Why is the right Log Analytics SQL to get these fields that are not under audit logs?

Summary The issue at hand is the inability to access certain fields, such as protoPayload.serviceName, in Log Analytics using SQL queries, while these fields are accessible in the Log Explorer. This discrepancy leads to questions about the limitations of Log Analytics and potential errors in SQL syntax. Root Cause The root cause of this issue … Read more

Intersector.intersectSegmentPolygon seems to be giving different results

Summary A user reported inconsistent behavior with Intersector.intersectSegmentPolygon during pathfinding graph generation. In one context (debug rendering), line-of-sight checks between nodes succeeded, but in the primary logic path (inside pathFromTo), they failed, preventing path calculation. The root cause was mutable object state being altered by method calls, specifically the side effects of Polygon.setPosition. This caused … Read more

Excel formula to check if a cell’s contents is a date

Summary The problem requires an Excel formula to identify dates in the format MM/DD/YYYY and flag them as an error, while ignoring non-date numbers and dates with a preceding apostrophe. The formula should be able to distinguish between dates and non-date numbers, such as 82 or 2026. Root Cause The root cause of the issue … Read more

Is “Override content” disabled in chrome devtools for resources from 3rd party urls?

Summary When debugging an e-shop using Chrome DevTools, you may notice that “Override content” is disabled for resources served from third-party URLs (e.g., https://cdn.shopify.com/extensions/…), and breakpoints cannot be set in the Sources panel for these files. This is expected behavior due to browser security policies. Specifically, modern browsers, including Chrome, enforce the Same-Origin Policy and … Read more

Spring Boot JWT cookies not sent cross-site from React frontend on Vercel -> Render backend (403 Forbidden)

Summary A production outage occurred where a React frontend on Vercel could not authenticate against a Spring Boot backend on Render, resulting in 403 Forbidden errors. The root cause was misconfigured SameSite cookie attributes and missing CSRF protection. While SameSite=None was intended, it requires the Secure attribute and explicitly requires SameSite=None (case-sensitive). More critically, disabling … Read more

How to make a file server with vanilla Node.js without any database library

Summary To create a file server with vanilla Node.js without any database library, we need to focus on file system management and user authentication using local JSON files. This approach allows for a simple, database-less solution for storing and retrieving user files. Root Cause The root cause of complexity in implementing such a system lies … Read more

Can’t change sprite position in AnimationPlayer Godot

Summary In Godot 3.x/4.x, the Sprite2D/3D position property is not directly keyable in AnimationPlayer. Attempting to animate position on a Sprite node directly causes conflicts (e.g., snapping back to the initial key or being ignored). To animate a sprite’s transform, you must animate a parent Node2D (or Node3D) and keep the Sprite as a child … Read more

Refactor Stateful/Loop-based approach into Set-based approach

Summary The provided Oracle Pipeline function attempts to calculate marketing budget allocation using a stateful, row-by-row procedural approach within a database cursor loop. While functionally valid for sequential datasets, this implementation is architecturally fragile and inefficient for large-scale data processing. The function relies heavily on mutable variables (v_grp_alloc_cum, v_total_budget, v_grp_max_alloc) to track state across rows, … Read more
