I've developed a deep distrust of ORMs at all. I've found that the majority of simple CRUD projects are better served by just having a DAL with explicitly written (or generated) methods instead.

That's a big part of it, but there's also been a general pullback from EVs. Many factors have influenced that, including the phasing out of early adopter tax credits (generally happening even before Trump but accelerating now), di

>The US group, led by Elon Musk, delivered 336,681 cars in the first quarter, far fewer than the 390,000 forecast by analysts and the 387,000 it delivered in the same period last year. That's a 13% decline in sales. They delivered 3

300 Ah * 3.2 V => 960 Wh ~= 1 kWh $80 per cell (before shipping) on the top Google product result for EVE MB31. That's a good bit cheaper even than when I looked last, in early 2021.

Yes - if it were open-source, you could self host it.

I assume you're talking about SMS 2FA code. TOTP doesn't require any networking - it's just an HMAC of the current time using a preshared key. Whether or not SMS 2FA works with a VoIP number is a decision made by the 2FA prov

Don't forget about tire pressure monitoring sensors (TPMS). They operate around 433 MHz and each have a unique ID to stop your car from misreporting a low tire pressure from a car sitting next to you at a stoplight. They are required b

With the very welcome changes to how Google stores location history, they will no longer be capable of answering geofence warrants. The cell carrier themselves (Verizon / T-Mobile / BT / Orange etc) can still provide some tow

Sure, but couldn't a malicious SSH server use this key to proxy a connection to another opkssh server?

Let me throw out a guess: Ukraine is a wartime ally, Brazil is the seventh largest country in the world, India is the first, and the UK speaks English and has a lot of connections to USA.

How does this prevent replay attacks, either by a malicious SSH server proxying the auth flow from another machine, or by a malicious server pulling out the signed IdP claims and passing them to another OpenID Connect target?

Regarding single mode vs multi-mode ... other than cost, is there any reason at all to run multi-mode fiber in 2025? I was under the impression that single mode was better in basically every way.

The same way antibiotics make bacteria "stronger" - evading them is survival itself for some of the products and teams, so they will evade them. The arms race always continues. This is a powerful new weapon that will shut down a l

This was the central plot twist of "Spec Ops: The Line", a video game from 2012 that started out like your typical Call of Duty clone shooter and escalated to an interesting if a bit twisted look at how PTSD affects soldiers.

Hrm "unlimited IOPS"? I suppose contrasted against the abysmal IOPS available to Cloud block devs. A good modern NVMe enterprise drive is specced for (order of magnitude) 10^6 to 10^7 IOPS. If you can saturate that from database c

Is sample contamination more impactful (likely to lead to a false positive) at 100 or 200 cycles than at 20? I remember some distrust of high PCR cycle counts during COVID but I never quite understood the fear.

Ooh that feature was new to me. See PEP 570[1] for more details. My personal opinion is that this is not something that any code should do... but I'm not the BDFL! 1: https://peps.python.org/pep-0570/

Hrm it is a bit funny that modern cars are drive-by-wire (at least for throttle) and yet they still require a skilled driver to follow a speed profile during testing, when theoretically the same thing could be done more precisely by a devic
