[21:06] <cmaloney> WTF MSFT
[21:07] <jrwren> you can buy support for GNU R from MSFT.
[21:07] <greg-g> for those who want the performance and security of linux, but the.... who the fuck knows, of MS SQL Server
[21:07] <jrwren> i'm still coming to grips with this.
[21:07] <jrwren> the non-oracle of MS SQL Server
[21:08] <jrwren> i wonder what the sql server mgmt tools will be like. They put tons into making it managable with powershell in the 2010 timeframe.
[21:08] <jrwren> maybe they'll port PS to Linux. i guess with .net core being open source and on linux that might be pretty easy for them now.
[21:08] <greg-g> powershell on linux.....
[21:09] <cmaloney> Well, considering SQLServer is Sybase underneath perhaps that's what got ported
[21:09] <jrwren> its not sybase underneath.
[21:10] <cmaloney> Then why can I run sqsh with it? :)
[21:10] <jrwren> saying SQL Server is sybase under neath is like saying Linux is Minix underneath.
[21:10] <jrwren> same wire protocol.
[21:10] <jrwren> just like you can run bash on minux or linux :p
[21:11] <cmaloney> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_SQL_Server#Genesis
[21:11] <jcastro> What an odd day
[21:11] <jcastro> it's like 60 degrees outside
[21:11] <jcastro> and mssql is here
[21:12] <cmaloney> Probably the blow-back from hell freezing over
[21:12] <cmaloney> warm air has to travel somewhere.
[21:12] <jrwren> yes, I know it forked from them buying Sybase. I stand by my Minux analogy.
[21:15] <cmaloney> It'd be more apropos if you did a BSD analogy since I think that had AT&T UNIX code in it for a while.
[21:15] <cmaloney> AFAIK Linux has no Minix code in it.
[21:21] <jrwren> yes, I wanted to make the OSX and BSD analogy too.
[21:21] <jrwren> cuz "OSX is just BSD" is the common phrase, which is totally wrong.
