That autocommit point just made thousands of Java EE/hibernate guys cry out in terror.

Oh, believe me I know. The JaxB XML mappings for the QBWC api in my project are are 302,976 lines of code in 1122 files. Its auto-generated of course but still creates a messy with permgen space. I'd love to dump it all for a REST api o

This would make my life much easier, glad your tackling it. Any idea where Vendors and Bills are on the priority list to add to the API? Our business model is similar to a consignment transaction so every time I generate an Invoice to a cu

I'm developer who isn't great at design myself. I'm looking at this from the perspective of someone who works at a startup with a fair number of people whom are non-technical (primary developer who gets stuck with IT stuff as a result type

Looks great. Curiosity has bit me, so a question: Have you done any testing regarding the 'cryto/security' space and the dark color theming? I know that dark themes are all the rage but I've always noticed that many people think of 'cryto/

Do you really see no correlation in the knowledge used to build a religion vs a brand? The outcome is certainly different but your leveraging very similar concepts in both activities.

Understanding human psychology/behavior is very important to startups; It's a big part UI/UX design, pricing strategy, etc.

I don't follow. Most 'facts' are considered facts because there is overwhelming data in support of their accuracy. I can't actually think about a 'fact' that isn't based on such study outside what are considered fundamental laws (which of

There are are techniques to create flexible PCBs. The individual ICs/components themselves are still solid but the circuitry around them can be flexible. It is currently only used in military/speciality applications to my knowledge but it

I wouldn't worry about it. At the scale I could see it being an issue I think the right answer becomes to simply store all the transcoded versions on disk and serve them directly. It would in all likelihood be more cost effective to pay f

More importantly you have an entire video and audio editing/production pipeline built for the timings of 24 fps. If your going to increase the rate of all those systems, its far easier to double the rate than increase by some arbitrary fra

I can think up ways to approach the problem, but I don't see any of them being adopted. The best technical idea that comes to mind is using a kinetic or similar device as they become more widespread to just scan the person's form and return

Wanted to more or less say the same thing. For whatever reason I've run into the issue of bra sizing numerous times over the last 6 months without doing/reading anything that would promote the discussion. Personally I think part of it is

Is it just me or does this only count commits to master? Nothing in branches seems to show up for me.

I'm in that boat. There is a reason PG has talked about e-mail being broken, this is a perfect example.

Give all the discussion regarding usability and user experience on HN I find this post baffling. Why would anyone go through 5 steps and 15 clicks when 1 click achieves the same goal? Do you really expect users to consider and care about t

You know how it worked ten years ago. Do you really think that has much to do with how it works today?

I love groovy. Anytime I have something 'Java-JVM' that isn't performance critical, I write it in groovy. But even that mindset is falling away given the ability to use @CompileStatic. The best part of groovy to me is that I can use it wh

Hibernate is useful in one situation: you have a transaction that has to exist across actions taken by multiple disparate services, and you still need the container to manage this for you. In my opinion, if your in that situation, you eithe

I don't disagree with your premise per-say, but, I do think its pretty easy for me, personally, to dismiss some of these positions wholesale. 1) I agree with 2) Computer technology moves at such a breakneck pace and is generally so hard to

Have they fixed re-clocking yet? Last I knew nouveau couldn't change the clock speed on many GPUs leaving them either locked at a very low clock, performing poorly, or locked at max clock, chewing through power.

Yes, Joda-Time is awesome and a default include is pretty much all of my POMs. I'd also add that if your dealing with monetary fields / calculations, Joda-Money is also a great way to avoid common pitfalls.

My personal advice: Writing a service? Use dropwizard[0] Avoid EE6's version of CDI (WELD/OWB) and EE6 all together. Its slow and causes more problems than its worth. If you really want CDI, use gluice. Guava is your friend. Avoid JPA, s

Backing up to an external drive isn't enough if your really worried about the data. If your house burns down, or the single backup drive fails, your out of luck. Synology's devices support automatic backup to S3, use it.

Sounds like a complete mess and I see no reason to build an application that way. I certainly can't see a reason to create a separate query for every place in a view a model may be used just to avoid lazy loading. Maybe on performance cri

It has nothing to do with understanding and everything with having to create a bunch of excess code to deal with the way it works. As an example: I shouldn't have to write a filter to wrap the template rendering stage of request processing
