  • 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.














  • 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.
