Randomly Return Rows in EFCore with Postgresql

Currently working on a random list motorcycles to display on my front. At the moment don't have any priority listening on my site for clients other than the list of bikes I'm trying to sell personally as a source of income. For now this is what I did and its just these two parts to get things going. something . OrderBy ( r => Guid . NewGuid ()). Take ( 3 ) If you don't already have the extension this command will check and install for you. CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS "uuid-ossp" ;

Entity Framework: ToListAynsc & WhereAsync

When upgrading aspnet mvc applications I like to take a look on how I can convert the api's to async. This sometimes is really easy but as things get more complex my queries do as well. So this is a list of ways you can form a where clause on top your  async  but note not all solutions take advantage of it. Notes on EFCore Entity Framework Core provides a set of asynchronous extension methods that can be used as an alternative to the LINQ methods that cause a query to be executed and results returned. Examples include  ToListAsync() ,  ToArrayAsync() ,  SingleAsync() , etc. There are not async versions of LINQ operators such as  Where(...) ,  OrderBy(...) , etc. because these methods only build up the LINQ expression tree and do not cause the query to be executed in the database. https://codereview.stackexchange.com/questions/32160/filtering-a-collection-by-an-async-result Filtering a collection by an async result ,  built an extension method called WhereAsync. publ

Bootstrap3 - Radio Nested/Collapsible

Last year I create a login page which I'm very happy to say I built it just how I wanted it. A rare thing if you've ever had to deal with management. Since the page only existed within sharepoint I want to keep things simple. So I went with jquery 2.x and bootstrap 3.3.7.  Oldies But Goldies; so  a few things I didn't want to create a lot of jquery code. So I had to really use the bootstrap collapsible component as much as I could without breaking it. Examples Bootstrap PixKrh7Su5 Bootstrap Fdjc8kQiER Disable collapse for link in a data-toggle element You need to add a class for those elements that you don't want to fire the collapse event and then stop the event propagation via javascript. So... here is the correct answer. <div class = "panel panel-default" > <div class = "panel-heading" > <div class = "panel-title" data-toggle = "collapse" href = "#collapseOne" >

Gitlab: Switching to Access Tokens with Your Repos

If you haven't yet switch to using Access Tokens for your repo clone. Enable your  Two-Factor Authentication and create an access token under your profile. I've done this with my gitlab and keep forgetting the quick way to update the path/command. Go to https:/// YOURGITLAB.com/ profile/two_factor_auth Then go to  https:// / YOURGITLAB.com/ profile/personal_access_tokens  create a token with the api setting. Now switching your remote url for your git is simple. Using this command.. git remote set-url origin http://USER:TOKEN@YOURGITLAB.com/repo.git If you have multiple origin urls you might have to remove them and add back an origin upstream and reset the origin master as the default upstream. This doesn't normally happen but I had a unique case where I had multiple urls for the origin where I was pushing to multiple repos for the same code. This probably won't be your case but I figure I might add this bit in.

UI-Bootstrap Collapsible Sticky Footer

    I could have done this a lot of ways and ultimately I made it work with javascript modifying the class names. I also had to create multiple class names which I didn't like to much, I might come back and improve this but for now this is was I got. Also I call bootstrap+angularjs = ui-bootstrap, not sure if that's common sense but thought I should include it somewhere in my notes. Working Example: http://plnkr.co/edit/2N9ENlbw3bSvg1W9n0ch?p=preview This little css was key to prevent any kind of animation on the collapse, which would result in a scrollbar appearing on the body. A scrollbar can appear when the content's too long but not on the sticky foot duh! .no-animate { transition-duration: 0.0125s; } Research Angular-UI Bootstrap Collapse without animation - Stack Overflow http://jsfiddle.net/paulalexandru/Z2Lu5/  - Was looking at this to see if I could reuse it but I ended but just doing my own thing. Another way which I've seen Using a sticky

Installing Windows on Acer chromebook 15 cb3-532

Much of my notes are just small problems I faced (what's new!) haha. Either way this was a really fun project to do for a friend and I got excited once I research all the information. You can find instruction videos but what helped me the most was the coolstar website. Sadly they don't have parameters in the url so I can link the machine I used in this article. -  https://coolstar.org/chromebook/windows-install.html Scared of messing with the bios? Don't be!    So you need to first remove the screw to put a legacy bios on the machine. Its easy to backup the chrome os one and with the same steps to change it. You can go back in and revert to the chrome version bios. Its that last part that had me worried and its very easy to do.  Problems getting into Developer Mode?   Follow the instructions to the letter, during the step to disable the OS verification, press Ctrl-D to boot into os. If you hear two beeps I would go back to set one. I got in a loop where it s
