@SQLBits I'd say the momentum for our SQL/Data community has clearly shifted to Mastodon. I'm now following more folks there than here. In just the last week, so many new users arrived, I'm seeing more engagement there now.

If you haven't created an account, it's worth a look.

@Kem
There was a well connected SQL/Data community on Twitter. It looks like the majority of them went to Masto because <reasons>.

I wouldn't categorize it as 'better'. Just different.

Hey #SQLFamily. I'd say the momentum for our community has clearly shifted to Mastodon. I'm now following more folks there than here. In just the last week, so many new users arrived, I'm seeing more engagement there now.

I'm finding Polybase to be even more finicky than OPENROWSET, which is challenging enough.

I'm about to give up. Where Polybase has failed me, I've found success with #R and sp_execute_external_script. It has its own challenges, but the R packages are much more forgiving.

Polybase for #SQLServer. 🙁

@countZZero Maybe? I dunno. I'm a Visual Studio user. /shrug

One of my final tweets. I wanted to share it here...it's an aspect of Twitter I appreciated, and will miss.

Guam cheese?

Tough night for the #Celtics. They got as close as eight (?) down the stretch, but couldn't close the gap.

12 minutes left.

Just recently, Derrick White got called for an offensive foul while attempting a Euro-step. He hit the defender in the head with his elbow. Correct call.

I joked with my family "I wish Grant would get that call as a defender".

So of course tonight Grant Williams gets elbowed in the head while defending, but is called for a foul.

@Ellico2020bis It feels like an eternity since we've seen Rob Williams. Maybe Horford will be a bit more consistent with a lighter load of minutes?

#Celtics

Halftime in Chicago. #Celtics need to find some defense.

End of the 1st from Chicago.

@Ellico2020bis Nah, just about basketball.
I'm watching the game with the fam. Hopefully DeRozan doesn't kill us again.
