Background

Running Python scripts in CI pipelines on Windows agents can sometimes cause UnicodeEncodeErrors that don't seem to make any sense. For example, running a simple command with a tool built in click or running dbx build or prefect build may run fine on your local Windows machine, but fail when running in a CI pipeline.

For example, running the below code:

# example.py
import click

dmontagu

import inspect
from typing import Any, Callable, List, Type, TypeVar, Union, get_type_hints

from fastapi import APIRouter, Depends
from pydantic.typing import is_classvar
from starlette.routing import Route, WebSocketRoute

T = TypeVar("T")

CBV_CLASS_KEY = "__cbv_class__"

# safety switch, exit script if there's error. Full command of shortcut `set -e`
set -o errexit
# safety switch, uninitialized variables will stop script. Full command of shortcut `set -u`
set -o nounset

# tear down function
teardown()

Collection Type Guidence

When to use what

• Use Arrays if you know the element types and have a fixed length and/or known-up-front collection size that will not change.
• Use ArrayList if you have an unkown collection size with either unknown or mixed type elements.
• Use a Generic List when know the type of the elements but not the size of the collection.
• Use a HashTable if you are going to do key based lookups on a collection and don't know the object type of the elements.
• Use a Dictionary<TKey, TValue> you are going to do key based lookups on a collection and you know the type of the elements.
• Use a HashSet when you know the type of elements and just want unique values and quick lookups and assignmnets.

    [Jenny]: [[555]-[867-5309]]

Pimping Up Your PowerShell & Cmder with Posh-Git, Oh-My-Posh, & Powerline Fonts

Backstory (TLDR)

I work as a full-stack developer at work. We are a Windows & Azure shop, so we are using Windows as our development platform, hence this customization.

For my console needs, I am using Cmder which is based on ConEmu with PowerShell as my shell of choice.

Yes, yes, I know nowadays you can use the Linux subsystem on Windows 10 which allow you to run Ubuntu on Windows. If you are looking for customization of the Ubuntu bash shell, check out this article by Scott Hanselman.

Did you know you can install fonts without elevation?

The catch is that they're only available for the duration of your session. They are, however, available in all apps across the system.

Someone asked about how to do it on Facebook this week, and at first, I just pointed them at the install script for PowerLineFonts which loops through all the fonts in a folder and install them.

I've used this more than a few times to install some fonts, including the PowerLine ones, which are great:

$sa = New-Object -ComObject Shell.Application

powercode

<Configuration>
  <!-- Add with Update-FormatData -PrependPath -->	
  <ViewDefinitions>
    <View>
      <Name>MatchInfo</Name>
       <ViewSelectedBy>
         <TypeName>Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.MatchInfo</TypeName>
       </ViewSelectedBy>
       <CustomControl>
         <CustomEntries>

Use this trick to bulk delete your old repos or old forks

(Inspired by https://medium.com/@icanhazedit/clean-up-unused-github-rpositories-c2549294ee45#.3hwv4nxv5)

1. Open in a new tab all to-be-deleted github repositores (Use the mouse’s middle click or Ctrl + Click) https://github.com/username?tab=repositories

2. Use one tab https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/onetab/chphlpgkkbolifaimnlloiipkdnihall to shorten them to a list.

3. Save that list to some path

4. The list should be in the form of “ur_username\repo_name” per line. Use regex search (Sublime text could help). Search for ' |.*' and replace by empty.
