  • its in the syndicate side story - when they are doing their (first?) expedition outside of their home system (Midway?) they react to a reaction before the light of what they are reacting to arrives - or something like that.

  • I didn't see Pratchett on the list, even if you have been through the Diskworld before, the re-reads often reveal things you missed.

    I'm not as well read as you, so have no idea if that actually matches your taste.

    Another (older though) lesser known series is the Dragonriders of Pern. Great if you like to follow a lot of characters (in their own mini series) that interact over an 80 year main series. Starts as fantasy, becomes sci-fi (With dragons!)

  • They are made/broken by if you like how he describes space battles though. A number of people I have suggested them to hated them, while others liked it.

    There is also at least one place where he breaks the in universe rules of physics that really annoys me. (Information travelled in system faster than light)

  • They actually painted more than 30% of the car though!

  • EF can have big problems with "Cartesian explosions" if an object has two lists of sub objects to return, it will get listA length x listB length items due to how the joins work. You can see how this leads to the explosion part of the name (with more objects or lists).

    Their solution is a "split query" option, that does each sub table as a separate query, then seamlessly gives you the combined result.

    If a change like this let's you get those different table lists as distinct lists with the processing and round trip time of multiple requests then it could be a game changer.

    (Source - my last week ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜ญ + lots of EF docs)

  • SQL returns subsets of all tables with only those tuples that would be part of the traditional (single-table) query result set

    So it returns only the data that would be returned from the query, so the filtering is done.

    I can see some uses of it. If you look at what something like Entity Framework does behind the scenes to return nested objects, you can see how something like this might help.

  • I know the first two races are in the middle east, but even F1 would be challenged to do both on the same day!

    Updated the title.

  • Could we get the F1 calendar site linked on the sidebar? Would be useful.

  • But they do go to the community mods, even on a different instance? And if the community mods remove the content that removal federates?

    I prefer to rely on the community mods to remove most 'spam' as it's their role to decide what is spam in their community. (Obviously admins can/should remove illegal content etc)

    Admins for the most part shouldn't have to remove content on their copy of other instances communities.

  • The reports go to the community mods not your instance admins though don't they?

  • It was this channel - they have loads of streams.

    Doesn't look like they have a VoD up for this eruption yet though.

    Here are some (poor) photos I took of the stream. (Didn't have access to the keyboard easily to take a screenshot)

  • That's probably only 6 hours or so of eruption? It practically stopped after the first day.

    I was watching the webcams, you could see it approaching the first road, cross it and the a single digger putting some minor blocks in, then starting to block the gap in the power plant wall.

    It looked really close on the webcam, but I think that when they build the earth banks they deliberately dug ditches to redirect it away. Speedy lava though!

  • Everyone's view of what is NSFW is different

  • They don't, it's a partial dualopoly between them and BT Sports with the BBC and ITV occasionally getting in on the action.

    Agree with the sky hate though.

  • Something didn't work on Firefox and the dev didn't get permission to work out how to fix it as it was uneconomical compared with just disabling firefox

  • Yeh, it's all the network effect. Where people go will, generally be where they continue to go.

    That's why threads was dangerous (and may still be) to and more grassroots federated options

  • It needs to understand that that code is bad to be able to do that though

  • So many people have NSFW stuff blocked completely (so it doesn't even show a post) so your post will get less views/traction if you mark it as such.

    Therefore a lot of borderline ones don't get tagged

  • NowTV is available and you can (could?) Get credit with them from Tesco clubcard with a decent multiplyer.

    Horrible website/service though

  • He would have had to agree to the non compete clause though, not sure what happened there....
