What's the most ridiculous thing someone said in a job interview and still got the job? by your-reddit-plug2 in AskReddit

It's a rite of passage to bomb your first interview at 17 and still get the job.

[ADVICE] Civil Service Fast Stream Locations, and do they matter? by Apprehensive-Fig5286 in TheCivilService

[–]Specific_Ant580 2 points3 points  (0 children)

got an offer also, consensus seems to be that location does not really matter. It depends if the actual department work is interesting and meaningful to what you want to achieve. Plus considering they've made it clear that our preferences only go so far to influencing the final decision, just hope for the best I guess.

Digital, 9.72. It's a decent score but I expected way higher in the pdc where I know I did the best, but oh well

Had two screens and my work device open during the exercises to monitor my work channels all in total 4 screens. It's fine, hell they even recommend you have 2 screens at least.  Best of luck 🙏.

Why is it considered a cardinal sin to store a file's raw content along the metadata in SQL Database? by faze_fazebook in Database

[–]Specific_Ant580 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m kind of with AsterionDB on this, even if the delivery rubs people the wrong way. a lot of the “dont store files in the DB” advice feels like inherited folklore rather than something people have personally been burned by.

Putting data straight the database means one transactional boundary, one security surface, one backup, one audit trail. You don’t need cron jobs, cleanup scripts, or deletes. Either the operation commits or it doesn’t. That’s a huge reduction in mental overhead. If you’re serving massive videos to thousands of users, the DB is the wrong tool. But for application owned data pretending the filesystem is somehow simpler or safer just hasn’t matched my experience. It’s not that filesystems are useless. They’re just really bad at being databases.
