@GeminiApp @GoogleWorkspace @googlesheets Feature request -> let gemini inside the spreadsheet know metadata. I (and others) use sheets for project management as well, and answering this question below would be super useful for me getting up to speed in some new projects!

@AndyLeonard @X Particularly good for tech/software development.

@AndyLeonard @X I personally switched to a paid search engine. Ad-based services have mixed incentives that don't always lead to great customer outcomes. Paid search engines are explicitly trying to create the best customer result/experience.

I use https://t.co/btIuXNsvby and love it.

@solarwinds I'm using TaskFactory on a few servers. Recently we rebuilt onto a Windows Server 2022 machine and found TF doesn't work there. Is there an ETA on Windows Server 2022 support? #SqlServer #SSIS

@PASSDataSummit Does anyone have a list of 2022 precons? I'm looking for examples of the precons before early bird registration. I recognize the 2023 list might not be out/finalized for a while.

@danluu There’s just more competition for hobbies nowadays. For every scene dying out I bet there are 3-4 more niche interests growing. Just my intuition/anecdote.

Obviously Measurement & Reporting are part of the toolbelt, but I think the Verification gets into setting up secondary data validation. I really like daily sanity checks on data loads.

MRV - Measurement, Reporting, Verification

Recently discovered this acronym related to climate change mitigation, but it seems really useful for the BI/Reporting world. #sqlserver

@sqlmal @SqlWorldWide @sqlpass Because of timezone differences I wasn't able to attend anything live. I purchased a ticket solely for the USB. 😢

Is there a method to download all of the PASS Summit 2020 presentations? It looks like it might have to be done one-by-one 😬 @sqlpass #SQLFamily

I login to @toggle via OAuth. I'm interested in Toggl Plan - can I use OAuth for that too? Or do I need to create an account?

@BuckWoodyMSFT Great book by a great thinker with in depth modeling of these sort of problems. It’s a reexamination of causality post Bayes theorem. https://t.co/kSNuigrdB6
