A lot of people are finding LLMs more useful than Google search.

I think a huge part of that is that Google and web in general has massively deteriorated in terms of finding clear, concise answers. Even if you can find it, it's covered in ads, cookie popups and so on.

But LLMs will inevitably follow the same path - investors want their returns. And the complete non transparency of LLMs will make it even worse this time around. Is that really the best answer or is it sponsored?

Another db question! I'm using migration files whenever I make a change to the db. When I'm doing dev, whats a good source of truth for the current structure of the tables (column names, types and so on)? I could app switch to my db admin app but I'd prefer a quick way to reference inside VS Code

@tommyp Yeah knex, will have a look. It's not actually needed in my codebase I just want a reference to check as I do dev

I have a database question - say you have an items table and a messages table, and messages can refer to items. If someone needs to delete an item, you can't because of the foreign reference in messages.

I know you could 'soft delete' - set a status column to deleted, but what if you really need to delete, for example because the content is illegal or the user has a legal right to delete it?

@jonodrew I think it would be poor ux if your messages disappeared because the other person deleted an item... I'm thinking soft delete but replace the content with 'This was deleted' or similar

joelanman,
@joelanman@hachyderm.io avatar

@truls46 yeh.. but I think it would be weird ux for the other person to suddenly have messages disappear

joelanman,
@joelanman@hachyderm.io avatar

@kornel yeh, I'm concerned about the ux though - that the other person would have messages just disappear. I'm leaning to soft delete, and replace contents with 'deleted' or similar

joelanman,
@joelanman@hachyderm.io avatar

@jonty I want to have an image of the item and a link to it in the message thread, and I also want to avoid that just disappearing. I think soft delete with replacing the contents might work

joelanman,
@joelanman@hachyderm.io avatar

@jonty No just to avoid messages that refer to it disappearing in a thread, I probably haven't explained it very well

joelanman,
@joelanman@hachyderm.io avatar

@jonty That would mean it can only be in one message though? Different users can discuss the same item

joelanman,
@joelanman@hachyderm.io avatar

@jonty From all, I think the soft delete and replacing the content should work, otherwise the message just disappears with no explanation

really don't like how many files want to be in the root folder of a project. What about a folder for them? config or project or something

I do not know why I struggle to use Mastadon a lot. When I’m in the feed something about the way the UI is displayed in the app I use doesn’t process well.

@kieranmcguire @hdv they are excellent, I hadnt seen them all. And oh boy, the default position is not anchored? That seems like a very poor decision
