Last time, we fixed the problem of creating a unique_ptr whose deleter's constructor was might throw an exception . But we're not out of the woods yet. Let's take another look at what we have: if (d.try_as<::INoMarshal>()) { void* p; if constexpr (std::is_reference_v<Delegate>) { p = winrt::detach_abi(d); } else { winrt::copy_to_abi(d, p); } return [p = std::unique_ptr<void, in_context_deleter>(p, {}), token = get_context_token()](auto&&...args) { if (token == get_context_token()) { std::remove_reference_t<Delegate> d; winrt::copy_from_abi(d, p.get()); d(std::forward<decltype(args)>(args)...); } else { throw winrt::hresult_error(CO_E_NOT_SUPPORTED); } }; } We had originally broken the rule that the u...

AWS Glue Data Quality now supports a new Distribution Analyzer that generates frequency distribution profiles for your data. Using this new Distribution Analyzer in the Data Quality Definition Language (DQDL), you can generate histograms for numeric columns and value distributions for categorical, date, and boolean columns. With support for custom bin counts, you can explore the shape and patterns of your data at the granularity that matters most to your use case. Understanding how data is distributed is foundational to building reliable data pipelines. Distribution statistics help you quickly identify skewness, outliers, and unexpected patterns across your datasets, without writing custom code. The capability integrates directly with your existing DQDL rulesets, so you can add distribution profiling alongside your current data quality checks in a single evaluation run. Distribution statistics are stored in Amazon S3 for future querying through services like Amazon Athena, and are al...

Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) for SQL Server now supports restoring Transparent Data Encryption (TDE)-enabled SQL Server databases on Multi-AZ instances and instances configured with a read replica in the same region, using native backup and restore. Previously, TDE-enabled database restore was available only for Single-AZ instances, requiring you to disable TDE or migrate to a Single-AZ configuration before restoring encrypted databases. You can restore TDE-enabled database backups directly to Amazon RDS for SQL Server Multi-AZ instances and instances configured with a read replica in the same region. Back up your existing TDE certificate, store it in Amazon S3, and restore it to your Amazon RDS instance with the TDE option enabled. Then, restore your TDE-enabled database backup from Amazon S3 using Amazon RDS native backup and restore. This simplifies your migration and recovery workflows when you require both encryption at rest with TDE and the high availabi...

It looked like we were done when we fixed the problem of releasing a non-marshalable delegate on the correct thread . But we missed something. Again. if (d.try_as<::INoMarshal>()) { void* p; if constexpr (std::is_reference_v<Delegate>) { p = winrt::detach_abi(d); } else { winrt::copy_to_abi(d, p); } return [p = std::unique_ptr<void, in_context_deleter>(p), token = get_context_token()](auto&&...args) { if (token == get_context_token()) { std::remove_reference_t<Delegate> d; winrt::copy_from_abi(d, p.get()); d(std::forward<decltype(args)>(args)...); } else { throw winrt::hresult_error(CO_E_NOT_SUPPORTED); } }; } The first part gets a raw ABI pointer, either by moving it out of the inbound delegate if we can, else ...

You know the moment. CI goes red, or a build that took 8 seconds yesterday now takes 40, and you're staring at a wall of MSBuild output trying to find the one line that matters. The answer is almost always sitting in the binary log ( .binlog ) - it records every project, target, task, property, and diagnostic in the build. The problem is that reading one has meant firing up a separate viewer and already knowing where to look. What if you could just ask ? That's the idea behind the MSBuild Binlog Analyzer for VS Code, now in Preview on the Visual Studio Marketplace . It brings binlog analysis right into your editor and hands the tedious detective work to GitHub Copilot Chat - so you can stay in the flow and keep shipping. Just want an agent to investigate builds for you - say, unattended in CI? Check out the Microsoft Binlog MCP Server - the same analysis engine, driven headlessly. This post is about the interactive, in-editor experience. The problems it solves Buil...

AWS Elemental MediaTailor now gives you direct control over ad decision server (ADS) timeout. Previously, changing these settings required contacting AWS Support. You can now configure individual HTTP ad request timeouts, total ad personalization time budgets for live, VOD, and live ad prefetch, and enable parallel ADS requests. These settings allow you to optimize ad delivery performance for your specific workflows. For example, you can increase the personalization time budget for live events to improve ad fill rates or enable parallel ADS requests in VOD workflows to reduce overall response time for faster video startup. New prefetch-specific timeout settings give you additional granularity for livestream ad retrieval. You can configure these settings through the AWS Elemental MediaTailor console, AWS CLI, or AWS SDKs using the new AdsPersonalizationTimeouts and AdsPersonalizationConcurrency parameters on your playback configurations. This feature is available in all AWS Region...
