Unprecedented only means there's no precedent. This just hasn't happened before at this scale.

These situations are almost always self-inflicted. If someone else hacked Google Cloud this badly then you'd likely have heard it from them first. And they probably would have done something significantly more destructive if their goal was harming Google reputation.

Republicans Flock to Trump’s Trial, Risking Control of the House Floor ( www.nytimes.com )

"The House was in session at the Capitol on Thursday, but thanks to the latest procession of Republicans reporting for duty in front of a Manhattan criminal courthouse to show support for former President Donald J. Trump at his trial, the party risked ceding its control of the floor,” the New York Times reports....

Law and order is a euphemism for free minority labor. Build the laws to keep jails full since those lameo historical killjoys made outright slavery illegal.

Plus you have plenty of time to tumble once or twice while your large codebase compiles.

Is there a language that anyone would say really does fare well for continued development or is it just that few people enjoy maintaining code? I've maintained some pretty old Go programs I wrote and didn't mind it at all. I've inherited some brand new ones and wanted to rage quit immediately. I've also hated my own code too, so it's not just whether or not I wrote it.

I have found maintainability is vastly more about the abstractions and architecture (modules and cohesive design etc) chosen than it is about the language.

Nonsense! We will write that history so that we're clearly the good guys!

Unless you're saying it's possible we've not always been the good guys but surely that's not it.

Rant: vanilla local app search is ridiculously bad

For a search company I can't believe how terrible the Android app search is. I can't even search "bank" for my banking apps, and there doesn't really seem to be any metadata except for the title that goes into the search. Which is absolutely ridiculous given how many companies name their apps something cReAtIvE like "home" or...

Or then you type the next letter of the word and the result you want goes away, but only after you're milliseconds from tapping it.

The other related advantage is being able to update data about a given B once, instead of everywhere it occurs as a child in A.

andrew ,
@andrew@lemmy.stuart.fun avatar

The real primary benefit of storing your relationships in a separate place is that it becomes a point of entry for scans or alterations instead of scanning all entries of one of the larger entity types. For example, "how many users have favorited movie X" is a query on one smaller table (and likely much better optimized on modern processor architectures) vs across all favorites of all users. And "movie x2 is deleted so let's remove all references to it" is again a single table to alter.

Another benefit regardless of language is normalization. You can keep your entities distinct, and can operate on only one of either. This matters a lot more the more relationships you have between instances of both entities. You could get away with your json array containing IDs of movies rather than storing the joins separately, but that still loses for efficiency when compared to a third relationship table.

The biggest win for design is normalization. Store entities separately and updates or scans will require significantly less rewriting. And there are degrees of it, each with benefits and trade-offs.

As an AI language model I'm not able to answer duplicate questions and this was asked before. Closing.

andrew ,
@andrew@lemmy.stuart.fun avatar

I think the joke is that the AI trained on SO data to the point that duplicate, similar, or common questions would get this treatment. Since that's common enough on SO to be a meme.

You might want to rephrase your satire disclaimer. It read to me like "Kari lake fabricated all this," and I already have enough reason to dislike her without something like that.

I mean if they need to raise the prices to pay a fair wage and fewer people can fly, so be it. They're not running a charity and these aren't volunteers we're talking about. They're people working full time jobs to support themselves.

How do you get rid of bad neighbors?

So our neighbors have been a growing problem for a few months now. They seem to be a flop house for six or seven people, most of them look high all day. They go out and Rev a Harley at 3am, they burn plastic been our houses in a fire pit, they have a new dog every two weeks because they keep getting out and getting hit by...

andrew ,
@andrew@lemmy.stuart.fun avatar

In my experience, bad neighbors don't really move. If you're lucky, you can move. But yeah, the qualities that make them bad neighbors often follow them to the rest of their lives, and they're stuck at their current means and especially in this economy, that's not a recipe for moving.

Some people see the value in trying. But yes, sometimes it's hopeless.
