Last friday I updated the examples at *nix networking – lsof: How to tell what process has a specific port open on Linux (via: Server Fault) as I needed to document some of the machines around here (so it becomes easier replacing them).
I also added some links to background information and (when I get to using it: OS X still goes without) a good iproute2 starter page.

I know, old knowledge, but I only recently added the below batch files to file collection.
Why? Because since a few Windows versions, the System process uses port 80 because IIS is installed by default in many configurations. And recently I had to do quote a bit of http communication work against a local machine outside the IIS realm.

Stop IIS:

:checkPrivileges
net file 1>nul 2>nul
if '%errorlevel%' == '0' ( goto :gotPrivileges ) else ( goto :getPrivileges )
:isNotAdmin
:getPrivileges
echo You need to be admin running with an elevated security token to run %0
goto :exit
:isAdmin
:gotPrivileges
:: net stop w3svc
:: net stop iisadmin
iisreset /stop
:exit
::pause
exit /b

Too bad the accepted answer forgets about deleted files.
Use one of these to compare (but not sync) two directory trees.
For size-only comparision:
rsync -n -avr --size-only --delete /abc/home/sample1/ server2:/abc/home/sample2/
If you want to compare both contents and size:
rsync -n -avrc --delete /abc/home/sample1/ server2:/abc/home/sample2/

Not sure yet why, but every now and then I get a failure like this in Visual Studio (at least in 2013 and up):
2>C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\12.0\bin\Microsoft.Common.CurrentVersion.targets(4548,5): error MSB3073: The command "copy /Y "C:\SomePath\SomeProjectName\bin\Debug\SomeProjectName.dll" "C:\SomePath\Shared Assemblies\"" exited with code 1.
2>Done executing task "Exec" -- FAILED.
Most of the times it is me at fault: some process still is using it.
But sometimes, it is devenv.exe (Visual Studio itself) that keeps it locked, even though nothing is running (in fact it can happen right after you loaded the project in Visual Studio 2013).
I found this out by using “Process Explorer Search” (Ctrl+F or Find Handle or DLL).
Not sure why yet.

As Delphi allows to forward declare both classes and interfaces, people often wonder about records.
The short answer: you can’t forward declare record types.
The long answer: you can’t directly, but you can indirectly either reference based (through pointers or callbacks with const parameters) or operator based (through operator overloading).
I think the reason forward declaration of classes and interfaces is possible because they both are reference types, so referring does not impose copying.
Anyway, the trick is this:
You can’t have forward declarations for record types. Define both Implicit operators in the second type

Updated the homepage in the source and readme to reflect the move to GitHub.
Source: pleriche/FastMM4@245706d
In related news: Primož Gabrijelčič is contributing to it as well: his pull request got processed https://github.com/pleriche/FastMM4/pull/1 implemented FastReallocMem logger.

This indeed works very well:
All console output is shown in the build log.
So when you need more context on tests that succeed, you can just output them on the Console.
A practical use: testing the sending of SMS messages over HTTPS where the intermediate proxy can change and was giving different effects.
Logging the actual proxy used correlated some run-time findings. Based on that we could write better tests.

If for instance your Boxee gets old or breaks down, you can use a Raspberry Pi as a replacement with Kodi as media player.
This combination will understand the Video+USB over HDMI which most TV supports officially named HDMI-CEC , but most vendors “invented” their own names (see list below).
The core is the kodi support for CEC.
Basically it comes down to using three cables going to the Pi: Power from TV (or some other source), HDMI to TV, and wired Ethernet. And a distribution for RaspberryPi containing kodi will work, for instance from OpenELEC Mediacenter – Download: Raspberry Pi Builds
Chad MILLER has more details on how to get this to work: My Boxee box is getting old, but I knew of no replacements. The problem is I …
Names known for HDMI-CEC via Wikipedia:
Anynet+ (Samsung), Aquos Link (Sharp), BRAVIA Link and BRAVIA Sync (Sony), HDMI-CEC (Hitachi), E-link (AOC), Kuro Link (Pioneer), INlink (Insignia), CE-Link and Regza Link (Toshiba), RIHD (Remote Interactive over HDMI) (Onkyo), RuncoLink (Runco International), SimpLink (LG), T-Link (ITT), HDAVI Control, EZ-Sync, VIERA Link (Panasonic), EasyLink (Philips), and NetCommand for HDMI (Mitsubishi).
Because of the naming, turning on CEC can be confusing: How to Enable HDMI-CEC on Your TV, and Why You Should
