Parallel and Series makes sense to me; it's also the terminology used for electrical circuits.

The purpose of command and control servers is to send and receive data to victims devices.

A secondary goal is to do so while evading detection. This is why many threat actors piggy-back off of legitimate services, it disguises the malware communications and avoids directly exposing the upstream C2 instance.

The main use case, in my opinion, is for tests/CI. SQLite has traditionally been used to quickly run tests, however, if your actual infra uses PostgreSQL then the value is limited.

Hang on a minute. How do you square your claim that it's as it should be that train drivers can be paid as much as airline pilots, with your claim that everyone else is underpaid, including, presumably, airline pilots

What is inconsistent about those two things?

You can simultaneously believe that train drivers and airline pilots deserve to be paid more.

He said that his team had hoped for it to become a prescription medicine dosed at 500 mcg, because anything higher gave paradoxical effects and actually made sleep worse.

Tangentially, I'm reminded of this interview around ~31m.

TL;DR they found something that promoted deeper sleep, but people didnt necessary feel "well rested", and so it was shelved for something that subjectively improved sleep but actually reduced the quality of sleep.

I'm amazed that this has reached the almost-top of HN.

The article is objectively bad; the subject is clearly something a lot of people think about, myself included.

But definitely not within database functions and procedures.

I generally find Hungarian notation silly, however, there's a compelling argument to have them in functions and procedures — perhaps more than for views. The type of the variable matters just as much as where/how it was declared, such as in/out params.

That's the 'steelman' argument for them, as I understand it.

I have read this exact claim before, for what it is worth. Did you end up here simply because you repeated what you saw elsewhere without actually thinking about it?

I can't tell if you're being intentionally obtuse. It behooves you to research the topic being discussed, instead of writing long-winded snarky posts.

It is not worth continuing this discussion unless you can demonstrate, with explicit code examples, what you think we're talking about, and why you believe it is incorrect.
