but but... SE'S Code is perfect! Except when it explodes into a glorious fireball with much gnashing and wailing like a thousand devs cried out all at once and went silent
Like, there's supposed to be a foreign key there, but... Maybe the thing it was supposed to point to wasn't quite there yet when the record was stored.
That can happen sometimes, since if the aggregator gets busy it runs things backwards

I discovered a strange, blank link in this user's Top Network Posts:
The above link and screenshot are of the user's Unix & Linux site profile, but this issue can be reproduced on any of the user's site profiles other than Meta Stack Exchange (as the blank post appears to be on this site, ...
I am specifically thinking about unsigned int.
Here is a practical example: what do you do when your identity column maxes out? It's possible to either go BigInt (8 bytes storage instead of 4) or to refactor the application to support negative integers, and even to create your own rules as ind...
Well, much of my work is in embedded software where you're constrained in memory...but it seems the designers of SQL Server didn't design it to run on those
@Feeds Huh, back when I lived in a college dorm, our guidelines unofficially forbade personal Wi-Fi routers, so I configured my network to use a "cryptic" name to avoid getting caught.

"The Game" is the 106th episode of the American science fiction television series Star Trek: The Next Generation, the sixth episode of the fifth season.
Riker returns from a vacation on Risa with a game that he is eager to share with the crew. The game is psychotropically addictive, and it quickly turns the Enterprise crew into a mind-controlled pawn of the Ktarians, who are using the devices to gain control of Starfleet. After Data (who, as an android, is unaffected by the game) is incapacitated, only visiting Starfleet Academy cadet Wesley Crusher and young engineering ensign Robin Lefler stand...
This is what it reminds me of.
And I'm not entirely happy to be reminded of that.
