WHY @Azure WHY is apex automatically required to be revalidated in a way that breaks the route for users, having zero information that it is a required repetitive task or any insight whatsoever in the az portal until it suddenly needs fixing?? sagara.dev/blog/2026/03/re-v…

I am pleased to announce day 1 support for Anthropic Fable 5 in Netclaw, because we aren't absolute clowns and source our model catalogs directly from their upstream providers so this is literally never a problem with our platform. Please, pretend it's a huge accomplishment and give us lots of likes and retweets.

Why does it seem like @github notifications were nerfed at some point? I used to get notifications all the time and even though I should be (there's activity), I seldom get any.

The House voted today on a new measure to fuse elements of the Israeli and US militaries, particularly on the cyberweapons front. Section 224, as its known, is included in the National Defense Authorization Act. Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., introduced an amendment to strip it from the bill. Watch as a stream of Republicans and Democrats stand up in support of the enhanced cooperation. Only Rep. Sarah Jacobs (D-Calif.) joined Khanna, and the measure failed in a voice vote. Watch:

SSMS: Does anyone know how to actually turn off the intellisense autocomplete? It's so annoying.

AI agents are great at helping investigate issues, but giving them direct SQL access is… not ideal. Blitz Bridge gives them a safer path: read-only, profile-scoped Azure SQL diagnostics through an MCP server backed by the First Responder Kit. github.com/Clinical-Support-…

No one ever should refer to themselves as a “Prime Minister in-waiting”. How incredibly arrogant. #canada

I built Blitz Bridge: a read-only .NET MCP server that lets AI agents run safe Azure SQL diagnostics using Brent Ozar’s First Responder Kit. No arbitrary SQL. No raw credential handoff. Just structured, allowlisted database insight. github.com/Clinical-Support-…

It can run locally, through Docker Compose, or be deployed to Azure Container Apps with managed identity Key Vault. Feedback, issues, and PRs are very welcome - especially from folks experimenting with MCP, SQL Server, Azure SQL, or AI-assisted ops.

Ontario doesn’t need to “wait until the next election” to speak up. People are angry for a reason. Doug Ford’s Ontario has become a province of scandals, secrecy, privatization, and broken public trust. The Greenbelt scandal.
The Ontario Place/Therme spa deal.
The Science Centre fiasco.
The private jet controversy.
The RCMP investigation. And now attacks on transparency itself. This government weakened public access to information and transparency protections, making it harder for journalists and the public to hold politicians accountable. Democracy depends on openness not secrecy. Meanwhile: 🏥 Public health care is being privatized while ERs close and hallway medicine worsens.
📚 Public education is overcrowded and underfunded.
🏠 Housing is unaffordable while homelessness explodes.
💊 ODSP recipients are being left in poverty.
👩‍⚕️ Nurses, teachers, and frontline workers are burned out and ignored.
🛣 Developers and insiders keep getting special treatment. Ontario deserves leadership that puts people before political insiders, developers, and backroom deals. Enough is enough. Sign the petition. Share it everywhere. Let Ontario be heard. c.org/PQNsYK4xj9

NEW: Carmine Nigro's company sought half a billion dollars in compensation for the expropriation of air rights it didn't actually own. MX and the government won't say how much it got in the settlement.

Any news on the outage @MyGetTeam? While support is sometimes responsive, and they personally follow up no matter what (refreshing), it feels like the platform is degrading, and we should look at migrating away.

This is the only non-psychotic response
I do not appreciate anyone - Democrat or Republican - taking this moment to make TACO jokes to say Trump “chickened out.” The president was threatening genocide against 90 million Iranians. I’m grateful there’s a ceasefire & scores of innocent people didn’t die tonight.
