I find that moving the full query system into the front end is where most front end devs really want to be. They want a full power query system for the data instead of continuous rounds of re-inventing the transport layer, REST, GraphQL, *

Yes, you can do it in DNS. Update the record with your new ingress, then wait for the timeout on the old record to assert itself and the new connections move over. Not all DNS servers properly observe caching timeouts, so some customers ma

Arguably you can buy the mobile variants of the Ryzen 7000 series, like 7940HS/7840HS, as a package, cheaper per core than the 7950X. Depending on the use case it may be a better fit. Definitely if footprint and/or power consump

Won't be winner takes all. The people who use local models will have requirements or desires that lean them that way. The rest will use the easier to stand up large corp offerings. Only way this changes is if there is a very large pe

Probably an unpleasant conversation with the board. Resign, or be fired. This is very likely covered in the contract to begin with so there isn't much room for negotiation unless the board feels he's breached some significant con

nim+httpbeast is a multi threaded library by default. Node, bun are effectively single threaded. A cursory search indicates that the go library is single threaded by default. So the nim comparison is a bit of apples and oranges. Also, the

Something to keep in mind is that all of the tables are only trying to measure one thing and lay out the effect of the one variable. But in reality these can be mixed and matched for the desired performance characteristics. 10x is indeed

The top end charge voltage is particularly sensitive, this is the most chemically unstable state of the cell charge cycle. I really wish cell phones and computers came with an adjustment to max cell voltage. Cutting even 10% capacity can d

Would be nice if systems offered more bifurcation. An NVMe SSD on pcie 4 could easily run off 2 lanes and be fine. 1 lane for 5. You lose a bit of top end transfer that shows up in the benchmarks, but it's near impossible to tell.

Sabrent has a 8TB M.2 as well. It's expensive. Enterprise space can be reasonable to look at. 7.68TB $400, similar to the QVO but much better quality flash and interface. https://serverpartdeals.com/collections/so

Children don't get their own phones till they are ~16 and have more independence. They need them at some point, but too early is like giving a child crack. We have a family flip phone that I can give out as needed when a child is goin

You have to explicitly use .innerHTML. As I said, "do work", not that it is impossible. No SPA frameworks do this by default. The default is $DOMElement.textContent = value, which has no escape potential. Everything rendered by

SSR has more potential for security issues because you're often rendering some set of data from your database, which may come from a user, out to a browser which will then parse and execute code based on that rendering. You have to be
