Hm, looks like the Journalist theme has a bug. When I close comments, it not only disallows further comments, it doesn’t display the existing ones. So I’ll leave them open.

In parts of the world, it is now April 2. So I am going to close comments and (as planned all along, honestly) put a big red warning at the start and end of the post. Thanks for all the fish!

And for the record, Giuseppe TOTALLY got me. I sat there staring at it, thinking there had been an error; tried again; tried three times. THREE TIMES. Duh.

“Actually, InnoDB is just slower across the board than MyISAM, which is why you should always use MyISAM.”

unless of course you like to have minor things like relational integrity taken care of for you by the database engine rather than by application code

getting the correct answer slowly ~always~ trumps getting the wrong answer quickly

but yeah, nice april 1 article
