The only people I know who actually call it ess queue ell are either too new to know the “sequel” pronunciation, or the type of person you generally smell before you see.
Here in Germany everyone I know pronounces the letters individually – as German letters that is, which means the Q is pronounced “coo” rather than “cue”. I don’t mind it, it’s not quite as clunky as in English.
I say ess cue ell for the sake of uniformity because it’s not Mysequel nor Postgresequel and the language changed from Sequel to the acronym SQL in the 70s so not really in the “too new” ballpark anymore.
I think those make sense as deviations. I’ve heard “my sequel” but you’re absolutely right about postgresql.
The name is kinda irrelevant like hard vs soft g in gif. People know what you mean when you say either.
But in that same vein, the creator of the “graphics interchange format” says the pronunciation is soft g, but basically everyone says hard g… So “official” pronunciation is kinda irrelevant.
I don’t judge anyone who uses whichever term they want, but I’ve just noticed the general trend in my smallish interaction bubble.
I’m neither, I refuse to pronounce acronyms if it doesn’t make sense to do so.
Same thing with ‘gooey’ for GUI, except I hate that even more because that straight up elicits feelings of disgust, I don’t want anything gooey anywhere near any electronics
At the very least I’d try to clean up that fuzzy condition on behavior to anticipate any bad or inconsistent data entry.
WHERE UPPER(TRIM(behavior)) = ‘NICE’
Depending on the possible values in behavior, adding a wildcard or two might be useful but would need to know more about that field to be certain. Personally I’d rather see if there was a methodology using code values or existing indicators instead of a string, but that’s often just wishful thinking.
Edit: Also, why dafuq we doing a select all? What is this, intro to compsci? List out the values you need, ya heathen ;)
Honest question, which ones wouldn’t it work with? Most add a semicolon to the end automatically or have libraries and interfaces saved me a million times?
I’m not sure how including a final semicolon can protect against an injection attack. In fact, the “Bobby Tables” attack specifically adds in a semicolon, to be able to start a new command. If inputs are sanitized, or much better, passed as parameters rather than string concatenated, you should be fine - nothing can be injected, regardless of the semicolon. If you concatenate untrusted strings straight into your query, an injection can be crafted to take advantage, with or without a semicolon.
You need semicolons if it is a script with multiple commands to separate them. It is not needed for a single statement, like you would use in most language libraries.

Heck, even if you subscribed to every streaming service out there, some companies simply refuse to make shit available to you.
I once gave Crunchyroll a try here in Europe. I figured there’d at least be something on there that I’d watch, right? Turns out, everything halfway decent wasn’t available in my region. And you COULD get the good stuff on some other service… except that one’s region locked as well, so you can’t get that one here. Oh and even if you think of buying anime on Blu-Ray? Tough luck, that’s not sold in your region due to rights fuckery. Basically, there’s no way for me to legally watch and/or buy particular content.
Piracy is and always has been an access problem. If you make it impossible to acquire legally, well, people will do it illegally.
That’s why so few people yarrr music. It’s pretty much accessible everywhere, on different platforms, for reasonable prices, with mostly good UIs. I mean, there’s always that person who has 10+ TB of FLAC files on their server and good for them but most people just pay the [equivalent of 10 USD] per month (or less on a family plan) to get access to everything at a reasonable quality (I mean, you get 1400 Kbit/s FLACs with Deezer Premium). As other people here have said, it’s always an access and convenience thing.
Exactly. I used to carry an iPod with loads of music on it. So did everyone else. But these days, nobody even uses an MP3 player. Heck, I don’t have a single MP3 on my phone. Streaming through YouTube Music is all I really need. And it works great for my normie taste in music.
Now, my brother is really into video game midi music and such, so he does have a digital collection of files. But for us normal people, downloading music is simply a thing of the past.
I am all for purchasing or licensing content that I enjoy. 100%. But that assumes the content owner is willing to take my money. I have no sympathy for people who refuse to let me give them my money who then turn around and cry “noooooooo, piracy is ruining us!!!”.
This is even worse with audio books. Book was written decades ago, read twenty years ago, and I’m supposed to give them $15-50 to listen to it? Get the fuck out of here.
I mean, there’s a lot of work that goes into recording and editing the audio for an entire book. As well as desire for good talent to do the reading and acting is an important part of audio books as well.
(said by someone who has never purchased an audiobook outside of humble bundle and sailed the high seas for the others)
This is actually one thing your local library is great about. A lot of them use a service called Libby. It’s free, works for the most part, automatically returns, and your ISP won’t “strike” you for slipping up lol
Yes let me buy a DRM free file download I can use on any of my devices for a reasonable price and I’ll give you my money… Unfortunately only piracy offers that currently. (Except books and games, which I do pay for).
I don’t know how the music industry figured it out. They have like six different licensing agencies, but somehow Spotify has all the music I want in one place.
Meanwhile on video side, every single content creator wants their own distribution channel.
It still works on Firefox and Chrome. If it’s not working, the likely culprit is Hardware Acceleration needs to he turned off, which you can also do on both browsers.
I made the mistake of purchasing a movie advertised as 4k on YouTube once. They wouldn’t let me view it higher than 480p on my PC. They also had the audacity to claim it was because too many people were streaming during COVID. Never ever again.
And it’s adopted brother for TV shows, “yes but only the 3rd, 5th, and 12th episodes of the first season, first 3 of the second, none of the 3rd but the ENTIRE 4th season (excluding the finale), and the rest are easily available from 4 other streaming services. Isn’t this so much better? :)”
“I tried to load an ad and failed and forgot where you were in the show so I’m just gonna start over. Oh hey it’s the beginning of the show, have an ad.”
“Oh, you’re paying a little extra to limit advertising interruptions? Oh sorry! That only works on pre-roll and post-roll ads. Enjoy your fucking Mid(t)roll ad that you can’t fucking skip!”
“I’m aware that you’re paying nearly $30 a month for our Ad-Free tier; but this content creator still demands we put Ads on this shit. Here’s an Ad!” Crashes and refuses to begin playback again when your browser that’s configured to block those ads blocks it.
The guy rotated his hips to ask the streaming booth to his left if they have the movie, thus his feet were still aimed at the booth in the first panel.
No, apparently Overdrive offers digital delivery of movies now as well as books. I haven’t tried it yet, though, but they have been great for checking out library books on my phone.
That’s cool. But the idea of a due date on digital media is also completely absurd, just give me the file. The entire point of libraries is to freely share information after all.
One note about the due date thing: There’s no fees because it’s automatic.
They gotta play ball with license holders to offer any kind of service like this at all lol. As much as I also agree with “freely distribute all the things”
I also believe things that are free to copy and distribute should be free, but public institutions have to work within the legal framework we have and a digital library analogue is a perfectly adequate and painless work-around. Besides, you can typically check things out for weeks at a time, so it’s not like you’ll be pressured to watch it fast.
