Errors in a PowerShell script can prevent successful execution. Implementing try-catch blocks enables error management and response. This post covers try/catch basics and how to handle custom error messages in PowerShell. Effective error handling saves troubleshooting time and improves user experience. PowerShell offers robust options for exception management with try, catch, and finally blocks. Learn to use try-catch for graceful error handling and to add custom error messages for enhanced feedback. Why Use Exception Handling in PowerShell? Scripts can fail for many reasons: missing files, invalid input, or network issues, to name a few. With exception handling, you can capture these issues, inform users in a friendly way, and potentially recover from errors without crashing your script. Using try-catch, you can: Catch specific errors.
Display user-friendly messages.
Log errors for debugging. Syntax overview of Try/Catch Like similar in other programming languages, the try-catch block syntax is very simple and syntax will be the same. It is framed with two sections enclosed in curly brackets (the first block is a try and the second is the catch block). try { 

#Functionality within try block 

} 

catch 

{ 

#Action to do with errors 

} The main purpose of using the try-catch block, we can start to manipulate the error output and make it more friendly for the user. Example 1: After executing the below script, the below error will be shown on the screen as output and it would occupy some space and the problem may not be immediately visible to the User. So you can use a try-catch block to manipulate the error output and make it more friendly. without Try-Catch block Get-content -Path “C:\dotnet-helpers\BLOG\TestFiled.txt” with Try Catch block In the below script, we added the ErrorAction parameter with a value of Stop to the command. Not all errors are considered “terminating”, so sometimes we need to add this bit of code in order to properly terminate into the catch block. try {

Get-content -Path “C:\dotnet-helpers\BLOG\TestFile.txt” -ErrorAction Stop

}

catch { 

Write-Warning -Message “Can’t read the file, seem there is an issue”

} Example 2: Using the $Error Variable To improve the code and follow best practices, consider the following improvements: Use More Descriptive Error Messages: When handling errors, it's useful to log or display meaningful error messages rather than generic ones. If you mention a custom message, ensure it provides useful information to the user.
Avoid Hardcoding Indexes: Instead of hardcoding the index to access $Error[0], consider using .First() for better readability and understanding of what exactly you're accessing (especially in PowerShell). Here's a refined version of how you might handle errors using $Error: try{
 
Get-content -Path "G:\dotnet-helpers\BLOG\TestFiled.txt" -ErrorAction Stop
}
# It will execute if a specific file is not found in a specific Directory
Catch [System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException] {
 
Write-Warning -Message "Can't read the file, seems there is an issue"
Write-Warning $Error[0]
}
# It will execute if the specified driver is not found in the specified path
Catch [System.Management.Automation.DriveNotFoundException]{
Write-Warning -Message "Custom Message: Specific driver is not found"
Write-Warning $Error[0]
 
}
#Execute for Un-Handled exception - This catch block will run if the error does not match any other catch block exception.
Catch{
Write-Warning -Message "Oops, An un-expected Error Occurred"
#It will return the exception message for the last error that occurred.
Write-host $Error[0].Exception.GetType().FullName

With the exponential growth of stablecoins in 2024, it's safe to say that RWA tokenization is the next big thing. According to RWA.xyz, stablecoins recorded a massive 3800% growth between 2020 and 2024, surging from $4 billion to over $156 billion and bringing its total RWA market share to over 90%. This article provides fresh insights into the state of RWA tokenization in 2024, focusing on the growth statistics, its key players, market predictions and emerging trends. State of RWA in brief The brave new world of RWA tokenization has attracted significant attention in traditional finance where–according to a recent survey by Tokenized Assets Coalition–about 86% of Fortune 500 executives recognize its potential benefits. Moreover, there has been a consistent institutional narrative about its projected growth, with leading market analysts estimating trillions of dollars of tokenized assets by 2030. RWA tokenization has recently emerged as a fast growing trend with the potential to shape the global investment landscape, thanks to the surging stablecoin volume and a fast paced institutional adoption. While payment stablecoin is leading the charge, real estate is the sleeping giant of RWA tokenization. Other use cases such as treasury bonds, private credits, commodities and stocks add significantly to the industry’s trillions of dollars worth of total addressable markets. RWA Tokenization Growth The growth pattern of RWA tokenization has inspired an interesting narrative about its huge potential. According to the recent report by Tokenized Assets Coalition, the current market size of tokenized assets is valued at $186 billion with a 32% year-to-date increase and over 150 tokenized asset issuers around the globe. Based on a sector specific analysis, stablecoin is responsible for a large percentage of the growth of the RWA total market size, while others sectors such as real estate, commodities(ie gold, silver, etc), and treasury bonds,  have not only gained significant traction but have also shown tremendous growth potential as well. For instance, the tokenized real estate market is poised to experience a rapid growth in the years ahead as it continues to attract significant attention from traditional institutions lured by its potential to usher in liquidity and open up access to retail investors globally. According to Block square, the tokenized real estate sector is estimated to reach $26 billion by 2034. Furthermore, there are some other notable events that point to the growth and mainstream recognition of the RWA tokenization. These include MakerDOA's $1 billion investment in tokenized US treasuries, Goldman Sachs’s RWA tokenization projects, BlackRock's investment in US treasuries through its $500 million BUIDL fund, PricewaterhouseCoopers’ 2024 RWA Tokenization cohort and the US tokenized treasures reaching a $1 billion milestone. Most importantly, the growth of RWA tokenization is very much tied to the increasing role of payment stablecoin in traditional finance as evident in its ability to bring about instant settlement and low fees.  The billion dollar moves by key players such as Goldman Sachs, MakerDAO, Ripple, Coinbase, BlackRock, etc. also contribute to the growth trajectory and future outlook. Key Institutional Players There is a growing list of key institutional players that are genuinely interested in RWA tokenization’s potential to shape the global investment landscape. According to a recent Coinbase report, 35% of Fortune 500 companies are gravitating towards tokenization projects. Below are some of the key players shaping the future of tokenized assets: BlackRock World's largest asset manager, BlackRock, announced its foray into RWA tokenization through its BUIDL fund. A significant investment in the US tokenized treasuries. Now worth over $600 million, BlackRock's BUIDL fund allows investors to invest in tokenized US treasuries, which is a game changer for fund management and the institutional adoption of blockchain technology. MakerDAO MakerDAO is the company behind DAI, an overcollateralized stablecoin, and a key player in the RWA space. It recently announced a $1 billion investment in the US tokenized treasuries. Goldman Sachs As a leading investment bank, Goldman Sachs has demonstrated a visionary leadership financial innovation through its proposed tokenization of institutional-grade assets targeting the US and EU markets. It seeks to provide  institutional clients with investment options in tokenized securities, real estate and commodities. Coinbase As a leading crypto exchange, Coinbase is spearheading a major foray into RWA tokenization. It recently entered a partnership with eNor Securities to offer tokenized assets to retail investors in Latin America, as part of its broader expansion strategy in the region. Market Predictions Market predictions are consistently estimating trillions of dollars of tokenized assets by 2030 and beyond. In a recent report by the Tokenized Assets Coalition (TAC), Mckinsey & Company, Boston Consulting Group(BCG) and Citibank predicted that there will be $2, $16 and $5 Trillion worth of tokenized assets by 2030, while Standard Chartered estimated that the total market size will grow to $30 Trillion by 2034. Latest Development: Brickken Partners With BNB Chain For RWA Tokenization Brickken, a leading RWA tokenization company, recently announced its collaboration with BNB Chain. This makes Brickken an official provider of RWA tokenization services within the BNB ecosystem. Brickken has  continued to record giant strides in the RWA space. In May, it was selected as one of the 11 participants of PricewaterhouseCoopers’ RWA Tokenization Cohort – out of 700 applicants . The partnership with BNB Chain, one of the leading blockchains, will allow it to leverage BNB’s while taking maximum advantage of its low transaction costs, high scalability and to provide secure, cost effective solutions to investors and businesses seeking to tokenize real world assets on the protocol's platform. Additionally, BNB Chain's vast DeFi ecosystem consisting of decentralised applications provides Brickken with market access thus increasing liquidity by opening up access to both retail and institutional investors. Following the announcement, Brickken was chosen by Hydrokken, a clean energy tokenization project, to tokenize its shares in natural hydrogen amplifying the potential of RWA tokenization in driving clean energy initiative. Conclusion: Real world asset(RWA) tokenization offers new ways to invest in real-world assets like real estate, commodities, and government bonds. Stablecoin has emerged as the leading use case for RWA tokenization, controlling over 90% of the total market share. Other sectors in the RWA space such as real estate, commodities, and tokenised treasuries have continued to attract significant attention, especially from traditional institutional like Goldman Sachs and BlackRock, which recently announced their foray into the brave new world of RWA tokenization.

How to Make Your Social Media Bio Catchy and Memorable With ChatGPT

All You Need To Know About Try Catch in C#

As the very first crypto, Bitcoin was designed to encourage financial equality - it was a way to make online payments from one party to another without needing a ‘third party’, and it gave anyone with internet access a chance to participate in the financial ecosystem. But for all of the industry’s meteoric growth, optimism, and progress - this isn’t enjoyed by everyone and crypto is still in catch-up mode when it comes to inclusivity In this post, Janine Grainger - Founder and CEO of Easy Crypto - shares three fundamentals the industry needs to focus on if we stand a chance of delivering on crypto’s original vision… #1 Radical Representation - Diversity Starts at the ‘Top’ Although the crypto industry is gradually embracing diversity, we have to remember that the space itself was born from two very male-dominated industries: finance and technology. Late last year, a of 50 prominent crypto and blockchain firms revealed that women hold just 6 percent of CEO positions, painting what it called a ‘disheartening picture’ of underrepresentation. study Unsurprisingly - this has affected both product design and who (and how) products are marketed to industry-wide. Unsurprisingly, a large percentage of women are ‘crypto curious’; but ultimately, hesitant to participate because it feels like a ‘boy’s club.’ But as one of the industries that has been arguably the slowest to respond to a call for diversity, there’s the impetus to be the most radical about change - including leadership appointments and creating work environments in which all types of talent can flourish. We need companies to go ‘all in’ on hiring female talent, and to be unapologetic about doing so. Companies need to commit to gender diversity and send a strong message about inclusivity and equality. This will foster an environment where diverse perspectives can shape the company's future, from product development to strategic direction. #2 Education and Empowerment - Giving Everyone the Confidence they Need to Invest With more and more women starting to take responsibility for their own financial freedom, the industry’s focus needs to be on empowering everyone to become an investor easily (within minutes) in alternative assets, with the understanding and confidence to do so. By providing users with the knowledge and confidence to navigate the crypto space, innovators are breaking down barriers and encouraging more women to participate in the financial revolution. Driving education and information at every step of the process for those who use their platform builds confidence and ultimately, platform loyalty. #3 Product Innovation - Recognizing the Need for Tailored Products Although there is now much wider recognition that crypto investors aren't all young, hoodie-wearing Silicon Valley males who mine Bitcoin from their basements, a lot of products out there still cater to this demographic and have limited the industry's appeal to a broader audience. To counter this, smart companies are focusing on products that address some of the key concerns associated with the crypto industry. This includes user-friendly wallets designed to make the digital world as accessible as traditional apps - with an emphasis on security alongside user-friendly features that do away with complexities such as seed phrases. In addition, a new breed of stablecoin marries the trustworthiness of traditional fiat assets with the benefits of blockchain (without the volatility). These stablecoins provide an easy ‘on-ramp’ to the world of crypto, facilitating instant, low-cost, global, and programmable payments and will become a catalyst for greater crypto adoption and the digitization of financial products and services. Importantly, improving representation, education, empowerment, and product innovation is work that needs to happen day in and day out. Beyond Women’s Day, these focuses must become intrinsic to how the industry operates if it wants to support meaningful change. If not, we risk not delivering on the full potential of crypto for a large portion of society.

Crypto Is In ‘Catch-Up’ Mode When It Comes to Inclusivity

Okay, be honest – you've seen the phrase plastered all over the internet. It's like this weird battle cry for those of us who spend way too much time online. But did you ever stop to think about where it actually came from? Get ready for a nostalgic trip because I'm about to take you down memory lane! "Do a Barrel Roll!" My love affair with Star Fox 64 Back in 1997, I was obsessed with . I don't mean your run-of-the-mill kid obsession; I mean full-blown "this is all I think about" kind of mania. Those space battles, the crazy characters, and, of course, the voice commands! Peppy Hare, Fox McCloud's slightly overprotective wingman, had this way of shouting advice you couldn't quite ignore. Even in the heat of battle, his one-liners made me grin. Star Fox 64 But none of those were line. You know what I'm talking about. When things got dicey when enemies swarmed, Peppy would bellow in glorious desperation: Honestly, at the time, it was just a quick way to dodge out of trouble. But oh boy, did that phrase stick with me. the "Do a Barrel Roll!" A meme is born (and I have no idea how) Years later, I'm not even sure when the internet exploded with I was shocked, amazed, and weirdly proud. Turns out, I wasn't the only one who remembered Peppy's panicked yells. Message boards lit up, people shared images, and, of course, . It felt like this secret inside joke from my childhood had suddenly burst into the mainstream. "Do a Barrel Roll!" memes were absolutely everywhere Google knows a good meme when it sees one. Even Google decided to have a bit of fun! For a while now, if you typed " " into the search bar, the whole dang page would actually spin around. How cool is that? It's like this little bit of nostalgia hidden in the code, just waiting for fans to get a kick out of it. Do a Barrel Roll The thing about memes... It's weird how "Do a Barrel Roll" went from this throwaway line to a full-on internet phenomenon. But that's just how memes work, right? They latch onto our sense of humor, our weird shared experiences, and the simple things we love. video game Barrel Roll Mania: Beyond just memes The influence of this meme didn't stop at message boards and image macros. "Do a Barrel Roll!" has a way of sneaking into all corners of pop culture. Who can resist a good ol' barrel roll, right? And the folks behind Star Fox didn't forget their roots, either. In Star Fox Zero, way back in 2016, good ol' Peppy still hollers "Barrel Roll!" every time he gets those maneuvers going. It's heartwarming to see that they acknowledge the impact the game had. The "Do a Barrel Roll!" spirit pops up in the most unexpected places, too. Remember ? At one point, you're straight-up ordered to "do a barrel roll" in the middle of the chaos. Plus, in the 2022 reboot of Saints Row, they have an achievement called which means, you guessed it – more barrel rolls! It might not be a direct shout-out to Star Fox, but you can't convince me it wasn't at least a little wink and a nod at the classic meme. Saints Row IV "The Spins," And, sometimes, a flying bunny yelling a space pilot command is all it takes to create something awesome and enduring. I mean, at least that's what my younger self would have thought!

The United States v Meta Platforms Court Filing October 24, 2023 is part of . You can jump to any part in this filing . This is part 16 of 100. HackerNoon’s Legal PDF Series here 2. Meta prioritizes maximizing engagement over young users’ safety. 134. Meta denies that it seeks to maximize young users’ engagement on its Social Media Platforms. 135-136. [Redacted] 137. Zuckerberg stated to Congress on March 25, 2021, that “it is a common misconception that our teams—our goals, or even have goals, of trying to increase the amount of time that people spend” and “I don’t give our News Feed team or our Instagram team goals around increasing the amount of time that people spend.” 138. Meta has also claimed, in a statement published by Gizmodo on October 3, 2021, to “do internal research to ask hard questions and find out how we can best improve the experience for teens.” 139. These representations were false and misleading. Contrary to Meta’s public statements, one of Meta’s key goals is to induce young users to spend ever-increasing amounts of time on its Social Media Platforms. 140-150. [Redacted] 150. Thus, notwithstanding Meta’s public representations to the contrary, increasing young users’ engagement was, and is, a core business objective for Meta. Continue Reading .

Meta's Catch-22: Balancing Digital Well-being and Increased User Engagement 

Github Motion to dismiss Court Filing, retrieved on January 26, 2023 is part of . You can jump to any part in this filing . This part is 11 of 26. HackerNoon’s Legal PDF Series here ARGUMENT II. PLAINTIFFS FAIL TO STATE A DMCA CLAIM. B. Count I Impermissibly Lumps Together Multiple Defendants, Claims, And Theories Of Liability. Plaintiffs cannot get around Stevens, but in any event the “failure to allege what role each Defendant played in the alleged harm makes it exceedingly difficult, if not impossible, for individual Defendants to respond to [the] allegations.” In re iPhone Application Litig., No. 11- MD-02250, 2011 WL 4403963, at *8 (N.D. Cal. Sept. 20, 2011). Such a pleading therefore does not satisfy Rule 8(a). Id.; see Destfino v. Reiswig, 630 F.3d 952, 958-59 (9th Cir. 2011) (affirming dismissal of “shotgun pleading”). Count I is a textbook example of this problem. It is alleged against “All Defendants.” Over the course of a nearly 30-paragraph thicket of assertions, Plaintiffs appear to claim violation of all five of the statute’s prohibitions. Compl. ¶¶ 142-71. They also purport, by parenthetical under the title of “COUNT I,” to advance “(Direct, Vicarious, and Contributory)” theories of liability. Id. at 34. No allegation is specific to either GitHub or Microsoft. Nothing elsewhere in the Complaint explains what any particular Defendant is supposed to have done. This defect is worst with respect to Microsoft. Plaintiffs allege that Microsoft owns GitHub and is an investor in OpenAI. Compl. ¶¶ 5-7. But it is basic corporate law that absent some disregard of corporate formalities, Microsoft cannot be held liable as a corporate parent or shareholder. See United States v. Bestfoods, 524 U.S. 51, 61 (1998). As for Microsoft’s subsidiary GitHub, there is no explanation of what GitHub supposedly did with respect to the alteration or removal of CMI. And since there is no allegation suggesting that GitHub or Microsoft engaged in primary conduct involving CMI, Plaintiffs presumably mean to sweep them in with the “vicarious” and “contributory” labels. But § 1202 does not provide for such theories of liability on its face, and it is doubtful that the Ninth Circuit would find § 1202’s doublescienter requirement compatible with theories of secondary liability. Cf. Petroliam Nasional Berhad v. GoDaddy.com, Inc., 737 F.3d 546 (9th Cir. 2013) (refusing extra-statutory contributory liability theory under anti-cybersquatting statute in part because of “bad faith” requirement). Plaintiffs are claiming entitlement to statutory damages of over $9 billion for their § 1202 claims. Compl. at 52 n.42. Defendants cannot properly address these claims without knowing what Plaintiffs say each Defendant did to violate the statute. Continue Reading .
