When using Datadog for monitoring, Datadog will only record a trace if there is an incoming request.
If there is no incoming request, such as if a cronjob is running, then Datadog will not record a trace and you might not be alerted by an error.
To solve this, you can use the ddtrace-py library and create a custom trace/span whenever tag and tag a span with exception information. This will effectively make it possible to track errors in APM error tracking.
In software development, certain software were not designed to run on the ARM-based Apple Silicon. Thankfully, there are workarounds to install and run the Intel version of these applications. Like for the rest of this blog, this post aims to serve as a personal notebook and also for sharing this knowledge.
When I started looking into solutions to my Macbook Pro M1 challenges, a huge chunk was solved when I had read Ekaterina Nikonova's excellent blog post on Python virtual environments with pyenv on Apple Silicon.
This blog post is heavily influenced by her approach of setting up the app and app86 versions for apps which might need both native and emulated treatment.
I recently got some feedback (thank you @simmel, much appreciated!) on a previous post on debugging Poetry. I then realized it was a bit hard to follow if all you wanted to do was to install Poetry globally, with some added control from the default installation method.
This post aims to focus on this and cover the different system-wide installation alternatives that I am aware of.
A guide on how to set up debugging of Poetry in Visual Studio Code, using Pipx and Pyenv.
This was just a fun experiment.
Basically, how to set this up.
The new Windows Terminal (codenamed "Cascadia") was revealed at this year's Microsoft Build conference and quickly received a lot of attention, as it addresses the decades-old terminal experience in Windows.
This is me jotting down notes on how to get up and running with the new Terminal before it gets officially released in the Windows store, using Visual Studio 2019. This is all possible thanks to the fact that Microsoft is open sourcing the new Terminal!
In episode 196 of the (Python) Podcast.init a very commonly discussed topic among open source programmers is covered, which I wanted to share here.
This is a short note on how to make a container access and control another container on the same host. The trick is to have the "controller" container map the host's docker.sock into the container.
Recursively replace all gizmos in Nuke script with a group. The only exception is the Cryptomatte nodes, which will be maintained as gizmos.
