I cannot stay on X any longer. I have family that suffered from 2 authoritarian regimes and I am not going to support someone's business when that person is actively working to turn a democracy into an authoritarian hellhole at the tune of $45m/month #byebyeX

@nikitabase that's a logarithmic scale... but yes, most traditional RDBMSes are not growing as they used to.

@jonesy_198601 @Carnage4Life ... way, as a subscription that will cost much more over the ownership lifetime of a car... Next I have to subscribe to be able to see my engine speed or oil level...

@jonesy_198601 @Carnage4Life Not sure it is much better than what Audi is doing. Why charging for heated seats if you put all the hardware into the car anyway? I can understand if they add additional components to the car (extra wiring, chips, components like radar, heaters, even extra software) but not this

@bitsforthought @ftgfop1 It was a direct successor of SCOPE (mainly simplifications and cleanup of syntax and semantics). Also added a lot of new capabilities that flowed back into SCOPE.

@AngryAnalytics It was fun indeed.

Today, we are retiring #AzureDataLakeAnalytics running #USQL. It was a privilege working on this new service like this, one of my best professional experiences and I thank all our customers and supporters and am looking forward to seeing you on #MicrosoftFabric or #AzureSynapse.

@HenkvanderValk @JustynaLucznik It was and is my pleasure!

@dez_blanchfield We had a dependency on ADLS Gen1 that was being retired and replaced with ADLS Gen2. That was one of the main technical reasons.

@KyleJWeller @mim_djo #DotNetForSpark (https://t.co/eQxZlETWRr) should be able to use DeltaLake as a format using the standard Spark ways. Only issue is that you will need to deploy it into a Spark cluster. It will not use C# code for the DeltaLake processing, but rely on the built-in support in Scala

@GergelyOrosz and it didn't make you wear a headset either. it was cool tech, but with a limited mass appeal regarding use cases. If I want to look up an NBA player stats, I can use my phone for a minute without needing to spend several $1000 and wear weird looking goggles.

@PeladoCollado @paulg Indeed. for recreational SCUBA diving, it should at least have a 200m rating. The reason is, that you can easily get 10atm pressure on a watch when you move your arm under water.

@u3b3rg33k @alanisnking Acid green is nice too.

[Michael Rys @MikeDoesBigData]

My condolences to his family. His quest for simplicity and elegance was inspiring.

We lost a titan of programming languages, programming methodology, software engineering and hardware design. Niklaus Wirth passed away on the first of January. We mourn a pioneer, colleague, mentor and friend.

Microsoft Fabric is GA today. What a day!

Now the real fun is starting. Just look at the massive Fabric update of November.

It took me a minute to just scroll through the table of contents...

@terrajobst Still ways to go before I would abandon APL for this 😉

[Michael Rys @MikeDoesBigData]

@BuckWoodyMSFT Same here. It is also telling that the people they interview in the article all left on their own to progress their careers and come back at much higher levels. So the typical promotion "boomerangers" and not the people who got laid off.

[Michael Rys @MikeDoesBigData]

@BuckWoodyMSFT According to some pretty reliable sources posting on Blind who predicted the layoffs accurately, the layoffs were pushed by some of the large investment firms in order to cool down the hiring sprees and associated salary explosions in the tech sector. So this does not surprise me
