One of the reasons women will find this repugnant is because they didn’t normalize their tables. Should be
boyfriend_id is null.Why is there a separate table for men and women in the first place? Shouldn’t there be a person table with a many to many relationship with itself (because polyamory exists)?
To that point a person table with a relationship table. So this way you can reference relationship between two or more persons within the relationship table and that could be joined to the person table if needed. I don’t think you’d really be able to keep it within one table while exploring multiple relationships unless you’re storing a list of ids that is interpreted outside of sql. Also a relationship table would allow exploring other types of relationships such as exes, love interests, coworkers, family, friends, etc
Yeah it’d be a person table, and the relationship table indicating the ids of shipped couples. Do you think there’d need to be a status in the relationship table so we can tombstone exes? Or maybe started and ended date columns for each relationship so we can figure out whose cheating on who. But when about on-off relationships then? How would we model Ross and Rachel?
I think wed just need the following
- rel.id (primary key)
- rel.user_id (foreign key to person.id)
- rel.user_id2 (foreign key to person.id)
- rel.type (type of relationship)
- rel.start (non null)
- rel.end
From there you don’t need a rel.status because you’re not updating this rel.id entry except for the rel.end. if they started dating again later it would be a whole new entry, and then you could query their entire dating history to see if they keep coming back to the same person, dating around, playing the field, etc. Separately there could be a friendship relationship that is tracked so you could if they ended being friends after a breakup.
I guess everyone sets up their own tables.
For that matter, why is waist size a Boolean?
They allowed business logic to pollute the DB table, and “small waist” is a defined range in some confluence doc somewhere.
Or this is an analytics database where these are well-defined dimensions added for segmentation logic. 🤷
The dream
And why is cuteness and craziness binary?
Or, if you allow for polyamory and non-hetero relationships, you probably need a rel table (and some joins in the query).
Maybe GIRLS is just a view…
That structure doesn’t handle polyamorous and cheating relationships very well. It should probably have
and (select top 1 1 from dbo.relationships r where r.partner_a != GIRLS.id or r.partner_b != GIRLS.id)which would handle also LGBT+ relationships or relationships that are better represented as a graph.
I would reject this pull request. Why is the indenting all over the place? Why is your keyword capitalisation all over the place? WHY YELLOW?!
Edit: the more I look at this the more it pisses me off. Wtf is going on with your kerning? Just random number and placement of spaces. Also, why is the table name in caps? Who does that? Select * is lazy. Do you really need every field about a girl? Really? Worst of all, not a limited request. I sware this is just the kind of thing that would return 30 million rows and brick the database for twenty seconds.
You are now a Certified Rejector. Stay sharp, keep the wheel rolling.
You forgot some: Why is there no space after SELECT?
Why are boyfriend and smallwaist not questions like is_cute and is_crazy? Either all boils are with a verb or none.
Also why is smallwaist not in snake case? It should be small_waist (or better yet has_small_waist or even better waist = “small”)
Also also boyfriend should be null not false, this would solve multiple issues.
And finally the only positive thing is the * itself, because selecting only body would be even worse. 🤣
I would like to subscribe to your newsletter.
Shouldn’t boyfriend be a reference to another table?
BF has no referential integrity
That’s (part of) why it should be a separate table to map the relation “Relationship”. People can have more than one (polyamory, infidelity), and you could track fields like the start, end, status (e.g. flirting, dating, committed, engaged, married, ended) in there.
This is why we have codes of conduct.
At least he’s wearing the red flag on the outside.
I can already imagine a 40-something year old manager coming into work wearing this
most infurating part of this is the mixing of cases
SELECT * FROM “GIRLS” WHERE good = yes
Who says programmers don’t have a sense of humor?
No one. It’s just what you pretend people say to make yourself feel like some kind of special exception.
me. I said it.
Well then you’re a mean old doody head.
Gonna sound racist but deal with it.
I constantly meet asian developers (Singapore , India, China, etc) with this edgelord personality. They come to American conferences and meetups, say some wild sexist shit, and someone has to politely let them know not to.
Some backtrack. Some apologize. Some literally freeze up and pretend like it didn’t happen.
We do still live in a bubble in the west. We’re fighting for equity across genders and race, while some parts of the world are still questioning if sexual harassment against women at work is really that big of a deal.
Many of my guy coworkers have been (and are) sort of misogynistic, and homophobic (I’m in India). It makes me really uncomfortable. Might start reporting people to HR one day.
Just get to know HR first. They might be mysogynists themselves (even if they are female).
This is the most Indian shit I have seen this week.
shitty taste <> “humor”
This is not funny and any man wearing this would probably not pass a similar test using any woman’s criteria. If I saw someone wearing this my first thought would certainly not be “hey this is a guy with a great sense of humor and I would like to hang with him!”.
Most SQL Dbs use bits, so it would be
WHERE field = 1The entire shirt caused me 4d6 psychological damage.
What is 4d as a numeric format prefix? I only know 0b and 0x. Is it some 4-24 system?
Here 4d6 is Dungeons and Dragons (etc.) shorthand for “roll four six-sided dice and add up the numbers”.
Should be
age > (my_age / 2) +7Why would there be an age and my_age column on the table GIRLS?
Good point.
Should be
age > (@my_age / 2) +7FTFOP - now my age is some value defined outside the immediate query.
More likely, the GIRLS would be a view of some table persons and you could query
my_agefrom that table too.Thank you. I assumed the reader would be educated enough to guess I meant a variable. But yeah, should used @my_age
Pretty sure “People who know enough about SQL to know about variables” is a subset of “People who know enough about SQL to be pedantic about it” :p
A fair point :D
Because for each girl you meet, you might tell her a different age.
Or (my_age - 7) * 2 < age < (my_age / 2) +7`
Uh, no no. The rule is “half my age plus seven”. I’ve no idea what your other term is supposed to represent.
He’s saying it goes both ways. The upper limit is a women who you would be half her age plus 7.
This “rule” only works for a small set of ages from 14 ~ 30ish
If you are 14 then the range for “age” is 14 - 14
If you are 30 then the range for “age” is 22 - 46
If you are 40 then the range for “age” is 27 - 66At 30 the upper level is 16 years different; while it could work it is a big gap to bridge. It only gets worse the older you get.
