GIT Cherry Picking

-

 Ever had a colleague telling you "hey bro can you please have a look at this commit ?" , or you tell a colleague "hey bro , please check the changes i made with this commit" ? Basically someone else asking you to check the changes they made with a specific commit ? In such a case how do you get the files by a specific commit to your local computer ? Well me , until today , I have been copying those files manually to my local like an idiot. But just now I found out that you can use the built in git command of git cherry-pick for this kind of work! 


Just type git cherry-pick <commit-hash> and you can get your buddy's code onto your local with a blink of an eye. This will automatically commit the commit to your local though , so if you are a man of culture like me just use git cherry-pick -n to stop it from committing. This still stages the changes but least you can have a look at the diff easily this way. I'm pretty sure there must be plenty of other options too but your boy didn't look around as this is a very short note which I am writing just to express my joy and share the good news with you guys. Happy cherry picking !

 Ok guys so i wasted about an hour trying to figure out how to bind to the "disabled" property in a textbox in angular. And after trying for a long time i realized that my code is not working as expected because , you have to use null instead of "false" to control it. Please refer to the stackoverflow answer below. Darn it ! https://stackoverflow.com/questions/42179150/how-to-disable-a-input-in-angular2/43765804

Connecting to AWS DynamoDb with .NET CORE

Recently i was trying out this course on Udemy on designing microservices architecture based solutions with .NET core and AWS. It was a good course but like most Udemy courses ( ahem ) it had some holes here and there. One of the things i found most troubling is that it did not explain how to connect to AWS' DynamoDb which they was used as the database for the course project, using .NET core. When i checked the questions section of Udemy it was evident to me that i was not the only guy having this problem. Also the information on the all mighty internet was a bit scattered on this problem so i had to read a lot. There WAS instructions on the AWS documentation but it was...let's say i was too stupid to understand it!  So therefor , here are the steps i followed to get my solution working , if you are stupid like me i hope you will find this useful :) Step 1 Create an AWS account , if you don't have one already. Im a poor developer so i only have a humble free tier account.

 Yes , reading YouTube comments is fun. But reading too many YouTube comments can lead you take a deep dive into the dark bottomless pit of irrelevant internet crap. Therefor , your man with a plan Mr. Gabs has the following solution to get rid of this for good.  ( I will probably delete this post If I ever go for an interview at Goggle ) Anyways  , steps to achieve Liberation from YouTube comments : 1. Get GreaseMonkey or TamperMonkey , if you use any other browser then we can't be friends 2. Read This to get an idea on how it works 3. Take this script which I copied from stackoverflow with my own bear hands and use it to achieve your goal // ==UserScript== // @name         Hide youtube comments // @namespace    http://tampermonkey.net/ // @version      0.1 // @description  In memory of the guy who wrote this // @author       You // @match        https://www.youtube.com/* // @icon         https://www.google.com/s2/favicons?domain=youtube.com // @grant        none // ==/UserScript=
