Indeed, just as the plague is not really the best solution to over-population.

That is the perfect example, because ORMs basically solve a problem that no one really had.

To be fair, I suspect that some newbies with no database experience may have had that problem, but the better solution is to teach them the proper way.
Newbie: I want to drive from point A to point B, but I don't know how to drive.

Agree, 100%.

LOL!! Great analogy and analogies always win.

That's backward; ORMs should be the last resort, not the first.

Now that the technologies behind our servers and networks have stabilized, IT can look forward to a different kind of constant change. "Because things are the way they are, things will not stay the way they are."

I was hoping someone would get the joke/irony/whatever of this article. Even the acceleration doesn't seem to have stabilized.

I'll have some of the same stuff they have taken.
Maybe that'll shift my perception enough to see it their way.

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Details of a new NSA program have emerged from Wired's meticulous Snowden profile this morning. As part of the interview, Snowden described an ongoing NSA project called Monstermind, planned as a new cyberdefense capability. The system would scan web metadata for signs of an attack in progress, then respond automatically to blunt the attack and potentially even retaliate. When turned on, it will shut down the agency

And then self-desctruct.
I'd say it's a malware-replacement. You only need ours, not the other ones.

But, what if I don't wanna help you help me help you, for, in helping you, I don't necessarily believe it will help me when I help you.
Besides, this is a free country (well, or so we're told... what, with nearly $18 trillion in debt, over 90% debt to Gross Domestic Product output, of which, when such a ratio is reached, in all of history, the nation crumbles).
As such ~ Help yerself, there, NSA! (actually, not really.)
Besides, you did just that to my computer, cell phone calls, emails, and everything else digital.

Bah. I worked at REDACTEDResearch 20 years ago and they had this tech in the can.

The USB Promoter Group announced today that it has finalized the design of the USB Type-C plug, a new type of USB plug that's designed to completely replace every size of all current USB connectors. And by the time I have a machine with one, it will be out of date

That xkcd perfectly expressed my thoughts when I saw the new USB connector.
No need to think any longer, just reference appropriate web link.
|
|
|
|

Yay - a connector that, in a few years, will be ubiquitous enough to be used generally and will support 10Gbps.
...while in the meantime Thunderbolt 2 is already at 20Gbps.
Sigh. Just as long as USB 3.0 Type-B dies a quick, but painful death.
