SQL cheat sheet - Every JOIN explained:

@dotnet 😀

C# 15 adds union types: closed sets of case types, exhaustive pattern matching, implicit conversions, and even support for custom non‑boxing unions. It’s a big quality‑of‑life boost for APIs that return “one of several shapes.” Full post: devblogs.microsoft.com/dotnet/csharp-…

Should Microsoft drop #dotnet Framework support in Microsoft .Data .Sqlite in the upcoming 11.0 release? The issue has now been closed on GitHub but Microsoft asked for community feedback on this question. I ran a poll on it, the results are below.

Thank you for joining us tonight We’re also on @BBCOne at 10:40pm Next week, we'll be back with an episode from London and the following week from Loughborough You can apply to be in either #bbcqt audience here: eu.castitreach.com/ag/mentorn/que…

We are losing major life sciences investments and Labour has got diddly squat to say about it. Astra Zeneca - £450m gone and £200m paused Merck - £1bn gone Eli Lilly - £279 million incubator on hold Sanofi - won't consider "any substantial investment" in UK R&D under current conditions The industry says the UK is becoming 'uninvestable' for the life sciences. Yet Labour this week tried to dress up as a growth plan a programme we started and which they screwed up. The crisis in life sciences is going to affect us all - it means some pharma companies not bringing new drugs to market here. The NHS will not be able to give people cutting edge treatments. Trials for appalling health conditions won't be done here. Fewer high end science and manufacturing jobs. A less resilient supply chain in medicine manufacture. And yet there's no sign that the Science Secretary is doing anything across government to grip this crisis.

Satire, cartoons & irreverent take-offs are a healthy part of our political culture. AI deepfakes stealing elected representatives identities to misrepresent their views are not. In fact it’s a crime. Yet META say democratic distortion isn't a reason for removing content.

The ugly side of the new Britain. Feels like we’re descending into a deepening spiral of culture wars, identity politics, migration riots & street crime fuelled by broken politics, deficits & stagflation, disillusionment & disorder.

"If you push for instant answers... you end up with something that becomes like fascism" Rory Stewart says "Britain feels broken to a lot of people" but "that isn't a reason to go with Tommy Robinson" #Newsnight

"Really shocking" Rory Stewart reacts to Conservative MP Katie Lam's suggestion that legally settled families could be deported to make the UK more "culturally coherent" #Newsnight

@bbcquestiontime BBC Question Time format really needs to be a little tad longer. I feel some of the topics skimmed over.

“Is the one-in-one-out policy working?” Watch what the Question Time panel said on this audience question on illegal immigration Catch up with the whole of this week’s #bbcqt from Swindon, on @BBCSounds and @BBCiPlayer now: bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…

Group related concepts together = build better applications 💡 Another name for this is cohesion, where we want to maximize the "relatedness" of files for a single feature. Layered architectures typically have low cohesion. The problem? They force you to make changes in many different layers to implement or update a feature. Vertical slices take a different approach. All the files for a single use case are grouped together, which increases their cohesion. It's easy to find all the relevant components for a feature.
