Are you also including finding your car in the parking lot and finding a parking spot at your destination? I find a lot of folks neglect that part of the time taken. When in Manhattan, the subway can 100% beat a car over the length of the i

My degree is in literature. (I'm that dev who also writes docs, makes presentations, and serves as tech lead.) I still know that foreign key constraints should be the default. I even often have to remind those with CS and CE degrees th

If I recall correctly, "no foreign keys" hit its stride back in early PHP days when MySQL didn't support them properly. Rather than cop to the fact that MySQL just implemented them badly, MySQL AB went on a dev PR run telling

Personal agency and justice are not provided by cars. To that point, how much agency do you feel you have in standstill bumper to bumper traffic. How much justice do you feel sitting in traffic, focused on the bumper stickers in front of yo

Yes, car-centric land use is horribly inefficient and the core of the problem. You can either throw good money after bad as a matter of public policy, or you can start strategically increasing density. But it's a choice. There are a lo

Places where you don't need a fast charge? Overnight at home. From arrival to lunch at work. After lunch to quitting time. And even those times assume you drive more than 50 miles/day, which most folks don't. What was the pro

Okay, so where you live is classified incorrectly. That's fine. Mass transit doesn't work without the "mass" part, which you clearly don't have. I have no problem at all with your vehicle ownership or your choice of

Yes, there is much work to be done. And it will have to be done to move forward. We've eroded sidewalks and put driveways along major stroads. Parking lots often match or exceed the size of the businesses they serve. We've reache

Sounds like you and your fellow community members should vote for folks who will prioritize public transit rather than widening stroads. Poor transit options are a policy choice, not an inevitability. The best time to start advocating for l

And all because of our over reliance on cars in urban and suburban environments. Mass transit basically eliminates the need for moving violations, traffic citations, parking problems, cameras, and police stops. No more need for stroads, tol

See earlier note about the public not accepting autonomous vehicles while they make errors humans consider nonsensical. The actual aggregated stats don't matter. The logic doesn't matter. All that matters is the video of a self-dr

This feels like a straw man to me. If someone who works in construction, works a ranch, tows a livestock trailer, manages a farm, etc. wants an F-150 or F-250 or whatever, I don't think the vast majority of us will even question that d

About ten years ago I made a prediction: Self-driving technology will overtake average human ability with regard to safety within a decade, but the biggest hurdle will be public acceptance. The AI will not make the same kind of mistakes hum

LSD and psilocybin both have well-documented pain suppression effects. It is well known among the older ones out there who have taken these. Just ask any 60s/70s hippy. Pain relief would be an obvious application for these drugs from t

Yes, the implementation distinguishes between a replication client and a user/app client specifically to prevent multiple query invocations. Network latency and CAP tradeoffs still apply of course, but you can absolutely scale well bey

Yep, because unlike general purpose programming languages, you describe WHAT data you want from SQL, not HOW to get that data as in most application languages.

by ttfkam 3y ago
SQL is the semantic layer on top of relational algebra. Adding another layer on top is like having Google translate from Spanish to Russian before translating back to English. Each level of indirection just opens the door for more nonsens

Data structures can be a hard part of programming. That doesn't mean folks don't chose the wrong data structures all the time in any language. An array instead of a linked list or vice versa. A dequeue instead of a set or vice ver

Mediocre coders fixate on algorithms. Great coders concentrate on data structures. SQL schema creation and maintenance is all about choosing the right data structures for the job at hand. If you neglect attention to your data structures, no

Testing SQL is pretty popular in most pro-SQL environments as well. There are many tools for that even if many developers appear to remain willfully ignorant of them.

It's not like tracking events in application logic is somehow just a bucket of unicorn farts and rainbows. At least triggers are deterministic and tracked within transactions. Can't tell you how often folks update the DB with an O

You can write code in any language without defining functions or modularizing in any way. You can write bad code in any language. For some reason, folks assume SQL must be written badly since they have only written it badly or seen it writt

Of all the people qualified for the role, it's only coincidental the CEO's son is the best fit overall. Nepotism has no role in Musk's strict corporate meritocracy, right?
