I've largely given up on pull requests.... for sake of sanity. But I waded back in...
I made a pull request today... and I very strategically choose to do it with minimal of features so that it would just go through... and I got lectured that JOIN is never a concern and that filtering based on the core function of the site (presenting fresh meat to readers) was a bad use of the database. I've never seen hazing on a project like this. Memcached and Redis should be discussed every day as "why are we not doing what every website does?", but mum is the word.
That's quite concerning. Would you have a link to that PR? Curious to see the exchange
I already feel like I have to keep sticking my neck out to get them to question if using the ORM and a dozen JOIN statements isn't a problem.... but I guess I'll link it: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/3900
As stated on my Lemmy user profile, I'm "RocketDerp" on GitHiub.
Honestly, the reason I keep making noise is because I'm sick of Lemmy crashing all the time when I come to use it... and I am on many servers that this happens. I really am not trying to piss off the developers, I even said I felt like I am being hazed, and I feel like hazing in general might explain what is going on with how much they are avoiding the elephant in the ROOM that ORM and a dozen JOIN might be the cause! Let alone the lack of Redis or Memcached addition being avoided, that's a second elephant on the second floor tap-dancing.... GitHub Issue 2910 was the straw that broke my back weeks ago, it took months for them to address it when it could be fixed in a couple hours (and it was weeks before the Reddti API deadline at the end of June.... and issue 2910 was neglected). The whole thing was a nightmare for me to watch...
Dude, chill. Even if you're right, having a meltdown on github doesn't help anybody. Go outside and take a breath.
I'm glad for you that mental control is so trival and you aren't near death in your life from your brain damage.
I just got back from dinner ant the months of hazing I've witnessed hasn't gone away. The level of social games being played with PostgreSQL in this project are levels beyond anything I've encountered in my 50+ years alive. And I've first hand seen Bill Gates and his team do all kinds of odd things to groups.
I am at a total loss to explain why such fundamentals of basic relational database are avoided in this project. If it isn't social hazing, what is it?
You're putting too much importance into this matter. If this is distressing you should let it go and think about something else.
The apologists come out of the woodwork around here who can't see an SQL statement for what it is, a charade. Anyone who has worked with SQL knows that this is bloated SQL statement and poorly engineered.
I notice the scientific facts of server crashing and SQL statements you won't discuss, but you sure dish out the social advice for me to "move along" like a Jedi mind trick. Let's talk about the human attraction to truth and honesty since you are so great at handing out life advice to people. What do you know about the works of Marshall McLuhan on media?
Repeating: Its’ as if the mere concept of Redis or Memcache never existed… and that nobody ever heard of JOIN performance problems. If it isn’t extreme social hazing, what is it?
