I am trying to work out if this is LTR Arabic, or just gibberish.

From the boardgame Blood on the Clocktower.

Update: The original dev does not remember exactly. However they have said that clientId was originally a VARCHAR, so this may have been checking for both '0' or ''

So an over-engineered workaround to a bad datatype perhaps?

[–] Threen@aussie.zone 3 points 1 year ago

I forgot to mention this is in SQL Server, so SIN operates on radians. So I THINK this can only ever cast to a 0 when clientId is also 0

It certainly doesn't for any of the 100,000 existing rows

The client table has around 100,000 rows each with a unique clientId, none of which are returned from the CAST / ABS / SIN

I think you are right and this is a 'fix' for something lost to time. I am going to talk to the original dev tomorrow to see if they remember what it was for

I am one of the developers on a very small team and have just found the following query

I would love to hear your ideas for what you think was being attempted here!

SELECT ... FROM client WHERE CAST(ABS(SIN(clientId)) AS BIT) = 0

Thank you so much, I'll check it out!

Absolutely, it's a great read. Could you link the video you watched?

 

I hope some people here enjoy reading these as much as I have

If you know of anything similar, I would love to hear them

I have the maxed out Pokemon storage of 6,800. Does anyone know if I buy the Great Storage Box if it will still increase this?

Glitched avatar (aussie.zone)

Found an interesting little glitch

  1. Close your game
  2. Turn your phone's GPS off
  3. Start the game and as soon as it loads open routes
  4. Turn GPS back on and after a few seconds close routes

Gyms and stops don't appear

Pokemon cannot be clicked on

This is in my nearby list

This is in my profile

 

What am I meant to be doing with "routes". There are none around me to follow and I cannot seem to create a new one

I am missing something? Do I need to complete something?

 

I am wanting to test things and contribute back to lemmy's codebase, and to do that I want to run an instance

I have had no issue setting up an instance, but I want to make sure the things I test / change are not going to cause issues for the fediverse

For example, if I federate a remote instance and then wipe my DB (while keeping the same URL), will that other instance be able to handle the change?

Is there a best practice for this that I should follow?

[–] Threen@aussie.zone 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I think it is a bug and here's why

I have setup a lemmy instance to understand how it works and hopefully contribute something meaningful

My instance has 2 users, both are subscribed to the same cross-instance community, but only one is showing Subscribe Pending even if I un-sub and re-sub

I am not aware of any approval system to subscribe to a community, so I believe the approval was received the community instance, but the "accept" response data was missed / dropped when returning to your host instance

Maybe something like "Drone Techno"?

Oh yeah, I remember listening to that when they only had around 5 episodes

They still do the high-pitched beep when you start or stop I see haha

Thank you

 

I am a big fan of listening to Drone Zone on SomeFM while programming

Hit me with your favourite streams, albums or artists

 

I fell in love with this album many years ago, I hope someone here will enjoy it too

 

I work on top of pokestops, so add me and you'll get one today
