I got accepted to deliver my "Is Die Hard a Christmas Movie? Let's ask Azure!" talk at Momentum 2022 in Cincinnati. This was my last conference submission for the year and another acceptance sets me up for a very busy fall with 5 talks at 3 conferences!

According to a classification experiment I ran on Azure Machine Learning using historical data on Christmas movies and non-Christmas movies, the answer is a resounding "yes" - unless Die Hard doesn't occur at a Christmas Party and doesn't occur on Christmas Eve.

Two wins:
(a) I started to answer questions in English in some communities (I'm not an English native speaker)
(b) I created, after being silent for one year, a post in Spanish about how to learn (spoiler, it's hard, but not impossible)

Starting working with another language is indeed scary. But since you made the first step, it will get easier every time :) You can be proud for making the first step, Dennis!
