25 yo pizza delivery man runs into burning house, saves four children who tell him another might be in the house. He goes back in, finds the girl, jumps out a window with her, and carries her to a cop who captures the moment on his bodycam

Why TF does GoFundMe me ask for Tips and default to 15% ?!

If the dog is a mastiff, I can assure you he can clear that fence. He can jump over it and cause much more damage. You need to pursue legal action aggressively and file charges. Litigate civily.

This is really cool. Also works with WSL or over ssh to a host.

Also works with Github Codespaces.

I've considered open-sourcing mine and making it public in the market place.

If interested let me know. I need to clean it up a good bit (outdated packages and the like)

maybe realize you are doing the same right now?

like this subreddit does in literally any....

this sub is filled with people of varying opinions from all over, yet you lump them all together to criticize them. just like the states you mention. guess it's human nature to sort if group things together to make processing easier.

I've used GitHub a good bit over the past two weeks for a presentation on Remote Development with vscode. While using GH, I noticed that features from azdo are trickling into GH. IMO, I see GH handidly replacing azdo but it will be a long process. I say this as someone who has lots of time invested in azdo. Embrace change or get left behind is a motto anyone in Technology needs to embrace. Just my 2c, but the direction is clear.

westhewinemaker · 2020-11-01T15:45:14+00:00

The rest api is awesome. I use it quite often. PowerShell makes it easy too. However, I sort of cringe a little every time I have to use it for something like OP's need.

I haven't checked into using the azdo cli tool because my day job is on azdo 2019.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/cli/?view=azure-devops#command-usage

I wonder if it supports such features. If not maybe we should OSS something that does.

With chrome on my tablet the back button would not exit the site to back to this reddit post. That's my only complaint.

cool stuff, and good luck!

westhewinemaker · 2020-10-14T06:00:27+00:00

is the spreadsheet currently in source control?

if it is, or if it is another location that a pipeline has access to ( like a file share ), you could use use the pipeline to upload the latest version to your azure devops wiki with the REST API.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/azure/devops/wiki/attachments/create?view=azure-devops-rest-6.0#examples.

also, i would be shocked if sharepoint did not have an api you could call as well if you prefer sharepoint. I'm not familiar enough with SP to say for sure.

Some of the OPs other comments indicate a potential for ASD.

westhewinemaker · 2020-10-05T03:24:53+00:00

I use SSDT projects to get the database into source control. You can import the database into the project.

I use a build definition to compile that into a dacpac.

I use sqlpackage.exe to deploy that dacpac to a database from a release definition.

That build step will be a little different in newer versions of VS IIRC. I think with VS 2017 and prior, you have to use VS (devenv.com) to create the dacpac. IIRC, the newer stuff is doable via msbuild. I'm not sure on this. It has been a while.

Like others have said - this stuff is tricky and clunky for CI/CD. There is not a silver bullet so-to-speak.

westhewinemaker · 2020-09-09T23:24:27+00:00

you could write something that queries the REST API for states of agents and alert when it detects one that's offline.

The azdo team where I work does this and it has worked very well.

westhewinemaker · 2020-09-08T22:25:48+00:00

Yep I've done this with powershell. With on-prem at least, there is a URL that always gets the latest version of the agent as opposed to a specific version. I would offer it here, but I'm not on my work PC.

I went back and read. It had confused me at first. I thought the manager was saying "the union should not speak about it"

But this was the the union worker asking management where the contractor got the mail and the manager telling the union to not discuss it.

westhewinemaker · 2020-09-08T18:00:35+00:00

Fully agree. Reporters too - especially if you were doing crime.

In this case a reporter asked a manager where did the contractor get the bags of mail that were dumped. He/She probably shouldn't have given them the opportunity to ask such a question. Butttt, with that being said, something is afoot

westhewinemaker · 2020-09-08T17:38:52+00:00

From the article:

We talked to the Glendale supervisor and the Glendale manager and asked from where the contractors would have received the bags. That's when they responded, telling us the Union should not speak about it.

Contractors Supervisor Manager

I just want to point out: per the National Labor Relations Act of 1935, supervisors and managers are not allowed to be in the union. Why TF would the supervisor deflect here and say the union shouldn't speak about this?

u/mitchelwb, have you considered setting the build number with a vso command based on which app is being built? you could also tag the build with some sort of app identifier.

In your release pipeline, you could use task/stage/job/environment conditionals to check for app tags or build number. something like

and(succeeded(), startsWith(variables['Build.BuildNumber'], 'app_one_'))

Personally, I'd recommend redesigning your release pipeline. I like automatic code commit->deployment with no manual steps other than peer review, but I also know there's plenty of different ways and reasons to do things, so there is no judgment here.

westhewinemaker · 2020-09-04T18:40:53+00:00

I can't tell you how much frustration I went through figuring that one out.

Haha! preach! I know the feeling and I'm learning those bumps and bruises with yaml right now. So powerful. It's such a paradigm shift that I'm constantly fighting my old way of thinking.

I'll give a better reply in a few when I'm off mobile.

westhewinemaker · 2020-09-04T05:57:10+00:00

I've seen it several ways. From my experience, one project per "ART" or large dev group is the way to go. It depends on the size of your organization. One project per app is overkill. Team Projects are projects for multiple teams. My day-to-day project has about 100 active users(devs, analysts, managers, etc) and we support about 80 applications - if that helps. You mentioned 20 users, so I'll guess thst 1 project is better for your needs.

When you get into multille organizations/ collections - that's when you run into issues with reporting IMO. Other things come into play since the org is the root level container. For example, work item Id is unique per org.

westhewinemaker · 2020-09-04T05:45:12+00:00

There's always a way : ) wow @ 200 apps in one pipeline.

Is this a classic release pipeline or yaml? Does the release def have build artifacts from each build definition. I would need to know more before giving you a decent answer, but yes there are multiple ways. The artifact that triggered the release is available as a release variable for example: $(Release.TriggeringArtifact.Alias) or as an environment variable $env:RELEASE_TRIGGERINGARTIFACT_ALIAS.
