Nice one :-)

Sunday is free because it is 'overtime'. Workers are paid fixed pay per month. Suing for Sunday would not bring any extra money to worker.

Mysql has good selection of engines and good clustering.

Some rules "enforce themselfs". Unpaid overtime brings positive motivation for emplyers to broken. Paid overtime is negative motivations, and people are more likely to report it and sue due to lost money.

I can speek for Greece, where is ban on sunday work. For workers it just means they have to work unpaid (and undeclared) overtimes.

If you wont to make people happy, just introduce double pay for overtimes and really enforce it!

Reputation is hard to fix. Mysql today is still considered 'toy' db, even trough it is very stable and has good features. I think they lost industries with most money (financial and enterprise) to Cassandra and other competitors. Plus there are now solutions with aim to reimplement MongoDB API and be drop in replacement.

I am glad they finally introduced LSM trees and per document locking. But I think thats too little too late :-)

I would recommend personal wiki such as ZIM. It comes with diary, todo lists, git integration... They also have similar guide:

Funny, after some exposure to GNU codebase (including GCC) I used to thought, that evil M$ is trying to destroy free software, by poluting it with horrible code.

+1,

curl is like swiss army knife and wget is fixed blade knife ;-)

What I found even more sickening: polish cryptographers were in England for most of WW2, but were not trusted enough to decipher anything.

name is confusing. *d is usually reserved for deamons, this is some app.

Correction: married men must earn more & non-divorced men live longer :-)

I have great advice howto improve your health and productivity tenfold: DO NOT GET MARRIED! EVER! :-)

City hall != community. Eventually this will become just another tax on house, impossible to opt-out. In Germany you MUST pay for privileges such as TV or rain water disposal.

There are many community networks build by volunteers, for example CZFree had almost 1M users at its peak.

I would disagree. There are much more co-founders, programmers and investors within 10.000 miles radius :-)

And if you have a family, LA is just impossible.

Move outside SF?

OT: Is there some way to scan referenced links for keywords and remove them from list? Perhaps some Firefox extension or GreaseMonkey script?

I go here for hardware/software related news and this is just OT.

Perhaps the solution is to make science 'easier'. Works just fine with arts.

$300,000 is nothing to sneeze at. I imagine someone could hack chat clients, extract private keys and claim the price.

In my experience maintaining LRU queue has significant overhead. Random (hash based) displacement has almost zero overhead.

There is no way to disable it in bios? I disabled lot of stuff and my battery life increased by 30 minutes

There is very good documentary how Machu Picchu was made on youtube. It goes into extensive details about water drainage, securing terraces against land slides and so on.

And there are similar stone walls all over Greece.

I am afraid in this case Google has become headless chicken and evolution now goes backward.

"idiot" is well defined medical term, author probably meant "ignorant".

> You don't waste expensive food on people who are about to die stabbing each other to death for your entertainment.

you have no idea. Gladiators were something like sport celebrities.

fork join framework takes care of that.

Why? Do you have a task which requires that?

What you want is called fork & join, pretty much standard in Java 8 and Scala.

It is windows all over again. Just block internet access on everything and allow only a few apps to access internet.

I worked as salary accountant, I think big part of story is missing, and it is essentially click-bait.

> dilemma-style trap where the equilibrium is at or just below the amount needed to not starve

That ship had sailed long time ago. In California I would be more worried about housing cost and expenses in general. I bet many people would gladly accept $1/hour position which would cover insurance, rent (in real house), food, car.... Steve Jobs worked for $1/year!

Ireland has strongly enforced minimal wage with long tradition, yet it surprisingly just does not work, even government is now forcing people to take unpaid positions.
