A strong tourism industry in a small city does displace everything else. It’s one version of the Dutch disease that actually happens even when the government doesn’t actively cause it.

The examples on the meme don’t bind any variables. If those are lambdas, the Haskell version is just the ... part.

The process to decide to turn power plants on and off isn’t air-gaped.

Wasn’t Claude the one that broke the camel’s back and made people start to make that joke everywhere?

Well… The string of stupid strategic decisions didn’t start near the end. But ok, maybe he got some help on the final ones.

Some species are just perfectly adapted to their niche…

C developers were already writing dynamic arrays before computer data was running through underseas cables.

Aws/Clousdfare are both large, pentagonal blocks that span through all the width.

If the authors followed the rejection of the entire main story-line by rejecting the main characters and making something really different, it would be better. (Keeping Yoda was fine, though.)

It’s hard to cause a large gas explosion by carrying a flame. Gas tends to diffuse, so you get small explosions that dissipate the problem before you reach the large concentrations.

That said, “hard” does not mean “impossible”. History is full of counterexamples. But it is much easier to make trouble by igniting the flame after you are inside.

It’s getting so fucked-up that an overhaul is starting to look likely to me.

What is Microsoft doing?

Whatever it is, it’s not part of the modern digital infrastructure.

If DNS breaks the right way, it can fix the AI problems!

GraphQL has all the right combination of abstracting a really hard problem, ignoring the hard details, and giving you enough toggles to pretend you can solve the worst problems that makes hyping it really, really easy.

Are you expecting oysters to be poisonous?

But the libraries the FB devs publish are considered state of the art on the web frontend community!

And if you complain, there’s always somebody to say “if you are so good, why aren’t you working at FAANG?”

Oh, I didn’t know about digraphs at all. C++ is a really big language.

And wow, that’s a well hidden footgun.

What is happening there?

Is it about templates? I can’t find any reference for that syntax.

It seems that you need to get better. There are plenty of valid complaints against SQL, but your problems seem to be all due to lack of familiarity.

No variables, no functions; Oh but you can do a CTE

Yeah, CTEs are more expressive than variables. And as somebody pointed, every database out there supports functions, you may want to look how they work.

UNION ALL, UNION ALL, UNION ALL… “There’s got to be a better way, surely…”

What do you mean by a “better way”? Union all is a perfectly valid operation.

And then you try put a MAX in a where and it won’t let you because you gotta pull all the maxes out in their own query, make a table, join them in, and use them like a filter…

Window functions exist.

You are missing some of the yeast.

The author seems to not know what a bishop hat looks like and why the piece top looks like that. Or just didn’t care about it.
