Relationships and data
Relationships and data
Today when we arrived to the majestic beer oclock I started reading the documentation of Neo4J. Have you heard about it?
So its a graph database heavily integrating graph operations into its engine. Practically its a schema-less relationship database. So its having a document based storage model, where you store your objects. Then you have the relationship as a first class citizen. A relationship has a direction and a name, so we can call them a triplet. So far its nothing extraordinary - the engine that makes it quite good. It has a special query lange that supports working with document connections. If you check out the link you will find a nice example of the queries. It can lookup related items recursively which makes it effective compare to simple join-based query languages.
In the fever I quickly checked if there is a Neo4J DB engine module for module, but rule 34 kinda failed, the sandbox module contains 1 line, the name in the info file. Pity. Ive downloaded and ran the server. The web gui is nice seems easy to play with. Ill think about a good toy-project idea on the weekend.
Sadly enough I didnt do any Basic today, not yet, to be precise. Ive found a guy on Reddit who made a C64 game, in 48 hrs. Insane.
I started listening to Smart Drug Smarts podcast, my hairy buddy suggested to listen to it. And to my surprise todays guest was Sebastian Marshall, who turned to be a huge quantified self guy. Im still really creeped out the way these nootropics fans are taking these medications. However on the scientific side I admit its not witch-crafting. I just like to keep everything on the minimal optimum as it - statistically - makes less extra effort by keeping the complexity low. Thats one of the reason I dont take any food supplements. Im hundred percent sure it works, but Im also quite sure it takes more time than I want to spend on it.
Not long ago I managed to read through the essential chapters of the Pro Git book. And miracle happened, Im one step closer to understand what Git is. I really suggest everybody to read it if you still not sure about Git.
All right, time to C64.
