For some reason their API would not return anything for assembly. I was curious to see where it would rank too,

Apparently it due to an issue with Kotlin - https://github.com/code-golf/code-golf/issues/151#issuecomment-1126266250

Biggest things I’m seeing is CVE-2023-21709 for Exchange requires a PowerShell script to be run after patching. Also, CVE-2023-29328/29330 for Teams affect all devices (Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android).

Interesting. As someone who mainly deals in PowerShell, this is very similar to the Where-Object clause and could save me some headaches when I need to work in Python.

From personal experience, it seems like things outside of your normal listening don’t affect too much. At least in my case, my daughter making me play the Encanto soundtrack 250,000 times hasn’t affected my weekly or daily playlists.

That’s pretty similar with what happened with me and the train. Kept getting random drops from a plant. I went out to investigate and everything tested perfect and the network was staying up. That was until a freight train rolled by. Turns out AT&T had run the line by shoving a piece of PVC through the gravel between two cross-ties, then running the cable through it.

I’ve actually had an excavator take out my network. I’ve also had networks taken out by forklift, train, and a semi-truck towing three other semi-trucks.

Basically every Windows sysadmin is indebted to Mark Russinovich and SysInternals. Fortunetly, PowerToys has come a long way because I’m pretty sure sysinternals haven’t been updated since Windows XP.

Been there. I’ve written some slick code in a weekend that has run great for years. I’ve also spent 2 hours trying to get a button lined up properly.

I come from the windows world with a strong background in PowerShell, and this article perfectly described my experiences with Python.

I spent 2 weekends trying to get JupyterHub up and running with the dotnet interactive kernels. And it all came down to ensuring that the right packages got installed at the right levels. Between the system, conda, and pyenv. And this is not the first time I’ve run into such problems.

I know it said anaconda is the worst offender, but honestly I wish there was a similar solution for PowerShell. I love the self-contained environments. It makes experimenting so much quicker and easier. But there is a learning curve.

And he right. I got so frustrated trying to figure out pip vs conda vs conda-forge vs pip3 vs pipx. For someone who only casually delves in python, it can be real off-putting.

However, nothing to me is more frustrating than running into package XYZ updated and now package ABC won’t load. XYZ now requires python 3.10, but ABC can only run on 3.9 and below, etc. I have rage quit more than a few projects over stuff like that.

So, as someone who only dabbles in python, my number one suggestion is to use requirements files and put version number requirements in them. And if your project has some out of the ordinary combination and you use conda, provide a brief rundown of how to install and enable it. Those few lines in your readme could make all the difference for python noobs/hacks like me.

I’ve used ChatGPT and Copilot to help with PowerShell in the past. For the most part I’ve found it, okay. But I can definitely see how that could happen. I’ve had a few instances where is tried giving me cmdlets that don’t exist. This means it is just taking pieces of code from someone else’s project and not understanding how it all fits together. So, if I search that cmdlet there is no telling the number of results I could get from good, bad, or irrelevant sources. It would be better if it told you where that code came from. Then I could look at the original source and see if they created custom functions that these AI are considering to be built-in cmdlets.
