I (with my family) lived 5 years on a 13 m sailboat. I added AIS and EPIRB to the boat as we had many off-shore passages. AIS (class b) costs about $500 (US $). EPIRB is about $400 with a $200 every 24 month cost.

I have had a number of contracts where my entire job was to fix the performance problems introduced by using a ORM. ORMs add a layer of complexity to your code and a huge risk of really bad SQL.

My experience is that ORMs fail at dealing with reports, searching data and all large data updates. If all your application needs is a single row of data tied to some other set of single rows of data then an ORM might be of limited benefit

Most of my development is cross platform. I switch every day from Windows, to Mac, to 64 bit Linux, to Linux on ARM and then back around every 4 days of work. I also test every day on iPhone, iPad and 3 different Android systems.

Just in case this is a real problem I have put together some quick scripts that check for and can remove this. The code is up on github.com as https://github.com/pschlump/linux-rootkit-expunger.git

I can imagine what he is saying. In a Cherokee 180 4 person airplane you do steer on the ground with your feet and control the throttle with your hand. In a Gulfstar 50 you steer on the ground with a dial for your left hand placed off on

Every single person that reads HN should talk in person to two people that don't read HN and explain SOPA/PIPA and why they should contact congres and complain about SOPA/PIPA. Phone calls and letters are better than email.

Tomorrow I will swim with fish. Today it is stormy and we are safely tucked in a protected harbor. I program when the weather is bad and swim when it is good.

That world is not completely gone! I use VI to connect to amazon AWS servers over a satellite link. It is faster than 1200 baud but with horrible latency. VI is the only editor that works.

I just finished implementing BrowserID in an application that I am building. It is quick and easy to use. Perhaps 20 minutes to get it to work. I used OpenID before. OpenID is annoying and difficult. I spent 3 full days working on it.

I just finished coding a web service in both Java, PHP, and node.js. Java took 1848 lines of code. PHP 548. Node 201. In my tests Node uses much less CPU and has way better performance than Java or PHP. 201 lines is far easier to get wo

There is no problem to fix - JavaScript is the 2nd best language. LISP is better. KnR C is 3rd. No good language is easy to learn and understand.

Interestingly enough - I subscribe to a email list that has an email address that fails to validate at google. Most irritating.

It looks a lot like Forth (a RPN language). Many years ago I worked on a hardware project to build a Forth machine specifically for running ""reversed lisp"".

I would be interested in a set of tutorials on buttons, drop shadows, torn paper effects, header design, logo design text effects - all of the stuff that I use or need to use Photoshop for.

I live in an area in the USA where Verizon has been testing IP6 for months. My solution for a business that I support is converting all the routers over to DD-WRT. So far it has handled all of it with amazing grace. Am I missing somethin
