While investigating the pros and cons of manual ctor and IoC based dependency injection in go I looked at several IoC solutions:

• karlkfi/inject
• facebookgo/inject

Although I’m veteran Pythonista I felt a little bit stuck with the complexity and the missing reactive designs of Nikola with which I started my blog. Digging more into the Go ecosystem I stumpled across Hugo and played around for a night, and with my limited number of existing posts swichting was easily done.

This post refers to the handling of array configuration items as they exist in ASP.Net core Configuration since 1.0 up to now (RT 2.0.5, SDK 2.1.4). Example on how ASP.Net Core handles overwriting loaded array configuration when the later read config files contain less array entries than before.

The issue came up with trying to integrate parts of an existing Python3/Qt app (mikidown) into a Python2/Qt app. After minor standard issues, like exceptions and print functions, many strange errors with respect to QString and QVariant handling showed up. Searching for solution considering the different unicode string handling between Py2 & Py3 did not give any answers: the solution lay in the different PyQt4 API versions for the different Python versions.

This is my first post on GitHub pages. I will (hopefully) continue to post my development related activies, loosly associated with my repositories. Chris
