Good morning!
Morning!
Morning! Starting two weeks of vacation today, sorely needed :) now going through some defn podcast episodes 😀

My hope is to stay off the hammock and just zone out playing games on the couch, some piano etc. I’m pretty sure I will get drawn to the computer to redo my blog though 😀
Piano, huh? I was watching this recent interview with Muricio Szabo on Youtube the other day and the observation that the overlap between programmers and people with musical talent seem larger than random would have made it was made. I don’t think I am one of those, but certainly I have observed the correlation, and not just at Spotify. 😃
Good question :) I’ve subscribed to Apple Arcade so probably some casual platformers. I bought an Xbox controller to be able to just lean back and relax. Not a big gamer!
I’m almost done with little Orpheus which I found gorgeous and fun and very easy which suits me just right
If you haven't, try Braid. Excellent little brain tickling platformer
I’m going through Super Mario 3D World at the moment which is also suitable easy. Well, apparently once you beat it, it opens up an endgame containing some of the hardest Mario levels ever, so we’ll see about that in the long run.
@pez The muso/programmer link has been going on for years. I agree in principle but I’d love to see some actual numbers.
Good morning :hugging_face:
Heh, Oracle DB played a trick on me today. What do you think, what does the last line return? 😉
It’s obviously -9
No, they are still flaky 😄 This was the answer to the question “why do we have negative IDs in the DB?”
I guess it has something to do with caching of sequences, and that they never expected a sequence to be modified this way. Guess we should file a bug :thinking_face:
After so much butt ache of sequences in databases I’ve sworn off them. UUIDs or similar work much much better. I wish there was a smaller UUID I could use easily though.
The systems I am building for myself get a UUID, too. It’s much nicer to have an identifier at object creation without the roundtrip to a DB, too
You can, but it takes time 😁
I was reading different opinions about exposing internal IDs to clients; some suggested to use some "obfuscated" id to represent entities to clients (e.g. UUIDs) and keep INTs for internal reference
we use uuid as stable ids, so when we copy data from one database to another one, we don't rely on incremental ids which tend to be a pain for that case
