There is a second axis between libertarian and autoritarian.

Fear of death is a survival instinct first and foremost I think.

If you don’t care if you die, chance of dying grow. And, as you said, fear of the unknown adds to that.

I don’t believe in the afterlife, but some people have near death experience, some people don’t. Who’s right? We won’t know until it’s our turn to die.

When my son was born, I had 3 months of parental leave.

The first month was spent just recuperating from work and taking care of my first one. After the first month of sleeping better and not having the stress of work, I started esting a lot better and training and lost 50 pounds in 2 months because I had the time and energy to cook well.

Over the last two years, I’ve gained back 30 pounds because my 2 years old doesn’t sleep and my job is stressful.

So I feel what you said.

What about the other side?

Loot box are still a thing, in a big way. Look at CS2 or the yearly soccer games.

And gacha games on mobile are a plague.

Lootbox is the first step, battlepass close second.

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.

Or they used the company to dump debt and erase it.

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.

Liberals are mostly the status quo, and the status quo enables the current climate crisis. Not a hard concept to grasp.

I read eco-fascist as someone that can’t change their habits, so will double down on the destructive habits for the environment, not someone that fights to reduce the impact of climate change through actions against capitalism.

Capitalism has carcinisation for rent. If something stay solvent long enough, it will turn into a rent seeking subscription.

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

My girlfriend gets excited easily while I don’t really do. I feel like its a personality trait like any other.

I have strong feelings, but excitement isn’t one I feel that much. It’s okay and I don’t feel bad anymore about it.

Because happy people don’t talk about why they are happy.

Just like kids. People usually share the hardships unless prompted to share the good memories.

We like to share our struggles and commiserate so that we feel better. When we are happy, we don’t need to do that.

He’s a grifter, of course he will vote for someone that will make grifting easier.

Because the amount of money the general populace has vs the money corpos are putting is very low.

If you can’t even make ends meet, how are you supposed to buy on the stockmarket

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.

Its a self fulfilling disaster. The vast majority of developers learn their skills in a company. Companies don’t want to pay for documentation. So developers don’t learn to properly document.

When I work with a client that doesn’t have a constraining standard for their product, they never ever want to pay for documentation.

When I work with a client that has to work with constraining standards, they want the strict minimum that will get them their cert.

Edit : forgot to add my closing point.

Having a good documentation will make coding a lot more efficient and easy and usually decent.
