"If we want to complain that MySQL has an utterly useless TIME datatype, and separately they really should have an INTERVAL datatype, then let's do that."
Uhh, done?
"The issue" is that MySQL has a TIME type that is goofy as all get-out, and this guy's friend had a bug that prompted him to look into the TIME type and find out how goofy it is. I don't recall him complaining that it's not in the docs (since that's where he looked it up). The bug was only a story, the thing that prompted him to look into it. Take a breath, this isn't StackOverflow (not that being rude and offended/butthurt is welcome there either).
- meritt 6y agoEdit. Fuck HN.
- masklinn 6y ago> Maybe you should take a moment to review the etiquette you're trying to hypocritically enforce. Although they did breach it, they did not invoke the etiquette, they only made a more general recommendation of calming down (however snarkily). You, however, are invoking the etiquette while breaching multiple items from it in your original comment.

- rdiddly 6y agoGuilty as charged; if I could still edit it, I might remove the word "butthurt."
