Yes a graph database will happily lead you down a n^3 (or worse!) path when trying to query for a single relation if you are not wise about your indexes, etc.

That sounds like a ”graph” DB which implements edges as separate tables, like building a graph in a standard SQL RDB.

If you wish to avoid that particular caveat, look for a graph DB which materializes edges within vertices/nodes. The obvious caveat there is that the edges are not normalized, which may or may not be an issue for your particulat application.

Are you talking about the query plan for scanning the rel table? Kuzu used a hash index and a join.

Trying to make it optional.

Try

explain match (a)-[b]->(c) return a.rowid, b.rowid, c.rowid;

I surprisingly found this with my Apple Watch. was so concerned it would make me even more plugged in. But in reality now 90% of the time I get a junk email I just say “huh” instead of needing to open the phone to see what it is (and the other 15 notifications). Can’t have fomo if you know you’re not missing out, amirite?

That's still quite insane. I get a lot of email daily but notifications onto about priority / important ones.

Which is about 1-2 per _week_.

Americans individually are probably the most optimistic people in the world. The optimism might be myopically fixed on getting a promotion or winning the lottery or breaking the plate spinning world record. But if you don’t have some big project or self improvement scheme then many people (and most traditionally successful people) will give you a wide berth. People without big dreams might as well have already kicked the bucket.

Regardless of the government this culture is infectious. I think of Nikes famous tagline “Just do it” probably describes America better than any anthem or crusty document.

The strategists are hopefully not relying on voluntary journalism for their decision making

This is a little tangential, but that's fascinating phrasing -- has me trying to imagine what involuntary journalism looks like.

Well Stars and Stripes is going to become a great example

It’s funny in tech it’s generally understood that that attention economy apps are in competition even though they ostensibly are not direct competitors. But when it comes to entertainment (the original attention economy) we don’t think of it in the same way.

In the future users will write the tests

At least we know this wasn’t written by AI

It’s true. In the long arc of history I have no doubt that our current government systems will be considered childish

The higher up you are in a company the more of “yourself” you have to give as realistically many more people are relying on your job results than they are on your personal wellbeing.

It definitely takes a certain kind of person to be a good fit in that role

The fact that they are PMs is a tragedy of circumstance, not a moral failing. If they are willing to go on-call for their work they will lose that childlike innocence and become engineers very quickly.

> they will lose that childlike innocence and become engineers very quickly.

I don't think so. Not everyone has an engineer mindset (or a PM mindset, for that matter). There's a reason these people ended up where they ended up.
