HyperV Annoyance: HyperV hangs at "Loading snapshots for the selected Virtual machine..."

I hit this issue  when I upgraded my Hyper-V from Windows Server 2008R2 to Windows Server 2012. Some of the saved VMs were not starting up and Hyper-V failed to even enumerate the saved states of the VMs.

You can work around this issue as follows:

  • Right click on the VM node and select Delete Saved State...
  • The Incorrect state would be deleted and the VM would be turned off
  • Now Right click and select Start.

This fixed the issue on my setup.

GraphQL

GraphQL What is GraphQL It is a specification laid out by Facebook which proposed an alternative way to query and modify data. Think of it is an as a complimentary of REST/RPC. Now head here and read the  original graphQL documentation . It will take 2-3 hours tops but is a worthy read. This will help you build some impressions on it and help contrast against mine below: Why use GraphQL Core advantage Instead of defining custom backend rpc/rest endpoints for every data-shape, graphql allows you to build a more general endpoint which give frontend/mobile engineers freedom and query and play with the data. It might be less efficient, add a bit more complexity (need for things like  data-loader ), harder to standardize and control client-contracts for. What it looses in complexity and control, it gains in flexibility and freedom - provided your data model is worth of a graphql-ish query  How to tell if my data-model graphql-ish? Are there complex relationships between y

Backend - Tech refresher 2019

Hello there As a software engineer, it is important to keep updating your skillsets by learning the latest programming-elements (includes  paradigms,  patterns,  languages,  tools and  frameworks ). This becomes a bit easy if you already working on the cutting edge of something. Even then, it is possible to go too deep and loose breadth. I've taken upon myself to do a tech refresher every year. The intent is to read, experiment and understand these elements by spending anywhere between 4 days to 4 weeks. The ultimate goal is: "do I know most  that I need to know to build a planet-scale backend tech-stack ground up" I'll write up my learnings in posts to help myself (and maybe others) refer it. Here is the initial list I'm thinking about: Redis MySQL, GraphQL Aurora, Mesos, Kubernetes Cadence, SWS Cassandra, MangoDB, NoSQL, MySQL, Spanner, S<, DynDB ELK Flink, Storm, Samza, Spark Hadoop HDFS, Yarn, MapReduce Hive, HBase Kafka, Zookeeper NW:
