Looks like Russia’s first homegrown robot had one too many before the big reveal…

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..."

Done!
Today you have one task: update DAX Studio to 3.4.0.

If you have a model with DAX UDFs (user-defined functions) or Calendars, here is the version that correctly handles autocompletion and VPAX export.

If only wages has risen that much as well...
This point really upsets some folks, but it is true. Folks wonder why there's so much DLC, microtransactions and stuff and the answer is that at a $70 price point, inflation adjusted, games cost 75% of what they did in 2000 when it was typically $50.

Inflation is like that.
AAA video games should cost $100 on launch. this would still be extremely cheap for the amount of time and enjoyment you get out of them! But an audience of whiny babies has kept them literally at the same price for *two decades* despite both general inflation *and* sector-specific costs rising

This is the dumbest possible business idea.

You’ve been working with SQL Server, Azure SQL DB, or Amazon RDS SQL Server for years. You’re jaded. You’re confident. You’re pretty sure you know what you’re doing. You’ve never taken my Mastering classes because you’ve read the blog, watched the live streams, and figured you’ve pieced it all together. You can’t imagine there’s anything left to learn — no surprises left in the box.

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.

For their first project, my Kids and Society students have to create an infographic clarifying a common misconception about "kids these days." I'd prefer that they not use AI to create their projects, so I made my own infographic explaining why : )
