decimation: mircea_popescu: "the pitch of despair of the Franks and the Goths and whatever other barbarians by far and quite widely exceeded the bitterness of actual Roman Romans " So you are saying that Argentina is roughly upper Germania ca. 700? Sounds legit.
benkay: on the menu this week: charred corn crepes and long-marinated pastor

BingoBoingo: benkay: Well automatic transmission is less gearbox and more hydaulic slush box
benkay: well, especially for mobile apps - in my experience most of the data is local to the phone
benkay: a significant chunk of the remaining apps are going to get popular and have load requirements that rendering the abstraction layer insufferable.
thestringpuller: Damn BingoBoingo, i feel the same exact way
kakobrekla: <benkay> with an ORM you'll inevitably find yourself writing raw SQL. <- depends, but in most cases generally not specific to anyone, perf is not an issue
benkay: that demonic AI in between you and the gearbox will prevent you doing anything to burn fuel at a rate sufficient to eke performance out of the thing.
benkay: and with an automatic transmission you're limited to "GIVE ME ALL THE FAST RIGHT NOW...please."
benkay: that layer of abstraction in between you and the machine is going to either give you a headache down the road or you're not going to get the performance the machine is capable of
benkay: in the same way that if you're relying on an Object Relational Model to talk to your database, you're not actually writing data to your data store.
benkay: if you're not in control of the gearbox, you're not driving the machine
