No, not the "call for back-up Guv" type of back-up. Just, the run of the mill, data back-up, that everyone does! Right?

Apparently not! 
It'll be fine. Only 150,000 records lost!

Politicians? CEOs? Hey, even we have strandards . . . once we allowed them "in" - and that's what put the "Ill" in Illuminati.

That's going to end very unpleasant for a / a couple of IT guys that very probably only followed orders or had to try their best with the less they got.

Many years ago, the acceptance test for a new police system criminal records in Norway required the system to be able to handle six rape records a minute.

No,Ray Bradbury would be happy, Wells would be concerned.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

So who here has the equipment to watch the video in its native resolution...?
[Edit]
Meh. Claiming this to be an 8K "video" is clickbait at best. I hope nobody thinks the rovers currently on Mars were sent up 10+ years ago with 8K cameras. This is little more than a stitching job of smaller-resolution still images, and then the "video" simply pans over the resulting mosaic. Provided you had enough of them, you could do the same with 320x240 pictures. Or re-do the whole thing at 16K. You could apply the same technique using, say, the source material from the pictures from any of those so-called "gigapixel" sites that have existed for, what, a decade and a half...?
So yeah. It's cool enough that we get pictures from Mars. But the "8K" claim is just some guy trying to ride that bandwagon.

Dynamics is basically awful. All the tools suck. But I found an Azure data platform last night that backs up CRM to a SQL Database and can apparently go in the other direction. I am pretty excited about fixing my data with a single query instead of a queue of API calls.
|
|
|
|
|
We are using Dynamics at my current work. And our web app talks to it constantly.
Yes it's not that great, but the Accountants love it! :/
|
|
|
|
|
I think Dynamics is nice for end users, but terible for devs. I am doing a two way sync with another system. The LINQ provider makes things a bit nicer but it's also generating fetch XML so a lot of queries fail

Why is this all so terrible?
I have an application that does integration between two systems. I am writing the back end. The architecture is as follows:
HTTP Azure function - validates message and pushes to a queue
Queue function - pulls item and puts it in the destination system
This works. But if we do a bulk load, Azure functions die when the traffic gets too high (if you do it in a hard loop, about 250 calls). The Azure app goes offline for 15 minutes. There's documentation that you can turn this 'feature' off, but it does not work
The initial version of Azure functions was in 'C# Script', written in the browser. This does not seem to have this limitation. But I am using session keys in queues, which guarentee order of delivery. The dll I need to use that in the DI that happens in script, is not available by default. I did a ton of work to figure out how to import it and it worked. Got up next morning, they had done an update and that code did not work any more.
On top of all that I can't use Entity Framework in Functions because you can't use .NET 5 and whatever version I use, it tries to load a .NET 5 dll and fails.
