kovacs_on Postgres's lateral joins allow for quite the good eDSL

I think the point they were trying to make is for using ORM for everything until you need a query complex enough or performant enough to drop back to a raw SQL layer.

That's the pattern I've seen the most with ORM setups these days. That or dropping performance heavy sql into stored procedures but in the end it's all a matrix of ease of use/maintainability in some scenarios vs full control and performance tuning and what makes sense for that use case.

kovacs_on Automatic emergency braking should become mandatory, feds say

Hyundai had a not so great reputation in the early 2000s in the US. In recent years however this opinion seems to have shifted.

Been driving an Ioniq 5 2023 for a couple months now with no phantom/emergency braking issues. I'm not in love with the performance of the lane keep without being on an HDA2 marked highway. I have to fight it just enough for it to not be useful on certain well marked backroads.

kovacs_on Single Page Applications using Rust

Blazor Server downloads a small js script (SignalR) to the client on connection. All user events are sent back to the server through SignalR, then DOM changes are sent back to the client based off of user input.

I use it at work for internal intranet web apps so it's pretty handy for our use case.

This is actually one of my largest struggles with docker currently. Thanks for linking your tool!

kovacs_on Malicious Charging Cable

Probably pen testing primarily. Very similar to a rubber ducky tool.
