  1. I imagine they're referring to features typically provided by ORM frameworks, in that it'll map classes to each of your database tables (see: ActiveRecord, Hibernate, etc)

  2. What about Meltdown? on Intel's Latest 8th-Gen Core Processors Focus on Improving Wi-Fi Speeds (theverge.com) · · Score: 2

    That's great and all, but can we get chips that aren't vulnerable to Meltdown?

  3. I second this...oh well.

  4. Re:Google is not a tax on Apple and Google Face Growing Revolt Over App Store 'Tax' (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    In which case they better get their shit together, as I'm sure they woulnd't like the DOJ forcing them to allow access to 3rd party app stores since they're clearly abusing the monopoly they have on app distribution for iOS.

  5. Re:Did you know... on 22 States Ask US Appeals Court To Reinstate Net Neutrality Rules (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    It did for me as well, but it had more to do with Google Fiber entering the marketplace.

  6. Re:Still nothing in the iPhone 5SE size on The Next Flagship iPhone Will Support Apple Pencil and 512GB Flash Storage, Says Report (appleinsider.com) · · Score: 1

    Fuck, man. I so badly want an updated SE with wireless charing and the taptic engine. I really hope they don't screw that market segment out of it...

  7. Re:Seriously? on Hacker Posts Snapchat Source Code To GitHub (thenextweb.com) · · Score: 1

    What a great code-review process they have...

  8. Re:Half of the story is missing on Amazon Plans To Move Completely Off Oracle Software By Early 2020 (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    The problem with relational databases is that they can't scale beyond a single host.

    Uh, what? I'm pretty sure Oracle solved this problem decades ago via their RAC technology, not to mention PostgreSQL is almost there with the work being done on BDR.

  9. Isn't water vapor an even worse greenhouse gas? on Toyota Unveils Project Portal 2.0 Hydrogen Fuel-Cell Semi Truck (cnet.com) · · Score: 2

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't water vapor (the emissions from fuel-cell-based engines) an even worse greenhouse gas than CO2?

  10. Re:Negative environment, poor pay on Ask Slashdot: Why Did You Quit Your Last Job? · · Score: 1

    For sure. I worked at a company that was in perpetual startup mode. The work and the pay both sucked (I was originally hired as their Linux sysadmin, and moved into software development while retaining all of my sysadmin duties, including being on call 100% of the time). I was essentially working 2 jobs, but being paid for half of one. I won't make that mistake again.

    No

  12. Re:Maybe its time to admit... on New Book Paints Different Picture of Workplace Behavior At Google and Facebook · · Score: 1

    Very selfishly, they try to demand the whole society conform to their arbitrary parameters, then respond with violent outbursts when they are not satisfied, or when people engage socially in ways that best suit [i]THEM[/i] instead of the social justice warrior.

    This right here is the biggest issue I have with the far left.

  13. Re: Hereâ(TM)s the Translation: on Microsoft Could Move Some Jobs Abroad Because of US Immigration Policies, Top Exec Says (cnbc.com) · · Score: 0

    Fact of the matter is half of the r&d staff are foreign. Because that's where the talent is.

  14. Of course they are on ARM's Own Employees Complain About Anti-RISCV Website (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 0

    It's a free alternative that directly competes with them. See also: MS vs Linux

  15. Re:inb4 she is invited to HuffPost on Game Company Fires Two Employees Who Complained About 'Mansplaining' on Twitter (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Mark my words. She will be hired publicly to some prominent feminist organization despite her reputation as a sexist scum.

    *cough* HuffPost *cough cough*

  16. Re:NO, it was not the result of a Reddit witch hun on Game Company Fires Two Employees Who Complained About 'Mansplaining' on Twitter (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    She is the victim here in terms of her firing. Just not in terms of people being pissy at here. Don't conflate the two. Employers should not have power over our personal lives.

    And conversely, she shouldn't act as a mouthpiece for her company during her personal time (and being a rabid bitch to her employer's customers in the process). She effectively forfeited her "personal time" when she decided to play the role of PR representative and got rightly busted when she decided to start treating her company's customers like trash.

  17. Myra had the baby.

  19. Re:Upgrading existing WPA2 WiFI APs on Wi-Fi Alliance Launches WPA3 Security Standard (securityweek.com) · · Score: 1

    I would imagine new hardware would be required, IF you want to offload the new features off of the CPU, otherwise updated drivers/wpa_supplicant daemon should probably be sufficient.

  20. There is less contrast with darker colors.. I don't know how you change that.

    What about the possibility of using infrared light, as opposed to visible light, for this? Wouldn't that more-or-less put everyone on the same page?

  21. And no Meltdown on Shots Fired Again Between CPU Vendors AMD and Intel (tomshardware.com) · · Score: 2

    Regardless, those who do swap their Intel Core silicon for an AMD Threadripper chip will gain 10 cores and quad-channel memory, not to mention quite a bit of resale value.

    Not to mention the lack of Meltdown.
