What's that sql (or any relational database) problem where your selecting from a select and it causes a O(n2)
It was called, "select [something]"
Suddenly the idea fits my problem, but I can't remember the buzz word for it.
Select n something.
Select something something.Brain fart.
ANSWER: n+1 select / select n + 1

Correlated subquery?
SELECT stuff FROM ( SELECT stuff that needs to be (re)done for *every* row in the outer select )
That's the one that was causing 502's when

There's also the case when simple regular expressions can have exponential runtimes.
-
More generally, it's called the n+1 problem. And it's a big pain in the ass.

What is this thread about?

It's called "assfaggot". Go have a long discussion with your coworkers about it. Make sure you use the correct terminology so you sound real smart.

What is this thread about?
That's actually quite easy to find out: You just look at who originally started it.
If the person starting the thread was blakeyrat, you read the first post (or ignore the thread). You should not deviate from what is discussed therein on pain of pain.
In all other cases, post about whatever you please.

This is called the "stupid questions thread", but hardly any of the posts are actually questions. Why is that?

Because there are no stupid questions, only stupid answers.

Not if he's moving at the speed of light.

Not if he's moving at the speed of light.
Which he couldn't be, because he presumably has mass, but true, if he was a photon, then everything that ever has happened and everything that ever will happen is all happening instantaneously now. Light is weird.

Then they named the wrong particle the God particle.

But what about light that's absorbed?
I don't know, ask Neil deGrasse Tyson, or somebody...

Loop detected?
Look, we have a whole topic about just asking questions. Don't make me Jeff your ass.
-
And yes, it's a very stupid thread.
-
And yet.... you replied to yourself.
-
With statements! And interjections! YEAH!
-
COMPLAIN! <validity

-
What's wrong with replying to yourself?
-
If there was something wrong with it why would people be doing it?
-
Because they enjoy Doing It Wrong™?

Then they named the wrong particle the God particle
But did the photon know that Adam and Eve would rebel?

But did the photon know that Adam and Eve would rebel?
If it chose never to bounce off that damned apple they'd never even see it!
Conclusion: CONSPIRACY!
-
But did the photon know that Adam and Eve would rebel?
I suppose it created evil people on purpose, so it could burn them in fire.
It's only logical.
-

You certainly picked the correct topic for this.

Why some companies that do all that confusing tax haven things like "double irish" and "dutch sandwich" still considered american companies?

Nationalistic wanking? Just like AB-INBEV is a brewer except for every beer with 'light' in it's name

@sockpuppet7 @GuyWhoKilledBear's Law: Everything from Boston is terrible. It came from @GuyWhoKilledBear.

The , specifically @GuyWhoKilledBear. He came up with his eponymous Law, which is that "Everything from Boston sucks". Why he did so is a topic for the , because intensely political by nature.

It's actually not political.
I am a fan of the New York Jets, and as a result I hate our rivals, the New England Patriots. The Patriots are just now ending a 20 year run of dominating the league, which they achieved primarily through numerous cheating scandals. The most famous among them were Spygate and Deflategate, but I can give you chapter and verse on a bunch more if you're interested.
In the aftermath of Spygate, which consisted of the Patriots spying on the Jets, I started noticing that the other Boston-area teams also cheated a bunch. The Red Sox hired the architect of the Houston Astros sign-stealing scandal. The Celtics hung the nets two inches too high to screw with the Warriors' shooting mechanics. The Bruins just playing dirty. Et cetera. Et cetera. Eventually I noticed the through line that ties it all together:
Everything from Boston is terrible.
The reason @Benjamin-Hall thinks it's political is because most people from Boston are on the other side of the political spectrum from most people in the , so there's a lot of Garage posts that criticize Boston, Bostonians, and colleges near Boston on serious grounds, not just the meme.
But GuyWhoKilledBear's Law originated with sports. It's not political unless the Bostonian thing you're calling terrible is already political.

Sports are just terrible in general.
