I agree completely. When I first heard about NoSQL I thought some databases were finally introducing some replacement for abominable SQL. But no, they were just creating schemaless databases.

Comparing artists that could make record sales earlier to all current streaming artists is comparing apples to oranges. I agree that Spotify's revenue split is not perfect (it is in fact worse than what you described), but it is still

When considering revenue of 1999 as 100% CD sale and 2021 as 100% streaming we got something like (in inflation adjusted $bn). (1999) 40% of 23.7 = 9.48 (2021) 70% of 14.9 = 10.43 So while gaming got much more popular during that time, musi

That is not Spotify's fault. It is a deal made by artists that splits revenue between them and producer, record label etc. 70% of Spotify's revenue is to be split that way compared to ~40% of revenue of CD sales.

70% percent of Spotify revenue goes to the artists (content owners to be precise), I doubt that was the case when you bought a CD (I have found numbers closer to 40%). It is not abysmal, revenue never seemed to be better.

It is quite slow compared to other cities with metro I visited. I think mainly due to too many stops. On some parts I got impression than metro platforms take more than 30% of the line fragment which is ridiculous.

In most programming languages JS style APIs (i.e. give me anything and I will try to interpret it somehow in an undocumented or poorly documented way) are antipatterns. TS is often bringing sanity to libraries that switch from JS to TS. I t

If static method behaves like a function I see very little reason for mocking. Do people mock also calls to complex constructors (which are too static methods)? I think some people put unit testing to the extreme by not wanting to test logi

They are hard to test only if they are not functions and access some global mutable state. In vast majority of cases static methods are functions and are easier to test than normal methods, because you do not need to initialize object.

45% stat you linked seems like a proof for that claim. Violent crimes are rarer and much more investigated than non violent. Also it is 45% of reported violent crimes. So I would bet even majority of violent crimes is unsolved.

It makes lots of queries (like find duplicate queries) much more complex without any benefit. Also it introduces completely unnecessary three value logic in SQL.

The biggest failure of SQL joins is not using declared foreign keys. For example it should be something like "JOIN USING fk_invoice_customer c" instead of repeating each time the relationship between invoice and customer entries a
