Absolutely absurd take from Google here. What could they be thinking? It's like they want app store legislation.

Use of ORMs is often a performance choke point. Raw DB queries are often much, much faster. Almost always, the more you abstract, the worse you perform. It's great as a developer b…

This is relevant in my field (Waste Management) as there's the long ton, the short ton, and long and short hundredweight (CWT). All different and confusing!

Columbus, OH is pretty great. The Dublin Entrepreneurial Center has cheap office space and access to the Metro Data Center on the same floor. There are a couple nice co-working spo…

Here's what I do: random long strings as answers for each question, and save them with the credentials in KeePass. That way I keep track of each one, and they can't be used against…

PHP and MySQL are actually very fast, check out Tech Empower's benchmarks ( https://www.techempower.com/benchmarks/#section=data-r10&hw=... ). Remember Facebook is built on PHP. Fo…

One thing that I don't see in these kinds of articles, and what I think is most important: MySQL speed. When I was researching technology, I compared simple pages that read some da…
