I have been trying to get the code running in a dotnet-isolated azure functions environment with .net8 and ms test and also xunit. The executionContext
.GetLogger<MyFunction>(); statement returns a NullReference-Exception. Any hints?

Hi, What edition of SQL Server were you installing in this process? I wanted to use Express Edition but it is not clear as I can see which edition you are using.

Re: Tide Bank Doesn’t Send Funds From Your Account

It's shocking isn't it!

I've currently got a complaint open with the Financial Ombudsman Service regarding it.
It's the lack of clarity I don't like.

Thank you so much for writing this up and posting it online for people to find. I've been on a eight-month hunt to find my missing tenancy deposit, which was transferred to what I thought was some random account.. but it's this same one. I use Revolut and have never had any problems with sending or receiving money. Because I was never notified of this holder account, I didn't know I was supposed to be looking for it.

Thank you so much. Currently in-app chatting with Revolut - have sent them the link to this article and the BACS trace of the original transfer. They are now 'checking it with the relevant team.'

Fingers crossed!

Thank you!! Couldn't find anything on this exactly. Notepad showed nothing, Notepad++ however showed a lot of NUL characters, which when deleted, fixed my problem!

Sorry for taking so long to get back to you!
If i recall correctly, I had to set the site URL in wp_options table to whatever my proxy URL was, so in my case http://getcarclean.com/blog

Re: Reversing hashes of PwnedPasswords api using number of breaches

Troy Hunt — Fri, 16 Nov 2018 16:32:33 -0000

I've actually suggested to orgs that if ever they do any logging, they should log *ranges* instead of explicit counts. For example:

- Only exposed once
- Exposed 2-10 times
- Exposed 11 to 100 times
- Exposed more than 100 times

This protects the identity of the password and still achieves the objective of "we want to track how bad the passwords people are choosing are". Win-win 😎

Hi Alex!

I'm trying to do exactly the same as you... Could you figure out what to do on wordpress side so that all wordpress internal links get redirected to the new path, and at the same time it will not create an infinite loop?

Best regards!
Marc

Who would have thought that after looking for a solution to this for a few years that I would come across this. Works PERFECTLY! I did exactly what hey said, look in sub option and change the WIFI to A (UK) and it connected immediatley.

Re: C# – String.Concat vs String.Join

caleb_lyle — Fri, 01 Jun 2018 12:04:59 -0000

I think this isn't an accurate test. StringBuilder's Append method works like string.Concat and not string.Join so you have to append the space between each word. Also, just doing the appends will not return a string, but a StringBuilder object. You have to call ToString after to get the string.

Here is an example:

new StringBuilder().Append(the).Append(space).Append(quick).Append(space).Append(brown).Append(space).Append(fox).Append(space).Append(jumps).Append(space).Append(over).Append(space).Append(the).Append(space).Append(lazy).Append(space).Append(dog).ToString();

When I add these changes, it looks like string.join is faster.
Sorry for replying to an old post

It worked once. And then the next time my TV was totally powered off, it forgot the wifi again. And this fix doesn't' work twice because you can't change from E to A when it's already A.
