What's occurring?

Has this room been renamed to 𝕏 yet?

Is it Friday yet?

DB2, trash

AIX, not toooo bad

OS/2 Warp was alright

I see SO has basically gone to shit though. Shame

I wrote a video streaming site for DJs too, that was fun

I'm alright, mustn't complain! Tried to escape from Oracle, but still use Oracle. Larry just won't let go

I tend to annoy people on product specific slacks these days, forget to come here :)

Hey. How're you?

All the cool kids use Unix Time

That’s just too much

I think I’m going to ask for all of my data to be deleted from the site

When did the “sponsored by AWS” thing appear at the top of the site?

Cheers

I don't pay much attention to it either these days. I had a season ticket years ago. now I barely even check scores

I watch way more Twitch than TV these days

I have a waiting list of customers, so I hope so

Same. In fact, I've accidentally created a Twitch-based side business that's looking like it might work out really well :)

Not on the site much as I tend to help people on a product-specific Slack instead

Hey

How is everyone?

Bonkers purchase

Woo, booster vaccination booked for Wednesday

Yeah, I feel the same. PG is great. I use Oracle a little in my day job these days, but I can't see it ever being a full time thing again. Which is s shame, as it's a great RDBMS

Quite a good blog on MySQL, written by one of its [ex] developers blog.sesse.net/blog/tech/2021-12-05-16-41_leaving_mysql.html

Yo

I got rejected for a graduate job at MS 22 years ago, lol.

Just joined the SalesForce SE site. This is probably the worst day of my life! Haha

Looking at the DB container conversation from last night. Oh dear

Oooh, a shell with SQL-like syntax github.com/nushell/nushell

@ISupportTheBoycott I wish people would remember that you can use a CASE statement in ORDER BY. Makes things like that a bit easier

I hear MySQL has been invading its territory for years

@PaulWhite :)

lol

You're certainly not the worst, but that's a history lesson in itself, and it's best we don't start you on that :P

You're crap at finding battles :)

I don't, you're technically good

Which would benefit the site and yourself TBH

Pick where to fight your battles etc. You wouldn't have any battles here if you focussed on your expertise

True. Just trying to help you dude

I love the internet & this shitty world!

Gets better "the New Yorkers in this thread are like, he had a tiger? eh. Wait, did you say FIVE BEDROOM APARTMENT? UNBELIEVABLE!"

"One of my buddies was doing his emergency medicine residency in Harlem when this happened! He said the guy was just shredded, parallel deep, deep lacerations from being clawed, and tried to blame it on a dog. He said one of nurses in the department was from Uganda and took the medical team aside to tell them that the wounds looked way more like what she’d seen on animals attacked by leopards or lions."

WTF New York! en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ming_of_Harlem

I wish you'd just be a database supporter/advocate instead. You're better at that

@ISupportTheBoycott What are you supporting now?

:)

BTW, love your profile "Hated databases in college, love them now...". The DB lecturer at my university was terrible, and I feel the same
