I see it more like sometimes shit is just hard to do well, taking time and effort to learn, and some developers don't put in the required work to reap the rewards.

Isn't the electrical grid down there a bit undersized, and in need of improvement anyway? I'm in Vancouver, BC, so I don't know for sure, but I keep seeing news stories about rolling blackouts fairly often. If that's the case, then it seem

Ahhh... I was just going by what was reported by someone at the keynote. Still, it's priced way cheaper than the previous versions, and I'd gladly pay the $50 for the convenience of a local patch/app server. (I have 5 macs in the house).

Historically you could use OSX Server as a local update/patch server, and have other Mac's on the LAN use it instead of downloading the same stuff again. They say they're making Lion Server free and easily configured, and I'm hoping that th

Not at all. The article says the agreement is over 10 years old, and to me seems to have been a smart move on Microsoft's part. Basically, they recognized that they were very reliant on NVidia's technology, and while buying from NVidia is

I don't have to not admit it, but your failure to not use double negatives caused me to not be unconfused. Just a bit.

As with all of their projects. With a project of this size, scope, and adoption, I'd imagine the "acceptance" will be somewhat rubber stamped, and the process will focus on setting up the proper ASF development environment, review of existi

Unless you subscribe to the concept of case sensitivity, that is.

That's part of the overall license you sign/agree to when you pay for the licenses or download it from their site.

And yet it was a correct answer for the question actually asked, not implied.

Maybe it is... who knows. It's a hell of a lot easier to do if you don't make it about straight random memorization though. I have a little memory association I do with every site I need an account/pass for, based on various characters out

Call me crazy, but I use my memory. I also use RSA fobs for the important/big stuff.

Was that their failing or yours? I'd tend to look at these types of services as a convenience, nothing more. If you allow yourself to become reliant on them for access to your personal data, like banking, etc., then I'd say that you put to

Odds are the helicopter hit a tail rotor on a fence or some such thing, and had a relatively uneventful landing, even though it was too damaged to be used for extraction. Helicopters can quite easily land if they lose power, etc., through a

Have you actually ever used an ORM? All of your posts strike me as being of an "I imagine it would be bad" nature, without actually speaking from experience. I get the impression that you don't really understand the complexity and capabili

If anyone has any questions about how I've used ORM, etc., feel free to email me at nettdata@gmail.com if you like. I don't usually keep tabs on old threads, and have no problems sharing some of my experiences in this.

On one system we used Java/Oracle/Hibernate and went with the big single cluster. The other system was a .NET stack, using NHibernate and a large number of SQLServer instances. We also worked with Microsoft on integrating their latest (at

The point of my post was to say that if you take a serious look at the ORM you want to use, fully understand the issues you may have with it, design/adapt your development process to help mitigate the issues you may run into, there are huge

The two big systems I architected where I made the decision to go with ORM's were the online EA Sports system (all EA Sports games on all platforms, currently running in a 7 node Oracle cluster), and most recently, the Need For Speed World

by nettdata 15y ago
I disagree. ORM's aren't a problem at all as long as you have the ability to override problematic queries with named queries, etc. ORM's can provide very real advantages when it comes to caching, development time, etc., as long as you revie

Sure, they're the global leaders when it comes to automotive ENTERTAINMENT, but that is precisely because they are entertaining, not journalistic. Just about EVERY "review" they do on cars is heavily biased, and in more than a few cases, ou

Like I said, I'm successful at finding things I'm looking for. In the last month, for instance, I've purchased: -- a pressure washer (had it in my garage within 90 mins of searching) -- an industrial grade hedge trimmer -- 4 dock floats --

Yeah, it's so bad that everyone uses it and it's making $50m a year. I wish I had a shitty product like that. And I even use it regularly to find stuff I want, locally, and cheap. The bastards.

Luckily, I'm using OS X, so I don't have anything as gauche as a keylogger to worry about. I have a much classier Keyboard Concierge.
