ERROR: permission denied for "GIRLS"

[–] [email protected] 124 points 6 days ago

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

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

For that matter, why is waist size a Boolean?

[–] [email protected] 54 points 6 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.

And why is cuteness and craziness binary?

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 6 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

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...

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago

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.

~~and smallwaist = true~~

and itty_bitty_waist = true

and round_thing_in_your_face = true

[–] KrankyKong 8 points 5 days ago

is_sprung = true

[–] Persen 3 points 6 days ago

It should be waist_size=1

[–] [email protected] 40 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (3 children)

Should be age > (my_age / 2) +7

[–] [email protected] 20 points 6 days ago (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 13 points 6 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.

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 days ago (4 children)

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

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] 19 points 6 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] 9 points 6 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] 5 points 5 days ago

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

[–] Maggoty 3 points 6 days ago

That last part is a face saving culture reaction. If you're feeling culturally sensitive the thing to do is just move on and see if they do it again.

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!".

[–] [email protected] 36 points 6 days ago

This is why we have codes of conduct.

[–] [email protected] 38 points 6 days ago (1 children)

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.

Well then you're a mean old doody head.

most infurating part of this is the mixing of cases

shitty taste <> "humor"

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

[–] pixxelkick 15 points 1 week ago (6 children)

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

The entire shirt caused me 4d6 psychological damage.

He forgot the "TOP 2" qualifier.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 6 days ago

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