  • They probably do use lots of NoSQL DBs too, which perform better for non relational “data lake” style architectures where you just wanna dump mountains of data as fast as possible into storage, to be perused later.

    When you have cases where you have very very high volume of data in, but very low need to query it (but some potential need, just very low), nosql DBs excel

    Stuff like census data where you just gotta legally store it for historical reasons, and very rarely some person will wanna query it for a study or something.

    Keep in mind when I talk about low need to query, the opposite high need us on the scale of like, "this db gets queried multiple times per minute’

    Stuff like… logins to a website, data that gets queried many times per minute or even second, then sometimes nosql DBs fall off.

    Depends what is queried.

    Super basic “lookup by ID” Stuff that operates as just a big ole KeyValuePair mapping ID -> Value? And thats all you gotta query?

    NoSql is still the right tool for the job.

    The moment any kind of JOIN enters the discussion though, chances are you actually wanna use sql now


  • Terrible idea, that new country would instantly realize how awful it is needing to negotiate for oil when you have zero local sources of it.

    The US has Texas, and Canada has Alberta.

    You do not wanna form any kind of new pseudo country that doesn’t have oil in 2025, you will have some serious issues within a couple years.

    The only people that talk about any states or provinces separating are the people too ignorant of just how deeply they are dependent on all the rest of their country’s exports, imports, and production.

    Yes, even backwater places have an absolute fuck tonne of stuff they produce that you depend on every Just because you might think mineral mines, farms, oil, steel factories, forestry, etc etc isnt of major value, it is and you literally depend on it daily

    You cant break out from that, but too many people have become too deeply dumb to grok how fucked their life would become if their specific state/province seperated.

    You’re cost of living would fucking skyrocket to levels you cant even imagine. So much random shit you currently take for granted still being affordable would vaporize as you suddenly realize “Oh yeah I guess we dont make that here locally do we, where does that come from? Shit it comes from there? I never knew they made this stuff, I use it every day! Now I cant have it at all? I can still, it just costs a lot more and is imported? Well how much does it cost? (spit take) IT COSTS HOW MUCH NOW?!?!”



  • If it’s not too too heavy, I’m not opposed.

    Bigger screen will make touchscreen typing on a keyboard less of a PITA

    Some games require rarely typing into the on screen keyboard, and as much as I like my ROG Ally, the small screen makes the onscreen keyboard a real pain to type on

    Honestly what I’d like is a secondary N64 style center back handle that I can hold with 1 hand while I type with the other, to make the typing way more stable.

    Awkwardly holding it out on the left side way off center fulcrums it as I type, which makes it less stable. You need some genuine wrist strength to fight against that lever action while typing.

    So, instead, I usually awkwardly rest it in my lap while I try and type so it’s stable at least. But this moves the screen a lot farther away so now I gotta squint at the small ass letters as I aim and type. Makes me feel like a goddamn boomer having to adjust my glasses and squint at the screen.

    So… yeah I dunno, I feel like this is something that could use a better solution.

    I guess I could use my Tap XR… 🤔


  • Fundamentally good CEOs expect a wage based on the market.

    There’s tonnes of high paying positions so, no, non profits truly will struggle to find an actually good CEO if they dont offer a competitive wage.

    It’s not their fault, it’s the lack of regulation on all the for-profits and the fact they can funnel so much money up to CEOs unchecked.

    If for-profits had regulatory checks that made them do that less, then non-profits wouldn’t have to compete with nearly as insanely high wages.

    IE if there was a law that CEOs couldn’t be paid more than 10x their lowest paid worker, this problem would be a lot less insane.



  • You do know some jobs can’t be done remote right?

    It’s possible the two people are the two with jobs that require some potential in person intervention (IT being the main case)

    If something physically fails, you can’t exactly fix that remotely.

    The fact only 2 people remained says to me they prolly had that sort of job, or, some people genuinely prefer working in the office.

    Sounds crazy but some people don’t have a comfortable set up at home and find it easier to focus in the office. I’ve had data where construction was right outside my window at home so yeah, I went into work to have some quiet.

    Most of the time I prefer WFH, for sure.

    But to pretend that literally everyone can always wfh, and always wants to, is silly and you’ve gone too far off the other end.

    And the statement at the top implies the two people chose not to take PTO anyways. Maybe they wanted to save their PTO for christmas/new years.

    Stop being so judgy lol

    I use Hugo, it’s not super complicated.

    You basically just define templates in pseudo html for common content (header, nav panel, footer, etc), and then you write your articles in markdown and Hugo combines the two and outputs actual html files.

    You also have a content folder for js, css, and images which get output as is.

    That’s about all there is to it, it’s a pretty minimalist static site generator.

    Hosting wise you can just put it on github pages for free.





  • Why is it that blatantly lying about your political opponent and actively spreading clear disinformation that is easily reputable isn’t penalized?

    And I don’t want like “cuz capitalism” zero effort responses, I’m wanting to know from an actual legal complexity standpoint what would go wrong if this was made illegal.

    The fact it’s so clearly provably as a false claim by countless directions, it should be an open and shut “you spread obvious disinformation” and at least a notable slap on the wrist should occur each time.

    Why can a candidate just go and openly lie and say whatever without penalty, legally? Shouldn’t this be under something like Libel, defamation, etc?

    Shouldn’t Kamala’s crew be able to take Trump to court right now for defamation?


  • Might wanna read it again, it’s right there :)

    The best architectures, requirements, and designs emerge from self-organizing teams.

    It’s an incredibly critical part companies love to completely ignore.

    If you assign devs to teams and lock em down, you’ve violated a core principle

    And it’s a key role in being able to achieve these two:

    Agile processes promote sustainable development.

    And

    The sponsors, developers, and users should be able to maintain a constant pace indefinitely.

    This is talked about at length by the likes of Fowler, who talk about how locking devs down us a super fast way to kill sustainable development. It burns devs out fast as hell.

    Note that it’s careful not to say on the same project


  • That’s actually a pretty important part of its original premise.

    It’s a big part of why scrum meetings were a thing, as the expectation was any curious dev could just join in to see what’s up, if they like.

    Not tying devs down to 1 specific thing is like the cornerstone of agile, and over many years of marketing and corporate bastardization, everyone had completely forgotten that was literally the point.

    The whole point of the process was to address 2 things:

    1. That client requirements can’t easily be 100% covered day one (But you still need to get as many as you can!)

    2. To avoid silo’ing and tying devs down to specific things, and running into the one bus rule (“how fucked would this project be if <dev> got hit by a bus?”)

    And the prime solution posited is to approach your internal projects the same way open source works. Keep it open and available to the whole company, any dev can check it out, chime in if they’re familiar with a challenge, etc.

    One big issue often noted in non-agile companies (aka almost all of them) is that a dev slent ages hacking away at an issue with little success, only to find out far too late someone else in the company already has solved that one before.

    An actually agile approach should be way more open and free range. Devs should be constantly encouraged to cross pollinate info, tips, help each other, post about their issues, etc. There should be first class supported communication channels for asking for help and tips company wide.

    If your company doesn’t even have a “ask for help on (common topic)” channel for peeps to imfoshare, you are soooooooo far away from being agile yet.
