Fix “UTF8” encoding “WIN1252” CPutf8 PostgreSQL Windows 10

Today I found very weird errors when importing database from Ubuntu to Windows 10 (Chinese language / locale). It’s showing multiple errors start from

locale "English_United States.utf8": codeset is "CPutf8"
Character with encoding UTF8 has no equivalent in WIN1252
ERROR: character with byte sequence 0xe9 0x94 0x99 in encoding "UTF8" has no equivalent in encoding "WIN1252"
character with byte sequence 0xe9 0x94 0x99 in encoding "UTF8" has no equivalent in encoding "WIN1252"

This errors occur because the collate and ctype on current OS have different type than from another database (which is UTF8).

Windows 10 Software Term Mandarin Chinese English – Part 1

I have changed all my Windows 10 language to Mandarin as part of practicing “普通话”. It’s very hard for me to find databases that show the software or desktop translation from Chinese to English. This is including common software like Words, Excel, Teams Chat, Outlook, and Calendar.

Here is part one in which you can learn :

Convert slices into String in Rust

I found it hard to find a single article to explain how to convert or merge slices to string in Rust. Here is an example of how to do it:

let row_content = &row.iter().map(|highscore| highscore.to_string()).collect::>().join(",");

I hope this helps someone who wants to concatenate slices/list in Rust into delimiter comma-separated string or only space.

Install Rust Diesel in Windows 10 and Fix Issue

Installing Diesel CLI in Windows 10 can be troublesome sometimes. When I did execute this command “cargo install diesel_cli –no-default-features –features postgres” and receive error message:

note: Non-UTF-8 output: LINK : fatal error LNK1181:error: linking with `link.exe` failed: exit code: 1181

I have tried to debug it with the various approach by:

So, I did reset my Windows 10 language and downloaded the gigantic Microsoft Visual Studio 2019 with “VC++ 2015.3 v14.00 (v140) toolset for desktop”. I did re-install rust with the hope it will solve the issue.

None of the above is works until I found someone wrote an article on how to install Diesel in Windows 10 and enable it’s CLI with the help of setup the local variable PATH.

Simple upload file local Phoenix Elixir

There is a lack of information on how to do simple upload form in Phoenix Framework and store file into local storage. Although people recommend using Plug or external libraries, sometimes is useful to understand how essential thing work like upload image or PDF can be done using few Elixir scripts.

In this tutorial, I’m using an example of Hello project from Phoenix’s installation guideline. If you don’t have the project yet, please set-up by yourself since this tutorial does not cover it.

In the beginning, let write a path to access the upload page in the router, “lib/hello_web/router.ex”. Let use “upload” as the access path

  scope "/", HelloWeb do
    pipe_through :browser

    get "/", PageController, :index
    resources "/upload", UploadController, only: [:index, :create]
  end

Phoenix Elixir Installation in Windows 10

Here is the full guide on how to set up and install the latest Phoenix Web Framework and Elixir in Windows 10. In this case, I’m using Windows 10 as my day to day software development environment. Please follow the steps below:

In summary, to build a new Phoenix application, we will need to install a few software :

  • the Erlang VM and the Elixir programming language
  • PostgreSQL as default preferable database
  • Node.JS for assets – which can be opt-out, especially if you are building APIs
  • Phoenix Framework
  • Cmder (my favorite terminal in Windows)
