Well, as a DBA, I periodically use a 3rd party tool to print out the schema. It's mainly for new hires to learn from. But sometimes I'll flip through it and notice: - mis-spelled table names, usually duplicate tables - missing FKs - missing unique keys, most commonly for early RoR apps - developer-specific EAV tables with 1 row. The benefit always outweighs the dead trees, but printing once a year is typical. Back in the day, more frequenctly on 25-line terminals where there was too much scrolling.

  User redis_mlc has been shadowbanned for eight months which is an abhorrent practice. He is a prolific contributor, but most readers will never see his comments. Occasionally, a reader with showdead:yes in the options and sufficient karma will "vouch" a post back into general visibility. Note that the verdict by HN moderator dang talks of a regular ban: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25011268 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25011268

    If you read that link in the parent comment, you'll see that my comment was right about the lack of science evident in the WHO and CDC information (I'm usually several months ahead of the leftist narrative.) Just more HN group think, enforced by dang. The facts as of July 18, 2021: 1) The WHO head just reversed his opinion on the lab leak theory in a public statement: Retraction starts @1:20 "WHO head: There was 'premature push' to rule out China's Covid-19 Wuhan lab leak link" - July 16, 2021 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YZJHkM7lO7A https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YZJHkM7lO7A 2) Fauci has admitted funding the Wuhan lab with no meaningful oversight. What he hasn't explained is why the NIH funneled the money through EcoHealth Alliance (Daszak) instead of government-to-government. Some media are calling Daszak "a cutout", meaning he was a link in a chai conspiring to hide the money trail since GoF was banned in the US, but pursued in WIV. 3) Fauci flip-flopped on when and how many masks to wear, so his advice was not guided by science.

    Reply to redis_mlc <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27878748 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27878748>, post out of order because of the ban: Moderation does not care about right or wrong, truthful or fake, moral or immoral. Moderation cares about harmonic or controversial. There isn't even a "group think", as that would imply direction and consistency.
