  Who gives a shit about the “smell test”? You are just talking out of your ass, that’s the smell. You keep asserting that it needs to be fixed, but there is nothing to support that. If it’s not the system of record, then it’s irrelevant.

  A null record is nothing but a lack of data. The front end systems typically handle that by showing no information or N/A. Elon’s clowns were not going through the front end systems. Depending how you query COBOL based systems, which these likely are, an empty record will come back as a 0, which COBOL interprets as the begining of it’s date system, which is in 1875.

  With that, I’m done talking to you like you are a genuine human making the best interpretation you can. You are a partisan hack with an agenda who will glom on to any interpretation of realty that can be bent to your purposes.

    LMAO I’m stealing this. And yeah, redut isn’t even from the US (admitted themselves), they are just a populist fanboy.

      yep - I am not even a conservative but a libertarian. That’s why I am a huge DOGE fanboy. This train just left the station, I hope it will be glorious and we will be able to enjoy a version of DOGE in the EU too.

        If you truly think they have our best interest at heart, you’re either willfully ignorant or you got swindled.

        There’s no receipts, it’s the equivalent of yanking out server cables before understanding what they were there for. The same thing happened to Twitter.

    So you’re smarter than Elon’s clowns? 😁 Sure.

    Do you really expect that someone that manages a couple of companies hires clowns? .Who is the partisan hack? Why are you here anyway. Lemmy is full of Marxist freaks you can share your ideology with. Good luck.

    Gives me an opportunity to plug the DOGE site again.

      In all likelihood I am. I’m certainly more experienced. That hardly matters though. They have an agenda that’s not compatible with reality, so they aren’t even trying to get it right.

      Why are you here anyway. Lemmy is full of Marxist freaks you can share your ideology with.

      How would you even know that if you stay in your lane? I’ll go where I want.
