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

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

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).

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.

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

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.

[–] bitchkat@lemmy.world 8 points 1 hour 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.

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

He sure is loose with that r-word…

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 10 points 2 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 4 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Wumbo++ is by far my favorite development tool

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

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.

Problem is you can't shut down your account with the government because that's your everything. That's your identity, that's your retirement, that's your unemployment. And he's been given carte blanche to fuck with it in any way he feels like by the giant orange douchebag who thinks Elmo's a fucking genius. And the Republican Congress is either unwilling or too scared shitless of his billion$ to get in his way.
