We also allow to run custom R script on top of the SQL results, have SQL Alerts that run at specified schedules, allow you to create SQL Snippets and offer a free entry plan.

Currently supported datasources are Postgres, Redshift, MySQL, MariaDB and Amazon Aurora.
Agreed. Not fully sure why we couldn't move there in steps. If 6 hours helps a lot, 7.5 hours should also show some improvement. And the cost to the economy is much smaller in case it's not working out.
How to Setup Unified AWS ECS Logs in CloudWatch and SSM
It's a working class thing.

There's a little shop near me that sells Kodi boxes. They used to build PCs when that was a thing, now they do laptop and phone repairs. £69 for the box including installation, £20 for updates. That's a bargain compared to £70/month for Sky. Most people have a geeky nephew who'll sort it out for a bit of pocket money.
I am all for having nurses and doctors work 6 hour days for regular pay. The idea that doctors should pull 24-48 hour shifts in hospitals is insane. The cost of this is virtually nothing compare to other expenses in hospitals.
I'm "salaried", technically hourly but guaranteed 40-hours/week. They haven't approved us for overtime or comp time so I'm done when I hit 8. That hard stop has motivated a great deal of my automation at work. Projects I got pulled into had me doing 2-3 hours of busy work a couple times a week. Things that occupied my PC and attention for way too long. A handful of scripts later, I cd to the right directory, type the right command, and get back to whatever I'm supposed to actually be working on and that work that used to take almost a full day a week is done in the background in 20-30 minutes (less once they replace my computer with a new one, hopefully soon).

I thought this is what the NSA, CIA, and FBI were for? Maybe we can start downsizing them if we're just going to hand everything over.

Maybe then we might be able to use the numerous mathematically talented people they've snatched up for something actually productive.
That's a rather simple-minded response. You define the person as having privilege without knowing said person, and then dehumanize them by saying their situation is irrelevant to justify your offensive attitude.

There are circumstances that the purpose of removal of privileges is specifically for oppression.

>It is discussing an effect of the book, not the intent.

Do you truly believe that specific DP book caused that effect?

I don't. The DP book is extremely dry reading and most programmers have not actually read it. ([In terms of readership/ownership ratio] It's a book like Stephen Hawking's "Brief History of Time" ... everybody knows about it and some might have it on the coffee table but very few actually read it.)

I do think the _phrase_ of "design patterns" (not the book) has become a sort of gravitational force such that any discussion about "overcomplicated design" seems to fall toward that particular phrase. Or put differently, "bad designs" is now a synonym of "design patterns" so much so such that you can't even say "design pattern" and have it be interpreted as a neutral term. It's become a trigger word.

>Which would be entirely accurate if script writers were widely using TVTropes pages as templates and creating bad scripts

Yes, I agree that would be equivalent. However, I don't think the existence of tvtropes compels directors like Michael Bay to repeat the "walk away calmly from explosion in the background" scene. The motivation to repeat that "cinematic pattern" comes from somewhere else. Likewise, the majority of bad/overcomplicated abstractions in source code come from somewhere else besides that particular DP book.

If it does, the effects will only be seen in a couple of decades. A lot things can change by then. What would be better would a system where countries get green cards proportional to their population. It makes no sense for Fiji to be awarded the same number as India.
There are a bunch of good legal doc services these days. For most company stuff, Clerky has some good docs (hiring people, hiring a contractor, etc).

It doesn't really make much sense to talk about the length of a work day except on average. "Six-hour work day" should just be interpreted to mean "120 hour work month" or similar.
I moved company last July from a full time job to contracting elsewhere.

I'm now a contractor in the very real sense. I use my own computer, I work generally when I want to (I set the total hours at the beginning of any month and choose what hours to work when within that framework).

In terms of pay, becoming a contractor means my pay went up and I can work 4 hours a day and do as well as I was full time, though I do try to work more like 4.5 - 5 hours a day (gotta pay that mortgage down).

What this means is that I generally only work when I'm motivated and "feeling it", the rest of the time I relax, learn, program, climb etc. It may seem like I'm expensive at > 2x what I was on when full time, but I think I'm giving way more for the time I put in, eg. no % of an 8 hour day spent being tired or "slacking". For instance I stopped the clock to read HN :) I'm also way happier than I was before.
In that state between sleeping and waking I am often debugging my inability to wake. It's not as though I'm sitting in front of a monitor, but the lines of code are my entire worldview and no matter what I change the alarm keeps going off.

What about all the other western nations currently using the US military as their military in exchange for the land our bases are built on? You think we wouldn't sacrifice 10,000 soldiers lives to stop an invasion of Iceland?

Saying we have no regard for anyone but US citizens is just plain disengenous. Saying we have less regard for the people of the world not allied with us then we do for ourselves and our allies is true. Who doesn't?
I think this argument holds some water in developed countries, but India has a serious problem with graft and a Ubi would ensure that the money actually gets to people and doesn't get stolen by government officials.

The economics are also not always destined to fail, they depend a lot on local conditions, such as how much it costs to survive.

UBI may be a huge boon to India's largest rural population without significant cost.
> if you have a job that requires Y hours be worked. You have to hire more staff to cover the extra hours. For example, hospital care (like the lady described in the article). If you need a hospital staffed 24/7, you now need 4 people to staff a single day instead of 3.

That's the equation in its simplest first-order form. There are lots of factors you can put in the equation, of which you mentioned a few:

- reduced employer cost for recruiting if people are happier in their jobs

- reduced employer cost for sick leave/temps if employees are healthier

- increased efficiency because employees are more efficient/make fewer mistakes

- reduced healthcare costs for society if everyone is healthier

- increased employer cost of training and education if more people need to do the same task

- ... the list goes on and on.

In a society with publicly funded healthcare, the cost of sick workers is triple: first the employee is replaced by a temporary, often more expensive nurse to fill in. Second, society pays the insurance/sick leave for the person home sick. Third, the sick person now causes more work for the same public organizations (healthcare). The costs of people in working age being ill is one of Swedens largest econommic problems at the moment.
In a small scale experiment the large scale effect of a healther population can't be seen in the direct economic outcome but it can be estimated.

> The parent has mentioned the you now have an ex-Stasi person drafting rules proposing rules about what you can and can't say, which seems pretty specific. Hate speech is often used to defend ideas, eg, religion, from legitimate criticism.

I mentioned this in an earlier comment, but "ex-Stasi" and "East Germany" are inextricable. Governments aren't dispose-alls, and people working under governments do not always align politically with them. We should be eager to fault Nazi Germany for its crimes, but not so eager to fault every single citizen who became a member of the Nazi Party during its rule.
No, but horrible things down by other people doesn't really have anything to do with stuff we do. We can't control other countries (well without forcing things) but we can and should control what we do.

I use randomly generates passwords stored in a password manager. The database file for the password manager is on my home computer and my phone backed up to cloud storage (the password to the account is also random).

There is no f*ing way I'm taking my phone with me overseas with policies like this.

I can't give them my passwords, because I do not know them. I'm 100% sure the DHS grunts are unable to understand that.
They say the reason is to minimize handoffs and communication snafus (double-administering meds, for instance). That's a good point, and maybe a reason to have longer shifts for now, but long-term, there should be significant investments in hospital infrastructure so unforced errors are harder to make.
What does that have to do with working for free? Total non-sequitur.

It's not a warning that is in place. These sellers were advertising their Kodi boxes as a way to watch live football without paying or the latest movies for free. This so what attracted legal attention to their operations.
I'm going to assume that some of the adjustments they made to improve the scheduler are the cause of this. More checkins with the scheduler on tight loops prevents your entire server from locking up from a runaway infinite loop...but trades some slight overhead.

IMO I'd vote for stability over raw performance numbers every single time since the raw performance numbers depend on "best circumstances" and stability accounts for "worst circumstances". You'll see the latter in reality a lot while the former doesn't exist outside of benchmarks.

> it is an argument against corporate welfare.

Explain. As I see it, none of these companies could hire enough in the US to exist here at all without H-1Bs. They would have to move operations somewhere else if they couldn't bring people here. I've never worked on a team at Google that was more than a third from the US.

Tech companies already have offices around the world since not everyone wants to or can move here. If there were fewer work visas, they would just hire less in the US and more abroad.

>H1Bs aren't allowed to start companies, so this point is moot

People who started the immigration process on H-1B do. They are one of the only ways to effectively come here. Getting a green card can take 8 years for someone from a large country.
Do you have a source for Steve Bannon's argument?
It was for gaps in the free market. Raising the minimum will help with it's abuse.

The intent of the H-1B provisions is to help employers who cannot otherwise obtain needed business skills and abilities from the U.S. workforce by authorizing the temporary employment of qualified individuals who are not otherwise authorized to work in the United States.

It's yet more 'not invented here syndrome' from Apple.
This reminds me of stuff we used to do with 96 line dialers way back in the day. It was a pretty solid tactic for dealing with anyone that scammed us. Difficult number portability, a lack of ubiquitous capability to cost effectively deal with a phone DoS, their lack of knowledge about various telecommunications laws (what with search engines not being what they are today) and most importantly the fact that they were almost universally uninterested in engaging law enforcement (what with the scamming or fraud) it was a pretty effective way to get bad people to stop being bad. But it was a long time ago and I wouldn't do it again given the chance. I was really young, it was definitely an ethically gray area and we were breaking at least one law.

I also came to understand over time that the reason we kept having run ins with scammers was because we were running a shady ISP/hosting and telemarketing business that had a significant portion of customers who were scamming their own customers. If it always smells like shit there might be some on your shoe. It was an important lesson and now I pay a lot more attention to how my employer gets money and who they get it from.

On a lighter note we won tickets a couple times calling radio stations. We felt pretty bad about cheating like that so we never did it again but it was pretty effective as long as you had a couple butts in seats to deal with the "sorry you're not the 9th caller" pickups.
It's not a metaphor, it's just jargon. It's how the total number of people on board an aircraft is clearly expressed without the confusion of "I've got 37 people aboard" "Ok... is that 37 including you, or 37 plus the pilot?"
> For us techies it could actually be a nuisance (depending on how the individual works).

I doubt very many people can regularly engage in 6+ hours of deep work, day after day after day. I think a more common pattern is 3-4 hours of deep work, then a similar amount of time processing email, playing code janitor, going to meetings, and screwing around on the web.

The wind is apparently not too bad at the surface:

> Winds at the surface are slow, moving at a few kilometres per hour, but because of the high density of the atmosphere at the surface, they exert a significant amount of force against obstructions, and transport dust and small stones across the surface †

So maybe we could send some probes that would hover above the surface. Disposable instruments could be shielded behind covers, and only exposed once a sample was ready to be collected and analyzed, and then discarded or written off.

Since the atmosphere is dense, maybe a nuclear-powered hover-rover would be plausible, since it would be almost more like swimming than floating. Maybe an anchor could be dragged behind it to ensure that it doesn't get flung around too badly.

I'm really curious if new "Scrapping" terms apply to API usage.
The implication of the 'subsidy' argument is that there's a certain level of profit required to drive a certain amount of product development and innovation. In other words, to get the current level of drug discovery / development / etc., pharma requires the current level of return.

The question for me is how how inelastic this relationship is. The pharma companies would have you believe that if some kind of price controls of some kind were put in place, and the total amount of profit to be had was reduced, then the inexorable result would be a scaling down of the whole process: a sinking tide lowering all ships. Is that a realistic model? I don't know. Is there way to know? I don't know that either.

It's easy to make religious claims from either side, but it would be nice to have a better sense of the system dynamics here.
