It's not about NoSQL vs SQL. Facebook's Tao is still backed by MySQL, so it's not like there's some intrinsic limitation. The issues are number of records examined to return a result, lock contention, sharding, and replication/consistency. NoSQL databases generally trade some of the conveniences of relational to be able to provide stronger properties in these aspects.

The limitations that Sarah Mei identifies as clownpants is using a 32 bit primary key for an identifier for an ephemeral thing. That is again nothing to do with SQL vs NoSQL. It would affect both of them the same way.

You’re reading a ton of stuff into my comment that isn’t there. The origin of the term fascist comes from the Italian Fascist party. That’s what it was called. That’s where the word comes from. This is a historical fact. That is literally all I wrote. Absolutely no where did I say the Nazis weren’t fascists or defend them in any way whatsoever.

Thank you for reminding me to never, ever discuss politics on this website. No one even reads what you wrote and instead projects their own inane political universe onto you. No thanks.

I'm obviously biased as I work for the D foundation, but I tried C# for a while - it's was fairly nice to use but the lack of const-correctness and purity where I wanted it made me badly miss D.

D is not a simple language, but the solutions it chooses are usually very simple - for example, D has unit testing in the language, this is maybe a day's work in most compilers and yet not many others do it.

Society is better off when police show probable cause before getting data of private citizens. In the article, EFF highlights two cases where police made unspecific requests for data of large swaths of people. Such requests have a chilling effect on our society.

Bicarbonate soda is an amazing product: we've been using it instead of washing-up liquid for our daughter's cutlery and crockery. Also to clean the bath before she goes in.

5 years ago,we bought a sofa, which came with a massive stench because of VOCs and fire retardants it gets soaked into.. After we complained, they sent in a guy,who pretended he can't smell shit and suggested going to the doctor for allergies.. to my knowledge, California is one of very few places, where furniture foam doesn't need to be soaked in harmful chemicals.
So that now is your proof that he is a fascist? What a joke - literally.

I ascribe to the theory of Norman Borlaug "saving over a billion people worldwide from starvation." To be fair I haven't done much research into it so who can say if it's true, but it's a good story nonetheless..

> This statement doesn't suggest simplicity as a measure of realness and it is unclear why reality would necessarily prefer the simpler thing.

Because it doesn't matter if the results are the same, and simpler things are inherently preferred. Assume that both of these models are 100% correct in their predictions: there is no reason whatsoever to believe that the more complicated one is a "truer" model of reality, nor is there a reason to believe the simpler one is, so we proceed on the notion that the simpler one is because that is more to our liking and the end results are the same.

I guess one of the fundamental impasses here is that I am not convinced, on a philosophical level, that there is any deeper "realness" than can be modeled. If we can't model it, or rather if modelling it serves no purpose, then it may as well not exist.

> As for whether it matters, I think that's rather the point: We don't know if it matters until we find out it does. I don't think we can know if matters until the moment it definitely does.

Right. We must assume reality is what it appears to be until we make observations and tests that prove otherwise, then we construct a new model. We must assume that new model represents reality because we simply have no alternative until we build a better model.

> A 100% accurate full-knowledge model is, by our own models, an impossibility. And even if we had such a model, how would we ever know it?

To a certain extent we can't. No matter how many correct predictions we make there is always the possibility that we will eventually make an observation that defies our model. That's sorta my point. What we call reality is, by necessity, a product of observation, deduction, testing, and modelling. We have to construct our reality from that, and talking about whether or not an accurate model represents some deeper "reality" or not is pointless without an alternative.

If right now we question the "reality" of spacetime, what changes? Can we even build an accurate model of reality as we currently know it without spacetime? Can that model be made simpler than the ones with spacetime? If so, no one has done it yet. Therefore we have no choice but to believe that the universe isn't deceiving us and spacetime actually does exist, because believing the opposite is completely pointless.
It means exactly what it means. No more, no less. sig above got it, so it's not impossible to imagine. No need to be an expert, that shouldn't be necessary. Sorry if I used difficult words. The point is to think it through for yourself anyways, and not depend blindly on authority.
z and fzf are among the first things i install on a new account.
There is some truth in this tweet but it doesn't mean you should use a nosql document database.

Storing more context in document helps obviously because you don't have to fetch the data many times, it's actually also done in relational databases whenever needed. But you can't store a lot in one document, that doesn't scale nor work.

For example, if someone changes its avatar or want to delete its account, do you want to parse all your social network documents to update an avatar or remove the comments on a tiny subset of them ? If a post is popular, are you going to update its document thousands of times per second ?

In practice you will most likely find a mix of everything. Relational databases, in memory data stores, cache layers, perhaps a few nosql documents database, some big data stuff and a probably some excel sheets.
no im saying the actual practical use. keeping track of who owns what can be accomplished way better with a centralized database.

the only thing novel is that its decentralized and inefficient but the average user really doesnt care about that.
Quasilinear is still fine too.
That's horrifying. I prefer the new smell of PCB.

I think it is more that people recognize that many parties and politicians exist to serve those with power, and act to enforce plutocracy over those without power.
Good point. We built paid products. Advertising was not a major driver of revenue. People wanting to buy/renew the product was.

Maybe a good analogy here is building a calculator. People buy your calculator and use it (the assumption is because it saves them time). Initially your calculator only does basic arithmetic and you add square root, exponential function, etc. Now people buy and use your calculator for even more. They spend more “time” with the calculator but still save even more “time” not having to use pen and paper, so it’s a productivity gain. Soon a movie on Netflix comes out called “The Calculators” which blames the fact that people are no longer able to do basic arithmetic in their head on a calculated decision by your company to profit from people while making them dumber. It paints your company as making people dependent on your calculators and robbing them of their cognitive abilities.

This was never your intent when creating the calculator. Now it’s something you will have to address, but the narrative here is one of unintended consequences not a deliberate plan.

He didn't call you a Nazi. What he said was: you're alleging the misuse of a term, but you're doing so while being very vague and giving brief, angry replies to comments all over the place, and this... pattern... is characteristic of bad-faith and/or extremist commenters on threads about anything posted almost anywhere.

If you have some information you want to talk about in detail, I suggest you do so; it is much nicer to carry out discussions when we don't have to guess what the point is.
The first point is what was in the post as being tied to the resource.

I don't think that control of Jerusalem would make a lot of business sense for medieval European states. Still they sent several crusades, each pretty expensive, and mostly failing.

Were it not for the special religious status of Jerusalem, they won't care. There were more important trade route chokepoints, and more convenient sea ports nearby, if trade control were the actual agenda.

It looks like a great SaaS product targeting solo-founders that don't have enough time to build their own reports. The customer data platforms such as Segment enable these use-cases by making the integration seamless enough for everyone so Segment looks like a great choice too, congrats!

It's not an argument but as the companies scale, I see that most of them often feel the need of switching to (or adding an extra layer) a BI tool for flexibility so I hope to see the same trend among the data analysts. It's now trivial to ingest the customer event data into your data warehouse thanks to Segment Warehouse, open-source tools such as Snowplow, and even GA4 which provides a free way to ingest the data into your BigQuery project.

The open-source ELT tools such as dbt can be used to build up similar models for product analytics using SQL. That way, you can use the default definition of `Power Users` out of the box and customize it later on if you need to join different datasets in order to calculate the same metrics as you grow.

I’m actually working on a similar product that works on top of the data warehouse using SQL, you model your event data (or just use integrations) and run ad-hoc funnel & retention queries but I must admit that the onboarding process is not seamless as yours. :)

> I would assume the IPsec traffic is the WiFi Calling feature?

yes it is. i can see packets flowing when receiving a call for example... the destination/origin of these packets is into my providers network...
I no longer buy the "use relational databases for relational data, use NOSQL for non-relational data" mentality.

Basically all meaningful data in an application context has relationships. There is no real such thing as "non-relational data"

Instead the question really is do you want a planned, enforced schema or an unplanned, freeform one.

Use a SQL database for the former.

Take a long look in a mirror and question the decisions that made you the way you are if the latter.

I think words have meanings, and labeling everyone you disagree with as the most negative adjective possible is dangerous for democracy and society. It is dehumanizing, which only leads to further polarization.

Why that is controversial, I have absolutely no idea.
> I watched part of the speed run on marathon + death world challenge and the guy got robotics under 2 hours. So it’s nit that late game.

You were watching a speed runner who knew exactly what they were doing. I was a first time player who didn't. I spent north of 30 hours tediously laying out factory bits and wondering "why the hell can't I automate this?"

P.S.: and hey wait, whole speed runs of Factorio seem to be in the range of 2-3 hours, and you're suggesting under 2 hours isn't late game?
I have been day dreaming about a program taking a factorio blueprint and running it through a genetic algorithm to produce a compressed but still functional version. I can imagine it could produce some interesting spaghetti layout! One way to ensure that the end result still works the same would be to only let the algorithm work with a selection of predefined refactoring steps that guarantee that the factory does not break. Another maybe more interesting approach would be to include some actual simulation that could test the factory. With the simulation the algorithm could work more freely with possibly destructive changes and apply them until the factory works as expected. This I figure would produce even more interesting spaghetti..
You have evidence of this happening in the past?

Sounds like fun! For what it's worth, ublox GPS modules and their clones should be configurable to always produce a PPS signal regardless of whether or not they have a satellite fix. The module would probably do a better job than software on a pi could during transient periods without a fix (due to how accurate the oscillators need to be in a GPS module). So, as long as you can trust the GPS module to exist and be powered, you should be able to reliably clock your display update with it. The only reason really to generate your own PPS would be if you want it to work without a GPS module at all, perhaps by NTP or something; you're then of course again looking at only a millisecond or so of accuracy.
That's smart. I didn't take Physics and now I can travel faster than EM waves in a vacuum.

> Fine but that’s not the parent’s point. You shouldn’t buy from local stores, local restaurants, or small shops because of some notion that you’re sticking it to large companies. You do when, for you, their products and services they offer have better value for you.

That's not correct: the part of the value that you get from buying from local small businesses rather than conglomerates is that you are not buying from a conglomerate, even if the local product could be considered inferior by some measure.

What you call a root flaw (in your previous comment) I see as being neither root nor a flaw, but that is not interesting to me.

If you take a plant out of the ground, and toss it into the sea, the plant dies. The 'root flaw' is that the plant is a vulnerable living being. The more relevant fact is that the plant is better off in the ground.
