Been a little while since I worked on ODBC stuff, but I have a couple of thoughts:

  • Would it be possible to use something like a table function on the DB side to simplify the query from the ODBC side?

  • I could be misremembering, but I feel like looping through individual inserts with an open connection was faster than trying to submit data in bulk when inserting that much data in one shot. Might be worth doing a benchmark in a test DB and table to confirm.

I know I was able to insert more than 50M rows in a manner of single digit hours, but unfortunately don't have access to that codebase anymore to double check the specifics.

Thank you for the detailed response!

I see now that you were responding to the title and not the content of the post.

To further round out my knowledge and understanding, could you please point me to additional information about Latinos moving further to the right, Harris' popularity, and polling data showing her well behind Trump in key states?

I'm also curious to see examples of the American left refusing to acknowledge the potential of a second Trump term.

Thanks again for helping me understand.

I'm not sure if I understand the points you are trying to make. Could you please elaborate? A) this meme is about records broken, not "wins." A president winning a second term would not break any records. B) why wouldn't Americans vote for a black woman? C) why would the thought of Americans electing a black women be "cult like?"

Thank you, that is absolutely heart-wrenching.

Is that referring to 41%, 41 per 1000, or some other metric entirely? Either way it's too damn high, but I'm curious and I don't know how to go about researching it without potentially making the almighty algorithm think I'm anti-trans.

Rizz is Kah-RIZZ-mah (charisma). Usually used in the context of one person hitting on another with reciprocated attraction.

Why did they submit this as a pull request in the first place? Just commit it to a WIP branch until it’s ready to merge. Am I missing something?

This seems super interesting and I’ve never heard of it before. Thanks for sharing!

Is this more of a table top game? I’d be interested to see it as a kind of MMO.

Designated Driver, i.e. the person who won’t be drinking any alcohol so that they can safely (and legally) drive the rest of the group home. Mostly a US thing where driving is the primary means of transportation.

I feel like the ammo aspect is a big part of what makes the game challenging. Like others have said, you can always get more ammo by using the opposite beam (i.e. killing enemies with the light beam gives dark beam ammo and vice versa), and you can also use the charge beam for a free shot even with 0 ammo.

All of that put together can lead to some of the most exciting boss battles where you're out or almost out of ammo but still have a chance to get the final blow in before they do. Infinite ammo wouldn't necessarily ruin the game overall in my opinion, exploring would still be fun and exciting. But it would certainly rob you of those exciting moments.

I feel like I remember those hips more than anything. Not sure what that says about me, but it's certainly a distinct feature from all of the logos I've found while searching for this one.

Wi-Fi drivers are notoriously complicated on Linux in general, though things have been improving. But yeah if ‘iwctl device list’ comes up empty when you plan to use Wi-Fi to install Arch, especially if Ethernet isn't a viable temporary alternative because your device doesn't have an Ethernet port, you're in for a tough time.
