Writing essays is a skill in itself, not sure how you’d acquire that skill without practicing it

Outstanding to me that my only actual claim – that civilian humans were in fact killed during the infamous protests – is one that you folks actually do accept, albeit reluctantly, but y’all still got your knickers in a twist and are ascribing all sorts of stereotypes to me in your head.

Is agnetic a typo? I don’t known that word.

Can’t tell you how much your sympathy means to me, comrade

It’s cool how you deny the agency and personhood of the protestors by outright stating that they were all plants by ‘western countries’. Very enlightened!

Pla deaths outnumbered protestor deaths? Jeez, what’re you smoking? Even the Chinese govt didn’t claim that. And why are you thankful that ‘protests are impossible now’? Do you truly relish the political disenfranchisement of the populace so much? Smh my head

Do you… think that there were no protestor deaths at tiananmen square?

Because repetition is an effective way of convincing people to accept a narrative, and meme channels tend to be more widely subbed than others.

Misleading with statistics can certainly be done in some contexts, but it’s harder to do that than it is to be wrong with just ‘I have a gut feel bro’. The breakdown by income quartile here is, like, directly the narrative that the stats are intended to support and clearly a larger impact that immigration because… Well… Quartiles are quite big…

Getting back from holiday in a few hours and the weather is cold? Turn the heating on from your app before you get back. Wow. Life changing. Don’t have a use case for most things being connected but thermostat really isn’t that crazy IMO.

If my dentist is a racist, should I not go to the dentist? Seems like letting my oral hygiene suffer because of it would be a case of cutting off my nose to spite my face. In your search for a life lived in ideologically purity have you found some acceptable alternative?

Good for you babes, but I wouldn’t trust you to wipe your arse if you can’t even keep data consistent

Jesus fucking Christ man, not everyone’s use cases are your use cases. Get some real world experience. If you don’t know the kinda shit you have to actually do, it’s easy, but sometimes the show’s just gotta go on

No u

Lol what an absurd take. A transaction is a sequence of operations, not a single one, so even small tables can meet that threshold with enough query logic. I guess you’re unfamiliar with medium to large datasets, but it’s not uncommon to use the aggregate functions that SQL provides in real world situations, and on large tables that can easily reasonably exceed 1s. Toy my arse. Go play with yourself

Although this is no surprise tbh because apparently you don’t understand why transactions are even necessary. Benchmarks shmenchmarks. Whether it works is more important.

I do not apologise for the downvote because this is smug shit only a junior would say

But adding it to an 80ms operation is. If your operation is 0.5ms it’s either a read on a small table, or maybe a single write – transaction isolation wouldn’t even be relevant there. You’re right that I did mean consistency rather that integrity though, slip of the terminology, but not really worth quibbling over. The point I meant was that I like my data to make sense, a funny quirk of mine.

Well it depends how much data integrity is worth to you, and how your system works. Every write in postgres is already a transaction - when you can get away with simple crud stuff, often there’s nothing to do, you have transactionality already. Transaction isolation levels are where db operation costs might change under concurrent conflicting writes but you can tune that by ensuring single-writer-per-partition or whatever in your server logic and it might add a ms or two. OTOH if you have heavy contestation it can be much more expensive. The performance implications are complicated but can certainly kept to a fraction of overall cost depending on your workload!

In return they get an actually secure messing app they can use without having to support it themselves. Which is pretty big.

Restarts in a server between dB updates that in a sane world would be txns I meant (e.g update A, crash so don’t update B). Anyway, in postgres they’re pretty cheap in the absence of actual conflict – more expensive if you have actual cinflicts, obvs.
