I think this is how some Diesel-electric locomotives are built, with Diesel engines creating electricity for electric motors, running the ICE at constant speed and minimum transmission (not sure a reduction is needed, probably not). Looks l

In Europe it is very different; in Romania they are almost never used, in the Switzerland they are almost mandatory.

In most of Europe there is no notion of punitive damages in a law suit. That means if you sue that company they will fix the questionnaire with no other consequences. 3 months later they can put it back, also without consequences. Suing the

A schema change combined with a soft delete is a very different scenario. RDBMS are a very expensive way to store JSON. Soft delete purpose is either short term "simulate delete until you are sure you can hard delete" or "hid

I would never do that. A delete trigger to a generic archive table that stores the row as a row, this is what I would do. JSON in a RDBMS is something that can be done, but rarely should be done. Why keep it in the database and not as a

For some reasons I was involved a lot with databases in the past 5 years (more than usual) and I don't remember to meet soft-delete implemented anywhere, but lifecycle is used almost everywhere. I think that soft delete may be an indic

by AdrianB1 2y ago
I have the same struggle figuring what the author wants to say about this. The difference between a soft delete and a lifecycle, in the context of the article, is just semantic.

I use a dozen of their relays and I am happy with it; for power metering they don't have a great solution, the 3 phase clamp is very expensive and there is no option for more, like Emporia Vue with 8 or 16 sensors. So yes, Shelly is wo

I think Japan is not racist, but xenofobe (they dislike and avoid other cultures, not races) and Israel is very non-racist as they are are united by the religion regardless the race. Also racism is not particularly worse than other similar

Interesting. I was doing this kind of stuff in high school, never had such problems and I don't know personally anyone that did (and I used to know a few dozen people practicing various styles of karate). In any case wrist pain suggest

Yes and no. There is a lot of performance in demonstrations and movies, still it is quite effective for a very well trained practician. But the most effective techniques don't look impressive on screen.

Jury trial is a common form of the legal system in USA, but we have the equivalent here in Europe as regular court (no jury). The discussion is court vs. arbitration , not jury vs. something else. The same applies to Europe, if binding.
