I found this stone game on the bank of the Ahr river somewhere behind the Ruland hotel in Altenahr around 50°30’58.8″N, 6°59’27.9″E.
Since I didn’t know what it was, I asked my G+ friends “:Anybody who knows what kind of game this is?” and got quick answers:
The game is thousands of years old and this stone will last for quite a while…

The original http://juniper.cluepon.net/index.php/Olive is gone, but the WayBack machine sitll has it: Olive – Juniper Clue
It describes how to install JUNOS on x86/x64 (or emulated) hardware.

Since I’m not that fast at updating List-Delphi-Installed-Packages.ps1 [WayBack] (which I should rename into something containing the word Version in it), here are some useful links to stay up-to-date:

Empty arrays are not used often as arrays usually are about the presence data, not about the absence.
Here are two ways based on the int data type in C# (the original [WayBack] examples [WayBack] are using string, but since string itself is also a kind of array…):
Specify a size of zero:
int[] a = new int[0];
Specify an empty initialisation:
int[] a = new int[] { };
Though many people think arrays are a thing of the past, I think it is one of the first generic types and have their place. For one, enumerating over arrays using foreach is a lot faster in many environments than enumerating over other data types. Another thing is that the fixed nature of arrays can be very beneficial in setting constraints.
That’s why I like the balanced view from Eric Lippert [WayBack] in Arrays considered somewhat harmful – Fabulous Adventures In Coding – Site Home – MSDN Blogs [WayBack]

If you see the error below when running brew update, then you bumped in a small brew glitch [WayBack]. The solution is usually to just run brew update again [WayBack] (thanks Ashley Willis [WayBack]) and it will likely run fine:
$ brew update /usr/local/Library/brew.sh: line 32: /usr/local/Library/ENV/scm/git: No such file or directory /usr/local/Library/brew.sh: line 32: /usr/local/Library/ENV/scm/git: No such file or directory /usr/local/Library/brew.sh: line 32: /usr/local/Library/ENV/scm/git: No such file or directory /usr/local/Library/brew.sh: line 32: /usr/local/Library/ENV/scm/git: No such file or directory /usr/local/Library/brew.sh: line 32: /usr/local/Library/ENV/scm/git: No such file or directory /usr/local/Library/brew.sh: line 32: /usr/local/Library/ENV/scm/git: No such file or directory /usr/local/Library/brew.sh: line 32: /usr/local/Library/ENV/scm/git: No such file or directory /usr/local/Library/brew.sh: line 32: /usr/local/Library/ENV/scm/git: No such file or directory /usr/local/Library/brew.sh: line 32: /usr/local/Library/ENV/scm/git: No such file or directory /usr/local/Library/brew.sh: line 32: /usr/local/Library/ENV/scm/git: No such file or directory /usr/local/Library/brew.sh: line 32: /usr/local/Library/ENV/scm/git: No such file or directory /usr/local/Library/brew.sh: line 32: /usr/local/Library/ENV/scm/git: No such file or directory /usr/local/Library/brew.sh: line 32: /usr/local/Library/ENV/scm/git: No such file or directory Error: update-report should not be called directly!

After yesterdays post on Testing and static methods don’t go well together, I read around on Source (kunststube [WayBack]) a bit more and found these very nice articles on encoding,Unicode and text:
Related on those, some other nice readings:
Notes on contents of the MAPPING directory: EASTASIA: This directory is obsolete. ETSI: ETSI GSM 03.38 7-bit default alphabet mapping. ISO8859: These are the mapping tables of the ISO 8859 series (1 - 16). OBSOLETE: Obsolete and unsupported mapping tables for historical and archival purposes only. VENDORS: Miscellaneous mapping tables for small codesets, typically provided by vendors. The majority of current, useful tables are here.

A while ago, testssl.sh [WayBack] needed Darwin binaries (for OS X): Supply Darwin binaries + install documentation · Issue #127 · drwetter/testssl.sh [WayBack]
So I created the small Bourne shell (sh) script below to deliver them.
It allows me to update these gists:
The build script itself is in a gist as well: https://gist.github.com/f4de3937630b87753133.git [WayBack]
It helped me to contribute to these testssl.sh issues:
Not all of these binaries are in https://github.com/drwetter/testssl.sh/tree/master/bin [WayBack] as it makes the testssl.sh repository too bloated. Some (including non-OSX builds made by others) are here:
Eventually the script might get merged into https://github.com/drwetter/testssl.sh/blob/master/utils/make-openssl.sh [WayBack] as there is a Darwin switch in this commit: https://github.com/drwetter/testssl.sh/commit/6efc3e90f52e5926b0853d3b2fb221b631dcf452 [WayBack]

From a while ago:
David Ratnasabapathy: The VIC-20 programmer’s manual was the best intro to programming I’ve ever read. I’d love to find a copy online, the new generation could use it.
+Isaac Kuo that book is wealth. I loved marginal explanations that expanded on the main text, it’s a tactic I use in my own class notes.
The manual was called Personal Computing on the VIC 20 and it is online! This is amazing! Ah, memories.

+Tomasz Machalski there’s a motherload here:

Including VIC-20 User’s Manual.pdf

and VIC-20 Programmer’s Reference Guide.pdf
