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.

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

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.

I fucking hate this phrase. You have the choice to not participate and be a normal human instead of a sociopath.

Hate the players because they perpetuate the game.

It’s because there is no such thing as optimisation anymore. Websites are bloated to the gills with terrible animations and tracking scripts.

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.

Having the capabilities to take on debt helps to garner investments.

You can do a joint venture, take on a bit of debt but get more money of it.

And we’ve seen many mega corpos finance their venture throught debt (see Uber business model).

So I’d say that it was true in the past, but corpos are getting bolder.

The point is that major shareholder will try to hide insider knowledge to sell their stock before a big crash.

They pump the stock value as much as possible and sell it before it crashes. They make a shit ton of money and some suckers are left holding the bag.

Because higher stock value means more collateral for debt.

You’d be surprised on how much debt is used in even small companies.

There was a meme going around a month or so ago of 5 AI companies jerking off, representing the circular financing that this article talks about.

From the moment these “investments” were announced, people were already raising flags about circular investments.

I don’t know man, we gotta start somewhere

To make machines that you can have sex with.

They keep the lie alive to appease the stocks market happy.

And he didn’t specify how shitty the complex tasks will be done.

I understand that there is always a fall guy. Even before AI was shoved everywhere, those really responsible for the problems they created were not held accountable and put the blame on a fall guy.
