Angular i18n issue - Cannot read property 'toLowerCase' of null

After following the steps in the Angular documentation to setup internationalization(i18n) support, I tried to execute my brand new i18n npm command:

PS C:\Projects\test\AngularLocalization\angularlocal> npm run i18n

> angularlocal@0.0.0 i18n C:\Projects\test\AngularLocalization\angularlocal

> ng-xi18n

TypeError: Cannot read property 'toLowerCase' of null

Whoops! This was not the output I was hoping for…

Strange! Because it worked perfectly before Confused smile. A search through the issues on GitHub brought me to the following issue: https://github.com/angular/angular/issues/16235

The issue seems to have appeared in Angular 4.0.3. Luckily a workaround exists, I altered the commando in my package.json to include the prefered format:

When I invoked the i18n command again, this time it worked without a problem.

Podman– Command execution failed with exit code 125

After updating WSL on one of the developer machines, Podman failed to work. When we took a look through Podman Desktop, we noticed that Podman had stopped running and returned the following error message: Error: Command execution failed with exit code 125 Here are the steps we tried to fix the issue: We started by running podman info to get some extra details on what could be wrong: >podman info OS: windows/amd64 provider: wsl version: 5.3.1 Cannot connect to Podman. Please verify your connection to the Linux system using `podman system connection list`, or try `podman machine init` and `podman machine start` to manage a new Linux VM Error: unable to connect to Podman socket: failed to connect: dial tcp 127.0.0.1:2655: connectex: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. That makes sense as the podman VM was not running. Let’s check the VM: >podman machine list NAME         ...

Cache stampede: when our cache turned against us

While investigating some performance issues, we ran into an ASP.NET Core API that cached a fairly expensive aggregation query for 60 seconds. Under normal load, that was fine: one request rebuilds the cache, everyone else reads from it. Under peak load, dozens of requests would arrive in that same expiry window, all see a cache miss, and all fire the same expensive query in parallel. The database didn't like that. That was the moment when our caching layer stopped helping and started hurting. A burst of requests comes in at the same time, all miss the cache, and all go hammer the database or the downstream API at once. That's a cache stampede . The cache was supposed to protect our backend, and for a few hundred milliseconds it did the opposite. Why this happens IMemoryCache.GetOrCreate (and its async sibling) looks like it protects you, but it doesn't add any locking on its own. Look at the naive version: public async Task<Report> GetReportAsync(string key) ...
