This law might have never come up if we had better parental controls at every level of the software and hardware stack. I'm a parent I have parent controls setup on my child's devices but it's very hard to dial it in properly

Are we willing to lock all humans into an antiquated medium for the sake of this control? I ask this as someone who now watches only a tiny amount of television now. I watch a lot of content online and even create my own content. The only

I don't buy it. The problem with Windows RT is that they made it impossible to run ARM binaries on Windows. If they had just allowed, as an example, Mozilla to make an ARM build of Firefox for Windows they'd have done it. And i

What's funny is that ORMs giving you directly access to SQL is a leaky part of the abstraction but in this case that's good! I think being locked into a some abstraction is so common place that you don't even consider it bein

Most ORMs give a way to integrate nicely with SQL if you need to reach down to that layer and still use the rest of the ORM features. There is no silver bullet; everything is a trade off. Almost all of the time, the trade off is entirely w
