it's so good, wish I'd found it sooner

I'm now using ungoogled chrome, Firefox and cromite on my phone. it's working pretty well
I did that once when I moved from one DB IDE to another and didn't realise the new one only ran the highlighted part of the query.
there were thousands of medical students going through a long process to find placements with doctors and we had a database and custom state machine to move them through the stages of application and approval.
a bug meant a student had been moved to the wrong state. so I used a snippet of SQL to reset that one student, and as a nervous habit highlighted parts of the query as I reread them to be sure it was correct.
then hit run with the first half highlighted, without the where clause, so everyone in the entire database got moved to the wrong fucking state.
we had 24 hourly backups but I did it late in the evening, and because it was a couple of days before the hard deadline for the students to get their placements done hundreds of students had been updating information that day.
I spent until 4am the next day working out ways to imply what state everyone was in by which other fields had been updated to what, and incidentally found the original bug in the process 😒
anyway, I hope you feel better soon buddy. it sucks but it happens, and not just to you. good luck.
you'd forget to pop
oh for sure, it's just helpful if they're making a bad faith argument that it does work. it gives you some authority when you call them a fucking liar.
a study is helpful to show anyone who argues for those policies
When I was about 15 I woke up at about 4am, super distressed, and I knew someone had died. I didn't want to go look so I just hoped it wasn't my mother or father, shamefully I thought it would be better if it was a grandparent. There was a lot of going over possibilities and mental bargaining.
Eventually I calmed down and realised it was irrational and finally got back to sleep, the following day I found out it was a close friend of my mother's. She'd killed herself. I don't understand what happened, I don't really believe in the supernatural but it was very strange.
How does that work?!
mind you if there was reasonable social security like a payment to the jobless, exploitation like that would be harder. It feels like countries like the US fight social security to make it easier to pay people almost nothing, by keeping the danger of homelessness and lack of healthcare real.
not presuming you're in the US, that income would honestly make more sense in a less developed part of the world. I hope that's not an insult 😬
Youtube lets you monetize videos - I'd assume you can make more (and earn a living) more easily there than via an alternative. I agree they should be looking at alternatives but until they can earn a living there I doubt much will change.
currently governments fund and slash funding to all sorts of things according to political convenience.. I just want to see all those decisions validated entirely on merit by someone who understands it.
if it's popular with the mob but it's not true or doesn't work, well, we don't do it. president isn't an expert and can't say shit, and especially can't do stupid things so he can sound tough in a media release. we can't afford to keep dicking around with whatever sounds good to win popular support with the lowest common denominator while the world goes to shit.
the world is far beyond the level of complexity where any one person could understand enough to make off the cuff, meaningful decisions about big issues. people need to stop thinking they can vote sensibly on policy or policy performance on almost any issue, let alone all the issues.
I see you've never experienced a drought
