I think a few folks haven't read the article or know who Jeff Geerling is. The title of this article is confusing.

Jeff posted a video on YT about how to self-host your own media in 2024. He recently got a violation from YT that YT considers his video to be harmful and dangerous. He appealed, got denied, but then the update is that YT removed the violation.

I don't want to victim blame here, but both "Logan Paul" and "crypto" together is just screaming scam. That being said, I hope the victims get their money back, though from the article, I doubt it'll be anytime soon if at all.

I don't like karma. It incentivizes short, meme-y posts since those are things that get gets a lot of karma.

Yep, though federation syncing is really slowing down. This post from [email protected] is at 44 comments from programming.dev but 112 comments on the beehaw instance.

"I can read this Perl scrip"t should translate to "I'm lying".

Next season of Mushoku Tensei! Been waiting for a while and I'm hyped!

Rules about how to package a modified version are acceptable, if they don't substantively limit your freedom to release modified versions, or your freedom to make and use modified versions privately. Thus, it is acceptable for the license to require that you change the name of the modified version, remove a logo, or identify your modifications as yours. As long as these requirements are not so burdensome that they effectively hamper you from releasing your changes, they are acceptable; you're already making other changes to the program, so you won't have trouble making a few more.

Most of us have bad memories of over-complex hierarchies we regret seeing, but this is probably due to the dominance of OOP in recent decades.

This sentence here is why inheritance gets a bad reputation, rightly or wrongly. Inheritance sounds intuitive when you're inheriting Vehicle in your Bicycle class, but it falls apart when dealing with more abstract ideas. Thus, it's not immediately clear when and why you should use inheritance, and it soon becomes a tangled mess.

Thus, OO programs can easily fall into a trap of organizing code into false hierarchies. And those hierarchies may not make sense from developer to developer who is reading the code.

I'm not a fan of OO programming, but I do think it can occasionally be a useful tool.

Yes it can be an issue because the GPS doesn't know where you are and thinks you are on an aboveground street. Freeway tunnels can have multiple exits too.

A new community to request new communities instead of using the meta community. How very programmer of you.

The complainant suggested other manga to replace the series such as Chainsaw Man, To Your Eternity, and The Seven Deadly Sins among others.

lol

Lots of people here lamenting about this. But the truth is that good code is easy to modify/delete.

I think Tumblr's brand just got ruined. They were known for their nsfw material and now they don't know what else to do with their lack of users.

Some people just want to see the world burn. Haha.

Super cool to see this instance getting great exposure.

Ehhh, I don't quite agree with this. I've done the same thing where I used a timestamp field to replace a boolean. However, they are technically not the same thing. In databases, boolean fields can be nullable so you actually have 3-valued boolean logic: true, false, and null. You can technically only replace a non-nullable field to a timestamp column because you are treating null in timestamp as false.

Two examples:

1. A table of generated documents for employees to sign. There's a field where they need to agree to something, but it's optional. You want to differentiate between employees who agreed, employees who disagreed, and employees who have yet to agree. You can't change the column from is_agreed to agreed_at.

2. Adding a boolean column to an existing table. These columns need to either default to an value (which is fair) or be nullable.

Do you use it? When?

Parquet is really used for big data batch data processing. It's columnar-based file format and is optimized for large, aggregation queries. It's non-human readable so you need a library like apache arrow to read/write to it.

I would use parquet in the following circumstances (or combination of circumstances):

• The data is very large
• I'm integrating this into an analytical query engine (Presto, etc.)
• I'm transporting data that needs to land in an analytical data warehouse (Snowflake, BigQuery, etc.)
• Consumed by data scientists, machine learning engineers, or other data engineers

Since the data is columnar-based, doing queries like select sum(sales) from revenue is much cheaper and faster if the underlying data is in parquet than csv.

The big advantage of csv is that it's more portable. csv as a data file format has been around forever, so it is used in a lot of places where parquet can't be used.

I've turned off the bot for now.

Seriously, I would be upset but I'm also kind of impressed. Bravo.

I have been in a FTL kick lately. I've gotten all the achievements but I want at least 4 wins per ship. Slug B kicking my ass.
