  • Storing large volumes of a text in a database column without optimization, then searching for small strings within it. It causes the database to basically search character by character to find a match by reading everything from disk. If you use indexes the database can do a lot of really incredible optimization to make finding values mich faster, and honestly string searching is better suited to a non-relational DB engine (which is why search engines don’t use relational DBs).

    Cartesian explosion is where you join related data together in a way that causes your result set to be wayyyy bigger than you expect. For example if you try to search through blog posts, but then also decide to bring in comments to search, then bring in the authors of those comments and all their comments from other posts. Result sets start to grow exponentially in that way, so maybe if you only search a few thousand blog posts you might be searching through millions of records because you designed your queries poorly.

    I’m 9 books into WoT right now (its good shit) and the overlap between the Dune series is pretty interesting to say the least. Rand -> Paul, Aes Sedai -> Benne Gesserit, Aiel -> Fremen, I mean there’s a dozen more comparisons I could make too. The lack of Turbo Pussies and chair dogs is a let down though.

    There’s a lot of incredible American- made cheeses, usually from more local cheese makers. Wisconsin and Vermont are the most fampus for their cheeses, but every state probably has good cheesemakers and there are some pretty good national brands. But the main cheese section at your typical grocery store is mostly just mass-produced cheap cheese that is probably more what you’re referring too, which is fine for most uses (e.g. cooking) but eaten alone i would describe as perfectly fine but not great. A lot of grocery stores have a nicer cheese section, but it’s usually in a section of the store more with other small bites.
