Procedural Programming: It’s Back? It Never Went Away – Kevlin Henney [ACCU 2018] – YouTube

Posted by jpluimers on 2018/05/09

If you haven’t been in the software development arena for the last 50 years, then watch this and learn all “modern” stuff has been around for ages:

Most if it comes from the era of Algol, make, AWK and the famous Structured Programming book (which is not about procedures, but about control flow).

So watch Procedural Programming: It’s Back? It Never Went Away – Kevlin Henney [ACCU 2018] – YouTube

Slide deck: Sideshare: Procedural Programming: It’s Back? It Never Went Away – Kevlin Henney [ACCU 2018]

Then read [WayBack] ISBN 9780122005503 – Structured Programming (A.P.I.C. studies in data processing, no. 8)

When a site creates way too many cookies, you get a “Bad Request – Request Too Long”

Posted by jpluimers on 2018/05/09

I a while ago, I had this error:

Bad Request – Request Too Long

HTTP Error 400. The size of the request headers is too long.

It happened because over time, Microsoft had managed to store 100+ cookies data locally, making the request some 8k in size. Which they could not handle.

Bad Request - Request Too Long HTTP Error 400. The size of the request headers is too long.

Bad Request – Request Too Long HTTP Error 400. The size of the request headers is too long.

I’m looking for 12V G4 LED bulbs with a 30mm maximum length (including pins),…

Posted by jpluimers on 2018/05/08

I’m still looking for 12V G4 LED bulbs with a 30mm maximum length (including pins), preferably:

  • dimmable
  • more than 1W power
  • wide angle
  • no flickering

I found near angle ones at https://www.calex.nl/product/LEDG4-1-5W-3000/ (see picture below).

The G+ link has a suggestion, but I’m looking for more options so I can compare.

How to create a folder that inherits its parent’s ACL, and then overrides part of it – The Old New Thing

Posted by jpluimers on 2018/05/08

create the directory without an explicit security descriptor and let the experts create it with the default security descriptor, which takes into account all the inheritance rules. And then modify the security descriptor post-creation to include the new ACE you want. Fortunately, MSDN has sample code for how to add an ACE to an existing security descriptor.

Containers, totally not a lightweight VM, and also not a hype.

Posted by jpluimers on 2018/05/08

If you start doing stuff with containers, be sure to read the below parts of a series “Containers, totally not a lightweight VM, and also not a hype.” by Kristian Köhntopp, Senior Scalability Engineer at Booking.com.

Be sure to read all the links below, including the comment threads as there is a wealth of information in them.

I’ve tried to summarise parts further below, but there is so much information in the links that you really should long read all the links.

Further reading, all by or via Kristian:

Windows Firewall: Block rules take precedence over Allow rules

Posted by jpluimers on 2018/05/07

Reminder to self for Windows Firewall: Block rules take precedence over Allow rules (see * below as actually it is even more complex); [WayBack] Firewall Rule Properties Page: General Tab has

Firewall rules are evaluated in the following order:

  1. Allow if secure with Override block rules selected in the Customize Allow if Secure Settings dialog box.
  2. Block the connection.
  3. Allow the connection.
  4. Default profile behavior (allow or block as specified on the applicable Profile tab of the Windows Firewall with Advanced Security Properties dialog box).

Within each category, rules are evaluated from the most specific to the least specific. A rule that specifies four criteria is selected over a rule that specifies only three criteria.

Which means that this will block TCP port 1024 traffic to bar.exe:

The Block rules are inserted by Windows if you click “Cancel” on a dialog like this (note the lowercase path, despite the application being at C:\Program Files (x86)\Foo\Bar.exe):
