@randolphwest.ca I think there's an error in this section of the docs as it points incorrectly to the ado.net connection manager. But on github I can only suggest edits, but not submit issues? learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/in...

You can laugh all you want with SSIS, but at least we didn't waste 2-3 minutes with each task queueing or starting some session...

Still not seeing those fast session startup times in #MicrosoftFabric :( Default starter pool, 1-1, Python notebook.

Well done #MicrosoftFabric

15 minutes of working with SSIS, and I'm already suffering severe PTSD

Wat. So, more recent versions of #ssis cannot work with #Azure? Sense, it makes none.

@itsnotaboutthecell.com do you know if these limitations will be lifted when org apps go GA in #PowerBI?

I'm using this gif when I'm comparing #MicrosoftFabric Copy "job" with copy data activity, and I will not excuse myself for my sense of humour :)

Dank je wel OpenAI

Yes, #MicrosoftFabric finally supports IDENTITY! <reads docs> Argh, it doesn't support inserting -1 (yet)!

Movie you've watched more than six times with a gif. Hardmode: No Stars (either Wars or Trek), LOTR or Marvel

Why the flippity flip flop can you not change the server or database name in a #MicrosoftFabric connection? Migrated a server? --> Create new connection and change it everywhere you've used the old one! I'm convinced we're living in the bad place...

Anyone have statistics on market share of on-premises SQL Server vs the cloud counterparts? I looked at @brento.bsky.social constant care population, but those numbers are probably biased (in the sense that people will most likely by monitoring for on-prem?)

This is art

Happy Budapest Day. 31 year to the day since Clinton and Major promised to preserve Ukraine's territorial integrity. Russia, as throughout history, makes promises, breaks promises. Remember in December 2021 Russia promised not to invade again.

The people who claim that some AI model is ”PhD-level” don’t have PhD degrees for a reason. It took an actual PhD friend just a single attempt, with a first-year exam question, to prove that LLMs are better at generating rocket emojis and bullet points than actually producing anything ”PhD-level”.

Google at its peak was basically the best information retrieval system in human history and they and every competitor decided going from there to “you didn’t want answers you wanted half-assed auto-complete 80%-wrong hallucinations” in a few years was the right idea

Didn't expect to learn about sugar today, but using "too much sugar is bad for you" as a way to explain AI is pretty cool. "I worry we’re not paying attention to what AI is doing to our cognitive metabolism." Great reflections by @arcticdba.se!

Heads-up to anyone still down in the porridge of #Fabric, we got all these shortcut possibilities now - notice OneDrive and Sharepoint! Brb as I am currently re-doing my solutions.

Well hello good morning. This wasn't here yesterday.

Well, it's a little clearer now why billionaires are so invested in technology that produces better written emails.

Elke keer je dit bekijkt wordt het beter. De muziek! Het doek!

Conversion with some juniors at work, who were talking about LotR and Gollum: "I saw the original movies in the movie theatre" "Ah, we weren't yet born then..." "..." "Excuse me while I go die in the corner"

Done!

If only wages has risen that much as well...

En weer gaat de Nobelprijs voor de Geneeskunde naar een wetenschapper. Jammer, ik had het eerlijker gevonden als Gerda van Facebook dit jaar zou winnen. Zij ontwikkelde namelijk een bijzondere methode hoe ze met haar eigen onderbuik heel precies aan kan voelen hoe medicijnen werken.

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Has anyone here ever setup a CI/CD pipeline for #PowerBI composite models? cc @itsnotaboutthecell.com
