I think it's a general concensus that a "data mapper" isn't much better than an ORM (obviously a form of data mapper). While you can write a data mapper that is less intrusive than a typical ORM, it's still not as n

Rule #x - Test your design on lower resolution/quality screens. I see a lot of articles/blogs/whatever that look like crap on my Dell 1680x1050 (non-ips) work display.

I think it was WPF based starting with VS 2010 actually.

Great! It would be nice to be able to stop the animations though, they are distracting while you are trying to read the text. The sunny/rainy probability example is perfect as a scenario.

They will require you to click on a "continue" button every once in a while if you have no interaction with the HTPC and it's doing auto-play. Perhaps once every hour or two - only slightly annoying.

So it sounds like Clojure needs a really comprehensive guide/book on how to architect a large application.

I don't think that information should be linked to from HN if there are alternatives. I completely agree w/ you on the idea of paying for superior quality content (I have no opinion on if WSF qualifies for that label though).

So save the company $60k / year and get the possibility of an iPad? I think I would keep my ideas to myself and start looking for another job if I was an employee (I realize the OP was not an employee and my reply is slightly off top

The "real" (as opposed to outsourcing/staffing) companies that want a visa for an employee and don't get one because of the cap aren't winning. Plus I'm guessing the pay / benefits would generally be bette

Acording to Wikipedia: As of 2012, China had 568,192,066 internet users. 4.4% of that would be 25,000,450 users. Depending on what you're doing, leaving out 25M potential users might not be a good idea (again, depends on what you'

Hopefully they will leave something in case one or more of the kids "fall down" later in life. I think Bill and Melinda might be discounting the luck factor that they have had in their own fortune. While I'm not saying that t

I have to disagree, code completion allows my typing to keep up with my thinking. Sometimes I have a "picture" in my head about how to implement something and the only thing slowing me down is how fast I can get it into code.

It might just be some poor editing, I think they are talking about the leading large farm software, which I believe is this: http://www.fbssystems.com/ - written in VB.net and Windows based.

First off, I'm can't speak to Google's "maximizing profit" or what is wrong with Google doing it. I don't know anything about Google outside of what I read on the internet. I can speak firsthand to seeing what

Without ReSharper, I find Visual Studio code editing to be a very unpleasant experience. I'm guessing the online editing will be even worse.

Interesting that Java is about to outpace Ruby - although it looks like the rate of change of the rate of change (can't remember what that's called, it's been a long time since college) has slowed for Java. Ruby's negati

Many large companies will not trust their data to an outside company under any circumstances. They will put the SaaS solution on their intranet only accessible locally or thru a VPN. If the SaaS company isn't willing to do this, then t

I work for a VERY large financial company and we have space issues. In some areas people are required to work from home 1-2 days a week. Our legal department is very strict, so I don't think this would be happening if compliance was re

Well, the hardest thing is landing, followed by taking off. Although I guess certain in-flight emergencies would really be the hardest - mainly during landing or take off. The hardest thing they had to do was fly them straight and low enoug

I've seen them flying over the city I live in a few times. Bloomington, IL, US - it's between Chicago and St. Louis right on the main Interstate 55. So I would say they normally fly them wherever they are going. As far as speed go

Less than $30k? You're going to need less than $15 for the underclass that this article is talking about; and even then those people are going to have to buy used.

You can't do that if you're in a job where everything has to be accessible by either lawyers (discovery) or security -- well, there are probably ways to handle that, but it's just easier to not allow local folders for email.

No questions, but hopefully the naysayers and trolls won't bother you this time around. I've certainly got to the point where I DGAF about other peoples opinions - at least people on the internet. Heck, I prefer Java for developing applicat

LinkedIn recruitment is different. If someone contacts you via LinkedIn, then they've already seen your photo and are interested regardless. There's little or no way to prove that someone even saw your profile on LinkedIn and then passed up
