fseventer is a great tool for investigating Mac OS X file system events. Like many low-level tools, it requires admin privileges.
This is apparent through the use of the tool “fseventer” which monitors what files on your hard drive are being accessed.

Adding relative links to screenshots in markdown files (like README.md) works way better at GitHub than on BitBucket:
For GitHub, this works, has documentation and various places with tips:
In fact it is a reason for some people to move public projects from Bitbucket to GitHub.
For private repositories that is different as GitHub charges for private repositories, but BitBucket has free private repositories.
Note: if you go the npm way, then you might want to have absolute URLs: Add images to readme.md in GitHub – Stack Overflow.

Now that DynamicDNS moved itself to a fully payed service, named it DynDns Pro, then renamed it Remote Access and limiting it to 30 hosts for USD 25 a year, I looked for alternatives, and noticed NO-IP.
I like it for a few reasons:
OK, last year, there was this Microsoft Legal Action and Controversy, but I think that is a once time thing (some people even argue that Microsoft wasn’t thinking), so I created the last script below in PowerShell.
A few open-source scripts to keep your NO-IP account happy (that also work on most other DDNS providers like Duck DNS):

A while ago, I posted [WayBack] the below StackOverflow answer. Recently a friend asked me about command-line parsing in Delphi, so here is the re-run:
Delphi contains a really nice unit called CommandParser with a [WayBack] TCommandParser class that does commandline parsing for you. Since it has [WayBack] virtually no documentation, here are a few things to get started. It works even in Delphi 2007.
I have a HiddenExecutable example at our open source bo repository.
Basically you:
THiddenExecuteSettings in the HiddenExecuteSettingsUnitTHiddenExecuteArguments in theTHiddenExecuteArgumentsUnit (in retrospect not such a good name) that contains an InitCommandLine method that sets up a TCommandParser instance passing it your TComponenth and help)TCommandParser instance to process the commandline and fill the properties of your TComponent (in my example, this is done in the ProcessCommandLine method).Now comes the fun:
HelpText method that fully automatically assembles a helptext based upon what you fed it with the AddSwitch methods.SaveOptions method that allows you to save the current settings of your TComponent into a settings file.The Delphi units you need are these which you can get from the Embarcadero [WayBack] radstudiodemos.sourceforge.net demo repository:
CommandParser in '...\radstudiodemos.sourceforge.net\branches\RadStudio_XE2\Delphi\Database\dbExpress\Utils\CommandParser.pas',
PropertyHelpers in '...\radstudiodemos.sourceforge.net\branches\RadStudio_XE2\Delphi\Database\dbExpress\DbxDataPump\PropertyHelpers.pas',
ParseIds in '...\radstudiodemos.sourceforge.net\branches\RadStudio_XE2\Delphi\Database\dbExpress\DbxDataPump\ParseIds.pas',Edit: [WayBack] John Kaster wrote a nice [WayBack] article on EDN that includes [WayBack] more details on using the TCommandParser.
Note the above mentioned code mostly is on [WayBack] https://bitbucket.org/jeroenp/wiert.me/src/tip/Native/Delphi/Apps/Console/HiddenExecuteConsoleProject
Since Delphi XE7, this unit does not ship with Delphi any more, but it is still at [WayBack] RAD Studio Demo Code / Code / [r2029] /branches/RadStudio_XE6/Object Pascal/Database/dbExpress/Utils/CommandParser.pas.
