Citizen of the Galaxy - despite being one of Heinlein’s “juveniles” is an interesting and entertaining exploration of the balance between freedom and duty.
It’s mostly not earth based.

Can you expand upon why you chose those particular things to focus on? I’m genuinely interested and don’t have a traditional CS background so I’d like to know what I’m missing.
(Serious question. I’m not being snarky)

Oh that's why I could never check it out!
I'm kidding - I'm in the same area and would have loved to have read this, if I'd known it existed.

Re:Ask HN: Junior SQL developers – How do you learn SQL?

Yes I'm familiar with it. What I'm saying is that :
relation = table. join = relationship.

Bit of a nitpick.
Relations are another name for the tables, relations are not the joins between them.

Absolutely agree with everything here. But I'm curious what you're considering as an Excel replacement? For anything more sophisticated than Google Sheet's can handle I can't think of a single alternative off-hand.

This is an approach I've been exploring myself. Do you have any suggestions or recommendations as to languages that lend them selves well to this approach?

A bit of an aside, but is anyone aware of a cloud player (for onedrive or google drive ideally) that supports audiobooks well? I'm using the onedrive app at the moment but it has a tendency to forget your progress which leads to a lot of manual scrubbing to find your place.
