I knew it wasn't quite right, but wanted to make sure you were aware of it as an option. And I take your point on the doc dbs, I've always been interested, but haven't found the right opportunity. Will keep looking!

If you're doing a lot of relational joins with Include, you can set set `AsSplitQuery()`. I don't think that's exactly the same but it is design to mitigate the costs of a huge query.

How big was the sample size in Antarctica?

Boise took its Pride flag down. But new art has popped up at City Hall. What it cost “The flag is not our only form of expression,” a Council Member previously said.

The famous Andor line is that "tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle." Here is a perfect example of that through malicious compliance: Idaho forced the city of Boise to remove its Pride flags. So the city painted rainbows everywhere else.

Realizing that some of my inexplicable sadness about the Artemis II stuff is that it feels like a trans-dimensional communication from an America that took a different path and chose joy instead of fear and hate.

Jeff Bezos has $222 billion.

If he paid my wealth tax this year, we could fund insulin in America for everyone who needs it plus free school lunch for every kid in Texas—and have plenty of money left over.

And Bezos would still have $215 billion dollars to spare.

This Reddit post is formatted like a joke but it’s actually a very dry recitation - at times, direct quotes - of America’s public war strategy over the last month. This can’t go on. This is deranged. Impeach and imprison.

The media is supposed to clearly convey when something is unnatural, unhealthy, illegal, immoral, etc. Like you said, they only have a problem with that with Trump, but I would lay that completely on the outlets responsible.

`int[] arr = [1,2,3,4];` is a valid initialization. It only fails with `var` because there are multiple collection types to choose from (List, array, IReadOnlyList, HashSet, etc.), so the language would have to decide what the "default" collection was.

Congress is a bastion of Republican bigotry News media need to connect the ugly dots, because there are lots of them

When Republican Rep. Mary Miller started a sentence in 2021 with “Hitler was right …” it was a sign that racism was a key characteristic of Republicans in Congress.
My free Stop the Presses newsletter cites more than a dozen examples of bigotry by GOP lawmakers. Major media need to highlight this.

They keep stealing shit from the people they detain. Remember how they took that kid’s cell phone and sold it for cash? Just straight up lawless gangsters

Taxpayers’ Tab for Donald Trump’s Golf Habit Crosses $100 Million This is Trump's 56th visit to his course in West Palm Beach and 110th golf day in just over 14 months in office, keeping him on track to spend $300 million on golf.

President Trump to be awarded the PGA Peace Prize.

To whoever did this at the #NoKings in Boston: Thank you.❤️

It made me tear up. And we must to be reminded of needless damage to humanity that results directly from the careless, bellicose bluster coming from the Pentagon and White House.

The US media is the only environment that treats this administration as normal and rational. The combination of the fear of being labeled as liberal and oligarchic money has castrated our fourth estate completely. Thank goodness we can at least access world news from other countries.

"As Republicans have told the American people repeatedly since the Iran war began, for no apparent reason, we must all sacrifice," writes columnist @rexhuppke.bsky.social. bit.ly/4rQ50Y3

Sure, wasn't trying to take away from that. But it seems in general like for some it only registers when it gets to that level 🙃

It's amazing to me that this point has been obvious for well over a decade and folks are still discovering it.

It wasn't prerelease, and it has happened multiple times in the past few years.

Unfortunately broken SDKs seem to be released fairly regularly. The last time they updated I think the argument was that the dependencies were just not populated in Nuget yet...but that shouldn't happen.

The Public is Getting Fed Up With Data Centers. Politicians Need to Take Notice Challenging data centers is not just the right policy move on its merits—it is also a position that will insure electoral success, writes Ben Green.

As US politicians campaign for this year’s elections—and look ahead to the 2028 presidential contest—they need to take data center opposition seriously as a salient issue, writes Ben Green. The opportunity is substantial, particularly for Democrats, he says.

Happy March 15. Here is my favorite Ides of March meme:

Find something in your life that you are as passionate about as Pete Hegseth is passionate about committing war crimes.

Suahuatica, I salute you
