China: We are going to shut down the world economy to save our citizens in Wuhan
Italy: We are going to quarantine 16 million people to save our citizens
US: You can't have a pandemic if you don't test for it, lol.
why nosql is popular: when relational databases first came out, pretty much only the smartest of the smart were allowed to touch them. Now they are ubiquitous & pretty much only the interns are deciding if we should use foreign keys or primary keys. Hence the rise of nosql
These new nosql databases are exotic enough that pretty much only the smartest of the smart are touching them. And so we will have a cycle of going back and forth between the tho architectures.

It's FRIDAY! So after a long day of coding the incomprehensible, what does that mean? Yes! More coding because I'm not going to understand this on Monday.

RDS has the exact same pricing trick. If you take the default days of backups, very rapidly you start running a huge backup bill that you didn't see on the 1st day or 1st month of your RDS's instance's life. https://x.com/kendallmiller/status/1235971521266552833
Guest on NPR says >80% of people could stand to save money with mortgage refinance...so I check & I got 3.5%. No one is offering 3.5% on refinance, except on the 15 year. Who has been sitting on high rate mortgage for so long?
Would you rather fight
I for one welcome my new coronavirus overlords. https://twitter.com/pwthornton/status/1235750558461497345
There is so much news that the stock market dropping 3.5% in 1 day is having a hard time staying on page 1.
If you had my face, you'd want to touch it too.

Frankly, I'm more overwhelmed by my bad ideas: https://x.com/search?f=tweets&vertical=default&q=IDEA%20%40mistersql&src=typd https://x.com/mikehking/status/1235631639197343744
People wearing flu mask scare me, so illegal by DC law:
"No person...while wearing any mask,...may be on a public way
"With the intent to cause another person to fear.."
https://code.dccouncil.us/dc/council/code/sections/22-3312.03.html
(yeah, the intent is to make wearing a mask while committing a crime illegal)

So the responsible geek thing to do is to wear a Kylo Ren voice changing mask to work, but in some jurisdictions it is against the law to be in public in a mask. Which makes me wonder-- how much can a flu mask cover your face before you run foul of mask laws?

That is a sprint or a sprint & a half & half of the team will go into negative leave. It if takes out a specialist or two or three on your team, this will be like a month of zip getting done
Why did the python developer run `pip uninstall nose` -- he wanted to spite his face.
Actually it was because nose suddenly stopped detecting 80% of my tests and pytest could. nose hasn't released anything new since 2015

The mild form of the novel coronavirus is called the novella coronavirus.
fwiw, the experts say 'don't cut interest rates for a supply shock' like epidemics interrupting trade routes. The slide will continue 'cause we don't have inexplicably idle capacity, we have capacity idle because the ships aren't coming from China

I want Warren to win but Biden would (probably) fully fund Amtrak.
Warren on the other hand can literally sprint to catch a train, but from my quick search, didn't say anything specific about funding trains. https://x.com/mistersql/status/1234885859440283650/photo/1
So much work gets done on the last day of a sprint. I know, instead of 2 or 3 week sprints, we'll switch to 1 day sprints.

One million people getting tests at $1500-$2500 a pop, no one is going to show up to be tested. I won't be testing for those prices. How much are you *willing* to pay?
