Oh don’t get me started on SQL Server either. That’s the most maintenance-heavy, hands on approach I’ve ever seen. “Do one thing and do it well” doesn’t apply, you’ve got to manage every dumb knob that shouldn’t matter to you as an end-user.

Yet as a developer I’m expected to deal with crazy stuff like ASCII, weird encoding standards for email, Punycode, etc. but MySQL developers couldn’t figure out how to encode characters properly while dumping the database?
I guess what gets me is that it’s writing to a UTF-8 file so you’d expect that file to contain UTF-8 only. Hell, I’d take UTF-8 with Base64 encoded data for binary data over the hodgepodge .sql file coming out of the thing.
Oh I completely agree, but I’m tasked with dealing with a variety of database servers in my work.
Me too (exact same year)! It weirds me out when people are like “you never went back to the office?” Back? Why would I go in the first place? 🤣
It’s weird that the harder he leans into MAGA the more he looks like a Sith lord.
At a higher level / more generally speaking, if it’s a TikTok trend it’s probably best not to do it. In fact, simply not using TikTok is probably the best solution.
My wife works in the dental industry and typically has two weeks off around Christmas time. Despite having three weeks of PTO built up, I didn’t take the time off because we have some trips planned for the upcoming year.
It was very difficult working from home while she was here. It’s generally difficult to concentrate on work during the holidays anyway with all the chaos of random days off, annoying social obligations, gift giving and all that. To add to it, I really don’t appreciate having no daylight hours to do anything other than work.
I almost find it more stressful to have PTO at my current cushy job than it was having only unpaid time off at my prior jobs. The stress of managing it and trying not to waste it on pointless errands is tremendous.
I always have to take a shower when I come home from a day of public transportation. Shit’s nasty as hell.
This is great but I don’t understand the six inch Subway sub reference
This is probably the biggest part of my NYE.
Right, but if you’re telling the software to encode a file as UTF-8 maybe the software should actually encode it as UTF-8.
