I imagine he’s looking at a payments table where there is a non-unique key to relate a citizen to each payment.

Using pivot tables.

You just describe half of my career. 😅

What’s a sodium sunset?

It’s been my understanding that you do not contact Google. You read their docs and you like it. Have I been mistaken?

It’s almost as if it’s better for humans to do human things (like programming). If your tool is incapable of achieving your and your company’s needs, it’s time to ditch the tool.

Damn op. Going hard on a Friday. But seriously, my condolences. It sounds like you had a genuinely good friend/brother. My heart goes out to you and your family, as well as his family. 💙

I had never heard of Cypher before, but yes. Just like that.

I would want the superpower of linguistics: the ability to fluently read, speak, and understand any language ever spoken or will be spoken.

I would call my boys to tell them I love them. I would let my ex know that my dog needs to be picked up tomorrow. Then I would eat the remainder of my gummies and go to bed. My dog of course would likely follow and lay beside me as I drift off into nothingness.

Bridges don’t just appear out of nowhere! Someone has to do it.

Awww! I begged my mom for my own volcano when I was a kid. She even said that if I saved up my allowance, I could have one a couple of weeks from when I asked.

Sadly, she feigned no memory of said promise after those couple of weeks. And my dreams of having a pet volcano were dashed.

😢

Yes. Thankfully in my experience I’ve only dealt with this once or twice. But it’s a pita every time.

I’ve tried switching macOS to a case sensitive file system, but not all programs can handle it (at the time it was Photoshop).

That’s called a workaround. No end user should have to rely on a workaround as a solution to a bug; and make no mistake, it’s a bug.

I’m probably going to get downvoted to Hell and back, but someone’s gotta say it: that’s a git problem, not Windows.

First of all, I agree that case-insensitive file systems suck. It makes things inconsistent, especially from a development standpoint.

But, everyone has known that Windows (and macOS) use case insensitive file systems. At least for Windows, it always has been that way.

Git was written in Linux, which uses a case sensitive file system. So it’s no surprise that its internals use case insensitive storage. Someone ported it over to Windows, and I’m sure they knew about the file system differences. They could’ve taken that into account for file systems that are case insensitive, but chose not to do anything to safe guard Windows users.

But until the day that somebody fixes Git, everybody who is not using case sensitive file systems needs to care more about how they name things (and make sure their team does too). Because fuck everyone else, right?

Not sure whether it’s a mistake or not, but when I see people being so negative on their profile, I skip. It’s fine to announce your intentions (eg, looking forward a commitment, not looking for a situationship), but if your profile is mainly a list of don’t’s, then that to me screams you’ve still got issues to work through.

Another one are the people who either don’t fill out a profile, or say something trite like “if you want to know, ask”. That makes me think you’re lazy, and expect the other person to do all the work. If you can’t be bothered even a little, then I can’t be bothered even a little.

How’d you get a photo of my stove top from tonight?

This also tracks for programming.
