  • I used to work somewhere that had a bit of a mild “hazing ritual” for new folks. (Unofficial, not established by the management or anything, though not forbidden by the management. Voluntary. When I started there, it was known I was a teetotaler, and they never even offered, which is fine with me.) Their first Friday, they’d have the new person take a shot of Malort.

    So, you can imagine a beer on a Friday afternoon was a pretty common occurrence.

    create table boolean (
      id integer primary key,
      name text not null unique
    )
    insert into boolean (name) values ('true');
    insert into boolean (name) values ('false');
    create table document (
      id integer primary key,
      name text not null unique,
      body text not null,
      is_archived not null integer,
      foreign key (is_archived) references boolean (id)
        on delete cascade
        on update no action
    );
    

    Solved.

    Bonus: DBAs hate this one weird trick that can free up incredible amounts of disk space by deleting just two rows.



  • Very no. Discord is fully controlled by one central entity (“Discord Inc.”) which is actively enshittifying the fuck out of it every way they can. Fediverse means… basically the opposite of all that: decentralized/distributed such that anyone can run their own instance of the fully-FOSS software that runs the application without connecting to any other instances or with federation with other instances if they want.

    Discord is basically as not-fediverse as a thing can get.







  • I think you’ve been chastised hard enough, so I won’t be rude about it. (I’m glad someone did that for me before I saw this thread.) But my recommendation is:

    • Lose the LLM functionality.
    • And if you wrote it with LLMs, throw it away and rewrite it yourself.

    And, yes, I get the irony of telling you this in a Lemmy community with an AI-generated banner image and “guys, it’s 2026, if you’re not using AI at this point you’re falling behind” in the sidebar. (A sentiment I cannot condemn in strong enough terms, but it’s not my community. danhab99, if you see this, I would request changes particularly regarding the banner, and I suspect a lot of folks here on Lemmy would echo my request.) But I don’t think you’ll get a lot of positive responses to LLM-related projects on Lemmy in general.
