This and built-in markdown support made the switch to Visual Studio code from Atom.io so much easier: [WayBack] PlantUML – Visual Studio Marketplace.
Atom.io was already on my list of tools to say good bye to: though a good project to show the versatility of the Electron Framework, over time – like Google Chrome – it had become a memory and CPU hog and a drag to use and update.
Integrating debuggers and other parts of the development life cycle involved too much fuzz, for which Visual Studio code (also known as vscode) was much easier from the start.
Probably Visual Studio code did not suffer from what the Dutch call Law of the handicap of a head start: it is much more responsive and versatile than Atom.io. Also the plugins – despite having come to the market later – feel way more mature in Visual Studio code than Atom.io.
Finally, the PlantUML support extension for vscode is so much nicer than in Atom.io, it for instance supports live updating and in addition to local rendering, rendering through a PlantUML server (see [WayBack] GitHub – plantuml/plantuml-server: PlantUML Online Server).
Source code is at [WayBack] GitHub – qjebbs/vscode-plantuml: Rich PlantUML support for Visual Studio Code.

For a project I’m going to be in need to compare version numbers.
I’m not sure yet if I need wildcards, or can leave them out (but for partial semantic versioning, I might need them).
Below a bunch of links that should get me started.
From a quick glance: versioning is hard, comparing even harder.
On versioning in general
Numeric versioning (usually without wildcards):
On semantic versioning (SemVer for short):
in versus CharInSet versus IsDigit versus IsInArrayOn the C# Version class (which handles most of semantic versioning except: leading zero’s, very large numbers, non-numeric release specifiers)
// A Version object contains four hierarchical numeric components: major, minor, // build and revision. Build and revision may be unspecified, which is represented // internally as a -1. By definition, an unspecified component matches anything // (both unspecified and specified), and an unspecified component is "less than" any // specified component.
Interesting idea, but not sustainable: using floating point values to compare versions:
On wildcards:

Since I keep forgetting that PowerShell is part of WMF (Windows Management Framework) and about the compatibility/installation matrix: [WayBack] Installing Windows PowerShell | Microsoft Docs:
The installation package for PowerShell comes inside a WMF installer. The version of the WMF installer matches the version of PowerShell; there’s no stand alone installer for Windows PowerShell.
If you need to update your existing version of PowerShell, in Windows, use the following table to locate the installer for the version of PowerShell you want to update to.
Windows PS 3.0 PS 4.0 PS 5.0 PS 5.1 Windows 10 (see Note1)
Windows Server 2016– – – installed Windows 8.1
Windows Server 2012 R2– installed [WayBack] WMF 5.0 [WayBack] WMF 5.1 Windows 8
Windows Server 2012installed [WayBack] WMF 4.0 [WayBack] WMF 5.0 [WayBack] WMF 5.1 Windows 7 SP1
Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1[WayBack] WMF 3.0 [WayBack] WMF 4.0 [WayBack] WMF 5.0 [WayBack] WMF 5.1
For historic reference:
To upgrade to WMF 5.0 from 4.0 you need to install .net 4.5 or later on your machine first. Then install WMF 5.0 RTM.

I need to give this some thought: [WayBack] Stop Time Tracking, Start Value Tracking – Agility Scales, via [WayBack] “Most people that I know would rather feel they are getting paid for value. But can we make that value measurable and visible? Let’s try!” – Marjan Venema – Google+.

I tried repeating VMware KB: Configuring Network Time Protocol (NTP) on ESX/ESXi hosts using the vSphere Client in ESXi 6.5 using the web-client (the steps are very similar, see [WayBack] How to configure ESXi 6.5 Network Time Protocol (NTP) via Host Client? | ESX Virtualization).
It failed with the non-descriptive “Failed – An error occurred during host configuration.”:
Viewing the details isn’t of much help as you do not get extra information:

Smart idea: [WayBack] How-to Make Your Own 3D Printing Goo.
It is a large (22g) Elmer’s glue stick dissolved into a cup of warm water.
After applying it with a paper towel, the 3D print sticks to the warm printing bed well, but comes off easily from a cold printing bed.
It is quite easy to make. 1 cup water and 1 large 22g Elmers glue stick. I put both in water and let sit thinking it would dissolve on its own. After several hours I got impatient and put it in the microwave and heated it.(45 seconds I think). That did the trick and was only left with a few big clumps that I broke apart with my fingers to finish the dissolving.
To apply I just dip a paper towel in the solution and wipe on the bed. It leaves an extremely light layer of glue on the bed that PLA sticks very well to. When the bed cools the parts have very light adhesion to the bed. If the bed is hot it takes some force to get off.
