According to many comments, the US government DOES use SQL, and Musk is not understanding much what's going on.

This retard thinks the government doesn't use SQL...

The more this dipshit talks about programming the more I'm convinced that he's got absolutely no clue how any of it works. Like, he's famous for creating PayPal, I'm really wondering if he paid someone to code that shit and just took credit (and all the money from its sale).

This sounds just like a former manager that thought nosql was the end all and that SQL had no place.

If course they developed their app that required frequent data migrations because they were in fact very dependent on all the records matching the latest schema.

Someone needs to explain to Musk how to debug with the JSON so that the ipv6 GUI does not overflow into the git API front-end

Easy. Just defragment the kernel flux, water root but do not saturate the soil, and then set the virtual tensors to sigWumbo++. If you saturated root then set the tensors to asyncoMumbo-- to account for the extra conductivity. After that refragment the kernel flux because it was happy that way.

Wumbo++ is by far my favorite development tool

When Elon bought Twitter, I realised right away I'd need to close my account.

What made me hurry up exporting my data and closing the account were the reports of Elon Musk personally fucking with the systems, and the subsequent glitches and outages. Had to get it done while the site was still moderately functional.

And they just let this guy get his hands on actually important national computer infrastructure? Fucking hell.

Sounds like he got confused looking at a view of a join.

Not even that complicated - SSN are not unique, by design. The combination of SSN and name is supposed to be, but for most of the history of the program no one was actually checking for that so it really isn't either. Until something like 2014 the first 5 digits of your SSN were basically a code for where you were born and the last 4 were just assigned in order.

That, or he doesn't understand composite keys.

If SSN based fraud is the program then let's establish an actual federal identification number. Even the Social Services bureau tried to get everyone to not use it as the end all source of truth. They only created it for social security benefits, literally only that purpose.

He got community-noted for being wrong. Per usual, it's only a matter of time before he deletes his post.

[–] [email protected] 38 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

More likely, he'll delete the community note

[–] AstridWipenaugh 26 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

More likely, he'll delete the database.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 4 hours ago

Shit, I'd love for him to delete the twitter databases
