysis, clock gating, coarse placement, global routing, detailed routing, placement legalization, physical design planning, clock tree synthesis, design rule checking, lots more underlying technology to make it work, and lots of steps I'm not remembering. Every one of those sub-areas is it's own specialty. Then you can start thinking about verification.
It absolutely impacts the question - because in your example, there is no actual choice available on behalf of the person. All they have is their inevitable fate, as it were, that they are playing out. And while that fate may not be known in advance, it is unchangeable and fixed.
