The Power BI Enhanced Report Format (PBIR) will soon become the default, and that’s a good thing because it significantly makes git integration easier. You can already enable it in the preview features of Power BI Desktop (also enable PBIP and TMDL to make git integration of the model itself much easier).There’s also a new admin setting in Power BI/Fabric, which is on by default:I strongly encourage to keep it on It will make certain tasks easier:downloading reports (check out the blog post Export a Power BI Report that cannot be Downloaded on how to do this with the Fabric…

I wrote a piece on the new SUBSTRING in SQL Server 2025 and got asked a question. How do we get the last last name, such as only getting “Paolino” from “Miguel Angel Paolino”. This post will show how you can easily do this.Another post for me that is simple and hopefully serves as an example for people trying to get blogging as #SQLNewBloggers.The ScenarioI have a set of names, like those in the Northwind.dbo.Customers table. I want to find the last names only, perhaps for a mailing, or maybe for a search box. I have names like these:Notice line…

In Linux, the ‘cd‘ (Change Directory) command serves as a fundamental navigation tool for both newcomers and experienced system administrators. For administrators working on headless servers, ‘cd‘ represents the primary method for traversing the filesystem to examine logs, execute programs, or perform routine tasks. For those new to Linux, it stands among the initial commands they encounter during their learning process. The command operates through dynamic linking, which allows it to interact directly with the shell’s directory management functions. Since ‘cd‘ is a shell built-in rather than an external binary, it executes with minimal overhead and requires no special privileges…

I was down in Brooklyn this week attending AI Native DevCon, and let me tell you—there’s no hidden metaphor or clever subtext in that name.

Holy cow FabCon Vienna was incredible! This recap is extremely delayed because I’ve run into some serious decision fatigue about what to include (and my amazing hubby got me a LEGO Death Star to build for my birthday/anniversary/Christmas). So much of it was beyond amazing and I’m extremely grateful for the opportunity to not only attend but speak! Because of that, I’ve decided to include a little mini section about the new releases I’m excited about as well as a little blurb about the hallway track (the best part of any conference in my opinion).I made so many wonderful new…
