Infinite Happiness

It's fun to see users come, ask, answer and leave

rene

Once in a while I try to be nice and this is the result....

Infinite Happiness

Admit it, all of us are evil. You can't be nice.

bummi

rene

@InfiniteHappiness we all are sockpuppets of @bart

bummi

8:06 PM

I beg to differ

Infinite Happiness

Bart is the most evil

rene

@bummi granted...

bummi

don't blaspheme about absent

rene

I admit he has some catching up to do when he returns ... that might involve the use of his smiting stick

Infinite Happiness

yes, he needs to use the stick on botling

DroidDev

8:12 PM

I think we should add the botling to wheel of blame. It has earned that much now

bjb568

Infinite Happiness

8:16 PM

When did it graduate to a bot? It's a botling.

DroidDev

@InfiniteHappiness lol, I don't even understand what that is written :P

bjb568

@InfiniteHappiness When it became useful.

I have seen bjb write weird meta posts, don't be surprised if he does go to SF meta. He once posted on MSO, asking for a diamond when I was granted access to a mod room and he wasn't :D

DroidDev

@bjb568 hmm....great! even greater should be not accepting new one

Unless you get your account merged and your account id changes, no double-voting.

Impossible!

9:43 PM

Whoa! I found this person on Stack Overflow who has less than 1k rep and a gold badge that isn't "Famous Question"!

bjb568

Who?

Frank?

101 rep.

Ilmari Karonen

@hichris123 That's a... strange question. It's like "If I take all the cookies from the jar, I get a lot of cookies! Yay! But if I only take the top cookie, I only get one cookie. Why is that?? :("

@bjb stackoverflow.com/users/667580/flcl

bjb568

There's probably a bunch.

The Guy with The Elf Hat

Yeah, but that's the first time I clicked on a random <1k's profile and found a non-"Famous Question" gold badge.

Ilmari Karonen

9:52 PM

Ah, fanatic. Lots of low-rep users have that, especially on smaller sites. The only difficult part about doing it on SO is to hang around for three months without going over 1k.

hichris123

@IlmariKaronen I know, right?

The Guy with The Elf Hat

data.stackexchange.com/stackoverflow/query/261224/…

^^^ Gold badges counts for people less than 1k rep

~93.5% of all gold badges are Famous Question

Ilmari Karonen

@hichris123 What's sort of annoing is that the dupe is clearly better asked, but this one has better answers. :/

I guess I could just answer the other one myself, but I'd really rather not bother. :(

He also has Electorate and Fanatic. :o

And in case you're wondering, here's the edit that got him the badge.

Q: Full text search results in a large amount of time spent in 'FULLTEXT initialization'

I'm currently trying to run some queries against a data dump of Stack Overflow's comments. Here's what the schema looks like: CREATE TABLE `socomments` ( `Id` int(11) NOT NULL, `PostId` int(11) NOT NULL, `Score` int(11) DEFAULT NULL, `Text` varchar(600) NOT NULL, `CreationDate` timesta...

mysql full-text-search

sigh SQL

bjb568

Use mongodb.

hichris123

@bjb568 You honestly think it would handle 20 million rows easily?

bjb568

Yeah.

hichris123

@bjb568 Oh, right, it's NoSQL.

Remember? NoSQL != SQL

bjb568

10:43 PM

So it must be kewl.

hichris123

It's for non-relational data.

bjb568

Eh, you can probably restructure everything.

hichris123

@bjb568 Perhaps, but it isn't meant for relational data.

So there's no point in using it.

bjb568

Yes, but you can make your data not relational.

hichris123

... what?

bjb568

10:45 PM

Eh… complicated.

hichris123

@bjb568 I think you fundamentally misunderstand relational vs. non-relational data.

bjb568

Instead of having tables which you join, you have objects in collections which you nest.

instead of select sum(votes) where votes.on in user's program ids, you have something like sum(user's program's votes)

Frank

The problem with Yahoo answers is that if you actually put detail into a question, it's too long, and no one reads it. But if you don't, everyone answers it, and no one knows what your situation is.

bjb568

…

And also that it's crap?

Frank

sorry that was random

@bjb568 That too.

hichris123

@Behaviour I actually didn't, but it's a nice side effect. :P

When a simple query takes 2 minutes 30 seconds or 3 minutes 30 seconds, you quickly go insane.

Is there an emoticon for going insane?
