How does columnar = json? json isn't colunar at all... If you just want to have a schema in json instead of sql, use a no-sql db, postgres nosql features are strong, but the db features are actually much stronger.

It still makes me sad when half the queries I see are json_* - I know its far too late, but a big sad trombone in query performance is constantly left joining to planner queries that are going to give you 100 rows as an estimate forever.

Of course, but many of the interviewers are looking for you to be a fresh faced young pup whose had nothing but love and kisses from every previous position, hell I had my new job ask if they could call my last boss and talk with them in an

Well you are insanely lucky, its the default in most startups and many companies that I have seen consulting, working directly with, or otherwise. Leadership has no strategy, the business is growing or shrinking regardless of their decision

Yes, and toxic positivity obliterates morale - being unable to acknowledge the negative outcomes of decisions means that you are just working towards some idiot's dream until you go play the roulette wheel again to figure out what the

Honestly, this is the most toxic thing about job interviews for me - "hey can we do the thing where you pretend you didn't have a string of shitty jobs for 5 years? because obviously you were at fault if they were shitty." Mo

You should prioritize your mental health, but what the article is saying is that you actually need to GET AWAY from that type of situation, and the most likely route is using a chain of other people's hands to pull you out of the situa

Do you know that sealioning on the 1000th ridiculously bad cut is just in bad faith right? At this point we don't actually need to spend time proving how the Trump administration is doing a wrong thing actually, it can be inferred from

I don't even consider what the user asks - simply that it was rejected and it was a question they wanted to ask - hence "whatever they wanted", and while I agree SO's moderation is overly burdensome (and was a mod myself

The core problem of SO was the the goal of it (and what made it great) is very much in tension with "I want to ask whatever questions I want." The original idea of SO was building a knowledge repository, and that meant no duplicat

Civil courts work by you proving damages (at least in the USA), not by you going on fishing expeditions because they "might" have done something. So good luck finding the thing that looks exactly like your copyrighted work that&#x

Yep, I stopped listening in the run up to the 2016 election as they made clear they were going to make space for both siding misinformation, lies, and the emotions of those who were fully bought into the propaganda machine. I find it a shel

I by default block JS on the web and only allow it for domains I accept. It's a tiny bit of work for a whole lot of safety.

I think its ok if you have a traditional server approach, but in the cloud this is a really great way to make yourself pay a lot for a little. Most systems have a minimum amount of traffic they'll let you pay for, most object stores ar

The truth is that if you are modeling a relationship set of 1000 tables you probably cant usefully show that to someone - you can produce an image but nobody can likely use it. Instead, consider breaking things down to functional areas and

Nobody is obligated to do this, its just that they say they are so they can extract the most amount of money from any situation and blame some vague principal. Plenty of companies leave money on the table because its terrible for everyone.
