Hopefully this becomes available on-line, as this will be a great talk, but Potsdam is out of my reach in my current physical condition.
[Wayback] AgileTD Keynote | Happiness is Quality
In Gwen Diagram’s keynote go on a journey of looking at how to improve happiness in teams for the goal of building quality systems.
How can we build teams that strive to build quality systems? By building in happiness early and often.
Each organisation has a culture which directly affects the quality of their work. Organisations with a lower level of quality; that is, systems that fail more often, longer times to fix and longer times to build often have a few things in common; frustration, apathy and cynicism.
On the other side of the coin, teams with slack, time to learn and time to reflect also have the space to improve their systems. Quality is everyone’s responsibility is an oft quoted phrase. But, how do you actually engage people to build quality systems?
Improving quality should not weigh heavy on the shoulders of the test specialist. Their main role should not be attempting to convince people that unit tests should exist, that systems should be testable and observable or that automated tests will speed up development. Instead, we should be building teams that want to find out together how to build a system that breathes quality.
The way to do this is by improving the happiness of the engineers on the team with learning, autonomy and coaching. So, how can we build teams that strive to build quality systems? By building in happiness early and often. In this talk, we will go on a journey of looking at how to improve happiness in teams for the end goal of building quality systems.

Besides manual upload at [Archive.is] Upload to Internet Archive, there are also automated ways of uploading content.
One day I need this to archive pages or sites into the WayBack machine: [WayBack] Overview of Client Libraries · Internet Archive (most of which is Python based):

A while ago, I bumped into problems updating UltraVNC through Chocolatey.
It is similar to issues with other packages I have seen in the past: sha256 hash mismatches of which the reported mismatch changes over time, though the version stays the same.
This was tracked down to the actual file download site now needing a correct HTTP referer header. Likely this is to stop automated downloads, which kind of back-fires as ultimately you want to automate download and installation of things as much as possible.
Anyway: this is the [Archive.is] thread (which cannot be archived as Disqus hates archiving in the WayBack machine, and archive.is often fails with it too):
The recent update to 1.2300 fails for me with a file hash error. The install script has
fe3d1135ae0e7b72394a6f3cc137282cb5e6382a55b5ceee72140d28f5ffe961, but the installer as downloaded, and verified via a separate download and hash check has5A42A24BED5A39ACA44443916E5B2C4C259CE8E843E90FD07F7AB3D26CB237C8

Since Chrome changes over time, the batch file below from [WayBack] Run chrome in fullscreen mode on Windows – Stack Overflow also changes:
@echo off echo Countdown to application launch... timeout /t 10 "C:\Program Files (x86)\chrome-win32\chrome.exe" --chrome --kiosk http://localhost/xxxx --incognito --disable-pinch --no-user-gesture-required --overscroll-history-navigation=0 exit
On most of my systems. Chrome is at C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe, so I need to change the path anyway.

Waarschijnlijk is er inmiddels een app om het continue te meten [Archive.is] SchipholWatch on Twitter: “Oudere telefoon voor continu meten vliegherrie …” / Twitter:
- … Explane: er komt een nieuwe versie van de app, waarmee ook continu kan worden gemeten. Met de nieuwe versie kunnen omwonenden gedurende zelf te kiezen periodes alle overkomende vliegtuigen registreren en doorgeven aan de centrale database.
…
- Daarvoor is geen aparte sim-kaart nodig, zolang de telefoon maar in het bereik van een bekend wifi-netwerk ligt.
…
- Ook zal de nieuwe versie via Bluetooth kunnen communiceren met een goedkope (en eventueel waterdichte) decibel-meter.
…
- is wel enkele maanden tijd nodig, omdat ook deze weer wordt gebouwd door onze vrijwilliger Roelof Meijer. Hij werkt op vrije dagen aan de app.

When you do a choco upgrade all --yes on a system that – during upgrade – becomes low on disk space, you can end up with a lot of empty .nupkg files.
For those package, Chocolatey will not recognise they are installed any more.
The fix is this:
--force parameter before the --yes parameter like in
choco install --force --yes chocolatey
choco upgrade --all --yesI wrote a few PowerShell scripts assisting me in cleaning up the mess.
choco-list-installed.bat:: https://superuser.com/questions/890251/how-to-list-chocolatey-packages-already-installed-and-newer-version-available-fr choco list --localonly %*
choco-show-installed-package-names.bat:: `--limit-output` does not show Chocolatey version header and count footer. :: `--id-oonly` omits the version number, so you only get the package name choco list --local-only --limit-output --id-only
choco-show-installed-package-names-and-versions.bat:: `--limit-output` does not show Chocolatey version header and count footer. choco list --local-only --limit-output %*
choco-reinstall-empty-nupkg-by-names.ps1There is an environment variable set on installation,
ChocolateyInstall, which is set toC:\Chocolateyby default in versions of Chocolatey less than 0.9.8.27. After that, this defaults toC:\ProgramData\Chocolatey.NOTE: By default, the
C:\ProgramDatafolder on Windows is hidden. You will either need to enable hidden files and folders throughFolder Options | Viewor you can navigate directly to the path shown above by copy/pasting directly into the Windows Explorer address bar.In version 0.9.9 of Chocolatey, it actively moves from the old folder location to the new one.
A convenient way to obtain the string value rather than the dictionary entry (which is technically what
Get-ChildItemis accessing) is to just use the variable syntax:$Env:USERPROFILErather thanGet-ChildItem Env:USERPROFILE.$localpath = "$env:USERPROFILE\some\path"…
Also, the
Join-Pathcmdlet is a good way to combine two parts of a path.$localpath = Join-Path $env:USERPROFILE 'some\path'
<# https://learningpcs.blogspot.com/2009/12/powershell-finding-0-byte-files.html Zero length .nupkg files sorted by oldest first. These are packages that choco will not show and likekly need a forced reinstall. Choco does remember the version that was installed (so not all the choco config is hosed). - https://stackoverflow.com/questions/28235388/where-is-the-chocolatey-installation-path/28239451#28239451 - https://stackoverflow.com/questions/41047123/powershell-concatenate-an-environment-variable-with-path/41047343#41047343 /#> $LibPath = Join-Path $env:ChocolateyInstall 'lib' $NuPkgExtension = 'nupkg' $NupkgFilter = "*.$NuPkgExtension" ## Remove the empty .nupkg files for each argument $args | ForEach-Object { $PackageName = $_ Write-Output "Deleting any empty $PackageName.$NuPkgExtension under $LibPath :" Get-ChildItem -Path $LibPath -Recurse -Filter $NupkgFilter | Where-Object { ($_.Length -eq 0) -and ($_.BaseName -eq $PackageName) } | Sort-Object LastWriteTime | ForEach-Object { $PackageFullName = $_.FullName Write-Output "Deleting $PackageFullName" Remove-Item $PackageFullName } } ## Force install the chocolatey package for each argument $args | ForEach-Object { $PackageName = $_ Write-Output "Installing $PackageName with Chocolatey:" choco install --force --yes $PackageName }
