Reddit for sports? Reddit is agnostic, you could probably just create a subreddit for sports there...
That is the reason I historically stayed away from Mongo but they’ve improved and either way, I need a document store (jsonb in PG won’t do).
Newbes can use Mongo, Marc Lou has built 20 startups on Mongo and makes 300k. He was very novice when he started.
Fair play if they've fixed the issues
I'm curious what kind of use case you have where jsonb won't work considering Postgres typically benchmarks well (ironically, better than Mongo) when dealing with jsonb data
And yeah I'm not saying it's not possible. You can be successful with any DB choice really and Marc's use cases work fine with Mongo (I don't know all of his apps, but most of the ones I've seen either don't have persistence requirements or have pretty simple data models that can basically be stored in anything including Mongo), but I typically don't recommend Mongo to new people because I've seen a lot of folks shoot themselves in the foot trying to force relational data into a document format just because they don't know any better
What I mean by that is that it's really easy to look at Mongo if you don't have a lot of experience and think "oh yeah, I can represent everything I could ever hope to store in a database using a JSON doc" even if there might be relationships between entities that are better off in a typical RDBMS and not a document DB. I mean, I've seen people do wild shit like attempt to represent an entire social graph for a user in a mongodb document. That's where the danger is in my view.
Why I had to go to Mongo: I really needed something that was "json first". I got 3000 different fields/keys, but my largest documents only have 100 fields at most. So a huge number of the fields only appear in a sub-set of the documents.
True Marc's use cases have simple requirements, but that is true for most newbies. In a way I'd say Mongo is better for newbies doing simple stuff than experienced engineers building complex apps...
Lol, @marc is this a feature, or a bug? Three consequitive dashes seems to make text an MD header, or similar?
Wonder if it's just the Markdown parser doing that
Even works with two dashes, from what I can see. Maybe even one.
Yeah, seems to be there is a case of MD injection here, which if true, might be possible to lead to an MDX injection, at which point your cookies are mine ;-)
Pretty interesting discussion going on here!
I’ve been using Mongo (via Mongoose) for a while and I tried SQLite recently.
I like SQLite for the standardised way of building databases. With MongoDB, there’s no real best practice and everything is open to interpretation
Is totally fine if you use SQLite.
Have a look at Mongo as well, it is a really good database and surprisingly easy to run yourself. I actually recently switched all my databases from SQLite to Mongo.
I'm not doing programmatic SEO though... I'm doing the old vanilla, based on purely my content.
At this point Google just sucks, plain and simple. Again, I get more traffic from Baidu alone, or Yandex alone, or Bing alone.
And the quality of the traffic is okay, people coming through organic search from other avenues than Google spend a fair bit of time on the websites.
Yeah, tried it. I've now gone down from 230 indexed pages to 144.
I figured it isn't much I can do at this point. Spread the content and eventually google will find it.
Funily enough, I actually receive more traffic from each of Baidu, Yandex and Bing than I receive from Google.
I think that shows how much trouble Google has. There is so much shitty spam they simply don't know what to index, and the users are starting to realise and leave.
Yeah thats also what i gather from twitter, that people doing programmatic seo are experiencing a downtrend

I’m a European too. Lived here since tiny baby, now kinda old… 😂
It is so sad. The US has a few states like that, such as California and New York. But Europe, we’ve had many countries like that for decades. Sweden is a great example. And they are using the EU to force everyone to become like Sweden. Mass immigration, high tax (wastefully utilised), woke.
I've given up on Europe. Asia probably the best place.
- Calm and relaxed people.
- No wasting of taxpayer money on vanity projects the same way they do in the west.
- Authors not being chased for refusing to "recognise" there are "100+ genders", etc, etc.
The west has been in moral decline for 50 years. And while a few magnificent companies keep it afloat financially, eventually they too will crumble, or they need to outsource an ever increasing portion of their workforce.
With AI in full swing, taking jobs, I think there will be a bloodbath here before too long.
LatAm is cool but not as peaceful as Asia imho.
As a European I completely agree with the moral decline, it was imported rather quickly from the US. And US at least kept a freedom of speech. Look at Scotlands new law, it's only a downhill from there.

Hmm I am assuming that you already have pressed "Request index". Other than that there is not much to do other than wait for google to index it, sometimes it just takes time.
You could also try one of the "get indexed instantly" services but I wouldn't recommend it as they violate google's terms

That was a Markdown feature we shouldn't support. Fixed now

Yes exactly. And sometimes your data looks exactly like that, which makes it hard to retrofit into SQL.
It does. Best not to change database types midway into the project anyway
