[WayBack] programming practices – Unwritten rules of rewriting another team member’s code – Software Engineering Stack Exchange
Especially the second answer has a nice set of follow-up questions to ask yourself when you are thinking about rewriting someone else’s code.
Some thoughts for the upcoming year (:

I’m monitoring quite a bunch of Windows machines with Zabbix.
One of the services I turn off for monitoring is ShellHWDetection as otherwise you get this notification often:
Service "ShellHWDetection" (Shell Hardware Detection) is not running (startup type automatic)
When it happens, it’s always when there is nobody logged on to the machine. But sometimes you do not get this message. I’ve not fully figured out the pattern well, but since the service is associated with auto-play of inserted CD/DVD/USB and other media, I don’t bother too much.

A while ago one of our machines threw an error 8E5E03FB while installing SP1 (KB976932) on Window 7 Home Premium.
This is what I used to recover from that (note that failed alone means it failed with the previous error code):
Performed 
chkdsk %SystemDrive% /F, rebooted, waited for any issues to get fixed (none were)sfc /scannow%SystemRoot%\Logs\CBS\CBS.log and found this entry:
CBS Failed call to CryptCATAdminAddCatalog. [HRESULT = 0x8e5e03fb - JET_errPageNotInitialized
0x80070057.0x80070490.Code B7. This was in the CBS.Log: Store corruption detected in function CCSDirectTransaaction::ShouldKeepAliveFromInstallmap on resource amd64_avast.vc140.crt_fcc99ee6193ebbca_14.0.24210.0_none_56aba0211ca246c2.0x80070490. This was in the CBS.Log: Failed to resolve package 'Package_2_for_KB2507938~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~6.1.1.4' [HRESULT = 0x80070490 - ERROR_NOT_FOUND].SFC /SCANNOW
SFCFix'Package_2_for_KB2507938~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~6.1.1.4': dism /online /remove-package /packagename:Package_2_for_KB2507938~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~6.1.1.40x80070490 entry is still Failed to resolve package 'Package_2_for_KB2507938~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~6.1.1.4' [HRESULT = 0x80070490 - ERROR_NOT_FOUND]wusa /uninstall /KB:2507938 -> failed indicating De update KB2507938 is niet op deze computer geïnstalleerd. (“The update KB2507938 is not installed on this computer.”)De update geldt niet voor uw computer. (“The update is not applicable to your computer”)SFC /SCANNOWSFCFixFRST64KB2507938%SystemRoot%\Logs\CBS:
%SystemRoot%\Logs\SFCFix:%SystemRoot%\Logs\FRST64:
So I asked this question: [WayBack] [Win7HomePremium] SP1 fails with 0x80070490 as KB2507938 is not fully present.
TL;DR: for English Windows 7 x64 you need [WayBack] https://download.microsoft.com/download/0/A/F/0AFB5316-3062-494A-AB78-7FB0D4461357/windows6.1-KB976932-X64.exe
Note that the download file naming is very confusing as you will see only the above 6 files from the below list (which is English, but similar for other languages):

Almost all pages at the Embarcadero DocWiki have an embedded product version in the URL or get redirected to one.
One of the notable exceptions is the [WayBack] Platform Status:
The following table shows supported platforms and operating systems for different RAD Studio versions.
A
*(star) sign next to an operating system indicates that there is a known issue with that operating system and a corresponding RAD Studio version.To see the workaround for that particular issue, click on the name of the operating system or scroll down to the appropriate section.
It got introduced in 2015 ([WayBack] New DocWiki RAD Studio, Delphi and C++Builder Platform Status Page – Community Blogs – Embarcadero Community) and is maintained at irregular intervals.
For some history: https://web.archive.org/web/*/http://docwiki.embarcadero.com/PlatformStatus/en/Main_Page

The 1990s are calling back: some people in the Polymer world now have realised that in order to be more productive, they need something like “wizzywid: wizzywid – what you see is what you deserve”.
It seems that the visual IDEs of the 1990s that so many from the web 2.0 era frowned upon are useful after all.
Reality check: if you write design tools for Polymer like that, then ensure they support proper refactoring. As that is the next step in the evolvement of your tool-chain.
Take a peak at IDE history, for example Delphi, Visual Basic, Visual C++, Visual Studio .NET, Blend, Visual Studio Code, JBuilder, Eclipse, NetBeans, and IntelliJ IDEA.

Based on eventviewer – View Shutdown Event Tracker logs under Windows Server 2008 R2 – Server Fault « The Wiert Corner – irregular stream of stuff, I’ve made similar filters for service stop/start events.
Works on translated systems:
PowerShell
Get-EventLog System | Where-Object {$_.EventID -eq "7036"} | ft Machinename, TimeWritten, UserName, EventID, Message -AutoSize -Wrap
Or on one line:
Get-EventLog System ^| Where-Object {$_.EventID -in "6005","6006","7000","7009","7036","7040","7042","7043","7045"} ^| ft Machinename, TimeWritten, UserName, EventID, Message -AutoSize -Wrap
Note the -In operator was introduced in PowerShell 3: [WayBack]
Source: PowerShell v3 – New -in Operator | Jonathan Medd’s Blog
I’ve adapted the custom view to include all these event IDs above (note some links have disappeared moving my notes to a blog post):
Other event IDs that might be relevant via [WayBack] Windows Server restart / shutdown history – Server Fault:
A more complete list of Windows Kernel related Event IDs is at [WayBack] rootkit.com/NETEVENT.H at master · bowlofstew/rootkit.com.
Steps for the custom view:
Open Event Viewer then
- Right click Custom Views
- Click Create Custom View
- Under the Filter tab
- Keep Logged as Any time
- Select all the Event level types (Critical, Warning, etc.)
- Choose by source = Service Control Manager, Service Control Manager Performance Diagnostic Provider
- Optionally; For Event ID under the Includes/Excludes Event IDs section enter 6005,6006,7000,7009,7036,7040,7042,7043,7045 for the Event ID
- Click Ok
- Enter a name like Shutdown Events and any description then
- Click Ok again to complete the custom event log.
Your new custom view should show up in the list of custom views with the correct filter applied.
