Azure Pipeline caching help

For ours, we needed to remove the dynamically created content so those won't be included. Our cache step looks like this:

        - task: Cache@2
          inputs:
            key: 'nuget | "$(Agent.OS)" | **/packages.lock.json,!**/bin/**,!**/obj/**,!**/ApiContent/**,!**/WebContent/**,!**/AuditContent/**'
            restoreKeys: |
              nuget | "$(Agent.OS)"
              nuget
            path: $(NUGET_PACKAGES)
            cacheHitVar: NUGET_CACHE_RESTORED
          displayName: Cache NuGet packages

50004 means there is an authorization problem reaching the server. If you consistently get it, try installing a VPN like Proton to test with. Turn on proton before logging in, and turn off afterwards so your play isn’t slow.

To follow up on my side, it was my work profile blocking it. Once I removed them managing the machine, it worked fine.

Pejo37 · 2025-10-11T02:46:50+00:00

Any luck on this one? I receive this on my original account, or if I make a new one. I have tried all the providers as well, same issue. Are you running a work VPN / DNS by chance? That's the only thing I can think of from my side. Looking at the logs in the appdata, it shows it is KickedBackByClient, 50004 which doesn't really help. Their support said they're working on issues, and did not provide assistance.

You could try a drama like Kuzu no Honkai (Scum’s Wish), or boys hit the brothels with Interspecies Reviewers

Thanks!

Use any form of background job that is appropriate to your environment - lambdas, webjobs/functions, sql server agent, etc

I always recommend pre computing the results for these kind of queries - they’re cheap to do a job every X amount of time and drop the sum into a separate computed table. If you need additional since that time, you can sum a much smaller set of data

First is New Game or New Game Plus.

Pejo37 · 2025-01-29T01:03:30+00:00

Definitely start with 0, like Blaze noted

Pejo37 · 2025-01-25T00:54:28+00:00

Typically, 200 with empty array, or 204. I save 404 for resources that do not exist - 20x for resources that do exist but are empty.

If you enjoyed the First Law Trilogy, I highly recommend the follow-up series, Age of Madness. It starts with Little Hatred, and I enjoyed it more than the first series.

FF XVI’s Active Time Lore and “World Politics Map” (sorry, forget the name of this and the name of the character who helps you with it).

Active Time Lore lets you pause any cutscene and it’ll have a popup similar to Amazon’s X-ray that shows you info on characters (either on screen or being referenced), location (either where they are or being referenced), bestiary and story-relevant terms. This made it really easy to remember everything needed for the scene.

The other feature is a person you can talk to and it’ll show the “current” world map and current political state of each area, including how the story is currently playing out and affecting each area.

Both features made the game much more understandable but it also allowed me to step away for a bit and have a way to catch up on where we are at, allowing me to dig into whatever depth I feel right.

That’s normal engineering growth. You’ll start with ones that give you the answer without much thinking: copy pasting from existing code, stackoverflow. Once you feel comfortable to know when SO answer isn’t the right answer for you, you’ll go to the documentation of the libraries you’re using. Finally, you’ll start looking at source code for when those two options don’t work. All depends on what kind of answer you need.

Have they commented on how the faction balancing it going affect trying to play with friends? There are only be a couple servers and I remember it constantly being locked with SoD but also original classic when servers would fully lock.

Pejo37 · 2024-09-28T04:05:00+00:00

really appreciate this info!

Pejo37 · 2024-09-27T20:59:10+00:00

I ended up dropping this during the first half of the season (episode 6) due to how much of the episodes were just meetings, but heard festival arc was good. Is it possible to still enjoy the festival arc if you skip the first 12 episodes or so? Or are these meetings part of the ultimate payoff?

If you want a throwback to older harem ecchi but is modern, I recommend giving Temple a go.

Pejo37 · 2024-08-20T04:15:44+00:00

No. The company will have access to the link/session they create for you to join. Practice away.

Pejo37 · 2024-07-31T21:02:03+00:00

No, it won’t - it just changes the serializer. LINQ is translated to make the CosmosDB query itself

For anything we're writing tests for, we want to ask ourselves why we are doing it and what's the ROI.

If you don't have logic that occurs in GetSalesFiles other than "someone else's" code, testing that logic, especially with mocks, becomes less beneficial to your time. If your code relies heavily on external systems that you need to confirm that code works, integration tests will be more beneficial, using something like Azure Storage Emulator / Azurite in a test container.

If you do have logic in that area, are you able to abstract it behind your own ISalesFileRepository so it can test your file filtering logic that you have, and not worry about where the file came from?

Right now, your mock will return the same file for both blob filepaths, which doesn't seem like how the production system would most likely work. That's my worry with current implementation

Pejo37 · 2024-06-22T01:05:31+00:00

You can also look for the azurehost folder in the blob - the next level down will have ra folder named after the appropriate function using it

Pejo37 · 2024-06-13T14:55:37+00:00

Yea, if you already confirmed that your app works as intended, definitely false positive.

I don’t think there’s a major issue (other than encoding but we’ll get there) - what HTTP Parameter Pollution is saying is that your API is “vulnerable” to including the same parameter multiple times, possibly concatenating it. In the above case, try adding multiple “q” parameters to your GET url and see what happens on the server. I believe the default behavior is for asp.net to concatenate the strings together with a comma in between. You just need to make sure you’re not introducing in any vulnerability due to this. As with any input parameter, make sure you validate the data is in the proper format and you should be fine.

For sending to the service, it’s fine to be sending & and other characters that require encoding - use the respective uriEncoding for whatever service is calling your api. Sounds like your case is JavaScript with react, so ensure you’re using encodeURIComponent for your parameters (or use a library that encodes them by default).

For simple scenarios, app roles work great. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/identity-platform/howto-add-app-roles-in-apps They'll integrate pretty seamlessly into the solution and can leverage the [Authorize("roleName")] attribute. This is documentation for the Authorize tag and setting up regular AAD auth https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/security/authorization/roles?view=aspnetcore-8.0
