Per docs, it seems it should be handled. Not sure if there is anything else needed.

As documented, it looks like you also need to specify a type.

The question is : what are the NET USE possible outputs?
You can drown yourself with websites explaining how to use NET USE command, but not a single one about what is coming out of it.
In my case I'm interested in the various error messages, and the interaction with the Powershell automatic variable $LASTEXITCODE. I want to handle its output correctly but I don't know what can even happen (and no, I won't use New-PSDrive).
Does someone knows the what or where I can find the information ?
Thanks
You can use the example in https://www.compatdb.org/forums/topic/20487-net-use-return-code/ to obtain a list of the numerical codes for your evaluation.
If you want to dig deeper take you need to download the Win32 SDK and go through the definitions in the header files (see https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/winnetwk/ns-winnetwk-netresourcea etc).
I'm creating some default "drag and drop" templates for our developers, and one section is the required tags. Most of the tags reference a variable: nice and easy. But one wants to reference the resource itself and I cannot figure out a way to it. Does anyone have any suggestions?
The tag itself is called "Context" and it's value should be the "type" of the resource it is in, e.g. "Microsoft.Web/serverfarms". This is desired to aid with billing. Obviously I could either create a different template per resource type (not ideal considering the number of different resources) or rely on the devs to update the field manually (not ideal either as relying on them to add the tags manually hasn't worked so far in a lot of cases), but I am trying to automate it.
Extrapolating from the [variables('< variablename >')] function I did try [resources('type')] but Azure complained that "resources is not a valid selection". I thought it might have complained that it couldn't tell which resource to look at, but it didn't get that far. Internet searches have not turned up anything useful so far.
I can't find a way to do this cleanly either (I hope someone corrects me though! This is a topic for us too). The reference and resourceId functions look promising, but both are unavailable inside of the resources block, would require some parsing, and also require the api version, which you probably also need to vary by resource and so you're just back to where you started. ARM won't even let you use a variable for the resource type property(probably a good thing), so that option is out too.
As such, you'll either have to live with your team having to replace that chunk of text manually or pursue some alternative.
The simplest thing that comes to mind would be to write a script in a language that understands JSON. That script reads the template, adds the tag to the resource, then saves the template again.
A similar approach would be to do it after the resources are deployed by writing a script that loops through all resources and making sure they have the tag. You can use automation to schedule this on a regular basis if you're concerned about it being missed. If you're deploying the templates using a script, you could add it in that script too.
There's some things you probably do with nested templates, but you probably wouldn't be making anyone's life easier or making the process more reliable.
This could be achievable potentially through some powershell specifically around Resource and Resource Group. Would need to run a Get-AzResource either at the subscription or potentially just the resource group level. Then pull the ResourceType field from the object return and use a Set-AzResource command passing in the ResourceID from above and the new tag mapped to the returnedResourceType field.
Nowadays, we always think like "send your data to a server, it computes it for you, then send you back the response".
But imagine something else : i want my client to compute the data itself.
The question is : is there something like a universal protocol to send actions rather than data through http ? So that the server can send the action to the client, whatever system it uses. If it does not exist, what are the technical difficulties you can face creating this kind of system ?
I'm talking about "static" actions, like mathematical functions for example.
You're unfortunately going to run into a problem pretty quick because, technically speaking, a universal language is impossible. Systems are going to have different architecture, different languages available, and different storage means. I believe what you intend (correct me if I'm wrong) is a "widespread" protocol. One way or another, you're going to have to drill down based on your personal use-case.
For a widespread example, you could keep a set of JavaScript files with functions server-side, and refer a web client to the one they need to run it by loading a javascript file during some event. Pass the location of the file and the function name, load it using the link above, then call the JavaScript function by name to run it. I could see this being an admitedly somewhat roundabout solution. This also may work in Java due to its built in JavaScript engine, although I haven't tested it.
Beyond that, I am unaware of anything particularly widespread. Most applications limit what they accept as instructions quite strictly to prevent security breaches (Imagine a SQL Injection that can run free on a client's machine). In fact, JavaScript limits itself quite severely, perhaps most notably in regards to local file reading.
Hopefully this helps with your ideas. Let me know in a comment if you have any questions/issues about what I've said.
When I run some commands, like certain scripts or Makefiles, a number of files and folders are generated along the way to the final output. (For the moment, let's not go into whether or not the script should tidy up after itself. Sometimes this might be a good idea, sometimes not.) What term describes these files?
(I know what I mean when I say "cruft", but I don't think this is necessarily clear, and it could come off as colloquial, which is not what I'm aiming for.)
A common term seems to be "intermediate files"; maybe you could say "intermediate build artefacts" if they are not necessarily just files.
CruiseControl refers to them as Artifacts at least.
I would just refer to them as ~TempFiles generated by your scripts.
In my first experiences with Google Scripts, I'm trying to define a function that call a Browser.input method to get a user name.
But I always get the following error message:
It is not permitted to call Browser.inputBox() from this context.
(I must say that i've translated it from the portuguese environment, for the case there is a different expression for it in english).
I'd appreciate if someone could advise me. Thanks.
Browser.inputBox() can only be used from a script running from a spreadsheet. Once you use a Ui (with UiApp or GUI builder or HTML service) you can't use these Browser methods.
The only situation in wich they can be combined is when you show(app) from a spreadsheet script but then the Browser call will close the UI immediately.
This seems quite logical since they are in a way Ui themselves...
By the way, you say in your comment that you are updating your question with some code but I see nothing ? Is it normal ?
EDIT : to answer your comment, there are many ways to interact with users... something that is quite similar to Browser.message is the popup example proposed by Waqar Ahmad recently.
As for your second point : where to find such information... well I guess I've read about everything that can be read on the subject for quite a moment now.... I'm not sure where that particular aspect is described, sorry about that. If you read Google documentation about Ui I'm pretty sure you'll find something about that. (maybe someone from the team could help me on that point ? ;-)
