That’s the most Influx-like decision ever.

There are other query languages. InfluxDB develops one called Flux. It’s a master class on why corporate led open source can really suck. Daily use features get deprecated all the time and each new release is breaking. The documentation is horribly insufficient and the language syntax is usually not clear and it wraps many behaviors into one vague function name. Yes, SQL is pretty impressive.

All of them. Every idea any web designer has had since 2000 has been a bad one. Content on the internet is exclusively worse since Facebook was released. Redesigns let management get convenient quarterly objectives and we spend way too much time redesigning when we could be getting features. It’s all absurd.

Glitter is not a major micro plastic source, and people who buy glitter are probably not people who are worried about micro plastics anyways. Car tires are so much more of a micro plastics source that it’s almost not worth worrying about other sources until we figure that one out.

There isn’t a weight limit for the overhead compartment on any airline I’ve flown.

Impossible, all their 1970 tech is rusted through.

The environmental issue here isn’t really that they will re-enter, but that we will need to use lots of rockets to replace them. Rockets produce a ton of greenhouse gasses, but no one really cares because we don’t launch a lot of them. However, if we start launching rockets far more frequently to replace disposable space debris, then we’re gonna start hitting big numbers.

One of these days, someone is going to invent a confluence alternative that only supports markdown and doesn’t have nay of confluences stupidity and it is going to EXPLODE and bankrupt Atlassian.

That’s actually embarrassing. They could literally afford to donate millions.

It’s not corporate FOSS that’s the problem here, it’s the BSD license. If BSD had a stronger license, Apple would be forced to give more back.

I remember when he got the job. It didn’t make big news, but literally everyone’s take was “This is the worst decision possible, why would you do this?” And things were quiet for a bit, but eventually he had to remind us who he is.

Accounts payable Nina speaking, JUST a moment!

I shopped at gems n gems (website) while ring hunting. We’re literally talking a dollar a gem, buy 50 or 100 if you want to make sure you get something you’ll like. I ended up not going with that option because I’d end up needing a local jeweler and wasn’t enthusiastic with my options, but still went synthetic from an online jeweler.

Double whammy

Y tho?

What a shit opinion piece. Every other word is just some attempt at making the piece more inflammatory. The whole article doesn’t say a single useful thing the entire time.

Disposable products are gonna have problems to keep them cheap. The solution to straws is non-dispossble straws, always was.

Also this is still a silly topic, straws won’t save the planet.

Just canceled Comcast after about 10 years. Recently moved, and after a month of difficulties getting my account transferred and losing my discounts I wanted to rollover due to salesman incompetence, I finally talked to someone who seemed ready to finish fixing everyone’s mess. I end the call with a sigh of relief, only to get an email a few minutes later with the wrong address on my account. The idiot was helping two customers at once and mixed us up. After a few more days of long calls, someone sorts it out and decides to order me a streaming box I explicitly said I didn’t want. Turns out, if you don’t plug in the streaming box, they’ll force you to return it, and if you don’t return it, they bill you for the BOX THEY GAVE ME FOR FREE. I try to return it online, but I can’t, in fact, the online portal says I have no equipment under my account. Why? Because the streaming box is still mixed up in an account I don’t have at the other address. Whatever, I can cancel and move on with my life. Within two weeks of canceling, they sold my email to a bunch of scammers, and I know it was them because the email was unique for Comcast.

And that the service replies practically instantly every time no matter which domain you choose.

Edit: wtf is with these downvotes? DNS is without a doubt the fastest part of accessing the internet. In website load time, it’s an almost unnoticable fraction of the total load time.
