ERROR: permission denied for "GIRLS"

~~and smallwaist = true~~

and itty_bitty_waist = true

and round_thing_in_your_face = true

[–] KrankyKong 6 points 2 days ago

is_sprung = true

[–] Persen 3 points 2 days ago

I would reject this pull request. Why is the indenting all over the place? Why is your keyword capitalisation all over the place? WHY YELLOW?!

Edit: the more I look at this the more it pisses me off. Wtf is going on with your kerning? Just random number and placement of spaces. Also, why is the table name in caps? Who does that? Select * is lazy. Do you really need every field about a girl? Really? Worst of all, not a limited request. I sware this is just the kind of thing that would return 30 million rows and brick the database for twenty seconds.

You are now a Certified Rejector. Stay sharp, keep the wheel rolling.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

You forgot some: Why is there no space after SELECT?

Why are boyfriend and smallwaist not questions like is_cute and is_crazy? Either all boils are with a verb or none.

Also why is smallwaist not in snake case? It should be small_waist (or better yet has_small_waist or even better waist = "small")

Also also boyfriend should be null not false, this would solve multiple issues.

And finally the only positive thing is the * itself, because selecting only body would be even worse. 🤣

This is not funny and any man wearing this would probably not pass a similar test using any woman's criteria. If I saw someone wearing this my first thought would certainly not be "hey this is a guy with a great sense of humor and I would like to hang with him!".

Should be age > (my_age / 2) +7

[–] olafurp 11 points 2 days ago

Found the programmer thread that criticises the data model instead of the t-shirt

[–] [email protected] 19 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Why would there be an age and my_age column on the table GIRLS?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 days ago (3 children)

Good point.

Should be age > (@my_age / 2) +7

FTFOP - now my age is some value defined outside the immediate query.

More likely, the GIRLS would be a view of some table persons and you could query my_age from that table too.

Because for each girl you meet, you might tell her a different age.

Or (my_age - 7) * 2 < age < (my_age / 2) +7`

most infurating part of this is the mixing of cases

At least he's wearing the red flag on the outside.

Guy with a belly asks for girl with a small waist. The half-assed ugly shirt will do it.

Instant woman repellant.

[–] jqubed 75 points 3 days ago (3 children)

I feel confident in assuming the guy who would wear this shirt seeking “girls” between the ages of 18 and 26 is himself no younger than 45.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Ah I missed the age gap.

Would this guy qualify as an OUTER JOIN? (Sorry, SQL is not my native language)

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago

I sure wouldn't want him as an INNER JOIN

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 days ago

yesss I'm 42 so I can wear this shirt with pride!

One of the reasons women will find this repugnant is because they didn't normalize their tables. Should be boyfriend_id is null.

[–] aaaa 65 points 3 days ago (3 children)

For that matter, why is waist size a Boolean?

[–] [email protected] 51 points 3 days ago (2 children)

They allowed business logic to pollute the DB table, and "small waist" is a defined range in some confluence doc somewhere.

Why is there a separate table for men and women in the first place? Shouldn't there be a person table with a many to many relationship with itself (because polyamory exists)?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 days ago (2 children)

To that point a person table with a relationship table. So this way you can reference relationship between two or more persons within the relationship table and that could be joined to the person table if needed. I don't think you'd really be able to keep it within one table while exploring multiple relationships unless you're storing a list of ids that is interpreted outside of sql. Also a relationship table would allow exploring other types of relationships such as exes, love interests, coworkers, family, friends, etc

Maybe it's supposed to imply that boyfriend is an attribute of the particular girl. Like saying she isn't someone's boyfriend. It's probably a holdover from the original data architecture and nobody ever bothered to modify the table later on in case there's a select somewhere that expects that field to exist.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 days ago

Or, if you allow for polyamory and non-hetero relationships, you probably need a rel table (and some joins in the query).

Maybe GIRLS is just a view...

Gonna sound racist but deal with it.

I constantly meet asian developers (Singapore , India, China, etc) with this edgelord personality. They come to American conferences and meetups, say some wild sexist shit, and someone has to politely let them know not to.

Some backtrack. Some apologize. Some literally freeze up and pretend like it didn't happen.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 days ago

We do still live in a bubble in the west. We're fighting for equity across genders and race, while some parts of the world are still questioning if sexual harassment against women at work is really that big of a deal.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Many of my guy coworkers have been (and are) sort of misogynistic, and homophobic (I'm in India). It makes me really uncomfortable. Might start reporting people to HR one day.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

Just get to know HR first. They might be mysogynists themselves (even if they are female).

This is the most Indian shit I have seen this week.

I can already imagine a 40-something year old manager coming into work wearing this

[–] [email protected] 35 points 3 days ago

This is why we have codes of conduct.

Who says programmers don't have a sense of humor?

No one. It's just what you pretend people say to make yourself feel like some kind of special exception.

He forgot the "TOP 2" qualifier.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 days ago

Heh. That reminds me of the feeling when I carefully place a LIMIT 100 and get 0 results...

[–] pixxelkick 14 points 3 days ago (6 children)

Most SQL Dbs use bits, so it would be WHERE field = 1

The entire shirt caused me 4d6 psychological damage.
