My intention is not to troll, and my view is probably closer to yours than Lukas’s. I’m just honestly wondering why a dependency on SQL and an RDBMS is always seen as particularly wrong when we’re so willing to accept a similar dependency in other places

I’m not seriously suggesting that. I’m merely pointing out that you see no problem with a dependency on Java/the JVM, but do with one on SQL/an RDBMS.

Probably right. There’s absolutely no value for society in HFT, and it gets progressively more sane the longer the holding time

Admittedly, you could argue it would be even better to specify everything in a meta language, e.g. some kind of DSL, so that you’re not tied to Java

Fair enough. I would agree that in general, a good RDB design in something akin to TNF is an excellent starting point and will outlive many other things

No idea whether it’s true, and I have no idea who the bad guys are here, but this thread is very entertaining if you enjoy high stakes financial heist plots
Step 0: Citadel pays Robinhood for order flow. Citadel gets to see RH's orders a few milliseconds before they're filled. Citadel may choose to front-run some of those trades.
Step 1: RH's customers and WallStreetBets start manipulating $GME. This is happening in the open.

Relational databases and TNF are often dismissed or underused for bad reasons, and I applaud your advocacy for them. But if your main use cases are for a few variants of aggregated data, decomposing and then rejoining them, even with materialized views, creates unnecessary effort

I don’t understand this criticism. It’s super risky and whoever does it should know what they’re getting into. It’s a gamble, and it can bankrupt an org. But who ever said it mirrors reality? Why should it be illegal?

It sure is useful, but 3B is ridiculous.
