I feel like the later one would end up at Google HQ. Visually, something like this:

Watch people spend unlimited time and money to fix problems? Sure, why not watch that? Who will fund the creation of the episodes? 🙂

Amazon, they fund a lot of shows, whats one more!

I suspect the advertising revenue for the show you describe will be far lower than most big-budget shows 🙂

I do the same thing! I also only append to notes, sometimes questions that become irrelevant at one stage of the design become relevant again at a later stage, and saving your answers to them saves you having to figure them out again

I tend to think of such things as a Bayesian DAG. I wish there were a good (open) collaborative tool for building them.

It comes at it from the opposite perspective, but there is some content like that in https://pragprog.com/titles/bksqla/sql-antipatterns/ discussing when the various anti patterns might actually be appropriate.

Not a book, but my all-time favorite resource has been CMU’s Database Systems course on youtube, taught by Andy Pavlo. I watched the 2019 fall videos and they were great. Databases change so quickly that a lot of older materials tend to start with incorrect constraints (hdd drives as an example). Andy’s course is more up to date, and does go deep. (Note: realized you may be looking for data modeling, not how dbs work under the hood. Feel free to ignore this message xD)

Designing Data Intensive Applications is a great book about databases and distributed systems in general. It doesn't go into details (afaik) about relational modeling but it describes a lot of foundational concepts and techniques and also gives an overview of various data modeling approaches (relational, document, graph) in Chapter 2. There's also this old book called Data & Reality which is very popular and (probably - I only read a small portion of it) great. Finally, a good book about SQL databases is The Art of SQL.

I enjoyed (parts of) https://www.amazon.com/Database-Systems-Complete-Book-2nd/dp/0131873253/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1C4YBVD92H6OF&keywords=databases+ullman&qid=1669795232&sprefix=databases+ullma%2Caps%2C205&sr=8-1 as a student. Not sure I'd call the book practical

my 2c... garcia-molena, ullman, and widom's text (database systems) is a very nice book, but may not offer too much in the way of practical advice for RDBMS normalization, theoretical yes, but not so much practical. On the other hand, the authors' insights into, and theoretical comparisons among Relational, Object DB's, Semistructured DB's, etc. is really solid and may guide you to some insights to comparing EAV's with RDB's.

Thanks for suggestions, everyone! Good Xmas list of books for me.

I think @U1BQCSP88 is doing things along those lines: https://github.com/ut-proj/undertone

Making music with lisp and programming I mean

There is an apocryphal story of someone visiting the chrome team at Google and noting they all used the old html only version of gmail

I was trying out google pixel phones yesterday and on top of not having a 3.5mm jack they all don't show home and task switcher buttons. The back button is actually pretty alright as I have to swipe from the side of the screen. But if I want to switch to another app (a.k.a. alt-tab) then I have to fiddle with bottom bar to somehow open that app menu. I couldn't get how it works in one minute of fiddling. in 10 seconds he shows what I mean: https://youtu.be/Hv4F9iZdhNQ?t=7

I agree with you @U45T93RA6 - it's almost as if those big corps have nothing better to do and need to keep their designers occupied with some made up requirements and imo breaking changes.

I hate Google updates with all my might. Every new android they decide to fix something that wasn't broken, breaking it in the process. My newest Android basically doesn't allow me to change keyboards, because they moved the keyboard switch to the same place as the accessibility button. And I can't disable the accessibility button because they ALSO changed the way autofill works to be inside accessibility...
