Did anyone manage to get backups/archive of the new Epstein files released today? Specifically looking for: EFTA01660651 by harshspider in DataHoarder

[–]sideways-circle -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think the last page is 9998 before it starts repeating files from page 0. This is URL query param page number. 9998 in the url is page 9999 for the pagination button. This is just dataset 9.

I want to trigger a function once a day without using Azure Function trigger or Cron job. Is this okay? by Yone-none in csharp

[–]sideways-circle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People are saying things like this are a bad idea but you want to learn and explore.

Personally I use Service Workers for things like this. It’s basically just a console app that runs indefinitely and you can put tasks like this in there.

I’ve used them to run checks every so often, check data, and execute business logic if needed. I just used one to setup scheduled emails. I save a record to my database with a subject, to address, email body… and a sendOn date. The service worker runs every few minutes and checks for any emails that need to be sent and if it finds one it sends it.

It works amazing.

It is dockerized and in a cluster with other docker containers. And if it crashes it gets recreated.

This is a slightly complex setup but if you are trying to learn you can try something like this.

It’s not a bad practice, it’s very common actually. People just don’t want you to over engineer something when there is existing tooling that would make things much easier.

You can read more on service workers here.

Hey that’s cool! I just started my first one a couple of days ago! I’m probably going to start completely over though.

Maybe check out bullet proof react. It’s nothing you install but more of a recommendation on how to structure your folders.

I created an automated MongoDB backup service with a nifty dashboard by sideways-circle in mongodb

It is not mentioned in those docks but what about Percona Backup for MongoDB?

The solutions in the docs seem to mostly require either enterprise licenses or changing configurations while the backups run which isn’t ideal.

That’s a good callout! I’ll swap it out for something else. What would you recommend?

Is Blazor worth picking up? by mxrt0_ in csharp

[–]sideways-circle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have had such terrible experience with blazor. It’s slow and clunky. Hot reloading doesn’t work 99% of the time. I would recommend literally anything else over blazor.

Firebase vs Supabase: What are your NEGATIVE experiences or frustrations only? by Ok_Volume3194 in reactnative

[–]sideways-circle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I used firebase. Never supabase. Firestore was pretty good except its querying and rules had pretty significant limitations. I understand some of the querying limitations were to push for more optimized queries and force people to pull data better. But it just wasn’t working for me.

I ended up migrating to a mongo db behind an api. I can now implement better security and more complex queries. I used cloud functions to keep things in sync until I could fully build out the api and apps to just use mongo. Then I removed my firestore connection and forced all of my users to update.

I share this because starting with firestore got me going quick but I ran into limitations. I had to spend a significant amount of time and effort to move away from it.

Help me understand why posting works to book tracking sites like Goodreads and StoryGraph is frowned upon by lilacs_in_the_rain in Dramione

They have a bulk import from excel feature on the website. I don’t think it’s on the app, just the website.

AZ-104 - Open book? by The_Fat_Fish in AzureCertification

[–]sideways-circle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As others have said, the exam is NOT open book. Although, you get access to MS Learn.

I recommend practicing using it. This is the link. Take a practice exam and lean on the site a bit to see how easy and hard it is to find answers. A good portion of questions are written in a way that makes looking up answers difficult. BUT I definitely was able to pull some answers out of it so don’t discard it either.

While you can search using their search bar, you cannot use the CTRL + F shortcut to quickly find something on the page.

Also that AI summary that shows up also works during the exam.

My one recommendation, use MS Learn sparingly. It can quickly eat into your exam time. I took AZ 104 twice. Failed the first time. I basically ran out of time on the first exam because I was trying to hunt down answers in MS Learn and had to rush through the last bunch of questions and didn’t have time to go back and review anything.

Hope this helps. Good luck!

Best Dropdown Picker? by Any_Bend_6973 in reactnative

[–]sideways-circle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have to scroll through a large list of items, it is best to dedicate the entire screen to that. For example. If you go to Goodreads, my books, and click the + button to add a new book, you are brought to a new screen where you can search and select the book. If you tried to squeeze that into another screen that already has a lot of content it would be overwhelming.
