Here, take my upvote. Can’t remember the last time someone seemed to genuinely apologize, explain what act they’re apologizing for, acknowledges their knowledge gaps and seems to actually thank their corrector, all the while sprinkling the comment with a hint of self-deprecation…

This is why things like "/s" are useful.

I also didn't understand that you were making a joke, and was sitting here wondering how using a different type of database would solve this kind of problem.

Similar to the sibling comments, I genuinely didn't realize you were joking either (although looking back now, it definitely seems more obvious!). Either way, I tend to be in the minority that doesn't mind jokes on Hacker News, so I'll give you an upvote as well
