  • It's mostly because C is notorious for not holding your hand and not telling you when you mess up. Write one past the array's length? Might do nothing, might crash, might mess up some other data, might crash later in somewhere completely different.

  • I use a keepass vault thrown in a syncthing directory but like literally any file sync will do. If you get conflicts, KeePassXC can merge them

  • Well you see, the oceanfront properties we already sold will be underwater, so we can build new ones and sell them again!

  • I thought it was: 1. The devil defeats Johnny, 2. Johnny defeats the devil but disappears after, and 3. Johnny defeats the devil and returns as a child to warn the Pope.

  • Only if you're trans: P

  • Oh boy 6AM!

  • Everyone in this thread needs to go watch Line Go Up at Folding Ideas

  • I don't think that's true. Bitcoins are fungible, NFTs aren't.

  • My point is that SQL works with and returns data as a flat table, which is ill fitting for most websites, which involve many parent-child object relationships. It requires extra queries to fetch one-to-many relationships and postprocessing of the result set to match the parents to the children.

    I'm just sad that in the decades that SQL has been around, there hasn't been anything else to replace it. Most NoSQL databases throw out the good (ACID, transactions, indexes) with the bad.

  • The fact that you'd need to keep this structure in SQL and make sure it's consistent and updated kinda proves my point.

    It's also not really relevant to my example, which involves a single level parent-child relationship of completely different models (posts and tags).

  • "The planet is fine. The people are fucked."

  • SQL blows for hierarchical data though.

    Want to fetch a page of posts AND their tags in normalized SQL? Either do a left join and repeat all the post values for every tag or do two round-trip queries and manually join them in code.

    If you have the tags in a JSON blob on the post object, you just fetch and decide that.

  • Damn why does all the software I want to use end up being developed by bigoted assholes. First nix now this.

  • Deep fried mozzarella

  • That's quite the turd(le) they dropped

  • "Can't media format X run arbitrary code" is almost never an issue with the format itself and virtually always a bug with a particular decoder/player.
