   1.5 billion active devices with all of them tied to an easy payment method is very meaningful. Also, the wealthiest 1.5 billion and the most willing to spend money on tech/app purchases. This is a big deal. If you're trying to sel

   I think Steve Jobs The Marketing and Sales Genius is an incorrect myth. Jobs was an outstanding product manager who sweated all the details for his products. And in contrast to Tim Cook, Jobs was a passionate user of actual desktop and la

   I think that people often make these choices based on latent social and work-related contextual factors as much as there is any misunderstanding or blind adherence to the wrong set of guidelines. There are human factors as well that go into

   This just happened with my AWS account. Changed phones and forgot to update the number. Didn’t realize it until it was too late. Their recovery process without the phone is incredibly onerous (as it should be) and way too much hassle for me

   I really like the idea here. But wish there were more contrast between the text and background.

   I imagine google will keep the technology around to support their own products. I read this to mean they will stop selling access to it.

   I can't watch that at work right now. But is it pretty much this? https://blog.cleancoder.com/uncle-bob/2012/05/15/NODB.html I've heard of him before but never really read anything much by him.

    It's kind of impressive to me how much of modern science is really just people misapplying statistical models they don't understand to data that doesn't fit assumptions. Snark aside, what's really interesting is the way

    I'm acutely aware of this, and my pattern for phrasing things when I'm new to a scenario I'm trying to help out with is: "What happens when you try x?" What very often comes next is a clear explanation of why this o

    No. You actually don't have to start somewhere. Starting somewhere bad without a plan is actively bad. Here's the thing, people. FB and Twitter are pretty much garbage. That's fine, and we all mostly agree about that. Here&#x

    You can tell a company has totally lost their heads up their asses when you get the, "Whoa! We totally weren't expecting <product decision> to upset so many people!" Like really? Considering what people use your product

    I don't disagree with you. But when these get cross-posted to sites like this one and lack the context of what they are, they often lead to really unproductive discussions about how broken music theory is or how there are better ways o

    I can’t edit, but Rameau was 1722. Sorry about that.

    One of the things that these explainers often miss is the context around music theory, and what it means to be consonant or dissonant. As some comments below complain about, this seems woefully incomplete and extremely restrictive. And it i

    This author makes a similar mistake to the ones he accuses prior authors and historians of making. He's pretending as though Bach were operating alone in acting against certain norms in his music. It's obviously preposterous to su

    That's only a pattern though, and it's not actually coupled to the ORM. It's a convention. It's a bad habit. No one should do that. The second pattern is also awful. Why would you do that.

    I deal with that. Millions of lines of SQL stored procs. It's awful, but not anything an ORM could help with.

    by ianamartin 7y ago

    ORMs were never about not using or not knowing SQL. They are a convenience for people who already do. If you don't know SQL, don't interact with an SQL database.

    I have the exact same iPad. It's a stretch to say it has no performance issues. It's sluggish, at best. It's not so bad that I'm ready to buy a new one. But it's slow, it's memory constrained. It is damn impres

    Say you have to grab a bunch of files a few times a day and zip them up and drop them on and endpoint somewhere. But the endpoint has a max file size for a single upload. If you have a table of metadata about your files (zipped_size and loc

    Next thing you know, google will be telling us that the fastest websites are server side rendered from templates with minimal JavaScript. How could anyone possibly have known?

    Huh. That never occurred to me. To use a different client for workflow email. That was sort of one of the things keeping me from trying this out for real. I was just, "Ugh, I don't want all that mixed up together." Even folde
