It was cheaper, I don't think it's much more complex than that. And with fossil fuels, countries without significant local production are always dependent on someone else, with most potential suppliers being problematic in some wa

It also looks like the US is reducing the amount of oil drawn from the strategic reserves ( https://www.eia.gov/dnav/pet/hist/LeafHandler.ashx?n=PET&s=W... ), that could also affect the price. But the hosti

That's an expensive mistake to make, though frying your HDDs is usually a lot cheaper than frying your GPU. It's seriously annoying that this is the case though. Unless you kept the cables in the original package or in a labelled

I don't think extinction-level events or something like killing a majority of the human population is particularly plausible at this moment. States don't host their nukes with AWS and a permanent connection. But you could create s

With the exception of multiplayer games with invasive anti-cheat measures, a very large number of games works very well on Linux now with Wine/Proton. When using Steam this mostly works just out of the box without fiddling.

You just need the rule of law for that. It helps to not elect blatantly corrupt people as president.

In EF Core this will almost certainly generate a query like "SELECT name FROM users WHERE id = 123 LIMIT 1;". The LINQ expression is transformed into SQL, and any expression that can't be transformed will cause an error to be

by fabian2k 22d ago
But using LINQ to query stuff is a core part of this ORM. And even if you access the full entity, it won't do an N+1 in the default configuration. You have to explicitly call Include() on any relation you want to fetch and it'll e

by fabian2k 22d ago
Yes, but in this context this just means that until you call ToList()/ToListAsync() you have an IQueryable. That represents a query, but isn't executed yet. Only at the point where you call a method like ToList (in this case First

by fabian2k 22d ago
EF Core does not lazy load by default. You have to explicitly include relations if you want them on an entity. You can enable lazy loading, but in the default configuration you usually don't have the N+1 problem.

In applications like NMR or MRI you still want to cool down your superconductors as much as possible even if they can handle higher temperatures. As far as I understand this still increases the amount of current they can handle and so incre

If you run a single application, or a few instances of the same application, you don't need an external pool and most frameworks have an internal connection pool anyway. Not sure if I'm missing anything here, but if I want case-in

MySQL had some problematic design decisions initially. They might be fixed now, but the impression remained. And later there was the added complication that they were bought by Oracle, so you didn't really know how this would turn out

The books get trashed because loose pages are much easier to scan.

by fabian2k 1mo ago
Do we know if they actually buy one copy of each book here? Or are they indiscriminately buying books in bulk and just processing all of them? The latter seems inefficient, so my first assumption would be that they would avoid that. But whi

Not everything is a SaaS application. There's a lot of software where you only run one or two application servers.

If you have a connection pooler in your application, and the DB is only used for this application, you don't need an external pool like PgBouncer. That is probably a pretty common scenario, and typical web frameworks include a connecti

Oral exams can also compensate a lot for different types of exam anxiety. Blanking on individual points doesn't matter as much, the examiner will help you along or ask along a different path. Doesn't help for someone that complete

But that is how certain exams are done right now. Though it's usually 30 minutes including overhead. It's not something you can do in classes with multiple hundred students, but it's certainly done at scale. I was the PhD stu

I certainly hope that the US finds a less destructive way of changing their reputation than Germany did.

The goal wasn't to save money, but to destroy the administrative capacity of the government. And to eliminate programs Musk, Trump and their cronies disliked, while circumventing the legal procedures. Of course it didn't save any

I've seen that in Germany as well. I was surprised that automatically recognized everything after throwing it in the bin. I knew such systems existed, I didn't think we had any in actual production use here. They seem to trust the

A large part of that failure rate is in phase 3. Your comparison with prototypes would be more like drug development before even phase 1. Phase 3 is enormously expensive, much more than the earlier parts. And what's even worse, you don

They did animal experiments first. But according to the article they didn't really look at the serious side effects observed in monkeys, or ignored them. But animal experiments can only provide warning signs here, they can't tell

It's worse than that. The therapy likely killed her, and her condition wasn't fatal in the first place.

There's so many ethical problems with the events as described in the article. The worst to me seems to be that the researchers/doctors seem to have downplayed the risks here. Which for a never before tried gene therapy that is mea

It's more of a problem with triggers. But in the end you're switching languages at that point, and devs that have no problem reading your backend language will not necessarily be good at reading stored procedures. Of course depend

You do not need stored procedures or functions to prevent SQL injection. Any Postgres client library from the last decade or two supports parametrized queries, and that's enough. Odds are, most people will use an ORM anyway, which also

The first thing a malicious AI worm would probably do is compromise enough developer machines and other servers to commandeer all the AI hardware it needs. So I think a purely digital AI attack would not need this. Now, once the AI can carr
