I'm porting some Jenkins builds into a highly restricted ADO Pipeline environment. When making some CAT files the MakeCAT utility was being used and when verifying INF files the InfVerif tool was being used. In our company's highly restricted ADO environment I can't seem to access tools directly anywhere outside the build directories for the job and was told there wouldn't be a compromise on that.

The best I could figure was directly downloading the files and their dependencies as Secure Files and kluding together tool directories for each required tool. That is a dirty hack and skates around legal grey-areas with tool licensing, so I'm not a fan of that approach. But that said I used DUMPBIN /IMPORTS to see which each respective tool required:

If I want to call function foo on an object thisThing (in C# jargon, this is called the "receiver", so I'll call it that here too) and pass the argument myStuff, I'll do it like this:
thisThing.foo(myStuff);
Super simple, nothing surprising going on here.

If I want to change the argument to yourStuff if a bool value b is false, I'll do it like this:
thisThing.foo(b ? myStuff : yourStuff);
Also very simple, basic use of the ternary operator.

If I want to change the receiver to otherThing if b is false, I'll do it like this:
(b ? thisThing : otherThing).foo(myStuff);
A little bit weirder, you probably don't do this super often, but it's nothing crazy either.

But if I want to change the called function to bar if b is false, how do I do that?
I would think something like this:
thisThing.(b ? foo : bar)(myStuff);
But of course, this does not work.

Is there a simple, neat-looking, performant way of doing this, preferrably without redundantly specifying anything?
There will probably have to be some compromises made, but the point is to not have to repeat the receiver and arguments. So the following works:

I'm trying to create a 64 x 64 image dataset for machine learning from a 2D (576 x 768) geographic array.

The array contains nan values in random locations (random i,j) and the extracted 64 x 64 arrays (images) should not contain any nan values. There's also a mask limiting the amount of appropriate arrays.

What I've done for now is generate random pairs of i and j and examined them for nan values and too much overlapping.

What I need help with is figuring out how to check if after x extractions there remains a 64 x 64 are that hasn't been sampled too many times.

For illustration purposes, this task is equivalent for locating

I'm building a web app and I'm using firebase to store data, I'm trying to make the user log out on to all devices when a password change or deny the user from "read" and "write" on firestore rules that are already authenticated on a different device but the user already changed the password.

I want to do this because in case a user account gets compromised and the original user change the password, the Intruder will still have access to read and write on the database if stay logging

Revoke refresh tokens Password resets also revoke a user's existing tokens; however, the Firebase Authentication backend handles the revocation automatically in that case. On revocation, the user is signed out and prompted to reauthenticate.

I didn't understand how to work with tokens, maybe there is a way to check "if firebase token === user client token" to see if a user on another device using the old token and deny write and read after a password change.

this is what my code looks like:

//reset password :

I'm trying to get my two Golang GRPC endpoints to support idempotency keys. My service will store and read keys from Mongo (because I'm already using it for other data) as a unique index in its own Collection.

I'm thinking of two solutions but each has their weaknesses. I know there's more complex stuff like saving request and response and making the logic ACID. However for my first endpoint, the only-once logic (the endpoint's code which needs to be idempotent) calls a service that sends an email, so it can't be rollbacked. My second endpoint does multiple Inserts in Mongo, which seems can be rollbacked but I'm not sure how and if there's another solution that'd also solve for the first endpoint.

Solution 1

I have a typical Spring Boot 2.x application. I'm currently deploying the application using Docker. I'm also using the built-in shell script that a "distribution" provides — when done via Gradle, read: assembleBootDist, installBootDist, etc.

The issue is that I have to execute (a) some other shell script before starting the application, (b) insert this shell script somehow the built-in one, (c) or something else that achieves the same.

So I wonder if there is a way to accomplish this in a clean way, without introducing any security concerns, etc. I've been trying to plug into the bootStartScripts (Gradle) task, but no luck there. I'm aware there is a launchScript property within bootJar, but as far as I can tell it replaces altogether the actual built-in script provided by Spring Boot — and I'm avoiding that.

Any other shell-fu would also work, provided nothing around security is compromised.

I understand the Oauth code flow which involves the mobile app, app server, auth server, resource server. The app server is registered with auth server using the clientidand secret. The idea being that mobile app calls an endpoint of the app server which triggers the code flow eventually resulting in callback from the auth server to the app server with the auth code. The app server presents the secret and code to auth server to get the access token.

The other legacy option where there is no clientid and secret is the implicit flow wherein the mobile app receives the redirect url with the auth code (assuming redirect url destination is a SPA) which will invoke auth server endpoint to get the access token.

This is insecure because anyone can steal the access code from the url.

The solution to this for clients like mobile app is to use pkce. A random number hash is sent in the initial request which is verified later on when the auth code is passed to retrieve the access token.

This prevents the compromise of the access code from the url if an attacker is snooping because without initial hash the auth code is useless.

However how can the situation where the mobile phone is hacked and the secret and auth code is recorded by an attacker be handled to prevent misuse?

I am trying to reduce the memory consumption of a piece of R code I have been working on. I am using the peakRAM() function to measure the maximum RAM used. It is a long code and there is a simple sapply() function at the end of it. I figured out that it is the sapply() part which is consuming the maximum memory. So I have written a small function fun1() imitating the objects and the sapply() function from that part of my code, which is as follows :

I have been just wondering if it is possible to somehow combine 'if' and 'as' statements like this:
