Somewhere in Q4 2018 (actual year, not fiscal year) when .NET Core 2.2 gets released, but you can tinker with it right now: [WayBack] A command-line REPL for RESTful HTTP Services – Scott Hanselman.
Release estimates at [WayBack] core/roadmap.md at master · dotnet/core · GitHub.

Interesting read: [WayBack] Down on the Upside – Kevlin Henney – Medium
Abstraction is a question of less over more. But is it also a question of high over low?
What developers call abstraction, is not the abstraction end-users mean. Being aware of that makes software development life a whole lot easier.

Answering [WayBack] delphi – post-build event with multiple if/copy combinations only execute if first file does not exist – Stack Overflow made me do a quick search for parentheses handling in batch files. TL;DR: it is a mess.
But it reveals some interesting links:

Due some issues in Windows, every now and then the Windows TEMP directory gets huge.
This script helps measuring the recursive size of that folder:
$WindowPath = [System.Environment]::GetFolderPath([System.Environment+SpecialFolder]::Windows)
$WindowTempPath = Join-Path -Path $WindowPath -ChildPath "TEMP"
$Result = Get-ChildItem $WindowTempPath -Recurse | Measure-Object -Property Length -Sum
$RecursiveSumInBytes = $Result.Sum
Write-Host "$RecursiveSumInBytes"
It uses these tricks:
Length property of each Child-Item to determine their Sum.After this, cleaning up uses two more tricks:
Recurse option of [WayBack] Remove-Item will remove both files and directories having filesFullName property of the Get-Item enumeration $_ as otherwise you get the short name and Remove-Item will trying to delete those in the current directory (see [WayBack] PowerShell: Enumerate Files recursive and get full path for each file « Microsoft « ..::\ www.christiano.ch //::..).
$WindowPath = [System.Environment]::GetFolderPath([System.Environment+SpecialFolder]::Windows)
$WindowTempPath = Join-Path -Path $WindowPath -ChildPath "TEMP"
Get-ChildItem $WindowTempPath -Recurse | foreach { Remove-Item $_.FullName -Recurse }

An interesting question at [WayBack] Previously i have not been big on IDE plugins.So i’m blatantly asking for pointers on the following, i.e. is there already such beasts? Or maybe i’m i… – Dany Marmur – Google+:
… asking for pointers on the following…
Crtl+C – create implementations in the same order as the interface section?
Ctrl+C – adjust the signature of the method the cursor is on interface if implementation and vice versa.I realise they can both be very tricky to implement. Second function might not be able to handle overloads.
From that thread, a few things you might want to try:

[WayBack] xkcd: Free Speech is worth repeating every now and then:
Title text: I can’t remember where I heard this, but someone once said that defending a position by citing free speech is sort of the ultimate concession; you’re saying that the most compelling thing you can say for your position is that it’s not literally illegal to express.
Transcript
- Cueball: Public Service Announcement: The Right to Free Speech means the government can’t arrest you for what you say.
- Cueball: It doesn’t mean that anyone else has to listen to your bullshit, or host you while you share it.
- Cueball: The 1st Amendment doesn’t shield you from criticism or consequences.
- Cueball: If you’re yelled at, boycotted, have your show canceled, or get banned from an Internet community, your free speech rights aren’t being violated.
- Cueball: It’s just that the people listening think you’re an asshole,
- [A picture of a partially open door is displayed.]
- Cueball: And they’re showing you the door.
Be sure to read [WayBack] 1357: Free Speech – explain xkcd too.

Today’s internet day anniversary only started in 2005. But the networks leading to the internet are a lot older and date as far back as the late 1960s. In fact [WayBack] Internet Day, October 29th refers to the first ARPA network communication taking place in 1969.
About two years ago, David Newbury published this piece of history from 1973: a map of the ARPA network (later called ARPANET).
[WayBack] David Newbury: “Going through old papers my dad gave me, I found his map of the internet as of May 1973. The entire internet. https://t.co/0krvYoRGav”
The resulting thread has loads of more interesting pictures which I tried to save in the Wayback Machine as not even Wikipedia seems to have them.
It also includes a discussion on the meaning of the zig-zag line to Hawaii, the connection to London (UK that is, not USA) later that year and even earlier state of the late 1960s.
Worth reading (:
Here are some references to messages and links from the Twitter thread:
