There are a few cases of ads that might not be practical to remove, though most of that would be more like sponsors and ad content that is a part of the show. You can certainly get live sports without ads, though you will of course still ha

There is no way that paying below market value here would amount to a fair evaluation of the owner's interests.

They are saying that this is what the want to do. They can't do that because it would be illegal. This is not just any law, it's in the German constitution ( https://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/gg/art_14.html ).

If they try to avoid paying the full price, this will simply be stopped by the courts. If they do this the proper, legal way it will be far too expensive and not do anything useful. Affordable housing is a very important topic, but this isn

Russia is the aggressor, is it that weird to consider it necessary and right to defend against the invasion of a sovereign country?

Russia invaded a sovereign country. Period. Europe and everyone else is entirely justified under international law to provide assistance to Ukraine to defend itself. Regarding your edit, Russia doesn't have the right to dictate neighbo

No idea how it looks right now, but at some point Twitter started to block reading replies without an account. And sometimes it blocked even more, so you could not follow links to read.

Adding a plasmid to E.coli is absolutely routine work and you wouldn't need much fancy equipment for that. But that is very far from creating bioweapons. Plasmids are not integrated into the genome, they stay separate. For viruses you&

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 1mo 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 1mo 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

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

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
