This article has some of the best thinking I’ve seen about how to figure out what to do with blockchain. Blockchain all the things really isn’t a good idea here. This is a complex set of technologies that have any number of useful applications, but, like any tool, it needs to used properly.
Microsoft ports SQL Server to Linux
The new Microsoft has placed an increased importance on the cloud, and with other companies following suit, reliance on server solutions has increased. Today the company announces that it is bringing SQL Server to Linux.
Both cloud and on-premises versions will be available, and the news has been welcomed by the likes of Red Hat and Canonical. Although the Linux port of SQL Server is not due to make an appearance until the middle of next year, a private preview version is being made available to testers from today.

FFR The database preferences for locally hosted Drupal…
FFR: The database preferences for locally hosted Drupal sites running in Acquia Dev Desktop are located in the .acquia/DevDesktop/DrupalSettings folder in your home directory. On Widnows that’s /Users/YourName/. This is especially important if you’ve just imported a Drupal site from elsewhere that has it’s own settings.php that will be left in the structure but ignored. Things like db table prefixes are not picked up in the import process and you’re on your own to track things down to make the site run locally.
Google launches Resizer to help with responsive design
An interactive viewer to see and test how digital products respond to material design breakpoints across desktop, mobile, and tablet.
https://design.google.com/articles/introducing-resizer/
Basically Resizer is a website that lets you look at how your responsive design is going to look across multiple screens. It provides instant access to a number of different screen sizes and orientations in a way that is a lot less fussy than resizing browser windows. Give it a try and enter the address of any website to see how the layout responds at different break points.
