Memory leaks in .NET? - Lotushints
http://www.lotushints.com/2015/05/memory-leaks-in-net
Memory leaks in .NET? On May 6th, 2015. Boy do I have news for you! It won’t. Just last week, I spent most of my time debugging, tracing and removing a memory leak that caused otherwise stable windows service to throw. Exception in 90 minutes. As .NET code is managed, tracing the leak gets tricky. And the fact that code was not mine only made it worse. So what can you do? Personally, I stick to one simple rule that removes a risk of good portion of possible memory leaks. Any object that implements. Block...

Quick tip: Extending column which is also (part of) primary key - Lotushints
http://www.lotushints.com/2015/04/quick-tip-extending-column-which-is-also-part-of-primary-key
Quick tip: Extending column which is also (part of) primary key. On April 22nd, 2015. At work, I got a short task of extending a varchar column in our database from 25 chars length to 50. The task seems easy enough. But, as things usually turn out, it contained a GOTCHA! The column was also a part of primary key on that table. Thus, I started to wonder. Can you resize a column that is part of primary key without recreating primary key itself? Mail (will not be published) (required).

Entries for the ‘Geekland’ Category. I doubt that anyone serious about tech could avoid hearing at least a little bit about NPM “disaster” in recent weeks. Some say, it is developers ego, that caused entire ecosystem to crash down. Others blame NPM for caving in to capital instead of open source. But the problem lies elsewhere. In recent years, a […].

Custom software – Introduction. On June 2nd, 2016. Custom software is software that is usually done for one client, one environment and limited user base. It’s specific use case means, it won’t be sold more than once, which translates to high enough price to cover development costs. And then some. So why do companies decide to order and pay for custom software over and over again? Last but not least, a disclaimer. This series is made of findings I gathered in my career of building custom software....
