Yeah I’d say it was convenient if there wasn’t a major Trump scandal each week in the past ten years at least.

Don’t some Christian sects do that as well?

Along with your Tax ID, credit card number and date of birth and mother’s maiden name.

It’s the Brussels effect, it’s been mandatory in the EU for a while now.

I don’t get what FSD adds to the highway experience though, a Kia can drive hundreds of kilometers on a highway with basically no input as well.

AI makes revenue go down, stock value go up. The real economy doesn’t matter, only Wall Street vibes.

With a JS-based query language, yeah

I’ve a slight manageable case of ADHD and I tend to obsessively hyperfocus on tasks. It’s a good relationship because I get a lot of shit done well, and enjoy my work.

If you start forcing me to plan out my day every day, down to 15 minute increments, my productivity drops by around 60%, because I stop concentrating on getting shit done, and start working to rule. Not because I’m vindictive, but because that’s what you asked me to do.

So they got their feelings satisfied with only a major annoyance to everyone and about a month of work wasted among everyone.

Definitely, and I’m saying that while my jobs were mostly on NoSQL and I love doing it.

My point is more that 90% of use cases don’t need that, and for those that do, you can’t just slap eg. Cassandra at it and pretend it’s a relational database.

MongoDB is huge though for all the wrong reasons, businesses think that just because it’s JS, they can just have frontend devs - sorry, they are “fullstack” now - doing DBA work.

I worked as one of two NoSQL DBAs for a Fortune 50 finance company, and there is a ton of CV-driven development going on giving NoSQL a bad name. Most use cases don’t need NoSQL. And for those which do, NoSQL is almost always harder to implement than simple SQL based RDBMSs.

I stand corrected. Thanks.

NoSQL has always been a niche use case thing.

For some stuff, no ACID is no problem. They have their place. What I’m more suspicious of is things like Google offering distributed databases that they pretend as if they could break the CAP theorem.

MS hasn’t released an Office version outside 365 for 8 years.

365 is Office for them.

The less-organized content creators will lose.

Sounds like they need a union.

Twitter was a barely working mess where fringe opinions thrived, whether they were destructive or constructive from what I’ve heard of it. The Musk buyout made it into a not-really-working mess with only destructive opinions.

And the rest are ads.

I guess they hurt discoverability and siphon away viewers?

I once ordered too many IKEA hotdogs and this picture completely recolors that experience for the worse
