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 diff…

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…

I certainly hope that the US finds a less destructive way of changing their reputation than Germany did.

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 t…

> Creating widespread non-consensual nude images of primarily women and children That is an example of ignoring laws and regulations. So that is certainly relevant as context to th…

I've seen that in Germany as well. I was surprised that automatically recognized everything after throwing it in the bin. I knew such systems existed, I didn't think we had any in …

A large part of that failure rate is in phase 3. Your comparison with prototypes would be more like drug development before even phase 1. Phase 3 is enormously expensive, much more…

They did animal experiments first. But according to the article they didn't really look at the serious side effects observed in monkeys, or ignored them. But animal experiments can…

It's worse than that. The therapy likely killed her, and her condition wasn't fatal in the first place.

There's so many ethical problems with the events as described in the article. The worst to me seems to be that the researchers/doctors seem to have downplayed the risks here. Which…

It's more of a problem with triggers. But in the end you're switching languages at that point, and devs that have no problem reading your backend language will not necessarily be g…

You do not need stored procedures or functions to prevent SQL injection. Any Postgres client library from the last decade or two supports parametrized queries, and that's enough. O…

The first thing a malicious AI worm would probably do is compromise enough developer machines and other servers to commandeer all the AI hardware it needs. So I think a purely digi…

They're the first, I strongly doubt they'll be the last to adjust prices that much. The big cloud providers might have enough margins to eat the cost increases, especially since ba…

How many liters per 100 km does a typical US car consume?

I don't know enough about this specific party, but a quick look at the Wikipedia page about them shows this quote, which to me does seem to suggest that the label is defensible: > …

There's a huge difference between enforcing reasonable immigration laws and what some right-wing parties are proposing. I don't know enough about this specific party, but you'll fi…

The vast majority of duplicate closures use already answered questions as duplicates. So ideally that question should have answers that apply to the new question as well. In my obs…

Yes, you can. I am using that in production right now. An ASP.NET Core application as a self-contained single-file binary, without AOT. .NET AOT right now is a very specialized sol…

You don't need AOT for a single self-contained binary. This already works with C#, but it's still JIT-based.

AOT is entirely independent of single file binaries. And self-contained binaries that run without the framework installed are again a separate concept. There are some dependencies …

Journalism is allowed to have an opinion, that doesn't make it propaganda.

Assume you fetch a single customer entity with their 100 order entities as includes. With single query this will join both tables and produce 100 rows that contain the order data b…

I'd consider keeping the other personal data to be still easily justifiable, as you might want to support various account recovery options. And the odds that a user forgot their pa…
