It's worth noting that this model works quite well for the vast majority of client facing applications out there. I.E. Things categorized by tags or groups where 1-to-n relationships are necessary. Of course, the extreme of this is EAV

I think the larger the craft, the more this would make sense. I had the idea of a long pontoon craft for inter waterway trade powered by solar panels based on a patent I had seen[1] Although that was for a ground-effect craft[2], the long f

Changing databases is extremely painful if there's a fair amount of data already stored there. It doesn't matter how "database agnostic" the code was originally, there are too many edge cases that tend to become front ca

You're referring to : Mallach agreed with Surfrider that closing the gate amounted to “a change in intensity of use,” That change, she said, could be considered development under the law. As a result, she said in her ruling,

At the risk of sounding indelicate, why did he buy the property when the real possibility of maintaining public access was there? I can understand he wanted some peace and solitude, but if that's the case, there are options available t

If the amount of energy and money spent on this level of sophistication can be devoted to actual customer service, imagine their retention. After all, it's the retention that keeps your business going. If your customers will spread the

Is this really a problem in the design/startup community or does it just appear to be so as judged by the loudest bunch? I'm not in the community so maybe I'm just not exposed to it directly, but these criticisms are awfull

Patents etc... They may have other reasons as well, like price of replacing a plug/wire vs. damaged socket. I've broken many a plug by pulling on the wire at an angle due to laziness, but luckily, nothing in the port broke.

The very first sentence starts with a faulty premise: "Apple has announced that it has designed its new operating system, iOS8, to thwart lawful search warrants" Why couldn't Apple have designed it to remove itself from the b
