The funny thing is that the article here preaches that ORMs are here to make SQL easier, which runs counter to the perceived benefit that your devs won't deal with SQL once an ORM is in place (or atleast that is how I was introduced to

Here is my reverse ask: Why should there be? Isn't being an extremely highly valued company with a near monopolistic grip on the search and ads market, an outlier? Also, I am just not sold on the idea that undervaluation is holding sta

I would say that the government is not the right institution to take this up. They should support secondary app stores, or legislate to force Apple and Google to make their stores more developer friendly. Getting involved in this business,

This. However, it should reduce power being wielded by people with money alone and incentivize wealth being spread more evenly. If some one has to spread their moolah to the their twice or thrice removed cousins, I would still consider an e

Surface Pro 6 is the way. Sold my Macbook Air (Early 2015) for the latest model and did not regret it. 2K display, very decent hardware and responsive. WSL is a excellent way to use linux tools on windows. And you can use it like a tablet.

But aren't the exceptionally talented(2%) people supposed to win way more than 3%, if we assume talent plays a larger role. It is not a bad output, but not good enough either considering they are exceptional. The paper probably indicat
