The NOLOCK hint is used in SQL Server to allow a SELECT statement to read a table without acquiring a shared lock, and it can be used to improve query performance in certain scenarios.
If you’re using Entity Framework Core in C# and you want to retrieve distinct items based on a specific property (e.g., ID) but still return the full object, you can use the GroupBy method along with First or FirstOrDefault. Here’s an example assuming you have a class named YourEntity with a property named Id:
Creating a successful 3D print involves more than just hitting the “Print” button. To achieve that professional finish, post-processing steps are essential. In this blog post, we’ll explore the array of tools and materials that will help you elevate your 3D prints from raw prototypes to polished works of art.

EventStore is an open-source database technology designed for storing, retrieving, and querying event data using a stream-based approach. In EventStore, a catch-up subscription is used to read events from a given point in a stream and catch up to the most recent events. When starting a catch-up subscription, you can specify the starting position using an event number or position. However, in some cases, you might want to start from the beginning or the very first event. Here’s how you can achieve that:
