  • I'm sorry, you will just have to lose the arm, there's nothing we can do

  • Don't tell me what to do you're not my dad!!

  • Dawww

  • How angy? No airplane!

  • I just view it as a pointless 50 year old squabble, it's current name is SQL to me so S-Q-L it is, ig I didn't have "old timers" to corrupt me during the formative years of my career though so maybe that's why.

    Regardless, my real beef in this is if someone makes hiring/firing/promotion decisions based on that. Like a fun office debate about it, cool, it's whatever. Choosing not to hire or promote someone over something so petty is asinine IMO

  • It isn't pronounceable as a word, it is an initialism because the letters that compromise it do not allow it to be pronounced as a word. Unlike something like NASA which is a full blown acronym because it can be pronounced

    Do you say hetips for HTTPS?

    The sequel thing didn't even start naturally, it picked up this sequel moniker because of some ancient trademark beef in the 70s between the original devs when it was named "Sequel" and some company (That isn't even in business anymore)

    They renamed it SQL and out of protest against the company people continued to call it sequel even though it makes no sense and 50 damn years later here we are. Everybody involved with direct involvement is probably dead or longggg since retired. It wasn't termed because it was easier to say and it sure as hell wasn't termed because its proper.

    If it was originally called SQL and the above never happened, I guarantee it would just be another DNS or HTTP and many many pointless debates about it would have never happened

    Disclaimer, this doesn't apply to the MS product that is called sequel

  • You have been banned from Lemmy․ml

  • forget PostgreSQL’s existence until data corruption.

    Oh, so about 2 hours then LMAO

  • Fuck, the wasp propaganda has infiltrated the Threadiverse!

  • Yup, and it's S-Q-L not sequel (🤢)

  • That's actually a really neat window lol, I kinda want one now xD

    But are you sure it doesn't open? Maybe you need to hold a crystal to it at the right time of day so that sunlight gets focused by it and opens a secret portal to another better timeline!

  • step 5: There are now 57 other ones out there lol

  • Me and some friends wrote an outline for a zombie movie years ago from the viewpoint of the zombies. They see themselves as cultured and "normal" while the living are viewed as savages who waste their lives working, keeping up with the Jones' and addicted to stupid stuff like reality TV. It would have been done in the style of The Office/What We Do In the Shadows, with a film crew following around a small group of Zombies who explain their lives. The zombies would have a very close-knit socialist/utopia type lifestyle while us stupid living lived in a right-wing 'murica hellscape.

    If I was rich, I would be signing over a 500M budget over to you right now

    Sadly, I'm just a Lemming :'(
