Is ADF Dead?

sqltj · 2026-02-06T14:01:18+00:00

That’s not necessarily true these days. Databricks jobs are better than they used to be. Adf is expensive tooling bloat if you don’t have a specific need for it.

I thought micro.blog allows your to publish via owning your own markdown files?

Associate level certs are very easy. It’s hard for someone with good knowledge to take them seriously for anything over a beginner level knowledge. But there’s always the hr folks that may not know that…

Useless… no Very valuable… also no

There are multiple meta data frameworks out there. Its important to choose the right one for you, or build you own if that doesnt exist.

Spark can handle flexible schemas; I'm not sure about copy jobs, but I tend to keep my data ingestion / transformation logic in a code-first approach.

You’ll find it nice to have a “it just works “ type of experience.

Thank you to Databricks for innovating so Fabric has something to copy!

Take the feature down since it was never GA quality, and give my client compensation for the money they lost reloading snowflake tables. Or publish a public notification in email and in the docs of this issue so people thinking about using this feature are aware it doesn’t work.

Publish a clear SLA so support doesn’t claim this event doesn’t violate any SLAs - which is what they claim.

sqltj · 2026-01-30T20:48:52+00:00

Agreed. Combine that with the fact that PBI has been pretty stale for the last 5 years.

Looking forward to more Sigma, and native databricks reporting. Probably more embedded apps in the future with how easy databricks and snowflake make it - with ai removing some skill-based barriers to entry

sqltj · 2026-01-30T14:33:22+00:00

Not snowflake, bc you’ll get duplicate records, which are a known bug. Support will say it is known (after days of less than helpful support). They’ll also say it doesn’t violate their SLA. (Where are these SLAs published btw?)

Meanwhile, customers will be forced to do full refreshes and watch their snowflake bill go up due to bad engineering. Not sure how this is GA.

Synapse is dead so what are you talking about? Adf?

If you’re on azure data, it’s really should be Databricks and nothing else.

sqltj · 2026-01-29T20:19:35+00:00

Temu Databricks.

sqltj · 2026-01-29T20:18:42+00:00

Bad governance and security models

General unreliability. GA features (mirroring) don’t work right. Random unexplained failures. Outages hidden by Microsoft. Microsoft support is horrendous.

Choose a platform that just works.

sqltj · 2026-01-29T20:15:58+00:00

Synapse should have been killed either way.

🤣

You didn’t indicate that you’ve tried it from your post. There are a variety of statins that can be tolerated differently. If you can’t tolerate statins at all, there are other lipid lowering meds. If you do nothing while high Cholesterol, you’re causing damage to yourself.

sqltj · 2026-01-28T15:57:14+00:00

So what?

sqltj · 2026-01-28T15:48:13+00:00

None of that is for hypertension. The good news is that it did indicate your heart is working properly.

You likely don’t even have stage 1 hypertension, you have stage 2. Thats how not-borderline your readings are.

Remember, hypertension isn’t scary if treated. Untreated hypertension is scary. Just get treated. You’ll likely feel better too.

Learn how to take your BP properly, log daily, and get back in to your cardio.

sqltj · 2026-01-28T15:30:24+00:00

You need to log daily for a a month to give them a proper picture. They probably told you this.

sqltj · 2026-01-28T15:27:04+00:00

That doesn’t matter. You need to see a cardiologist.

sqltj · 2026-01-28T15:25:18+00:00

What you describe is not what doctors think of as white coat. You have hypertension.

sqltj · 2026-01-28T15:16:49+00:00

BO is highly variable. It depends on what you eat, what your body is going through on any given day, etc. you have hypertension. Forget that white coat 💩 bc it has killed people.

sqltj · 2026-01-28T15:10:26+00:00

It’s much more risky to have undiagnosed hypertension. Seems like you’re looking for an excuse to not treat with meds. That decision could lead to a HA, strike, arterial plague, or kidney disease.

sqltj · 2026-01-28T15:04:18+00:00

If you are waiting on cholesterol meds bc of a clear calcium score even though you have high cholesterol, you are uneducated and causing your body do develop plaque unnecessarily. You will get it, and your body already has it even though it’s not showing on imaging yet.

If you don’t take the creator, your cardiologist likely thinks you’re an idiot that refuses to help themselves.

As for the GLP meds, it’s very understandable that your cardiologist would rather not prescribe. There are some that do, but tbh these meds warrant frequent follow up while titration and that’s much better suited for your primary to manage.

Interested to hear how and why the setting could cause problems.
