If you got offended by my shitposting, lol. lmao.

Notifications stay off because I don’t play chess with pigeons. The fact that you want to argue about a shitpost with a stranger on the internet named “Dookieman” is all I need to know your opinion isn’t worth hearing.

Downvotes are delicious trophies; I’ve seen what you people like. Keep them coming.

    I’ve heard some techs complain that a ‘machine’ can be physical or virtual, but a ‘box’ always refers to a physical machine. I don’t really agree with that distinction; if the difference matters, say “physical machine” or “virtual machine”. In 99% of cases, whether a machine is physical or virtual is a distinction without a difference anyway.

    Just call it a ‘container object’ and you can be technically correct in almost every context.

    See also: in SQL and Dataverse, a row is called a ‘record’, but in SharePoint and Lists, a row is called an ‘item’, and MAN do people get all pissy if you get them mixed up or refer to it as a ‘row’.

    It’s even more aggravating when you understand that 1) they’re all different implementations of the ‘table’ data structure, so the term is still accurate; ‘records’ and ‘items’ are just subsets of ‘rows’, and 2) SharePoint and Lists are just SQL on the backend anyway.

    Like, obviously you knew what I meant, but how is your ego gonna get stroked unless you preach about pedantic details that don’t matter?



  • There’s a phenomenon called “learned helplessness” where people simply don’t realize they’re capable of doing such things for themselves. They hit the limits of their knowledge and instinctively look to another human for answers, failing to realize they’re capable of taking the very same steps as the person they’re asking.

    I’m not making excuses for them, just telling you so you know what to research to understand it better. It’s one of those things, once you know what it is, you start to notice it everywhere.
