Panzer 87 is the Swiss designation for the Leopard 2A4 tanks. So those are an older version of the modern Leopard 2, similar to those already sent to Ukraine (2A4 to 2A6).

I would translate "not consistently candid with the board" as "he lied to the board about something important enough to fire him on the spot". This seems like the kind of statement lawyers would advise you to not make pu

Another pretty consumer-hostile thing German publishers sometimes do is to split books into multiple parts in the German version. This does have a legitimate reason in some cases as the German version will be longer and you can hit some lim

I think that is likely, though the current source generators are often a bit cumbersome to use. Though that is why they're adding interceptors, which while it is a bit of a controversial feature is kinda necessary to implement source g

.NET uses a lot of reflection, and you need to replace that with other mechanisms for AOT. And for modern .NET (previously named .NET Core, the version that also runs on Linux) you can package the runtime with the binary. You can even creat

This is for native AOT binaries, not for the typical case. Though this release and the previous ones did contain improvements for trimming binaries, which is what you need to use to make non-AOT binaries smaller.

My understanding is that this kind of industrial robot should never be active while humans are near. So one possibility would be that the usual safety precautions were ignored here as obviously a human was within reach while the robot was s

Games in C# might be written in Unity, and a lot of those improvements wouldn't apply there. So in that context this might be accurate because it's an entirely different runtime.

There are cases where using the straightforward LINQ code would be a lot faster than a lower level alternative. For example when the code can be vectorized and use AVX instructions, which is implemented for quite a few LINQ methods. A strai

Didn't know there was even an argument here. And the first example is some extremely basic and fundamental stuff, the difference between a bacterium and the toxin it produces. Any biology textbook would cover that. This seems like a ve

Any alternative fuel will have to establish sufficient infrastructure for refueling, that will be a major challenge. It's also a challenge for EVs, but those have the advantage that you can also charge them at home in many cases. And a

The alternatives are only slowly taking shape, and the network effects are pretty strong. So I'm not surprised that it is slow, but my impression is that the efforts to move away are getting more serious. It varies by topic, but in som

It was more of a general misunderstanding on how React Query is supposed to work, partially triggered by some mistakes in defining the query keys that meant that React Query didn't work as intended. I'd recommend this blog post (o

which is likely much better than making the wrong assumption because you know what "cache" means. Check the docs, cacheTime is very likely not doing what you expected. A typical expectation would be that "cacheTime" cont

There have been endless discussions about state management in React. React Query solved the most common and most annoying part of state management for me, which was everything that you fetched via the network. The part that remains is strai

COVID was a serious threat for anyone over 60 for example, that is already far more than 1% of the population. Without the vaccines many more people would have died.

Certain gain of function experiments, e.g. modifying an animal virus to be able to infect humans could create viruses that might behave very similar to SARS-CoV2 if leaked. We now know more about the potential consequences of such a leak, w

One thing the pandemic certainly has shown is just how dangerous an otherwise unremarkable animal virus can be if it gains the ability to infect humans. Simply because nobody has a pre-existing immunity it gains enormous advantages in its a

I'm always surprised when I see this opinion. I think I might be writing fundamentally different kinds of applications because I need dynamic queries all the time. I often need several different kinds of filters for an endpoint that ca

The virus the vaccine was first tested is quite different than the version we faced later. The virus is not a static target, but a quickly evolving one. And the later variants were far, far more contagious than the initial one.

The criteria for the original license were the reduction in deaths and disease. Transmission wasn't even tested in the original phase III trials. The vaccines achieved their primary purpose, they prevented death and severe disease. COV

The vaccines massively reduced mortality and severe disease in the vulnerable populations. That is a big win. They also could have stopped the spread for the early variants, but the later ones were simply too contagious. There simply was no

There absolutely was an enormous amount of misinformation around Hydroxychloroquine and Ivermectin. And as far as it was picked up politically, that was almost exclusively by Republicans. And Hydroxychloroquine was certainly dropped much la

Registration is very useful, e.g. it means that you can easily vote in all elections without any additional steps. You automatically get a notification in your mail and don't have to do anything else to vote.

The ability to release memory could be very useful. WSL2 works very well for me in general, but on a Notebook without excessive RAM it can be problematic for some use cases. Anything that has large spikes in memory usage can be seriously an

Just looking at your site my first impression would be that the whole business model seems very shady. You're saying that you're somehow bring new users to my shop and charge 30% for that. Which would be fair if you can actually d

Just to get an impression for the scale, the paper that is linked in the article shows that there were ~40000 deaths due to overdose in 2010 and a bit more than 100000 deaths in 2021. So this is not just fentanyl becoming a larger part of t

There is a fundamental difference between killing people, placing bombs and gluing yourself to a road. If your definition of terrorism includes all of these, it's useless.
