I can only imagine we’re going to see it replaced with something altogether more exploitative.
The admin that posted that has been working on blockchain/crypto/NFT stuff for the last year… I can only imagine they have some awful plan relating to that.
100% agree. I still have a 40” 1080p dumb tv because I can’t find one that I trust to not do something annoying/invasive.
I nearly bought the same one my friend has (Samsung something) as it seemed pretty inoffensive, until he told me it had started showing ads on the menu screens a few months after he bought it.
Haha yep. I can't imagine anyone's seriously using that code, and actually there's a lot to be said for specifying the fields in your queries rather then just getting everything (cos things can change), but not having select * is just ridiculously hostile to new users just trying to get a feel for the data.
But that's very Salesforce. They've redesigned SQL so it's "better".
Imagine that attitude applied to an entire platform. It's not bad, per se - it's pretty consistent, stable and mature. But it's certainly spiky and difficult to use compared to other ecosystems.
Indeed. It's okay though, the same behaviour can be trivially achieved with this simple function:
String table = 'table_name';
String query_string = 'SELECT ';
List<String> table_list = new List<String>();
table_list.add(table);
Set<String> table_rows = schema.describeSObjects(table_list)[0].fields.getMap().keyset();
for(String row : table_rows){
query_string += row + ',';
}
query_string = query_string.removeEnd(','); //remove trailing comma
query_string += ' FROM ' + table;
Database.query(query_string);
Which I'm sure you'll agree is much more enterprise.
I mean, there’s no select *, for a start.
Personally I think “communities” is the closest we’ve got to a generic name for those things.
Block accounts can get expensive if you’re doing a lot of traffic.
The setup I recommend is one unlimited account and a block account on a different backbone. That way you can download as much as you like and the block account gives you extra coverage.
He just started again in the last day
It’s not just AI. Somewhere between the “research” and “commercialisation” phase of every technology’s development it seems to transform into the most cynical, exploitative possible version of itself.
I wonder how much of this is Firefox getting better and how much is Chrome getting worse...
I posted this elsewhere, but they were already paying people to post content before the protest.
Have a look at this user’s posts prior to the blackouts: https://old.reddit.com/user/WelshCai/ Lots and lots of low-effort posts in various UK subreddits.
And read this (which was posted after he got accused of being a karma farming bot), note the admin comment confirming it: https://old.reddit.com/user/WelshCai/comments/130zbw6/i_am_a_community_builder_for_reddit/
This link confirms that Community Builders are “vetted and paid by Reddit for their time”: https://support.reddithelp.com/hc/en-us/articles/4418715794324-What-is-the-Community-Builders-Program-
Despite claiming they work with mods, the mods of those subreddits don’t seem to be aware of this, as evidenced by this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/Leeds/comments/138gi40/reddit_community_builders_please_read_details/
Good. Aspartame tastes fucking awful. I’d rather have food that’s less sweet than sweeteners.
