@taralx Its*. Dang autocorrect.

@NfNitLoop ("Cody C. #BLM") replied to a tweet by @NfNitLoop:

@taralx As loose as SQLite is with enforcing types, it does have a nice feature in that it’s schema includes the entire text of your CREATE TABLE statement, including comments. That would partly satisfy my desire to explicitly define some things.

COMMENT ON is a PITA to use and read.

@NfNitLoop ("Cody C. #BLM") replied to a tweet by @taralx:

@taralx Oh, I’ll be doing checks in the application logic too. (In particular for some logic that’s difficult to express as DB constraints.)

But because I know other teams may read/use my schema, I like to be explicit about what rules I can.

@NfNitLoop ("Cody C. #BLM") replied to a tweet by @taralx:

@taralx (In PG, at least) “NO ACTION” is almost equivalent to “DENY”, the only difference being when in the transaction the error is raised.

@NfNitLoop ("Cody C. #BLM") replied to a tweet by @NfNitLoop:

I want to keep some data around longer than the things it references, because that data might one day get cleaned up, but I need the old data. So, I can't use a foreign key. But now my DB doesn't know/declare that this column's actually just referencing a key in another table.

@NfNitLoop ("Cody C. #BLM") wrote:

Creating some database schemas today. I wish (Pg)SQL had a "WEAK REFERENCE" type to:

1. Explicitly declare the relationship between tables.
2. Ensure that foreign keys exist when I insert rows.
3. But NOT delete this row when the referenced row gets deleted.

@gcouprie Whatever bytes (Tweet)NaCL gives me. TBH didn’t even know there were different serializations for those keys. They’re so tiny!

@NfNitLoop ("Cody C. #BLM") replied to a tweet by @gcouprie:

@gcouprie In FeoBlog, I serialize public keys and signatures as base58. For private keys I use base58check. (Easier to check typos that way before using the wrong secret key. Plus the size difference makes it easy to distinguish pub/priv.)

I was far into this tweet before realizing it wasn’t about software developers.

Those building codes that exist for physical buildings? … I’ve never seen an equivalent in software. Imagine how *that* is getting built.

as a guy who has worked with my fair share of developers i don’t think it should be controversial to say that if plumbing wasn’t required by code they’d be building apartments without it. there are legal minimum standards because if there weren’t, developers wouldn’t do them

Why is it impossible to to learn C++ remotely, having to instead be in-person?

Because if the C++ class were fully virtual, then it would be a Java class.

The GOP's favored news outlet is telling its audience of vulnerable seniors that encouraging people to get updated boosters is "govt covid propaganda," and celebrating that uptake is low.

In a related story, Republicans are dying of COVID at higher rates than Democrats.

A random unattended 7yo at the park told me and my son that gay people are the devil and are going to hell. My son scoffed, but the boy said it was true because God said so. I told him parents made up God to make their kids do what they want. His eyes got so big.
