i guess java's response is to be more verbose
Feb 24, 2011 17:52
@Powerlord actually thats a good example, one i have run up against
Feb 24, 2011 17:49
:-)
Feb 24, 2011 17:49
@Brant, as in what use-case would cause that to be a limitation :-p
Feb 24, 2011 17:49
@Brant where would it make a practical difference for you?
Feb 24, 2011 17:39
though it can make queries more complex
Feb 24, 2011 17:38
Entity Attribute Value, potentially with Classes/Relationships

You might want to checkout the concept EAV C/R

NoSQL databases are easier to use for UDFs imo
Feb 24, 2011 16:48
@Rachel, are you stuck using a SQL database?

General Arqade Chat. We tried to leave once, but the door lock...
Feb 24, 2011 18:52
@Anna even better
Feb 24, 2011 18:51
@Anna i suspect the reason it flopped in area-51 is the highly reiterated stigma against this concept in the first place, more so than the idea itself being flawed
Feb 24, 2011 18:50
@badp not quite what i meant but reddit is a better example
Feb 24, 2011 18:49
Ok people stop suggesting discussion forms, if you honestly think about what i am suggesting you will see that a discussion form, which is strictly linear, doesnt have per post rating systems, and allows responses responses, is not the proper avenue for this type of stuff
Feb 24, 2011 18:47
@badp not a bad name acutally
Feb 24, 2011 18:46
honestly, would it be too much skin off anyone's back if we had a place where 'whats your favorite programmers blog' had a place to live? If you dont want to see that then stay away from that SE site. Or let them exist on the regular SE sites, and lets make a special tag that automatically hides questions from showing up unless you specifically search for that tag. Noise problem solved!
Feb 24, 2011 18:44
so we should have an alternative then
Feb 24, 2011 18:43
@badp agreed for sites like SO, and SO lite
Feb 24, 2011 18:42
What could make a SE subjective Q&A site not become crap like yahoo answers? Proper execution, and proper community mindset. I don't think that the SE sites are too far technically from being a great execution for it, so whats holding it back is the communities attitude- which is built and reinforced by the scars of a few flubs early in the process
Feb 24, 2011 18:40
oh really? because post count indicates quite the opposite
Feb 24, 2011 18:39
lol
Feb 24, 2011 18:39
@Anna, you and i have been back and fourth on this several times
Feb 24, 2011 18:38
I understand 'whats your favorite programmer blog' not belonging on Stackoverflow, however that question on a traditional forum wouldn't produce nearly as valuable of content as when its in a Q&A rep based site (people need motivation to post)
Feb 24, 2011 18:37
instead it we should just pretend the content and desire for it doesnt exist!
Feb 24, 2011 18:35
audience of <10 most of the time = way less conent/brains/etc
Feb 24, 2011 18:35
i was about to say its delusional to say chat is a valid alternative
Feb 24, 2011 18:35
lol
Feb 24, 2011 18:33
@badp, its not a question its an expression of dissatisfaction
Feb 24, 2011 18:31
if not, what the hell is programmers for besides Stackoverflow lite
Feb 24, 2011 18:31
as for: it's off-topic, it's noise and pointless, it's subjective and argumentative, if you were on StackOverflow id agree, but the version on Programmers seemed quite fitting to me
Feb 24, 2011 18:31
@badp, the following are issues that stem from the overeager closing complex that SE has: it was opened and closed countless times, it (probably, I don't have 10k) needed protection and locking because it just couldn't die and now has been deleted?
Feb 24, 2011 18:28
@badp whats wrong with that question?
Feb 24, 2011 18:28
I think all of the SE sites (the ones i frequent) have overeager closing issues
Feb 24, 2011 18:25
@bwarner, man I am seriously becoming disenfranchised with SE sites, they need to stop closing question like the one you linked
Feb 24, 2011 18:21
lol
Feb 24, 2011 18:18
@everyone ...what about... work?
Feb 24, 2011 18:18
wow this channel is active
Feb 24, 2011 17:48
lol
Feb 24, 2011 17:47
came in here because of your chat bomb on programmers
Feb 24, 2011 17:46
lo'
 
Feb 7, 2011 07:34
We should try to get this room populated, so share a link to it in the other chats
 
Feb 2, 2011 23:58
wow thats the first time I saw that
Feb 2, 2011 23:56
oh snap look at those stars fly up @JustinjjnguyNelson
Feb 2, 2011 23:46
oh look at that
