To be fair, the phone experience of increasingly more companies is just fucking terrible.

Menus over menus. Trying to get to speak a person that isn’t from India is pretty fucking hard. You usually arrive at a voicemail and don’t know when you will hear from them.

Might as well cut the bullshit and find a straight forward experience online instead.

My reason asking is because there are other scheme I feel are more adequate for non relational data, but this isn’t my domain and I barely dabbled in that, so that’s worth absolutely nothing.

But your point about the data being used later makes a lot of sense and I didn’t think about that. Down the road, someone will ask you to create links to your data and if you already have a DB, then you don’t have to change the whole infrastructure to accommodate that. You can create new schemes and already have a somewhat functional access to it.

Thanks for the input.

Side tracking here : to me, it seems like every DB is relational, no?

What use case would a DB used and not be relational? With my minimal experience in DB, I haven’t seen any other use cases than a relational DB.

They are still fucking traitors. To the streets with them, like the others.

I do understand that the DNC has complete control. We’ve seen many example of that, the most egregious being Bernie vs Clinton.

US society is fundamentally to the right and the DNC will keep it that way.

That creates an issue where changing the Democrat Party will take a long long time. So the better option would be a real left party, but that would mean that Republicans would be in power for a while, until the politcal landscape changes and stabilise with 3 parties. And that’s not accounting for the DNC that will work against the newly formed party.

Denying that the DNC is neo-liberal to its core is deliberate ignorance.

Any prominent member that has an ounce of progressism has to fight the DNC at every corner to get through, like we’ve seen Mamdani.

Meanwhile, progressives should definitely vote for the Democrats. But this is a different issue. The vote turnout is terrible in North America (we have the same problem in Canada).

The DNC is neo-liberal, period. They are center right everywhere in the world.

Both can be true. You’re getting older and lots of products are a solution in search of a problem to solve

Because tech should be boring. Just like politics.

But companies shove tech in our face with fancy bells and whistles to make us buy more.

I mean, just look at PC where RGB is everywhere. I want a silent PC that I don’t see.

I am not in the US. Seeed shipping would kill me

The official Pico, I can only find them at 9$. I am not in the US.

I can find an arduino nano clone for 3$. There are use case for ultra cheap electronics like that.

You can get an arduino clone for a lot cheaper than you can get an rpi clone.

Sometimes, you just need something very simple and a cheap arduino is the right choice.

Arduino is also a lot more user friendly for newcomers.

It’s a shame that Qualcomm will be the end of it.

Arduino has its place for self-taught hobbyists. For a lot of projects, a simple code is more than enough, so there is no point of going into the more advanced mcu like esp32 or stm32.

The issue isn’t the tech itsefl but the corporate world and its effects throughout society.

There is a lot of cool tech, but used for the most asinine products. 2015-2016 was especially terrible with the accessibility of IoT. Everyone and their mother had a Kickstarter with a common everyday item with wireless capability tacked into it.

No, my bottle doesn’t need Bluetooth.

The terms are used because of the narritive forms of a story.

1st person is from the point of view of the character, thus the view from the eyes of the playable character.

3rd person is he/she perspective. You follow the character from the narration of an external narrator. You see the playable character do actions from a perspective that isn’t their own or someone’s else.

2nd person would be from the point of view of a person involved with the character but isn’t it. So you would see the actions of the character through the eyes of an NPC. There was a demo floating around YouTube where a player was shooting zombies, and the camera was from the POV of thr zombies. It made it look pretty weird.

Cleaning other people’s mess is okay for a while. But making a career out of it is too much for me.

I do firmware for embedded systems and every mechanical, electronics or general engineering issue is shoved down in my court because it’s easier for people to take shortcuts in the engineering process and say “we’ll fix it in the firmware” since I can change code 100 times a day.

Slop is the embodiment of that on steroids and it will get old pretty fast.

I don’t want so spend my career un-fucking vibe code.

I want to create something fun and nice. If I wanted to clean other people’s mess, I would be a janitor.

DNS only translate a string address (www.mywebsite.com) to its IP address (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) so that it is easier to remember.

Bots just try a range of address and they don’t need to know your domain name. You could have the most unintelligible domain name in the world, bots would still ping your website because they use direct IP addresses.

Republicans are such pieces of shit. Bunch of fucking hypocrites.

All the fucking terrible things Trump has said and now the line has been crossed? They just try to slowly show that they were against Trump after all but still enabling him and his admin.

I hope they are not forgotten and dragged into the streets like the traitors they are. They made planet earth a worst place to be and they will continue to do so until the day they die.

If the apartment/house layout is good for the roomba, it is a great tool. It doesn’t replace vacuuming and floor washing, but it does reduce the dirtness on the floor.
