Microsof Fabric as an all-in-one analytics solution
12/7/2025 7:07:31 PMIn recent years, we have witnessed repeated transitions from centralized to decentralized governance and vice versa. I have been involved in these changes, both in the corporate sphere in the IT field and in the field of IT solution providers. In this article, I would like to take a closer look at the transition from decentralized Data Management to centralized using Microsoft Fabric solutions. Snowflake and Apache Spark Databricks are also moving in a similar direction.

Prioritize format over quality in ResizeUrlFilter, Blocks editor for the Bag Part - This week in Orchard (05/12/2025)
12/5/2025 10:39:00 AMOrchard Core updatesAdd an option for inherited text alignment in the Flow PartWhen nesting multiple widgets, you need to align each one by hand if you want to deviate from the default (justify). If the container widget is set to text-align:left, the inner widgets should follow that unless otherwise stated. To solve this, Redzep Redžepi added a 5th alignment option (inherit) that can be selected as the new default for widgets. Widgets with that align setting should inherit the text-align value from their parent widget (or their parents' parents in case of multiple-level nesting).

Step away from that Node.js
11/27/2025 8:16:26 PMEnter LibManMicrosoft Library Manager lets you install and consume 3rd-party client-side libraries with ease. They aren’t kidding, it’s just a JSON file and an extra NuGet package import, and you get the desired files from jsDelivr or UNPKG at build time. You might recognize this is very similar to what our Lombiq Node.js Extensions offer, but there are some key differences:

Live from Orchard Harvest 2025 Prague - Day 2
11/13/2025 10:21:49 PMTranslating LINQ to SQL: caching, nullability and other deep topics from EF's query pipelineThe first presenter of the day was Shay Rojansky. He talked about the EF internal query architecture, caching, and performance, and showed us some tricky cases of LINQ to SQL translation. He highlighted why EF's job is harder than ORMs in other languages. He mentioned that C# captured variables (closures) are your way of asking for SQL parameterization. He showed us how to translate equality, which can be challenging given SQL's 3-valued logic. In SQL, NULL can generally be understood as "unknown". Therefore, NULL = NULL isn't true (like 3 = 3), it's NULL. NULL evaluates to false in WHERE.
