   Sure, the first driverless car doesn't really help other people. But there are network effects. The more driverless cars, the better everyone else is off. 1. Owning a driverless car and leaving it parked would be a waste of money. Eith

   Think I might start a kickstarter to fund PostgreSQL-SQLite replication over WebSocket. Good idea?

    Larry's opinion is irrelevant. If you call yourself an Economist, and missed the bubble+collapse, you should resign, and stop talking. "Summers oversaw passage of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, which repealed Glass-Steagall, permitte

    I'm pretty sure you can use Apache Tika to check the actual content type of a file too. Either way, I hate flash.

    Thanks, but I was referring to say a dynamic database-backed resource. With SDR, you have an @Entity, and a @Repository for that entity, and SDR handles the whole HTTP part, i.e. you don't need to write a @Controller to expose the repo

    Oracle is used widely by large organizations, such as governments and corporations. Same as IBM's DB/2. It is not used widely by San Francisco start-ups though. So you'll see more blog articles about PostgreSQL or MySQL as mo

    I'm old now, but when I was a younger man, I was something to look at. I got sexual come-ons and innuendos by female and gay male coworkers all the time. It's not a "girl thing", it's an "I'm attractive th

    Spring is pushing it hard in all their new tutorials, even non-Grails. Which annoys the heck outta this Maven guy.

    What did the Eclipse team do so wrong to fall so fast? Also, what are Maven's fatal flaws? I don't consider XML a flaw.

    Some RLS updates coming in 9.4 . Updatable security_barrier views, as well as updatable WITH CHECK OPTION views. Can be done now sorta, but is a PITA. Generally speaking, encryption isn't the answer. Hard to search, hard to sort, hard

    I couldn't care less what language I am using. I care about the quality of the libraries. That's what helps you get shit done fast. And JVM has a shit-ton of high quality libraries.

    Some differences between Solr and PostgreSQL Text Search: 1. Solr doesn't handle multi-word synonyms (without a hack), PG does. (ex: "Northern Ireland" => "UK") 2. Solr uses TF-IDF out of the box, and PG doesn&#x
