I wasn't talking about intrinsic worth at all. That kind of framing is still looking at things in terms of quantity rather than quality. I'm talking about the difference in the very worldview and paradigm. I am certainly not just

There is no procedural method or recipe in which would lead to someone finding their purpose like that. This purpose isn't a purely objective and externalized thing. To do otherwise, it would be no different than partaking in one of th

I have a single memory before I was 6 months old. I was young enough to not be able to move much, not even to flip over, and everything was black and white. It was not a story my parents planted. I remember being in a crib and being picked

Cillium has been bought out by Cisco, so its monetization is only a matter of time. Also, not everyone needs to implement a service mesh.

I remember Slack themselves seeing it as an email replacement, and not intended for remote work. It struck me as weird because I was on remote teams using it differently, and it felt as if Slack was out of touch with their own product. Thi

Notify can be triggered with stored procedures to send payloads related to changes to a table. It can be set up to send the id of a row that was inserted or updated, for example. (But WAL replication is usually better for this)
429.
by hosh 3y ago
I see. So the notify is just to say there is work to be performed, but there is no payload that includes the job. The consumer still has to make a query. If there isn’t enough work, the queries should come back empty. This saves from having

Postgres's LISTEN/NOTIFY doesn't keep those kinds of records. The whole point of using SKIP LOCK is so that you can make updates to rows to keep those kinds of messages with concurrent consumers.
431.
by hosh 3y ago
With the way LISTEN/NOTIFY works, Postgres doesn't keep a record of messages that are not sent. So you cannot replay this. Unless you know something about postgresql that I don't know about.

Efficacy has more to do with the specific situation than the tools you use. Rather, it is versatility of a tool that allows someone to take advantage of the situation. What makes abstractions more versatile has more to do with its composabi

You could shell out to execute with porcelain, make the python a long-running process and use ports, or port your python code to NX.

It’s interesting you bring up kids. In a belief system where there is a Creator, and the Creator is a Mother, all of Creation are her children. Thus, as humans, raising and nurturing a child is as much of an act of creation as art, music, e

That really depends upon your beliefs and understanding of the cosmos. Not everyone agrees with that. To be fair, I have practiced shaivasana (“corpse pose”), specifically including “corpse don’t care” as a response to existential anguish a

It’s true, a good editor or producer collaborates with the creative to get it across the finish line, flawed as it is. It works better if there is mutual respect. My point though is when generalizing and reframing this about the deceased vs

by hosh 3y ago
This is less about the deceased's desires over that of the living and more about creative control. Any creator will want to polish their work. It's already difficult enough to articulate and express the source of inspiration, and

Sure, although the sensations themselves are not the cause of being present or not. The idea of having music in the background to evoke a montage scene is a kind of fantasizing on what it feels like to be … montaging. My mind does something
