If you specify the required columns with get() then that avoids fetching extra columns from the DB that aren’t required. Big memory saving fetching eg article titles but not content.

My issue is that I end up never finishing the app, or doing the thing I was meant to be doing.

I’ve never used bisect - is it just an easy way of checking out old commits?

We try to sort lunches out the night before. School menu is on the fridge, and a school dinner is picked or packed lunches are made in the evening.

School dinners are free here until primary 4, so we’re trying to guide them towards that option as often as possible!

Is this due to a more crowded market? More competition means having to work harder to stand out.
