While not assassination-related, the specific details of CIA’s anti-Castro “Operation #Mongoose” - causing widespread crop failures, sabotaging merchant shipping, sending in large numbers of agents in the guise of students, creating false broadcasts to suggest that anti-Castro insurrections were occurring… - are fascinating (better word: “horrifying”) reading. And they are certainly deserving of many decades of #CIA secrecy.

I wonder what will happen to #mongoose and #PocketCast which are not so prominent but widely used programs from #Automattic besides their prominent #WordPress .
The change comes after legal troubles, and (some portion of) backslash after Ma.tt made drastic moves against a competitor, which undercuts wp.com by only contributing very little and cutting features.

As far as I'm aware, there are currently no plans to erect a commemorative monument or plaque for Snowy, despite her unique appearance and profound impact on Adelaide Zoo. If you also think she deserves a tangible testament to her lasting legacy, please sign this petition:

I dedicate this special video to Snow White "Snowy" the Meerkat, who passed away on 31st October. As a meerkat enthusiast who spent years dreaming of meeting her in-person before finally being able to last year, the news of her death was heartbreaking. I'm forever grateful for the time I managed to spend with her, and to all the zoo staff and volunteers at ​⁠ for ensuring Snowy's life was as long and happy as possible. May she Rest In Peace 🤍

@vmaldosan@defcon.social adding a backend of ExpressJS + MongoDb. The basic API is almost ready, but after many hours of try and error, I couldn't figure out how to include a Map as a property of users. Today I switched from the official NodeJS client to Mongoose and it works!

July 7, 2019 – Couscous with a Mongoose – Tsingy de Bemaraha, Madagascar

Enjѹ㏌g a lunch of couscous ㏌ a canyon chamber，a fellow tourist screa㎳，'A rat!' Nope: A mongoose．As distant from a rat as it is from a walrus.

Found at a half price books -
Star Fleet A Call to Arms (RPG?) for $12.00 seemed like a good deal.
And D&D Spelljammer Adventures in Space (Box set) appears like this is new and was $35 which I don't think is quite half off but was still a good deal. So of course I grabbed both.

Thanks for your support!

looks like the #Mongoose module for #NestJS just got a whole lot better too 😄

i can define schemas with just schema classes now!

https://github.com/nestjs/mongoose/issues/2182

looks simple enough right? right?

```typescript
@Injectable()
export class InstanceToPlainPipe implements PipeTransform {
constructor(private readonly options?: ClassTransformOptions) {}

transform(value: unknown) {
return instanceToPlain(value, this.options)
}
}
```

wrong! because: https://github.com/typestack/class-transformer/issues/1324

#Mongoose / #MongoDB query selector options start with `$`, which isn't valid in #GraphQL. using `@Expose` isn't an option now either.

overcook my beans and yell me a river but this sounds like a tomorrow problem.

and something for good ‘ol `JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(x))` 🙉

great. i should have validated this earlier.

i thought i'd use the `ValidationPipe` in #NestJS to convert our DTOs from something #GraphQL friendly to something i could pipe directly into #Mongoose but it turns out that isn't an option because of this bloody line:

https://github.com/Automattic/mongoose/blob/d861d212028e20765ac1aa5523bf641fbf8f4b3d/lib/cast.js#L314

our arguments are deeply nested, so we can provide options like `where`, `sortBy`, etc. so we use `class-transformer` decorators under the hood to convert them to the input classes which we can subsequently transform and validate... but Mongoose expects a POJO ...and classes are functions 🤦‍♀️

the options are to either add an extra transform step at the `ArgsType` DTO to convert the input to a POJO or basically add a pipe that does the same.

i was really hoping it would be just as simple as implementing some `toObject` interface of sorts. grr.

oh #Mongoose, we come head-to-head once again 🤌

> how does the mongo driver maintain the sort order of keys when it is stored as an object?

it doesn't – and relying on the fact that it may is a bad idea[1]. databases, especially #NoSQL ones, over time begin to look very ugly and fields that once felt aptly named no longer make sense so we rely heavily on aliases. this also makes it easy to transform / rename fields on the #GraphQL level without impacting the database or affecting older applications, but i digress.

anyhow, TIL or today-i-encountered actually that by using aliases on sort fields (something we had oddly never needed to do before) the `translateAliases` method for Mongoose models does not maintain the order of the object it receives.

this means `{ a: 1, b: -1, c: 1}` could very well become `{ a: 1, c: 1, B: -1 }` when transformed by this method (where b is an alias of B) and thus breaking the sort order of the application.

disclaimer: i know this is a matter of code cleanliness vs. what we can or can't do since we could just not use aliases for sorting, but that's extra mental load, y'know?

Found this bike someone dumped at the trash can off the bike trail. Waited to see if they would come for it, but never did, so I checked it out. One of the brake cables is broken and the shifters are all out of whack, but it's otherwise in good shape. Gonna get some new cables for it, clean it up, and give it some general TLC and see if I can make it a wife-worthy bike.
