I'm in a similar position at work. I've just decided that what they are asking for is unreasonable, so I just pick whatever I feel is the actual most important thing and work on that during the normal work day. If the company's goals aren't being met, then they need to figure out their actual (realistic) priorities or hire the appropriate number of people to do the work. So far my boss hasn't said anything to me about not doing enough, and from things I've heard him say to others, he wouldn't be shy about it if there was an issue.

I'm also looking to pay down debt (just the mortgage left) as fast as possible so I can feel more comfortable moving to a new job, even if it means less money. I'm giving up some nice-to-haves now so I can have them later without the weight of payments on my shoulders. Having a lower cost of living will allow me to make different decisions on how and where I work. If I do choose to stay at my current job, I suspect I'll feel less trapped in it. I would guess the same would be true for you.

>prioritizing. everything feels so important yet at the end of the day it just feels like I'm spinning my wheels without making much progress on anything

If everything is important, nothing is important. Figuring out your actual priority is key. Then you can actually finish stuff. A lot of people, management especially, love to see progress on everything at once. In reality you will often finish your 3rd priority faster if you don't start on it at all until priority 1 and 2 are finished. I really like this graph to show the cost of context switching when trying to work on everything at once.

Something like the Eisenhower Matrix might be good to help you prioritize things and figure out what to delegate, what to do yourself, and what to drop completely. I find that 80% of what I'm asked to do ends up not mattering at all after 6 months or so.
Public housing can be made properly like in Vienna. You have to build a lot, build nice, and worry about having many different socio-economical tenants in the apartments, though.

And be ready to kick trashy people of course.

IMO public housing is the best tool, but it seems that in many places they just want to set up some buildings and forget about it, and that way it will never work.

It seems like for many people it's just a naive idea of getting problematic people out of the streets, but that shouldn't be the main idea. The main idea is to get the most modal income people out of the offer/demand cut, so they can save more money and use their increased disposable income locally.

If you build enough and make private developments easy enough everyone benefits.

In fact, Vienna is starting to have problems because their conservative government (I think they have a coalition now) doesn't want to spend money on the program and private developments have a set of restrictions that allow price gauging.
About a decade ago I worked for an insurance company. It was an offshoot that was spun out of of another insurance company from another state, which itself was decades old. As best as I could infer from my vantage point, my expertise at the time, and the spare time I was willing to investigate the matter, the database schema and a good chunk of the core data tables were first created in the late-80s on a mainframe and had outlived 4 or 5 application rewrites and (at least) two SQL variant migrations. I'm hand-waving exact details because nobody from the original company or that time period was still around even prior to the corporate split and so there was nobody who could answer history questions in detail, but that's also a testament to how persistent data can be. There was one developer from the parent company they slapped with golden handcuffs who knew where most of the bodies were hid in that software stack that enabled decent productivity but even she was lacking a solid 15 years of first-hand experience of its inception. To the best of my knowledge that database is still in use today.

Databases in heavy use will not just outlast your application, they have a strong chance of outlasting your career and they very well may outlast you as a person.

> You don't actually address the point.

You said that B-Trees "use in indexing has dwindled with time". This is demonstrably false.

> Back then I used them ubiquitously but I honestly don't remember the last time I've seen one in a new design.

Even if that was true (which it definitely isn't), why would anybody judge the commercial or scientific relevance of B-Trees by looking at what new systems do? There are very few new systems that are intended to be competitive as general purpose systems, which is where most of the market is.

You still haven't actually named a single example of a "modern database kernel" that exemplifies what you're talking about.
I feel like even if 100% of the uninsured took on debt, that would mean 60% of the insured aren't getting it covered enough to avoid taking on debt, which is pretty wild.

Great point, we'll add that.

I don't think we do joins that much better than SQL does. We're thinking whether there's potential there, maybe through understanding foreign keys — but we're being conservative about introducing change without value.

You don't need to subsidize anything. I mean sure, you pay for those ridiculous salaries of all people involved in pharma, insurance, all lobbyists and snake salesmen who push/bribe doctors for over-prescriptions and obviously shareholders. Out of those, doctors are the only ones deserving high salaries, mostly. But they shouldn't come from such a bad incentive.

"What do you think should happen if there are multiple foreign keys connecting the two tables? Should this also work for many-to-many relations with an intermediate table?"

If it's not ambiguous, then let me do it. If I rely on ambiguity then throw an exception. In the case of multiple foreign keys, throw an exception, as there's no way to know which one I mean. It'd be nice if I could disambiguate the situation though. Normal SQL allows the `on` clause.

from TableA
inner join TableB on <expression>

What if I could specify a foreign key constraint just as easily...

from TableA
inner join TableB by ConstraintC

Where ConstraintC is the name of a foreign key constraint between Table A and Table B. It'd be nice to specify the constraint without having to specify the column name details.

The same goes for the many to many relationship with an intermediate table. It could look something like this...

from TableA
inner join TableB through TableC

I wouldn't introduce TableC into the scope of the statement. It's not in the FROM clause. It's used in the query but is not available for selecting from. If you want to bring in columns from it, join on it the usual way.

As applications grow, and initially simple lookup table semantics get more nuanced, it might be nice to be able to constrain the join on the lookup table like this...

from TableA
inner join TableB through TableC where <expression>

That way if my TableC has some extra columns, such as effective dates, or deleted flags, or that sort of thing, then I can filter out some of the joins that might usually happen.

I'd agree if the assumption was that support was a situation commonly caused by user error - i.e. essentially paying for lack of user education on the system.

But for situations that should be extremely rare, are extremely high impact, and (apparently) are not caused by user error, such as dropping user data because of some AI 'algorithm', there's no reason at all that that cost can't be amortized across the low-paying customer base. Most every other industry has some form of support cost amortization built into its pricing scheme. This is something Google should be able to handle, too.

Guy Debord wrote about this thoroughly in The Society of the Spectacle (1967)

And Johnny Rotten: “Ever Get the Feeling You've Been Cheated?”

J.G, Ballard talked about it a lot. See his interviews in Extreme Metaphors, rather than his novels.

“I feel that the 1960s represent a marked turning point. For the first time, with the end of the Cold War, I suppose, for the first time the outside world, so-called reality, is now almost completely a fiction. It’s a media landscape, if you like. It’s almost completely dominated by advertising, TV, mass-merchandising, politics conducted as advertising. People’s lives, even their individual private lives, are getting more and more controlled by what I call fiction. By fiction I mean anything invented for imaginative purposes. For example, you don’t buy an airline ticket, you don’t just buy transportation, let’s say, to the south of France or Spain. What you buy is the image of a particular airline, the kind of miniskirts the hostesses are wearing on that airline. In fact, airlines in America are selling themselves on this sort of thing.

"Also the sort of homes people buy for themselves, the way they furnish their houses, even the way they talk, the friends they have, everything is becoming fictionalised. Therefore, given that reality is now a fiction, it’s not necessary for the writer to invent the fiction. The writer’s relationship with reality is completely the other way around. It’s the writer’s job to find the reality, to invent the reality, not to invent the fiction. The fiction is already there. The greatest fictional characters of the twentieth century are people like the Kennedys. They’re a twentieth-century House of Atreus.”

Considering that 90% of the people with diabetes have type 2, which is 100% preventable, perhaps we should focus on diet and lifestyle instead of asinine political debates about the cost of insulin. I do however, feel very badly for the poor people with 10% with type 1 though, they are getting shafted.
That's a big part of the problem. Price gouging combined with a legislative monopoly, paid for by "contributions" to legislators.

Legislators with health industry contacts are the only healthcare users in the US whose effective copays are negative.

This survey seems flawed. It’s a survey of 1,000 insured and 1,000 uninsured, but the rate of insured in the US is closer to 90-95%. The uninsured use cheap generics and manufacturer’s discount cards. There doesn’t seem to be a control for the type of insurance. Typical copay for insulin are in the range of $10-50/mo.

80% credit card use sounds like American consumer finance behavior across the board, whether to defer payment or earn points. Accumulating an average debt of $9,000 solely from insulin would be difficult to accomplish given the high insurance rate, and difficult to separate from other debt and report (plus there appears not to be a control for personal finance ability and circumstance.)

There are serious initiatives and legislation to provide cheap, high quality generic insulin and monitoring tools, that don’t need help from counterproductive, bad statistics.

I would think it is fairly common knowledge that insulin is rather expensive in the US, and while the sample size is small, anecdotal evidence from my experience in health IT and working with social determinants of health seems to indicate that debt with diabetes is fairly common.

I don't think it is a stretch to assume that these high medical costs, specifically insulin are forcing patients into debt.
That is far from the only concern. For me, the biggest consideration is trust. With such a small maintainer base, you are placing a large amount of trust in their team. There would be huge motivation in creating a privacy-focused browser that secretly slurps data and/or monitors users somehow[1]. Using a project like this would require me trusting a small-handful of people I don't know at all, and aren't represented by an entity I somewhat inherently trust (Mozilla).

I can't say my logic is without holes, for example I don't do much to verify my trust in Mozilla, but you have to make generalizations in this field or you would never get anything done.

IMO it's not the regulation that is the problem...it's the entire healthcare system we have in the US.

Only once have I worked on a project where a document database did not completely gimp our ability to deliver the data that was required of us, and that was only because that data was regularly cloned to a relational database we could use for asynchronous tasks. As a project grows, I have, without fail, come to find that you need relations to efficiently deliver the data that new requirements demand.

>I think there needs to be a lot more nuance with the word "deregulate" because there are many regulations and some should be gotten rid of and some shouldn't.

I think that's the core issue with most of our political dialog. "Regulations are bad." The person saying it is thinking A, B, and C and is probably right. The person hearing it is thinking D, E, and F and is also probably right. They aren't even talking about the same thing. It's no wonder they can't come to common ground.

"Socialism is bad," and "Don't touch my social security," can be uttered by the same individual because when he thinks about socialism he thinks Castro nationalizing all US industry in Cuba, not Social Security Insurance, Medicare and Medicaid.

Complementary to other answers, I would suggest introducing this technique: https://dev.to/allthecode/moscow-the-best-code-review-techni... However, share this w/ the reviewee first!

I know some devs that are anxious if they don't fix _every_ single comment in their PR, even if I'm just suggesting something as "nice to have".
This helped to mark which comments are actual priority.

Also, make sure you're using code formatter in your CI, to avoid reviewing the code style, as this can start some unnecessary wars and frustration.

Also, I suggest sharing this article https://mtlynch.io/code-review-love/ with your colleagues, especially step 8:

> As the author, you ultimately control your reaction to feedback. Treat your reviewer’s notes as an objective discussion about the code, not your personal worth as a human.

To some degree, as a reviewer you can keep your tone friendly, but ultimately _every_ sentence can be took as personal attack, and you can't really do anything about that. Keep that in mind, don't focus _too much_ on the tone, and don't let that prevent you from giving a comprehensive review.

One other thing I personally do, because I'm famous for giving _really_ thorough reviews, is to make sure from time to time that the other person is fine w/ that. Simple DM "I hope you don't feel too overwhelmed by my CR?" helps, especially that often people respond that they actually approve I'm so thorough. If you worry people get offended, it is easy way to make sure if these worries are valid or not.
