muck | A build tool for data projects

I am trying to develop a minimal client-only SSL/TLS app to connect to an https server. It always fails on on 'SSL_connect(). I haven't installed any certificates.
Are certicates required in such a case?
I've found many answers on SO and elsewhere that say NO with the caveat "unless required by the server".

Details:

• I'm using the GitHub: OpenSSL package which I built from source.
• All SSL calls prior to SSL_connect succeed,
• On debugging, I see the error happening in function 'SSL_do_handshake' [returns -1].
• I'e tried several different https servers with the same result.
• I'm using MSVC 2019 on a Dell Optiplex Win10/64 machine
• Ideally, I'd like to avoid certificates to avoid having (non-tech-savvy) end-users having to muck with certificates.

Code Synopsis:

• Get method: TLS_client_method()
• Get CTX: SSL_CTX_new(method)
• Create socket 'sock'
• Connect sock to host on port 443
• Create SSL*: ssl=SSL_new(ctx)
• SSL_set_fd(ssl, sock)
• SSL_connect(ssl) [always fails]

There appears to be a hundred questions that are very similar, but none seem to solve my issue.

I have a very basic bootstrap webform with two textboxes - each accepts a serial number that is populated by a handheld scanner attached to the PC. When the user scans the first barcode, the TextChanged event for txtLabelA fires a method that validates the serial number and switches focus to txtLabelB. When the user scans the second barcode it fires the TextChanged event for txtLabelB. This inserts the two values into a cross reference table in the database, displays a success message and clears the form for the next set of serial numbers. Very straight forward. This has worked flawlessly for a long time.

However, recently I was asked to add a button to the form that allows the user to manually type in a serial number and click Submit. This has now mucked everything up, because clicking the Submit button fires the OnClick AND the OnTextChanged events causing the form to postback twice. How can I prevent this?

I am searching for a solution where I can use Azure DevOps SDK to view repositories, branch, commit, etc. like a Blazor or other .NET platforms like WinForm.

Before I start mucking with the SDK and create an application using the APIs, for example, I would rather purchase or use a solution that is already out there without re-inventing the wheel.

I would be interested in any solution that someone had already tried or a paid solution.

Thanking you in advance.

Let's say you were mucking around in a developer instance of Plaid, with 25 accounts in use. As happens in development, the database exploded. So I do not have those access tokens anymore, but have 25 of the 100 slots used in my dev allotment.

I see how I might delete items -- if I had the access tokens. But is there any way to without the access tokens? Or a way of getting all access tokens associated with your plaid API?

I'm making a card game using C++. It's similar to solitaire, i.e. there are different stacks and piles and the cards are moved from one to another.

I'm using std::vector for the various piles, but instead of std::vector, I'm using std::vector>. My rationale for doing this is that:

1. It ensures that the ownership responsibility is with the vector that it is currently in.
2. It makes sure that I never accidentally have more than 1 copy of the same card when transferring between stacks and piles, i.e. forces me to transfer using std::move.
3. I don't have to implement my own copy and move constructors for Card.

Is this a reasonable way to use unique_ptr?

EDIT: Forgot to mention, there are different types of Cards which are derived from a base class. I'm a beginner and didn't want to muck around with different copy and move constructors at all levels.

I've cobbled together (from various online sources) a script that can return data about AD users from a CSV file. It can clearly mark when a user has NOT been found, but perhaps just as important to me is a way of outputting a blank line to the CSV file when the input CSV file also has a blank. That would save a lot mucking around in Excel to make sure that all the blank lines correspond to each other (and subsequently where user data has been found). A 1-to-1 comparsion is the goal.

Here is what I have...

This page on Thread Safety by Microsoft says shared_ptr should be used even if there are multiple copies sharing the same object.

So does this mean that both of the following are acceptable? I've tried both and they appear to work fine.

EDIT: The actual business objective is to get string updates from the long running thread to the main thread. I figured I should use shared_ptr since string is not thread safe. Don't care about ownership honestly.

I can not get my docker-compose Envoy API gateway to properly forward to referenced services.

"Forwarded routes" always end up with the error:

I'm debugging some code in PyCharm by stepping through line-by-line. The code involves a long for-loop, but for debugging purposes, I don't need to iterate through the whole thing. Instead, I'd like to break out after a few iterations. I'm trying to figure out how to do so without modifying my code to have special debugging instructions.
