> What's the advantage of stopping someone from naming the parameter when they pass it in?

There are cases where a parameter name is worthless on the calling side, this is especially common for unary or binary functions.

In that case, the ability to name the parameter on the call site just constrains the implementation, and the overrides (in the case of methods).
Halting (problem) is undecidable. Undecidability is not just the halting problem. Whether you go to the park on a given day is undecidable (assuming you have free will, and all such assumptions), but that you can be an oracle for this does not solve the halting problem.
Hey, it’s me - your new friend. I too am without a MacBook. Woe.
Is this a valid study? (most dietary studies are pretty poor)

Is it the lack of sugar or is that people who don't put sugar in their coffee have a bunch of other things they do? Maybe people who don't put sugar in their coffee are less likely to eat donuts. Maybe people who don't put sugar in their coffee are more likely to workout. Maybe people who don't put sugar in their coffee are more like to have better genes for T2D and that same collection of genes makes the predisposed to not put sugar in their coffee.

I'm not saying sugar isn't bad. It is! (I don't put sugar in my coffee) But, 1 teaspoon a cup doesn't sound like enough to have a measurable impact without knowing that everything else about the people is the same.

Reminds me this podcast

I'm thinking the assumption here was the accusation of gullibility being made against the first group was being made by a member of the second group, and the argument was that the second group presented greater gullibility traits.

However it should probably be noted that it was official government organizations of the first group that were being gullible whereas the official government organizations of the second group all seem to know exactly what's up, but either seem unable to do anything or are actively participating.
Same and within the same timeframe. It occurred to me that eating calories is a lot harder than drinking them so I made up a diet of the only liquid being water and no desserts. I’ve since refined it but the base idea was reasonably effective.
> Not OP, but UX also matters a lot.

That is particularly true for anything dealing with security. I evaluated both BitWarden and 1Password when we wanted to migrate away from LastPass. My recommendation was to eventually go with BW. Its open-source nature was a factor, but for a corporate use the UX factors were even more prominent.

Over a course of a month, I ran into several subtle footguns with 1P. Search included only some of the fields. Password reset/rotation flow was easy to mess up (thanks to the confusing + inconsistent "copy field" functionality) and get into a situation where the generated password that was stored in the vault was different from the one that was set: in my tests there was 50/50 chance of accidentally regenerating the password before the vault storage step after submitting the new one for a remote service.

There were a whole load of "features" that didn't make any sense. The UI for 1P was a real mess. The feeling I got from it was that their product had been captured by Product Managers[tm] desperate to justify their own existence by shipping ever more Features[tm] without considering the impact on the core functionality.

BW's UI is by no means perfect, and their entry editing flow is far from ideal. But at least most of the actual usability snags in their browser extension have a common workaround: pop the BW overlay out from the browser, into a separate window. Their open-source nature and availability of independent implementations mean that there will be alternatives, should BW go down the same features-features-and-more-antifeatures hellhole in their race to eventually appease their VC backers.

Less is more.

Yup. It's easy to write a to-do app. What is hard is 10 years later of features and needing to add more. While also dealing with the architecture short sightedness and pitfalls. Anyone who has worked on legacy software knows, at some point, all architectural decisions eventually become architectural pitfalls, primarily because requirements and customers change. It becomes a point where, its not really the code that's the issue, its design and customers' changing requirements.

Looking at the effort being put in it seems there’s a massive market for proper Postgres analytics / columnstore, which is very telling of the pain involved in moving data between systems.
Well, pg_mooncake is a Postgres extension. So it's really just Postgres :)

We embed DuckDB in our extension as the vectorized execution engine on columnstore tables.

Why rebuild a vectorized execution, when DuckDB has a lot of GREAT properties for this workload (similar syntax to Postgres, embedability).

Here's our architecture: https://www.mooncake.dev/blog/how-we-built-pgmooncake

Author here - isn't it just. I believe there's a lot of organizations whose IT infrastructure has been set up a couple of decades ago and then barely maintained due to non-existing resources.

So while this is absolutely ancient tech and process by most means, it has been a huge step up from copying files over to machines by hand through RDP connections.

And also, our apps have no problems having even a few minutes' downtime, so cold restarts are absolutely fine for us.

While I would absolutely like to get into containerized zero downtime deployments, from where we're actually standing now, those don't seem to be offer much in the way of ROI.

And please, if anyone has a more suitable process in mind, please let me know!
I see pre AGI AI to be superset of search and its hard to argue that google isn't ahead technically for decades and what they are doing is extremely difficult.

Idk why such noob stuff is upvoted on HN.

The only thing this tells you that you should try to avoid a billon nested loop iterations in python. In case you didnt know.

On the other hand I would also see python as a bit questionable for bigger procejts, just because at some point a type system does more help than harm. But I have never really worked with pythons type extension so nowadays even this might be good enough.
I heard of a vaguely related story. A team left a big investment bank, and stole some software along the way. The bank realized 6 months later, but decided to not prosecute. They concluded it would make them look too bad that a team managed to steal all this software and not be caught; bad to their investors, bad to other employees. So that was that.

Whether it's true is of course a whole different question.

Dont offer excessive money. Money is like shit whose smell attracts flies. The more money starts entering the system, the more flies come in. The more flies, the more rigorous the vetting process. That's where the infamous google hiring system started kicking in.
This isn’t about the russian soul, it’s about a small vindictive man called Putin who has his opponents beaten to death in front of the Kremlin, or poisoned, or murdered on his birthday if the poisoning doesn’t work. He even poisons his allies to threaten them. He orders murders like this out of spite and because fear is the only weapon he understands.

This horrible little man is valorised by the current US president as ‘a genius’ so this sort of stupidity transcends national borders.

At least people get a vague idea of what war really can be like. Very few people would be attracted by that violence unless it’s extremely romanticized.

There were no war movies before WW1 and no major wars for a few generations so there were millions of extremely eager young men lining up in front of recruitment offices in Germany, Britain and France. They had zero idea what they were signing up for.
I honestly couldn't disagree more. Having built very similar systems in Golang, Python, and Java in different companies, and having used MongoDB and other NoSQLs
as well as Postgres to similar ends, I have very strong preferences about which I'd rather use in the future.

Even simple requirements can rule out languages for me. Like, if you need async or concurrency, Python is awful. If you need SQL in your code, Golang isn't great. If you are building a simple CRUD backend, Java is waste of time. If you aren't doing anything compute heavy or embedded, why even consider C++ or Rust. The list goes on.
They've got 3. So, not even breaking single digits vs 11.

I don't think they can build 7 in the year. Canada has another 3, the UK 2, India has one. They might be non aligned but i bet they'd take a defensive posture to deny force.

However the real problem with invading Taiwan is opposed landing. Costly in manpower and loss of capital ships from standoff weapons. If the fleet is defending the aircraft carriers it can't be doing suppression of radar and opposition jets, which are operating from the advantage of onshore vs offshore launch and recovery.

In their favour is sailing times from fleet deployments elsewhere. That's why SIGINT matters.

> extra text

This describes the majority of all literature, works of the written word, and perhaps human communication in general. For Tolkien, it could be argued that the whole purpose of his books is to entertain with the medium of language, so all that "extra text" is not extra at all, since they're all supposed to be there to be appreciated and enjoyed. If you took away the "extra", there would be no literature there, just a plot summary.

For those wondering how anyone is dealing with such an ancient process, I've written a piece about the history of automation in our org that might shed some light: https://rewiring.bearblog.dev/automation-journey-of-a-legacy...
Well, I have literally never seen someone use ideologue in a non-pejorative way, but here it is. Anyways, I would delete my previous comment, knowing you meant no offense, even if I don't think I am an ideologue, or that you could have possibly pinned me for one from my original comment (which IMO was pretty tame, I just really like what NASA does).

In any case, I don't know if IM needs to lose a contract or not, I should have been more specific and probably done more research, but I was more interested in NASA retaining funding for their missions, and if they think IM is a good company then by golly I'm not one to second guess rocket scientists.

Overall, I don't agree with the fact that any of the other stuff was cut the way it was. R's hold both legislative bodies, the executive branch, and the judicial branch (kinda). If they wanted to cut funding the proper way, with a budget and all that jazz about how a bill becomes a law, that's fine. However simply cutting the funding at the exec level with no regard for anything is fucking stupid and illegal.

As far as betting markets being accurate goes, I have no opinion or experience for that as I don't play those types of betting games. It could be very useful, but I don't really care if I am right or wrong overall, I will and do change my views if I am wrong (sidebar: would an ideologue do that I wonder?). I used to be a much different person, politically, and as I learn new things I change my view of the world over time. My bet with my worldviews is that I go out and do things that align with those views, the prize is that the things I do make a positive difference.

I love your website!

Of course, not for the content itself, but because it's really a time capsule of the feelings and hopes of our time, back then, when we were teens, discovering this new exciting thing called Internet, the excitement of meeting like minded people and have discussions that you could never have with your friends.

I feel like nothing is ever gonna replicate that excitement anymore, but that may be more related to us being 40+ than the technology not being available xD

Sai from PeerDB/ClickHouse here. Nice to see the progress on this project! I wanted to leave a few notes:

For analytics on transactional data, it looks like you'd still need to use logical replication (https://github.com/Mooncake-Labs/pg_mooncake/issues/90). Logical replication is somewhat similar to an ETL/CDC experience, though it's more Postgres-native. Managing logical replication at a production grade isn't trivial — it's quite common for customers to use PeerDB for homogeneous replication due to performance, manageability and observability issues with logical replication.

One potential value of extensions is Postgres compatibility for your queries. However, I'm curious about the SQL coverage on columnar tables — for example, advanced constructs like partitioned tables, prepared statements, correlated subqueries, RCTEs, triggers, and more. While it seems there’s ongoing work to improve compatibility, achieving full Postgres compatibility is challenging. In some cases, you might need to fall back to Postgres (instead of DuckDB), sacrificing performance for certain queries.

The biggest challenge we faced at Citus was the constant trade-off between Postgres compatibility and performance — both are complex and constantly moving targets. This was the key reason why Citus couldn't compete with purpose-built databases like Snowflake, ClickHouse, SingleStore. While DuckDB didn’t exist when we built Citus, it's still fundamentally different from Postgres. Even though the DuckDB dialect is somewhat similar to Postgres (as is Snowflake’s), retrofitting two distinct databases — each evolving independently for world's best performance — isn't trivial.

In short, relying on ETL (logical replication) without providing full Postgres compatibility raises the question: is it better to lean on a purpose-built database with a laser focus on performance, or adopt a more generalized approach?

Anyway, I come from a different school of thought — using the right tool for the right job. That said, I love seeing all the progress and evolution in the Postgres community — Postgres will always be my first love!

Muscle movement is also necessary for the limbic system to function.
This is a good argument. While models for producing useful text and images will continue to improve and create evermore convincing outputs, they lack some fundamental aspects of lived experience. Imagine if we could record all (or many) aspects of our daily experience from 1M+ viewpoints over many years - that would lead to a revolutionary model and would be unfathomably expensive to train.

The sounds heard waiting for a train. The experience of going on a date or hiking or swimming. The tastes and sensation of biting into some fruit. They each hold such a rich multi-modal experience that feels impossible to replicate in a model at at this time. An LLM can describe it but it cannot experience it.

Not that such experience is required to do what an AGI might be asked to do, but how could something reach AGI or higher without that level of experiential detail?
If Germany acquires nuclear weapons it would be through direct cooperation with France/Britain, nothing else would make sense. So that speed up the process significantly and alleviate some of the concerns.
