Perhaps they figured there are more important priorities for a US President than looking good?

Oh I'm pretty sure that will be the next step, given the direction we're moving in and the lack of common sense and responsibility on display. I see GenAI as a stop gap solution at best, not really optimal for any problems; and AG

Gwern said something along the lines of: If you don't leave marks in the online world, you're invisible to AI. I have no idea what that's going to mean moving forward, but it makes sense to me.

Whatever respect I had left for MongoDB just went out the window, the last thing I want in my database is AI.

Basically every MongoDB I've come across; same story, different faces.

If learning SQL is hard, maybe software isn't the best choice of career. Writing code and creating good software requires a lot of mental clarity and effort; that fact is never going to change, not even with AI.

It's still an unstructured blob of JSON, systems built with it are a major pita to maintain.

Now there's a truth about MongoDB, it's easy to get started with. But why is that the top priority?
729.
by codr7 2y ago
Calling MongoDB a real database compared to PostgreSQL is hilarious. MongDB is basically a pile of JSON in comparison, no matter how much you distribute and scale it.

There are plenty of standard libraries out there that leave a lot to wish for. Sometimes I'm writing my own language, trying to figure something else out and don't feel like being sidetracked. Sometimes predictable performance is

It's pretty obvious to me that this is all about profits and public image, it's not like they suddenly started to give a damn about other people.

So just because it's better than nothing we should consider it good enough?

BubbleSort keeps going until no more swaps happen, this algorithm specifies up front which items to compare. I actually think it's pretty cool, it happens occasionally that I just need a quick and dirty sort and this is easier to get r

Pretending a pile of json is a database is great for pivoting, not so great for anything else. Maintaining apps built on MongoDB is soul killing.

Makes the REPL feel a lot more alive and interactive, much like a SmallTalk IDE.

They usually (I hope) add a control layer on before slapping a view on though, at least it's possible.

by codr7 2y ago
Not having even the shadow of a control layer in your app is bound to come back and bite you imo.

Thank you, I'm very pleased with that detail :)

The opinions on data and programming in general-wall. Not bad ideas, just not the kind I like shoved down my throat.

The point is there is no difference except spelling.

I would suspect those tools are made out of metals of very different composition though.

And then it's pretty much game over.

And this is the kind of technology we use to decide if someone should get a loan, or if something is a human about to be run over by a car. I think I'm going to simply climb up a tree and wait this one out. What if it invented a new ki

I honestly have no idea what kind of developers are getting jobs in the current market. I have plenty of experience, but it's just not going to happen right now without miracles.

Perhaps defining the language in lambda calculus and generating a more realistic implementation from that could work...

Except when performing for men (?), or so I've heard :) Doesn't appeal to me either, btw; I spend enough time glued to computers. Can't see it doing much to cure loneliness; but who knows, people in general seem to get a lot

Tried to love Clojure, but found it to opinionated as a daily driver for me. Sometimes I just need to get some code running to see a result, which is my main use case for Lisp. I used to default to Common Lisp, but it needs a lot of scaffol

The condition framework/break loop is one thing I wish more Lisps would copy.

I would say my brain is anything but rigid, more fluid than most people I've met.
