Many things, too many to even remember.

Very bad SQL implementation is a good start, still bad replication support (compared to Postgres), various bugs present for too long…

https://www.sql-workbench.eu/dbms_comparison.html this comparison is a bit out of date, but explains a lot

Postgres is far superior in every way.

We used MySQL (and Percona XtraDB) servers at work, and it is so bad. So I made several presentations showing generic and specific reasons why Postgres is better. I had to cut a lot of content because MySQL is just that bad.

Some things may not seem relevant now, but as you keep the DB around long enough, you will appreciate the whole package of Postgres.

Things that will help a lot, but are extensions:

• pg_partman - for automatic partition management
• patroni - management of replicas, automatic failover - it does everything for you with simple commands

There is a DB comparison matrix, but hasn’t been updated in over a year, which is a shame, but still gives you the idea of how different databases support SQL features: link.

Spoiler: postgres has the most support, with a huge lead

Edit: MySQL is dead last, btw

Not OP, but it’s amazing to choose which parts of your software don’t enter compilation at all.

Also it’s rock solid, had fewer issues than Lubuntu, can use OpenRC or systemd.

But I haven’t learned as much about Linux as I hoped. The distro just works, and I love everything about it.

You know, all this talk about these benefits… when PHP has had this for ages, no BS needed.

I’ll see myself out.

Because that way you give relevancy to that platform, and let it take your data.

Fuck Epic, they should make better products, not give away free shit.

If they ever get any relevant amount of users, they will enshittify so hard you won’t believe it.

“You see what happen to one of you. Are you sure you wanna to through with this?”

It’s not like OpenAI cares about people anyway.

Fuck them, fuck Altman, fuck Microsoft.

There are so many ways to obfuscate things that your approach won’t work.

I have an AMD laptop, have no issues with battery life, works like a charm.

Intel even with their architecture had bigger power draw in desktop CPU than AMD. But dunno about laptops.

Afaik Intel has been dropping the ball for a while now in every segment, low to high.

Are Intel cpus really better in the laptop department? Since in desktop they fell very far behind.

It has KDE, which I believe has something close to it.

Dude, download it from yourself, you will make it to tens of thousands!

Terraria

Not really, the out-of-combat movement was almost strictly 2D? And the first real fight did not teach me the controls in any way, I had no idea what was going on.

I bought it expecting like a Devil May Cry or maybe Souls… then the game started and I noped the hell out. It’s weird and I did not like it at all.

Yes, there’s dozens of us!

Very old packages.

They have security updates, but are usually held back years to ensure stability.

LoL sucks, it’s like a shallow copy of DotA. I’ve played around 300 hours, it’s very silly in comparison.

Stellaris is kinda easy once you figure out that expanding is the No1 priority for the entire game. Expand, build ships - nobody will be able to stop you.

There was always a need for a ‘tall’ empire - so you don’t expand, but focus on your small part of the galaxy - but so far it’s always crushed by the expanding ones.

Once you get stargate tech, it’s 24/7 war. For even more territory.

Right now I remembered a game that never was really finished, Stardrive, where you could design your own ships down to the electrical wiring. It had layouts with sections, and you could fill it up to your liking. It was a shame that ground troops could finish the game in minutes.

Sometimes I feel like 4X games are usually more suited for roleplaying than actual challenge of micromanagement.

Anyway, I have a huge jam on my main line in OpenTTD, gotta fix my intersection again.

Dota 2.

I’ve played Dwarf Fortress, Stellaris, yet I still find Dota to be the most complex game ever.

It sucks that it’s a multiplayer game, and you need people to play it well with you, but when it works, it’s amazing.

Everything in it has layers of usability, usually componded by the everything else in the game - hero abilities, items, map, neutrals, even the stupid trees play a large role in the game.

I’ve spent hundreds of hours studying the mechanics, and I still don’t grasp everything.

I played a lot of DotA too, but that doesn’t have a playtime counter. But I have over 3000 hours in Dota 2.

My second favourite game is OpenTTD. It’s just so satisfying to optimize the train network and add another 100 trains to it. I’ve tried Factorio, but for some reason that did not scratch that itch.

Or some roguelites, like Slay the Spire (or the Touhou: Lost Branch of Legend), Synthetik (haven’t tried second one yet), they are always fun.

Artifact? Both of them?
