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

He definitely doesn't know what deduplicated means...

[–] RejZoR@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 hour ago

A pretentious asshole billionaire is going to be preaching us about massive fraud. Because he totally earned all his wealth through back breaking honest hard work. Give me a fucking break.

Tax dollars are definitely being stolen... by this unelected buffoon

[–] Snowclone@lemmy.world 6 points 2 hours ago

No no, billionaires would never steal money after closing down oversight and watchdog agencies, then brazenly starting a new ''office of mysterious authority you don't get to background check that operates in the dark'' and using it to access the most sensitive parts of US government fictionallity. That's crazy talk!

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).

[–] sanpedropeddler@sh.itjust.works 32 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

He didn't create PayPal. He co-founded x.com, and was replaced as ceo for being inexperienced in less than a year. x.com later merged with confinity, which operated PayPal. It was at this point that musk returned as CEO, until he got kicked out again in 2000.

I'd bet a million dollar one of his lil baby faced goons did an export to .csv so Leon could open it up in excel, do a remove duplicate values, and send it back and have the goon could glaze him for being a genius.

I'd bet that the government is probably the largest user of SQL. Unless there are really old systems that predate SQL. I'd imagine they have shitloads of COBOL for example.

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

SQLite was literally invented within the US military.

[–] cadekat@pawb.social 4 points 1 hour ago

[D. Richard Hipp] designed SQLite in the spring of 2000 while working for General Dynamics on contract with the United States Navy.

Well today I learned!

[–] conicalscientist@lemmy.world 13 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Where did this come from? Is this a precursor to pushing some blockchain shit or something?

[–] bitchkat@lemmy.world 12 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] rwtwm@feddit.uk 3 points 3 hours ago

There was a period in my life when I had to remind people frequently that NoSQL stood for 'not only SQL'.

[–] const_void@lemmy.ml 39 points 6 hours ago (3 children)

He sure is loose with that r-word…

[–] scala@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 hours ago

His father used to call him that. Makes sense he uses it lightly.

Those who live is Asperger's house shouldn't be casting retarded stones.

It gets a reaction and that lets him feel something.

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

[–] Sabata11792@ani.social 17 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] jacecomix@sh.itjust.works 7 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Wumbo++ is by far my favorite development tool

[–] Sabata11792@ani.social 5 points 4 hours ago (1 children)
[–] snugglesthefalse@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Does Wumbo# count? I'd like to be part of something

I'll usually throw a little Amanda code in there to stay by my side.
