Doing that on the client side sounds pointless though, if you are already transmitting the ip.

For other electric cars the rate was 9% according to the study so your guess is likely wrong as the same would apply to all electric cars.

You can start with this https://github.com/apple/swift-homomorphic-encryption

Of course it is not the whole technology stack, but it is something at least. If your evaluation leads to potential problems, you can create issues right there on the github project!

This isn’t something inherent to SPAs, though sadly many (most?) do omit the history api and don’t provide usable URLs nor back/forward navigation.

This is glorious, and made me think; is there a reverse-adblock addon that would “click” on all ads it finds on a page and would load them silently in the background..?

2 hours in a discussion forum, where the discussion spans days or sometimes weeks is certainly an ”almost immediate” response.

Perception of time is subjective.

”Zalando is a Postgres operator that facilitates the deployment of a highly available (HA) Postgres cluster.”

Zalando is the company. ”Postgres Operator” is the software.

Happy user here, not much complaints about the operator come to mind.

Base docker images, such as Ubuntu have support for multiple architectures.

Building your own based on them isn’t really difficult at all; docker buildx works remarkably well and build tools such as maven, sbt, etc. seem to have rather decent support for building multiarch images.

Even better if you have decent build automation, implement cross building for amd64 and arm64 once and just make sure your FROM images support those.
