I already liked the 7 minute C#6 video from last year. This is even better.

Often I want to execute a TF.exe from the console, but don’t have the Visual Studio environment variables setup. Most of the times I want to run TF.exe from the most current Visual Studio installation, hence this TF.bat file figures out the location of it, then runs with the parameters passed to TF.bat: Read the rest of this entry »

Front-end web development isn’t my core area of expertise, but every now and then I am slightly more than the usual spectator and do get involved.
This case it was about helping to prevent The Clickjacking attack by using the The X-Frame-Options response header from RFC 7034.
Lots of people seem to have questions about it: Highest Voted ‘x-frame-options’ Questions – Stack Overflow.
So, from The X-Frame-Options response header:
There are three possible values for X-Frame-Options:
DENY- The page cannot be displayed in a frame, regardless of the site attempting to do so.
SAMEORIGIN- The page can only be displayed in a frame on the same origin as the page itself.
ALLOW-FROM uri- The page can only be displayed in a frame on the specified origin.

Stefan Glienke started some interesting demographics polls on the G+ Delphi community.
Demographics are about group members that actually voted. Which might rule out Delphi programmers not writing English well.
Despite that, I think it actually tells a lot, especially when you read the comments as well.
And it made DavidI provide some background on the geographic distribution: Where in the world are programmers using Delphi? – Blogs.

The CRC algorithm isn’t hard, but choosing the right polynomial and parameters can be tricky especially since there are so many permutations to choose from and lots of libraries have made their own (often incompatible) choices.

Edit 20210727:
- A lot of the links below have died due to link rot (sometimes even the domains have gone), but most of the WayBack machine links marked [Wayback] still work.
- The same stop [Wayback] stop
0x0000007Bcan happen when converting a physical machine to VMware (I will schedule a separate post about this):Windows XP Virtual Machine failing with stop 0x0000007B
Steps:
0x0000007B (usually because of SATA/AHCI/IDE or other MassStorage controller driver issues), then read [Wayback] Jon’s Project Blog » disk2vhd using [Wayback] UBCD for Windows to solve the issue as there is no BIOS screen in Hyper-V that allows you to switch from AHCI to SATA and back.Some links that helped me get at these steps:

Interesting podcast:
Scott talks to Gina Häußge, creator of OctoPrint. In very short order OctoPrint has gone from a small side project to Gina’s full time open source job!
OctoPrint gives your 3D Printer:
- a camera,
- a print queue,
- visualizers,
- temperature control and
- much more!
Gina shares her journey in this Maker episode.
You can even request new features.

Boy, I wish I had read these PowerShell articles earlier:
Besides being in depth, the articles also contain a ton of examples all in this form:
| Action | Command | Example |
| Basic help for x | Get-Help cmd (cmd is a full name) | help Get-ChildItem |
| Help in separate window | Show-Command cmd; then select the help icon | Show-Command Get-ChildItem |
