ORMs are a great idea and can save a lot of time and prevent a lot of errors. However, they are not a silver bullet. If you have performance bottlenecks you still need to know SQL and should be looking at the SQL that the ORM generates. The

I've hired people from Ohio. The salaries are higher than 45k unless you are straight out of college.

I'm not sure it is clear what fee-based means in the article. There are some that get a commission based on the products that they sell. In other words, the mutual fund that they use they might get a cut of. A fee-only adviser is one w

And the other side of the coin is that being too focused on documenting all of your code usually ends up with lots of out of date and confusing documentation over time.

I used to work construction. I usually had to drive 15 to 45 minutes to get to a job, which could be almost anywhere. No way could I walk, bike, or take public transport. Cars are wonderful but I understand wanting to make them cleaner, mor

Competition is certainly part of it. Up until T-Mobile got aggressive it seemed like services kept getting worse and prices kept getting higher. Now, even Verizon seems to be lowering prices. Hooray for T-Mobile! Edit: just realize you said

Just looked it up and cell phone use while driving leads to 1.6 million crashes each year. I'm guessing they don't all have their licenses revoked.

I agree, but there is also news about how Tesla's automatic braking features saved people from getting into collisions. I would think that might counteract some of the negative news. See this one from six months ago: https:/&#x2F

On the other hand, if you know that the technology is not completely infallible, but better than humans in a general sense and will save lives by releasing it, wouldn't you be morally obligated to do so? Wouldn't holding it back

What about the Sahara desert? Seems like Africa has plenty of sand--why are they taking it out of rivers? Expensive to transport?

Perhaps cars will be smaller? If people choose to take the cheapest available self-driving taxi, which happens to be the smallest car that will fit their need, cars may end up smaller and less space will be taken up by vehicles on the roads

FWIW, I live in Michigan and know people that send their kids to charter schools and they are quite happy with it.

Tax evasion is illegally not paying the taxes that are due. If you are taking advantages of legal loopholes, it is not tax evasion.

Cost/benefit--if the rewards are judged to outweigh the risks and there is a clear benefit, people will adopt it. If money/time can be saved, it will be very popular.

Actually, being tall I really like Ryanair for the simple fact that their seats don't recline. Don't have to worry about somebody in front of me smashing my knees.

It says the NUMBER of people doing so is at an all time high. How many per capita? The absolute number is kind of silly to use as the population grows over time...

Fantastic that they are taking over the Open Source library that was already out there. Have used it and the maintainer had obviously put in a ton of work on it.

I wonder how much having to be globally competitive affects the income growth? Non-skilled factory labor is the easiest thing to move to a different country. The 1990s-now were huge for pulling the lowest of the low out of poverty around th

In Germany the price advertised is the price paid. Not so in America due to taxes and fees.

Even if the hottest part of the day is past prime solar hours, with a solar system you won't be discharging the battery as fast since the system will be powering the AC for most the day. Also, with that much usage, it might be time to

Some other reasons why Detroit collapsed: - Imposing a city income tax whereas neighboring suburbs did not. - Corrupt and short sighted city management - Crippling bureaucracy and union jobs in city government (as of 2012, the water depart

Have this near where I live, but wish there was just a place to take it throughout the year. Don't like having to keep stuff around for ages until one of those days comes around.

Where I live, if you leave anything large and metal by the curb on trash day, scrappers will come take it within hours. :) Hazardous waste is a big problem though.

The author advocates "serverless" from the get-go because a "single server is not enough for anything non-trivial these days". I completely disagree. Servers are beefier than ever and scaling up has never been cheaper.

Time spent working on the wrong thing is not productive. How do you measure quality in software? If you need to measure quality in order to measure productivity, than one cannot truly measure productivity.

A lot of times such houses are built by large homebuilder companies. They employ architects and landscape designers. Why does it still seem like things are in such poor taste? Maybe it's because that's not what people want to buy.

The problem with "significantly over-pay" is that you end up with incentives for people to quit other low paying jobs and switch, which will force those employers to either significantly increase wages to match or more likely, aut
