  • I think Postgres could win the MisSql pageant

    Snowflake and DuckDB would be up there doing 10 different talents, then Postgres would just stand there and say “uh huh, I do that too” to thunderous applause!

    SQLite would win the swimsuit competition but then struggle with concurrent writes during talent show and get disqualified. The judges would always get its name wrong.

    Big query would get caught copying Snowflake and bribing the judges. Presto/Trino would require a full team to get dressed for the costume contest and miss the event.

    MySQL wouldn’t win any single event, but would get high scores all around for unknown reasons.

    MongoDB would be at the front desk trying to convince the judges to let it enter, and while doing that would accidentally drop a suitcase filled with business and government secrets.







  • I started a project with “I’ll just build a simple entity component system”

    I quickly abandoned it because that does not work at all if you have not planned out all of the features you’ll use.

    With all the features modern games have, and their portability across platforms and graphics stacks, yeah it’s damn impressive these things work.






  • That’s how I feel, and I was between SDL and just writing GL code myself.

    The problem is I run Mac and OpenGL is at best neglected and is deprecated. If I use webgl and wasm I done have to worry about any of that, and they have sdl for wasm.

    Edit: my game is going to be 2d and the UI isn’t going to be more complex than raylib. I’m just playing around but also building an idea I’ve had for years.








  • Same here, was on Reddit since 2010.

    I remade an account because some of my communities aren’t big enough here. But the quality of interaction through the fediverse is much much better.

    For sports, Reddit has utterly ruined them because in the app they show the results for every F1 Grand Prix as soon as the race finishes in an unremovable “trends” tile. I often can’t watch live, and so I had almost every race this season spoiled.
