Windows 8 for tables and viruses

Ieri seara am participant la un eveniment unde s-a prezentat si Windows 8. De data asta eram pe partea cealalta a baricadei (ca si participant), dar am vazut ca lumea spune destul de des:
Abia astept sa apara virusi pentru Windows 8.
Din acest punct de vedere, pentru versiunea normala de Windows 8 mai mult ca sigur o sa existe (din pacate), nu avem ce face. Dar pentru Windows 8 RT, versiunea care este destinata tabletelor, s-ar putea sa nu avem surprize nefericite.
In primul rand fiecare aplicatie ruleaza intr-un sandbox si nu poate sa faca foarte multe schimbari. Fiecare aplicatie inainte sa ajunga in store este supusa la niste teste, unde se testeaza cat de sigura este pentru utilizator.
Daca aceste verificari o sa se faca cum trebuie s-ar putea sa nu avem probleme cu aplicatiile. De exemplu pentru Windows Phone 7 nu am auzit de nici o problema de acest gen.
Deja, foarte multe compani care creaza antivirusi pentru Windows, isi pregatesc si ultimele versiuni de soft pentru Windows 8, iar pentru Windows 8 RT sper sa nu avem probleme sau cel putin asa ma astept eu.

  2. Nu mi-as face mari sperante - cum din cate stiu pe versiunea de Win8 pentru tablets non-ARM se vor putea rula aplicatii normale, non-"metro", malwares vor aparea.
    La fel si pe ARM - daca va exista o posibilitate de side-loading (chiar daca teoretic doar pentru enterprise-stuff), va exista in timp si malware.

How to audit an Azure Cosmos DB

In this post, we will talk about how we can audit an Azure Cosmos DB database. Before jumping into the problem let us define the business requirement: As an Administrator I want to be able to audit all changes that were done to specific collection inside my Azure Cosmos DB. The requirement is simple, but can be a little tricky to implement fully. First of all when you are using Azure Cosmos DB or any other storage solution there are 99% odds that you’ll have more than one system that writes data to it. This means that you have or not have control on the systems that are doing any create/update/delete operations. Solution 1: Diagnostic Logs Cosmos DB allows us activate diagnostics logs and stream the output a storage account for achieving to other systems like Event Hub or Log Analytics. This would allow us to have information related to who, when, what, response code and how the access operation to our Cosmos DB was done. Beside this there is a field that specifies what was th...

Can User Technical Profile Influence AI Architecture Decisions?

In the last few days, I ran a small experiment on Devin/Windsurf/Cascade, BMAD, and LLM-based architecture decisions. The initial concern was simple: if an AI coding assistant knows something about the user, for example, that the user is a Java developer or a .NET developer, can this information influence the architecture and technology stack that the AI will propose? This question is important because many companies are starting to use AI tools not only for coding but also for product discovery, architecture, documentation, and technical decision-making. If the AI is influenced by the developer's personal profile, the result may not be fully neutral. It may look like a business or architecture decision, but in reality, it may be partially shaped by the context of the person using the tool. The test was done using BMAD with Devin/Windsurf/Cascade. The scenario was a unified field service operations platform. The task was to let BMAD refine the product, define the architecture and s...

ADO.NET provider with invariant name 'System.Data.SqlClient' could not be loaded

Today blog post will be started with the following error when running DB tests on the CI machine: threw exception: System.InvalidOperationException: The Entity Framework provider type 'System.Data.Entity.SqlServer.SqlProviderServices, EntityFramework.SqlServer' registered in the application config file for the ADO.NET provider with invariant name 'System.Data.SqlClient' could not be loaded. Make sure that the assembly-qualified name is used and that the assembly is available to the running application. See http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=260882 for more information. at System.Data.Entity.Infrastructure.DependencyResolution.ProviderServicesFactory.GetInstance(String providerTypeName, String providerInvariantName) This error happened only on the Continuous Integration machine. On the devs machines, everything has fine. The classic problem – on my machine it’s working. The CI has the following configuration: TeamCity .NET 4.51 EF 6.0.2 VS2013 It see...
