That's so dark - doesn't sound healthy.

But interesting that it works for you. Thank you for sharing

My role is Lead Developer. So yes.

What's your background?

Mashable confirmed with Reddit that messages and chat history are no longer available if they were made prior to January 1, 2023.

Retain only half a year worth of content? What the fuck? That's absurd.

In our continued pursuit of empowering communities, we are transitioning to a new chat infrastructure, shared in our previous updates here and here. In an effort to have a smooth and quick transition to this new infrastructure, …

If you can migrate 6 months' worth of data, how is older data any different? The data is there, in the same form. The timespan should not matter at all. It's either the same form, or interfaced to transparently integrate into the existing system - which would allow migration all the same.

A Reddit spokesperson forwarded Mashable a changelog announcement(opens in a new tab) made on June 22 where the company shared that these messages would be removed.

Absolutely absurd.

announcing removal of 18 years of content, of central functionality, announced just 20 days ago, in an obscure place, and after random uninteresting flair navigation and chat channel announcements spanning multiple paragraphs and screenshots.

Baffling.

Acting as if they were managing a personal project that only they themselves use.

This is bullshit.

A DBMS (database management system) handles all the necessary file file synchronisation necessary for simultaneous reading and writing. It's a layer on top. File access sharing does not matter.

On a file you can write data in-place - without having to change surrounding data. You can clear existing data without the need to free the space it used.

Foreign keys in DBMS prevent relations from breaking.

How viable or costly data deletion or removal is greatly depends on your DBMS/storage system and usage pattern. Do you know how Reddit stores their data?

Data may be marked for deletion and regularly be deleted and indices rebuilt. Or it may keep deleted-marked content but clear its data. Both are viable and effectively data deletion. A record that holds no more of its data is no longer the data it was before.

Chrome has other features and potential tracking. But those don't make not using Google as the search engine pointless. You're still cutting away a lot of activity.

Maybe they want to give 60 days grace period instead of 30 days grace period this time.

It's so stupid though. "We will remove the stuff you bought. We won't tell you what we plan to do instead though." smh

Bigger than the earth. That image surely must be right.

It's not wrong to start with whatever / at random. Once you gain some experience you can decide whether to pursue or try something else.

For me it came naturally from my interests and learned capabilities.

You can ask about and try out different jobs to get a bit of insight and more data points for making a decision. Even if you won't have a definite favorite you may find things you consider undesired or desirable for you.

Water cannot itself be wet because you can’t get water on water.

I disagree with this assessment.

Water itself is wet. It's an inherent property.

Water on water changes nothing. It's still wet.

Water is a liquid. Water on something not wet makes it wet - through wet water attachment. It's wet as long as it has water attached.

Something not wet submerged in water consequently must be wet. Although it's not particularly verifyable due to its submerged nature. You touching it means also touching all the water around it. But I don't see how it's wet property would be different from it with only a little water on it.

Thinking of a sponge - it will take in water and be considered wet. This also is the case in water. It won't stay indistinguishable.

The 2 minute rule:

Do right away what only takes two or less minutes.

Extension to it:

Do something for two minutes. (Starting is the hardest part.) May work better with 5 or 10 depending on the task.

If you consciously skip the 2 minute rule, embrace life's absurdity, be positively accepting towards yourself, your skip or inability or incapability.

You don't take other users into account for your morality?

"Do as bad as they do."

Solid, good advice that gets ignored is still solid, good advice.

that’s a big no-no

… that violates the law

What makes you think nobody in their sane mind would delete anything from a production database?

How many people will even notice or read about it? It's not that many of the customers overall.

If it's a net gain they don't care about dissatisfaction or some lost customers.

They're not inherently "supposed to help you quit". That's only if you use them with that superficial intention.

They certainly allow you to reduce or remove nicotine intake - because you can change the fluid.

I saved this image. Now I have your data.

So in this case the shared partial secret key would be a part of the secret. That seems like a bad idea, bad practice for security. But I see how it'd work.

OP asked about validating specific characters of the password. Commenter then said it has to be stored in plain text for that to work. Then you commented about client-side validation. Which I really don't see has anything to do with the stuff before in this thread?

Commenter said it has to be plain text server side. You implied validating client side would allow storing hashed passwords and still validating individual characters of the password. Which I asked how that would work. Your answer to that seems to give a general view of password handling on forms and validation?

How little food intake is enough to sustain extensive (physical) activity.

The little birds running on the beach with every wave, eating mini things. How can those be enough to sustain that much running? And it'll have to sustain them when they're not eating too.

A human can not eat for several days and still stay active. An incredible adaptation. I food conversion, storage, and priority dissolution in a complex system.
