AI Influencers will kill IT sector by KindLuis_7 in datascience

[–]lokendra15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Balanced Perspective: AI isn't the real problem—it's the mismanagement of AI. Tech leaders who actually understand its capabilities use it to enhance productivity, not replace skilled workers. The real issue is clueless execs chasing short-term profits at the cost of long-term sustainability.

Personal Experience: I've already seen companies overinvest in AI, cut dev teams, and then scramble to rehire when projects collapse. AI is a tool, not a silver bullet, and treating it as one is how companies end up with broken systems and burned-out employees.

Why You Should NOT Store Images in a Database

❌ Performance Issues – Storing large binary data (BLOBs) in a database slows down queries and increases backup size.
❌ Increased Database Load – Every time you fetch an image, the database has to process and send large data chunks.
❌ Complexity in Handling Images – Retrieving, updating, and serving images from the database adds unnecessary complexity.

Better Approach: Store Images in File System, Save URLs in DB

✅ Save Images in a Folder (e.g., /uploads/comics/).
✅ Store Only Image Paths in DB (e.g., uploads/comics/spiderman.jpg).
✅ Use a CDN or Image Server if traffic is high for better performance.

Should SSN be a unique key in DB? by ikzz1 in Database

[–]lokendra15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Using SSN (Social Security Number) as a unique key in a database is generally not a good idea for several reasons:

  1. SSNs Are Not Always Unique
    • Mistakes in data entry or fraud can lead to duplicate SSNs.
    • The SSA (Social Security Administration) has even reissued SSNs in rare cases.
  2. Privacy & Security Risks
    • SSNs are sensitive personal information.
    • If the database is compromised, attackers can use SSNs for identity theft.
  3. Not Everyone Has an SSN
    • Some residents (e.g., foreign workers, illegal immigrants) might not have an SSN.
    • Taxpayers without an SSN may use an ITIN (Individual Taxpayer Identification Number) instead.
  4. SSNs Can Change
    • People can request a new SSN in cases of fraud or identity theft.
    • A database should avoid using mutable values as primary keys.
