How to prevent a Windows 10 machine from auto-locking
Inegrating Oracle Database 18 with MS Active Directory
I configured DNS on my Windows Server 2016 (takes some time, probably 15 minutes):
ipconfig /registerdns
Creating Android application icons
There are the key links to the docs:
At the moment of writing this post application icons were of the following sizes:

Binding Docker container ports to the host on Ubuntu 18.04 inside Hyper-V on Windows 10
The binding did not work for me until I switched from Internal Virtual Switch to External Virtual Switch and while switching I were getting the following error:
[Window Title]

[Main Instruction]
Error applying Virtual Switch Properties changes
[Content]
Failed while adding virtual Ethernet switch connections.
[Expanded Information]
External Ethernet adapter 'Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller' is already bound to the Microsoft Virtual Switch protocol.
until I switched Hyper-V Extensible Virtual Switch off on my network adapter properties page (after I created External Virtual Switch it switched on back):

Chkdsk cannot run because the volume is in use by another
process. Would you like to schedule this volume to be

This volume will be checked the next time the system restarts.
Measuring SQLite insertion performance with C++ code
I did a quick Google search on “SQLite performance” and found the following:
- What are the performance characteristics of sqlite with very large database files? (The performance degrades significantly when the database size riches 7GB).
- Some Russian article on habr.com. (To boost the insertion we insert by batches in a separate transactions, set synchronization mode to OFF or NORMAL and probably disable indices).
- Some old article on Database Speed Comparison.
- Appropriate Uses For SQLite (An SQLite database is limited in size to 140 terabytes)
- Faster bulk inserts in sqlite3? (You can also try tweaking a few parameters to get extra speed out of it. Specifically you probably want PRAGMA synchronous = OFF;)
- A trivial C++ example.
Then to benchmark SQLite performance by myself I used the following C++ code that inserts 1000 batches of 1000 000 rows to a single table with an integer primary key:
