I'm guessing our CSM guys had a pretty huge influence in that moon mining change because I *know* I've seen that exact idea talked about a whole bunch in this thread

Pineapple on pizza is nasty af. This is, however, from experience and not some misguided bias against mixing fruit with not fruit. Just lol if you haven't had some sort of pork and apple dish.

its the rib meat with the bones removed

it was an ironic "wat", intended to point out the ridiculousness of calling something a boneless bone

Actually, Discord is very good at what it is designed to do, that being getting small to moderately sized groups of nerds onto a unified, centralized platform from which they can communicate in the various manners to which they have become accustomed.

It's reasonably stable, has decent voice, requires minimal configuration, is multi-platform, and doesn't cost you any money to set up.






It also is selling all of your personal data to advertising companies, but if you use facebook/twitter/amazon/google/et loving cetera, you are already implicitly okay with this.

Whoever handled the most recent recruitment ad buy needs to update their ads because you can definitely try the game for more than two weeks now, and also I'm p sure calling people fags stopped being funny *at least* two years ago.



for real it looks like someone just pulled them from the 2010 recruitment campaign or something

Um, don't quit your day job because large-scale databases may not be for you.

Most of the actions that you are describing there are not a simple as they seem. That's the bitch of big data: "just find all the x" is a time-consuming operation when you have millions of records to look through. You can make it so that finding all x is very fast, but if finding y and z are more important then x gets cut.

Also running operations on backups is both impractical and inadvisable.

Okay so yeah sure big data means you really have to consider performance, but Eve probably has a couple million account records at best. All you do is tie your conversion script into the account degrade scripts (which obviously already exist). For every account that's downgraded, add them to a list of accounts to process at a later date. This is a minimal addition to a batch script that is already running. Then, potentially during live hours, iterate across that list and check each account. If they're logged in, remove them from the list (they've already been logon-processed). If they're not logged in, run all the updates to their account that are required. This doesn't necessarily need to be done during downtime because if you're performing the operation, they're not logged in and therefore aren't going to be experiencing any service degradation because of DB locking, and the information that you're changing isn't going to be read by anyone but the user (who isn't logged in), so you're not impacting anyone else. However, given that the amount of people going alpha on a day-by-day basis is likely minimal, you could add this to downtime and likely see a correspondingly minimal (if any) downtime impact.
