Wait until they hear that CO has only half of the poisonous oxygen....

The most likely reason (assuming there really was a reason) is that you wanted to return a completely _different_ array to the caller vs just mutating the contents of the passed array from within the callee.

Surely the current nomenclature is "men of fighting age" ! Have to admit, it never occurred to me they might be talking about COD ! ;-)

Indeed - or "take the (500 lines of unstructured) output from that last command and turn them into a CSV file with these columns..."

I mean imagine being in the audience for this thing and NOT raising your hand at the end to politely ask "dude - wtf are you on?"

One significant - & dangerous - thing to watch for is professional commentators objecting to words rather than examining the evidence. It's pearl-clutching & cowardly, obviously, but also a deliberate attempt to avoid confronting exactly what they themselves are facilitating and often cheering on.

How pretty is this? Plotting asset journeys using a "pseudo heatmap" on the amazing MapsUI component by @pauldendulk.bsky.social Points are colored using a new "heatmap_color" function in the KQL engine

Admittedly, this is more of a terminal feature but still... :-)

Oh.. and to answer your question.. very _very_ much against them.

NeilMacMullen @neilmacmullen.bsky.social · 29d

Even assuming (optimistically) a majority of these are bots and troll farms it's depressing that we're in an environment where people can post this kind of stuff. They won't win but we need to take it seriously.

Kusto-Loco 1.3.8 released. Headline feature is client support for:

- Azure Defender (Advanced Threat Hunting)
- LogAnalytics
- ARG (Azure Resource groups)

Lokqldx can not only issue queries to these but also supports 'render' unlike the native APIs

Would be genuinely interested in your thoughts if you do. I used it a long time ago on some mega-refactoring projects and liked what it could do but can't really justify the expense for day-to-day development

C# expression trees to start inserting Excel formulae ! ;-)

NeilMacMullen @neilmacmullen.bsky.social · Sep 19

Kind of neat if you're dealing repeatedly with the same data shapes or using excel to persist data you want to operate on with code. That's a fairly unusual case where I'm from but I may well be in a minority. I guess the other question is where does this end ? I mean you could use...

This is very cool and I encourage anyone interested in mapping to check out this amazing library!

ARG/Defender don't support the render operator afaict but I found a way :-)

NeilMacMullen @neilmacmullen.bsky.social · Sep 17

True - though you then have the overhead of having to decode the assembly. A couple of tools that _might_ help though I'm skeptical at this scale.. Resharper and NDepend. Both paid but with free trials. NDepend is probably close to doing what you want.

In a day? Tricky, but a blunt-force approach would be to build a simple grep-like tool to look for class definitions and then count callsites for their constructors. That would at least give a "way in" for identifying things that might be moved easily or conversely have high dependent count.

HELP WANTED... It has not escaped my notice that a lot of people round here use KQL for something they call "infosec" rather than for drawing pretty charts. Therefore, I have added Defender, Monitor and ARG clients to Lokqldx. However, not being a user myself, I am looking for beta testers...

Sure but I mean it's 7-8 times slower! that seems... like not just a slower file system ?
