Microsoft is a collection of fiefdoms, each led by a Lord (Product Manager) who drive projects which have two possible motivations: 1) promotion 2) bonus. Quality is not a factor and hasn't been for decades. Cohesion? No. The lords sometimes fight amongst themselves. They serve the line go up. Everything is line go up. There is no bottom to the products. Line must go up

Thanks!
So fast. Very click
That's super interesting. I have to look out for that in the future. The interest on this post makes me want to go out and get more hummingbird shots
Totally. I kept seeing this guy get into spats with a Ruby Throated guy. Arguing over territory. I really wanted to get a pic with both but hummingbirds are such challenging subjects. I managed a couple of shots but nothing in focus. Edit: added example
Why is that? For those of us who haven't worked in clean rooms

While I get that SO can be monstrously unhelpful, database optimization is a whole profession so I think we need a bit more to help
A few directions we could go here: Post your SQL query. This could be a structure or query issue. Best case, we could do some query optimization. Also, have you looked into indexing?
Where are your bottlenecks coming from? Is your server desined for a I/O intensive workload like databases. Sequential read speed is not a good metrix.
What about concurrency? If this is is super read/write intensive, optimization could depend on where data is written while you're reading
This is extremely cool.
Look into a VPS + pangolin or headscale Also, check out Crowdsec
I got one as recommended by my doctor and the results changed my life. A lot of things came up, but a couple were "very high sensitivity". I just focused on those

Everyone has seen Antelope Canyon on their Windows login screens it whatever but just a few miles away, you can visit Waterhole canyon, which is bigger and quieter. A guide was and to let me spend as much time as I wanted seeing up and getting my shots, a luxury I did not have at the more famous location. My pictures came out ok but the experience was worth it.
Nikon D750 W/ Sigma 12-24mm 2.8 1/8 sec f/18 iso100 (??? what was I thinking)

Went on a boat in Alaska to see and shoot whales but the crowd didn't afford many great pictures. Landscapes during the sunset though... Can do!

Driving all the way up to the top of Haleakala gets you to slightly over 10,000ft (3,000m) above the island of Maui. After sunset and when I thought it sufficiently dark, I started working on this shot.
I was extremely lucky to get clear skies and minimal wind on the evening of my visit. This particular shot also includes a comet in the top-right corner, a few satellites which I tried to clean up, and some lights (headlights?) which illuminated the observatory at the top of this long-extinguished volcano.

Perfect lighting and fog to make the dock look like it leads to nothingness.

Definitely regretted not bringing my camera that day

It's a combination of megapixels, lens quality, and focus ability, all in increasing order of importance. I truly believe I could have gotten just as good of a shot at 24mp, everyhing else the same.
This was a Nikon Z8 with the "kit" Nikkor Z 24-120mm. I toyed around with different configurations but this lens was the sharpest and fastest to focus. My cheap f/1.8 lenses looked smeary in comparison.
I have done similar hummingbird shoots with my D750 with it's Nikkor N 24-120. You CAN get similar shots but the focusing will be 10x harder. Most of the pictures I've posted on this account were taken with that camera and I still consider it a treasure
