Do you mean it's a bad thing about the law? Or is a bad thing that is seeing the sunlight due to the law?


Almost certainly the latter


Companies are already doing layoffs and hiring offshore. They dont care about you or me or anybody but profits.

Things will estabilize at some point and it's better for 99% of people if there are pro-workers laws in place by then.


It's because companies care about profits that these laws are harmful to workers.

So is pointing your own experience.


> So is pointing your own experience.

No, not really. That's not how logic works. This puerile "no, you are" argument is meaningless.

If someone makes a broad baseless accusation that all X are true and you reject that baseless assertion by stating the fact that in the very least there exists some X that are verifiably false, you don't magically annul the rejection by mindlessly claiming it's a subjective interpretation. Either all X are true, or they are not. No discussion.

You can repeat all the puerile arguments you want, but if you want to defend a thesis on how all women are primed for something, in the very least you need to try to substantiate your wild claims, and your personal prejudices and bigoted views won't do.

How does that vary from Java?


I'd love if interfaces worked as in typescript.

As long as the object signature matches the interface as parameter then you can use it.


Check out project manifold, it’s a compiler plugin for Java. Among other amazing features it adds structural typing [1], which is essentially interfaces typescript interfaces.

> "Well, how hard can that be?”

Very hard?

I worked on a tool that generated PDFs based on API responses. The tool added charts from the api data.

Those PDFs were reports with some hardcoded text.

Yesh what a fun ride that was.


Generating PDFs are incredibly easy. I just generate LaTeX and run it through lualatex. When precise positioning is needed, I just use a giant tikzpicture.


Isnt that as easy as giving a non-write user to the app?


This is another way to make sure that the app doesn't overstep it's permissions,

It's still very valid feedback, on our side we should make the permissions of each user very clear and make it clearer that we only do select queries. Will make sure to make those changes! Thanks for the feedback!


This reply gives me a bit of anxiety. Solving this should have been one of the most important things regarding something like this


Surely you wouldn't give a third party analytics app write access to your prod DB? It would be a nice UX improvement if the app checked the permissions and gave you instructions on how to set the permissions properly, but this seems to be entirely at the level of setting it up correctly.


Obviously, generating queries from natural language should be the most important thing

And providing the user interface to do that


I think I would be okay with not having the ability to generate queries from natural language if it came with the possibility of my data randomly getting clobbered!


Is bigger better when it comes to wind power?


Yes, for two reasons: windspeed is greater at higher altitudes, and energy capture increases with the square of the blade length:

https://www.gwec.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Netherlands_...

This means that a windmill constructed with 3x the building material (3x blade diameter and 3x taller) will generate over 9x the power.


Windmill efficiency scales faster than (blade length)^2, so yes.


> then there are solutions for that

Painless solutions like email/phone call where you explain why you are extending your stay?

Or painful solutions where you need to go to an office, find somebody who gives a shit about actually doing their job?


You go sit in the airport after your passport has been exit stamped. No, you can't stay in the country after the expiration of your visa, unless you have a very good reason to do so.
