Dijkstra On the foolishness of "natural language programming" | Hacker News
news.ycombinator.com
Highlights
This reminded me of this old quote from Hal Abelson:"Underlying our approach to this subject is our conviction that "computer science" is not a science and that its significance has little to do with computers. The computer revolution is a revolution in the way we think and in the way we express what we think. The essence of this change is the emergence of what might best be called procedural epistemology—the study of the structure of knowledge from an imperative point of view, as opposed to the more declarative point of view taken by classical mathematical subjects. Mathematics provides a framework for dealing precisely with notions of "what is". Computation provides a framework for dealing precisely with notions of "how to"."

Microsoft has laid off entire teams behind Virtual, Mixed Reality, and HoloLens | Hacker News

Highlights
Fun fact. The military started using AR at the start of the Iraq invasion. Product was essentially Google Glass with facial recognition against a static/ local dataset (stored on device), but in 2004 - for identifying wanted suspects at checkpoints.Was produced by a company called Osterhout Design Group. Ralph Osterhout also had the distinction of creating the PVS-7 Night Vision goggles in 3 months - still used to this day.Ralph was a pioneer in waveguide technology that went into ODG's AR glasses. The display tech from the Hololens? Licensed from ODG. Time is a flat circle I suppose.

Show HN: pg_netstat, a Postgres extension to monitor database network traffic | Hacker News
news.ycombinator.com
Highlights
I have spent some time to search for a tool that can ingest realtime network traffic data to Postgres but have no luck, so I developed this extension and used it internally in our team. Thanks Rust, pgx and libpcap, the development journey is easy and enjoyable.Would like to hear more feedbacks. Any contributions, feature requests, bug report or ideas are welcomed.

In mathematics we're usually concerned with declarative (what is) descriptions, whereas in computer science we're usually concerned with imperative (how to) descriptions (p22)
PostgreSQL: Documentation: 14: SELECT

Highlights
With SKIP LOCKED, any selected rows that cannot be immediately locked are skipped. Skipping locked rows provides an inconsistent view of the data, so this is not suitable for general purpose work, but can be used to avoid lock contention with multiple consumers accessing a queue-like table.

Things I’ve learned in my 20 years as a software engineer | Hacker News
news.ycombinator.com
Highlights
I do a lot of dev work with non-profits and such. About a year ago I was working on an extremely difficult project as a volunteer where I was insistent that a specific part was vitally important to getting the project to move forward (generalizing tables extraction from scanned OCR docs) and I was spending a lot of time on it. One of the devs I worked with, with 40+ years of experience, basically told me this exact thing. He argued that what I as working on was a waste of time and that I shouldn't work on "code golf" problems, because of the likelihood of failure and that ultimately I should consider the human side of the problem. He said it was best to work on other things instead.
