Those were the glory days of Mac Classic and HyperCard.

Safari never existed on Mac Classic. Your brain is confused and smelly.

Any references, for my own perusal? Wikipedia has nothing before 2012, the only reference I see in the article is 2012 as well, Google is throwing a bunch of Q&A sites at me, useless bastard.
Opera Link was 2008 so at least according to that it's 4 years prior. Apple's site... yeah, I have no idea where to start with that thing and their search helpfully strips my periods...
My craving for obscure knowledge has been triggered and I need to know. And I don't trust Wikipedia enough, ever.

I was using the Safari browser thing in version 10.2, which came out in mid-2002. I can't recall if .mac was released at the same time as the OS itself.
I'd stopped using Mac OSes at all long before 2008. The newest version I used was 10.4, which came out in 2005 and I didn't use it for long before switching full-time to XP.

Look up MobileMe.
I was trying to go through Safari article. Yeah, I guess PCSync is what did it? I'll read up some more, thanks.

Wiki says:
Originally launched on January 5, 2000, as iTools, a free collection of Internet-based services for users of Mac OS 9, Apple relaunched it as .Mac on July 17, 2002, when it became a paid subscription service primarily designed for users of Mac OS X. Apple relaunched the service again as MobileMe on July 9, 2008
So I guess it could go back as far as 2000. All the name changes are a bit confusing, but at least I have a starting point, and MobileMe is sure easier to look for than .mac.
-
Since I never used "MobileMe" that puts an upper-bound on the browser sync at July, 2008. According to your link, the version of Opera with sync was released
Since: Opera 9.50, released June 12, 2008.
In short, I win and am right once again and pay me money.
BTW I switched to XMarks in Firefox after Apple shat all over me, that was released in 2006. I used it for awhile on the Mac before switching to Windows full-time.

I win
It was a contest?
am right
You are. Me asking for sources was in no way intended as saying you weren't.
pay me money
Nope.

pay me money.
@abarker and I still have a lien on you, so any accounts payable should come to us instead. @Onyx has been hereby notified.

You'd better hope more people use the Linux hardware joke so you can get blakey's royalties then.
-
He never copyrighted it, so now it is public domain.
-
I should just pay @accalia to write me a bot that will scan blakey's posts for "pay me money" and then add my standard reply.
-
...and I could add her invoice to the amount due for blakey under "Collection Costs".
-
I think he owes @monkeyArms $50 also. Where the hell has that guy been?

Status: Starting my four day weekend. Time to watch the kids enjoy my mom's visit.

Didn't they do that weird 15minute "rock opera"-type track at some point? Mansun are a band who I had literally forgotten the existence of until about an hour ago... I suppose I'll just have to go read wikipedia or something...

Didn't notice a 15 min rock opera track in there but they have done a few albums (none of which I've listened to).
Rather than make me want to listen to more Mansun it made me want to cherry pick singles from around that time.... Boo Radleys, Lightning Seeds, Bluetones

I'm convinced this is what I was thinking of. Only 8mins though...

That was a new one on me. It fits the description though...

Status: Is it bad, that if I want to find a Discourse topic I've previously had open, I Ctrl+L and start typing words from the title into Chrome's address bar, and then when I find the topic I want, I replace the post number at the end with 99999 and hit Enter?
It's soo much faster than DiscoSearch, and it also leaves me at the business end of the topic so I don't have to scroll all the way down (or hit End and wait for another load...)

I've had it with this game. I'm going for a scuttle.

The Europeans are starting to wake up
I'm already half an hour at work. Not that I got anything done already ... except for drinking coffee, having a chat and opening up TDWTF

Status:
Why no reply butt... oh, One Post
Grrr! This one is actually grating because I do have a meaningful answer to that. Also, the closing notification is missing @PJH. (coincidentally, I'm aware of that, but tell that to Discodevs).

Status: The Europeans are starting to wake up, @Zoidberg!
Already done with e-mail, one meeting and am now brushing off WTDWTF.
Status: Sad that the Razer Deathstalker Ultimate keyboard does not support mac; I could have had fun with the touchscreen. Now investigating how to control their other products via CLI (or, to be precise, from inside Emacs).

The most reasonable way to track which posts are read would be by using
post_id
.You'd have thought so, wouldn't you?

Where?Ignore that - getting my topics mixed up, and I can't seem to delete this post..

#FUCKING HELL WHY DOES IT HAVE A FUCKING PRIMARY KEY WITH NO FUCKING AUTOINCREMENT?I hate whoever designed this schema
-
That's OK for a GUID primary key, not so much for an integer
-
Bigint. I may have to do another nasty hack like the last one. Or do max() + 1 and ignore the race condition
WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG?
-
Depending on the DB, you should be able to add the
IDENTITY(x,y)
with an appropriate seed value
-
There are other stored procs and things that insert into it. I don't want them to break whatever WTF way they're doing it, and I'm buggered if I'm hunting through the source for everything that inserts to this table

Ah. Well, there goes that idea then.

Why did I think MSSQL uses sequences? o.O

It's called identity, see @RaceProUK's suggestion

Explain? I cannot think of a reason that's a good idea…

Do you mean natural keys or that you're creating a surrogate key that then has other meaning not found in the rest of the table?

think nonsurogate primary keys.
or possibly the PKs form Salesforce:
00119000004x29eAAA
ok. so the prefix is
001
. that means this is an accountid, the suffix isAAA
that's a checksum so i can make sure i got the rest of the number correct. the account id is then19000004x29e
which i know encodes both the sandbox ID (because this is a test sandbox id) and the account ID propper (not sure how that's encoded, but given the IDs in our test sandbox i think it's the19
prefix that ids the sandbox.)
