Using CROSS APPLY in TSQL will never not confuse me it seems.
I can get it to do what I need, but I never understand how it does it. Magic?

It can be hard to imagine how to defend oneself against an overwhelming force like ICE. But a few enterprising hackers have started projects to do counter-surveillance against ICE, and hopefully protect their communities through clever use of technology. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

Should we have notebook support for SQL Server in SSMS? Vote here: developercommunity.visualstudio.com/t/Notebooks-...
As a bit of context, Notebooks are supported in VSCode/ADS already, but we lose some capability and visibility in SSMS: www.sqlservercentral.com/articles/not...

Trying the MSSQL extension in VSCode for the first time. I feel like I'm missing a stack of useful other features (like SQL Prompt) but so far so good!

I spent a bit of time programming for fun and learning python over the last few days. I remember why I fell in love with it all now!
Work pressure and politics drained me and killed my ambition in 2024.
Onwards into a more focused 2025!

I rarely post here, but when I do it's out of frustration with Azure. Today is seemingly Data Factory's turn to make me regret my career choices.

This 40-year-old interview with Sandy White, creator of landmark isometric open-world survival-horror game Ant Attack, is fascinating. Lots of period insights about a game that really was absolutely astonishing for its time. Blew my mind when I first saw and played it in late 83.
