1.8.2024 I received a message from Microsoft and after reading the first few lines I was absolutely stunned.
Of course, this wasn’t a complete surprise to me, because I had earlier filled out the application for MVP, but still, I wasn’t quite sure if I was going to be accepted or not into the program as it took some time to get validated. Well, I’m glad it turned out this …
Microsoft Fabric REST API is a tool, that can help you automate tasks in Fabric. By saying automate, I mean you can use it to automatically manage Fabric items, run notebooks, setup workspaces etc. The full API documentation can be found from this URL.
To use the Fabric API, you need a Microsoft Entra authentication token, as Fabric does not support API keys or …
Microsoft Fabric is an excellent product for storing both structured and unstructured data for data analysis and AI workloads. It is built on top of Azure Blob Storage, making data storage relatively cheap and easy to access. Fabric offers many built-in tools for data manipulation, including Dataflow Gen 2, Data Pipelines, and Notebooks. However, sometimes you need to access the data from outside of Microsoft Fabric, which is the topic …
Microsoft has published many Copilots within a year. We have Copilots for Azure, Security, Finance, Word, Outlook, etc. Almost all of these different Copilots are integrated into the corresponding tool. You can find Azure Copilot in the Azure Portal, Copilot for Finance in Excel and so on. The number of Copilots won’t decrease in the near future; rather, the opposite. I predict that the number of Copilots will keep growing. …
On recent Windows 11 update my Snipping Tool started to crash. When I used it to take a screenshot it crashed always after I clicked the thumbnail image at the bottom of the screen. Windows Event Viewer didn’t provide any clues about the cause, which left me a little confused.
I checked the Snipping Tool settings, but I had all toggles turned off and it …
I have been using Apple Watch to monitor my exercises, especially floorball exercises. While I love the Apple Watch product quality, ease of use and feel around my wrist it sadly lacks good statistic tools for exercise data. For example I tried to view the amount of training days within season 23-24 and I couldn’t find any way to do it. From that I got an idea to upload the …
Sometimes you want to develop or experiment with LLM APIs without having to submit your data to Azure Open AI or any other LLM service. Instead, you simply want to run a basic LLM AI locally to test whether your idea works. Jussi has authored some informative blog posts about Ollama, which indeed is a great tool for this situation, but it might not be the best…
Yes, you read that right! Visual Studio is recreating its solution files, which have remained unchanged throughout my 15 years in this industry and I think this is great and anticipated improvement.
That is a great question. A Visual Studio solution file (.sln extension) is a important part of the Visual Studio development environment. It serves as a container for one or more projects …
Microsoft provides a handy RSS feed for its Azure updates at https://azurecomcdn.azureedge.net/en-us/updates/feed/. This feed includes all updates related to services arriving with Preview and General Available status. As this is great information for everyone who is interested from Azure, I wanted to make this feed’s information available to everyone on our Slack (our companies main communication channel).
Slack offers built-in RSS readers, but I thought of implementing a reader …
Last week, I was promoted to the position of CTO at Adafy. Partially due to this promotion, I’ve been reflecting a lot lately on the significance of the architect role and the career path to becoming one. The prevalent notion suggests that the career trajectory for a software developer is Software Developer =Senior Software Developer =Software Architect. However, there’s a slight contradiction in this, as the …
