@tosensei it gets even more hilarious in non english native countries that have the word azure as well.

But my favorite pronunciation is: money pit

@tosensei I love it!

extra freebee for MS people:

Change the way you pronounce "Azure" every day

Good, testing, especially automated is its weight worth in gold!

@yehaaw Oh absolutely, but IBM in particular, give that vibe. The amount of consultants i have met from there professionally are staggering, and they all seem to start from the perspective "IBM is great and the solution we are selling you is great. Whether it suits your business needs or budget is not our problem"

IBM is a fucking cult these days. Im sure they do great quantum/AI/ML stuff, but still a cult

@Heliarco Its literally a part of the azure developer 101 course (Az-204 atm) how to set up these protections

@Fast-Nop It takes literally 3 minutes to set up:

Go to subscription -> Budget -> create budget -> Create alert rule from budget, enter your email / phone number / whatever.

Wanna also stop budget overruns, add an action group to the alert rule that changes public access rules to the storage account / recycles SAS keys depending on how the public download acces was granted.

You can start making this at 8am, finish at 9am and spend the rest of the day on devrant shaking your head at people complaining about a tool they don't bother learning to use properly

Why the hate on Azure here? It was a misconfigured cache in cloudflare.

Ofcourse you can expect your cloud costs to rise if your caching layer just stops running. That would be true for any cloud.

Fanboys just wanna hate on microsoft for no reason. (Yes i know there are many good reasons, but this is not one of them)

Congratulations, now on to AZ-204 you go :)

@demortes I am very tempted to agree with you, but whenever you dig into the issue of bridging async to sync, you get a thousand different cargo cult'ish solutions and advice. Honestly the lack of a clear and concise example from MS is the issue here. It just seems so half baked.

And yes, i love async programming, but the elephant in the room is that there is just a lot of legacy systems that can't be retrofitted to support async and that means we purposefully just cut them off from support.

@rEaL-jAsE

Working in a synchronous part of a sharepoint 2013 plugin

Final result was:

var task = Task.Run(() => _c.SendAsync(request));

task.Wait();

var response = task.Result;

response.EnsureSuccessStatusCode();

var task2 = Task.Run(() => response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync());

task2.Wait();

var content = task2.Result;

Its shit for UI applications as far as i understand, but in a console it works

@atheist i was legitematly tempted to drop out of the .net environment entirely and use something like Curl yes, but i was told no :/

Im teaching an azure devops course in a week, im stealing this :D

Lol if it wasn't for quartz you wouldn't have a phone to begin with.

Shamelessly stolen from a danish subreddit, but it fits here

Legit loving redis though, i should have bothered checking it out ages ago

I truly think those github stressboards are the worst innovation developers inflicted on themselves

@MadMadMadMrMim it very much does!
C# Actually has tons of ways you can subtly punish good coding practice like you wouldn't believe it. Such as raw pointers etc. but somehow people look at you funny when you use them :(

For extra points, since this changes the timing of built in object disposal, make logic which depends on this feature

@AngryBacon I completely agree that we need to remember the strength training, but that still does not change the fact that in order to make our money, maintain our skill-sets to stay competitive and for many pursue our hobby, we simple sit down a lot more in the same chair than most other. So the chair will matter.

Oh im gonna lose my karma here for sure, but every single ML/AI specialist i have had the pleasure of working with have been a worse developer in everything else than those specialities.

So unless i specifically need ML/AI guys i tend to skip them in interviews given the choice.

To be fair, if you haven't cursed to hell and back because of datetime formats, timezones and summer/winter time. Are you even a developer?

This post not at all brought to you because i spent all day renaming branches due to a corporate policy change, and afterwards unbreaking CI pipelines

@HiFiWiFiSciFi *Night Lord Satan thankyou

@junon Good point, ill have to remember to force add it as well >_>

oh what is that? A shiny reject button :O OH NO WHAT HAPPENS IF I PRESS IT?

Iv'e been there. Pro tip: Most programming tasks (Especially the fun projects we do for ourselves) can be helped by using pen and paper.

Bring a clipboard and pen for when you need to look busy and make some business relevant tables / something on the first page.

Now you can look inconspicuous and do fun dev work at the same time.

Same stack, but hosted on IIS

PERN-IIS thankyouverymuch (Yes i am aparently 3 years old today)
