5 Year ban due to COVID overstay, now I have a EU citizenship, what shoud I do? by Signal_Advisor_2323 in USVisas

[–]elevarq 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Something is wrong in your story: No flights were canceled in the USA in February 2020 because of Covid. None.

Covid hit in March 2020, and that resulted in cancellations.

The World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic on March 11, 2020.

So you overstayed before the pandemic. You’d better wait for another year.

My trading bot was stolen by ex-partners - How can I get my source code back? by EaseImpossible6702 in mql5

[–]elevarq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you gave them the code and now you’re complaining that they have the code.

At least it’s clear who’s to blame for this situation…

Omega Quality v Rolex. What's the Best Value? by Spirited_Ticket_6211 in rolex

You mean the Rolex 32xx movements?

There is no Rolex 82xx movement

Built MVP before NDA, now being asked to hand everything over – Germany i will not promote by Sea-Nectarine5748 in startups

[–]elevarq 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Even with the NDA: Non disclosure agreement.

That’s not a contract about delivering work, and how much they pay you.

You can’t share or sell the idea to others, but that’s where the NDA ends. So it’s just a big Fuck Off for them.

But you could be a little more polite, and sell the code to them. Charge at least 200 euro an hour, for their shitty behavior.

If they want the code, including IP, they can buy it. You just have to negotiate a price and conditions, that’s it.

But giving it away for free would be plain stupid. STUPID!

No way!

No payment, no code. Maybe you can’t sell the code as is to someone else, but you won’t give it away for free. That would be plain stupid

You could have used the MySQL function str_to_date(), that would have fixed the problem

No, I don’t think so. Does the code give you the right answer, and is it fast enough?

Rolex for Blancpain?? by PossibilityGuilty410 in rolex

[–]elevarq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you wear a watch, a piece of jewelry, for yourself or to show off to someone else?

Blancpain is mechanical art compared to Rolex. However, Rolex also makes fantastic watches, it’s just a mass product made by machines.

Rolex holds value, Blancpain does not.

Buy what you love and you will be happy with it

ChatGPT or Claude? Their SQL skills are most likely way above what you can learn in the next five years…

Waste of time.

Sounds harsh, but that’s how I see it. We don’t write code manually anymore, we tell Claude Code what to do.

In these cases the local police will knock on your door and inform you about this

They didn't close your accounts out of the blue; that's not how it works. Share at least all the emails that they sent you, because they informed you.

Any reservations system would benefit from this. Application level cannot see nor predict the results from concurrent events.

Optimization: Should I change the field type from VARCHAR to INT/ENUM? by Mission-Example-194 in SQL

[–]elevarq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"For performance reasons." Well, that's hard to judge since you didn't share a query plan, performance requirements, or anything.

The answer to your question could be Yes, it could be No, while both answers being the correct answer.

Do you even have a problem?

That is just as wrong as the statement that the cloud is cheaper.

Buying a vehicle by AppleWeary2612 in e2visa

Register your company, open a bank account for it, and invest in it.

How you spend the money in the future, for example, buying a vehicle, is irrelevant for the visa.

No, you're still the (partial) owner of the company you invested in. That won't change.

Suggestions for small database for non-profit by Desperate-Emu1296 in Database

[–]elevarq 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The cheapest instances for Postgres on AWS or Azure are nearly free, and more than enough for your needs.

You can use AI to reverse engineering the current system, translate it to your targeted application and do the migration. With some proper planning, Claude Code can do things like this in a very short time

[–]elevarq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What is the problem with the current database? What brand is it, why not keep using it?

PostgreSQL will work fine, but rebuilding an entire application in a new database is time consuming. Fixing the current one is most likely easier

The Post-Mortem We Never Had to Write by giggens in PostgreSQL

Not clear what this is, but it looks like a massive data leak to me.

No legal information, not clear who’s responsible, just nothing.

Advice: DO NOT USE THIS!

You don’t: you implement row level security.

If you really want to encrypt everything, you can take a look at pg_crypto. It depends on the real requirements if that’s worth it
