Does my opinion on SQL and ORMs matter anymore? What does Claude think about ORMs an SQL? So far Claude seems to be content with my existing patterns of using JPA/Hibernate. We've …

I didn't realize Apple had a kid mode. Of course I see Apple watches everywhere, but I haven't talked to any parents about them. When we got the gizmo 3ish years ago, it was popula…

I have a verizon watch only account. I was able to get the new app working, but it was a struggle. I think it worked on the 3rd or 4th attempt. I had to start over and lost all of …

I use both SQL and ORMs every day. I've used hibernate since 2004. I've certainly had some difficult times with it; but overall it is a net positive. I find that it generally works…

I tweaked the css in my browser with developer tools.

There's a mass delusion in the industry that using Kubernetes has to be hard, grossly over complex, and is always wrong if you are not Netflix scale. Is the system as described by …

I've been using Macbook Pros for a long time. I usually spend 3-4k on them. I recently purchased an 14" Asus ZenBook for $1300 and loaded Omarchy Linux on it. I wanted to have some…

Some people get entirely too dogmatic about their “XYZ is wrong, don’t do it!” beliefs. At the time I implemented JWT in our system, many years ago; it was the most straightforward…

I maintain a system I created in 2004 (crazy right). Not sure how we lived; but at the time, emojis were not as much of a thing. This has come to bite me several times.

I don't like being negative and I always appreciate open source / free software but.. I tried using it in a small k8s cluster on digital ocean. Initial installation using the recom…

In some instances, watermarks can be distracting from the perception of what the final product will be.

I recently used this to create a web site design. I wanted to see it without watermarks. Then after the customer approved the design, I purchased the image to use in the implementa…

So anytime someone thinks something is dubious, their brain is "looking for patters and finding it even if it’s not there". I disagree, sometimes your brain makes connections and o…

As a mid-40s marathoner, this is really interesting to me. I don't feel sorry for him; other than that he lived life with an ego condition allowing him to do this. That is sad, but…

While I think he is quite funny, I would be pissed if I had to pay money to take his class.

This article made me chuckle. It is spot on. I worked at a trip planning startup around 2006 - 2007. A lot of money was burned, fortunately it wasn’t mine!

I’ve enjoyed using the Kubernetes environment on Docker Desktop for Mac. It’s been pretty good.. paying for it is not an unreasonable request.

I’ve used DO for around 8 years and have had mostly great service & experience with them. At the time of switching, we cut our hosting fees from around $1k to under $300. Now we ar…

I agree with this completely. Apple recently required that anyone using 3rd party authentication (google, fb, etc) in their iOS app, must also provide support for Apple ID signin. …

Counting in dog years?

If it isn’t profitable to be a landlord; why would anyone be a landlord? And if there are fewer landlords, who provides housing? The government? I’d rather live in a really bad tin…

I’m sticking with MySpace

I'm not trying to go out of my way to be snarky... BUT I find it funny that someone writing about why a technology sucks; can't manage to keep their blog online. REST is simple, si…

I don't bike in winter, but 'Fat Biking' has gone way beyond fad here in Northern Michigan.. You see people commuting around town in them all winter long... a foot of new snow is n…

The Yelp episode of South Park is one of the best. "I'm a food critic with Yelp.com... umkay." http://southpark.cc.com/full-episodes/s19e04-youre-not-yelpi...
