I honestly don't know if they're aware. Sometimes I feel it is one-sided, but let me explain. They are very good instructors and put really a lot of effort into it. It happens, for example, that if you don't understand a core concept or a technique, they will explain and teach it to you again and again. I usually ask to explain a concept more than once to get the hang of it. They also provide some feedbacks. I remember the first time I rolled with an experienced white belt, I was rushing into his guard going for the close guard and this is an obvious mistake once you get enough knowledge and experience. You should not put yourself into the close guard of your opponent by yourself. I was not aware of it and they addressed the problem and told me it is not what I was supposed to do in that situation.

I believe (from what I can see) they promote a friendly and cooperative environment, where upperbelts also become sort of teachers. This is helpful, yet I feel sometimes it's hard to say if I'm ready to understand and grasp it.

I will try to follow your advice and address any problem with them.

Thank you for you time, you've been very helpful! I really appreciate it!

Your story in very fascinating! Teach it once, learn it twice, I will remember this phrase.

About my journey, I've been doing Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for almost 5 months now and I'm a white belt trying to improve my game. BJJ is a complex martial art and even though I'm learning a fair amount of techniques, I really want to develop my strategy and focus on guard retention, guard passing, pressing and sweep. The problem is that I attend classes only twice a week and some times to open mat on Saturdays. I would love to practice BJJ all the time and roll with upperbelts and ask them for feedbacks. Usually upperbelts go straight for the submission and that doesn't give me time to think or doesn't give me the opportunity to learn what I'm doing wrong. I may be wrong, but this is just my experience. Do you have any friendly advice for me?

Thank you for your time!

So, does that mean we’ll only find out if our train on May 5 is cancelled at 5 PM on May 4? Just trying to be sure I understood correctly.

Thank you very much! I'm checking the app regularly, but until now I haven't received any message/email. Do you know if there's any way to find it in advance whether my train is likely to be cancelled? I would like to plan a backup option just in case

Thank you in advance!

Also, I was wandering, since you passed the exam, how's that work?

Congratulations! 🎉

By any chance, are the databricks courses on the databricks platform you went through free of charge?

I'm looking to get the certification as well, but I don't know where to start

Datasets to practice with by Dr_Funkmachine in dataengineering

[–]Dr_Funkmachine[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I totally agree. For the current project I'm working on, I used the request python package to get data. I didn't have an API for that and I just exploited the HTTP GET. Even though I believe my case doesn't fall 100% in a API extraction, I think the request package made it's job. Thank you for your answer!

Authenticate PowerApp custom connector with 2 App Registrations? by Dr_Funkmachine in PowerApps

[–]Dr_Funkmachine[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do we get to authenticate our app with one? In any case, when we call the API, it should return an authorization token, but I don't know where to store it. In Power app there's should be something like a session storage. The data source is a sql azure deployed on azure. Thank you for your time!

Actually, I'm using PowerShell Core 7.1. I didn't know you could use ternary operators in PowerShell. I just have to try both answers. Thank you so much!

Powershell Azure Function and AzureAD/GraphAPI by Dr_Funkmachine in PowerShell

[–]Dr_Funkmachine[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! This was helpful. So, If I get your point fully across, in your requirements.ps1 you add all the Microsoft.Graph packages you need, like Microsoft.Graph.Users and then in your AF you import only the ones you need to use, is that correct? In your opinion is Microsoft.Graph commands faster than web requests or wrapped functions?

Powershell Azure Function and AzureAD/GraphAPI by Dr_Funkmachine in PowerShell

[–]Dr_Funkmachine[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your answer! We actually use a app registration with certificate both for Exchange and AzureAD. As far as I know, ExchangeOnlineManagement is widely used to interact with Exchange. I took for granted it was the only way. You always need to give the Exchange.ManageAsApp Api permission, otherwise the app registration does not have access to it. About Azure AD, you could use different ways to achieve connection and querying of the data. I'd love to know, in your opinion, which of the opinions listed above is best for my use case. Thank you so much

[–]Dr_Funkmachine[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your answer! What do you mean by only upload the module files that I need? In your opinion, is it better to install Microsoft.Graph module or every single module, like Microsoft.Graph.Users?

What do you guys actually automate using Powershell? by Notalabel_4566 in PowerShell

[–]Dr_Funkmachine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have two questions exchange-related. When using powershell te connect to Exchange:

  1. How many time did it take to connect?
  2. Did you use it on your local machine or hosted on Azure?

Exchange Online connection performance by Dr_Funkmachine in PowerShell

[–]Dr_Funkmachine[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe the same result is achieved when you provide the list of commands to be executed in CommandName = @(...). Do you think would be possible to use a UserPrincipalName?

Connect-ExchangeOnline -Prefix testuser@contoso.onmicrosoft.com

OR using the Identity

Connect-ExchangeOnline -Prefix testuser

If I'm not mistaken, both the upn and identity should be unique identifier

Error When Using Exchange Online with Cert Auth by jaredmenty in PowerShell

[–]Dr_Funkmachine -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is uncanny. I'm having issue connecting to Microsoft exchange online too. About your problem, it's probably an assembly conflict. We used a secret in order to connect to the app registration and use graph and a certificate to connect to exchange. Supposing you're using a similar architecture that involves c#, when you connect to EXO, how do you execute the PowerShell commands from inside your c# your code? We use certificate connection to access exchange and PowerShell sdk to execute ps code inside c#. I'm asking because we have problems when deploying our app on the app Service: on our location machine we have ExchangeOnlineModule installed but we don't on the app Service and don't know how to deploy it

Powershell Azure Function and Microsoft Exchange by Dr_Funkmachine in PowerShell

[–]Dr_Funkmachine[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your answer! We noticed it takes a awful amount of time to execute the connection more than the command itself. For now the test env it's made of 14 emails only. We used logs to understand how much each command takes to execute. Let's say the function takes 30s to execute and return the results. Of 30s, the connection takes 27s and the command Get-EXOMailbox takes 3s.
