In the first article of this series, I explained how to get openSUSE Leap 42.2 running within the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) of Windows 10. Now, it is time to make it run properly because it’s not in a state I’d like to see it out there in the wild. In this article, I’d like to focus on correcting the user default login. I said that I would include graphical tools in my next blog, but that would make this blog much too long, so I will cover that topic in part three.

This article titled " Überlebensstrategie für die digitale Transformation " appeared in German last week in the "Die Zukunft beginnt heute (the future starts today)" section of Wirtschaftwoche. Smaller companies have a lot to gain in the digital era – provided they adopt the right mindset. The winners will be those that view their business from the eyes of their customers and understand that fast-paced innovation is the key to long-term growth.

The Polyglot Developer

FEBRUARY 1, 2017

With all the technologies and platforms available, it opens the door to infinite possibilities for development and further validates the need of being a full stack developer. There are many stacks in existence, but one of my personal favorites includes Golang, Angular, and NoSQL. So how do you apply all these stack technologies towards a fully functional application?

I think a lot about how teams should be structured when building software. Many companies choose to distinguish their teams by discipline. There is the Development team. The UX team. The Product team. The QA team. The Support team. The Marketing team. It makes sense at first. The manager for folks in a given discipline should have experience performing the job in that discipline.

Listening to the " Algorithms to Live By " audio on my commute this morning, once again I was struck by the beauty of Bloom Filters. So, I decided it is time to resurrect the 'Back-to-Basics Weekend Reading' series, as I will be re-reading some fundamental CS papers this weekend. In the past, I have done some weekend reading about Counting Bloom Filters , but now I am going even more fundamental, and I invite you to join me.

The Agile Manager

JANUARY 31, 2017

I was queuing for a flight late last year when two people standing behind me started talking about how disappointing their trip had been. They were in consultants in logistics, and they were lamenting how one of their clients was struggling in the wake of a business process change that another firm - a tech consultancy - had agitated for their mutual client to adopt.

Sitting around the Thanksgiving table, somebody (very intelligent, but a lawyer, so has no experience whatever with software or manufacturing) asked “What exactly is ‘Agile’?” Given the situation, I couldn’t launch into a 30-minute lecture :-), so I was stymied. Somebody chirped in that that Agile was about short cycles etc., etc.

Speed Curve

SpeedCurve reports the number of critical blocking resources in the page. These are the resources that block rendering. Since it's important that users see your content as quickly as possible, it's important to know what might be causing your page to render slowly. We recently enhanced the way we measure blocking resources and wanted to share those improvements with our customers as well as the performance community at large.

SQL Server According to Bob

You are aware of our statements indicating “Microsoft Loves Linux.” Over the last couple of years the open source activities at Microsoft have accelerated all around me. Recently I blogged about the design of of the debugger bridge and the use of LLDB. In this post I want to highlight my recent debugging session into LLDB and show you how we are contributing to LLDB.

SQL Server According to Bob

JANUARY 31, 2017

Scatter/gather capabilities allow more efficient memory to disk transfers reducing redundant memory copies, sorting and other activities applications may require to gain improved I/O performance. If my memory serves me correctly SQL Server started using the ReadFileScatter and WriteFileGather APIs in SQL Server 6.5 SP3. It may not have been this exact build but as the running joke around here goes “That information was saved to my offsite backup!”.
