I had my userid jeroenp show on all my commits, issues and other activity on BitBucket, though in SourceTree, hg config, gitconfig, etc I had configured my full name.
The fix was simple:
In my case, the full name was all in the First name field, then BitBucket thinks you don’t have a real name.

Wow, just wow for this teaser:
This page provides a few videos to help you get started with RemObjects C# for iOS development.
and this:
This page provides a few videos to help you get started with RemObjects C# for Android (and Java) development.
It is about Hydrogene, a.k.a. RemObjects C#, which – like Oxygene – also adds a few extensions to the C# language, just like Jolyon speculated december last year.
It wil be in beta tomorrow (:
Summary of tools used for iOS:
Summary of tools used for Android:
Summary of tools used for iOS and Android
I’m gussing here, as the URL is not yet live, but from March 1st (tomorrow!) you should be able to download a beta of Hydrogene/RemObjects C# from http://www.remobjects.com/elements/hydrogene (Just like Oxygene is available from http://www.remobjects.com/elements/oxygene/).

I’m more and more amazed (actually I’m not, this is how life on forum-like communities when moderatorss take over) about which StackOverflow questsions get closed, and which ones stay alive.
It seems the best way is to ask longer questions way beyond what most moderatorss can grasp.
Closed:
Still open:
A great point in the comments of the first question is that
you can technically can write .NET 4.0 / C# 4 applications on a .NET 4.5 / C#5 equiped machine and deploy them on machines that only have .NET 4.0 and C# support.
Don’t. I learned that in the .NET 3.0/3.5 and C# 3.0/2.0 era that combining is bad as the version matrix allows for subtle combinations that are hard to test.
.NET 3.0 with C# 2.0 applications written on a system that had .NET 3.5 and C# 3.0 installed would occasionally fail on systems that only had .NET 3.0 and C# 2.0 installed.

This and next week, a few PowerShell posts appear on my blog.
Victor Zakharov, also known as Neolisk collected all the Special Characters and Tokens used in PowerShell on one page (they are scattered around the PowerShell documentation if documented at all).
The page is so immensely useful when learning PowerShell that I’m really glad I found it.
It is even better than Less Than Dot – Blog – A Cheat Sheet for All the *{_(%#$] PowerShell Punctuation.

In most programming environments, I tend to avoid abbreviations, especially since command-completion and parameter-completion makes it easier to write readable code.
Same fore PowerShell: the PowerShell ISE has great completion features.
Other people tend to use abbreviations, especially since many PowerShell aliases make it easier for people coming from a cmd or bash background.
Two Get-Alias commands I use quite often for researching aliases:
Get-Alias -Definition <name>Get-Alias | Sort-Object DefinitionThe former gives you the CmdLet for an alias.
The latter all defines alises sorted by the CmdLet definition.
Two aliases that I tend to avoid are these:
%) alias for ForEach-Object (I tend to write that full, or use foreach)?) alias for Where-Object (again: either full, or where)While you are at it, there are also parameter aliases. Read Weekend Scripter: Discovering PowerShell Cmdlet Parameter Aliases on TechNet Blogs to learn more about these.

As a follow up of When using Apple Hardware, be prepared for security updates. iOS already there, OS X and others will follow. #gotofail:
This is a must read: Apple’s #gotofail weekend – Ashkan Soltani, and cortesi – Exploiting CVE-2014-1266 with mitmproxy.
especially since the OS X Mavericks fix is out:

This post lists a lot of links related to the history of Pascal / Object Pascal / Delphi Language / FreePascal / etc.
No mentioning of Pascal should start without Niklaus Wirth. At the time of writing he is still alive, hopefully he still is a the time of publication.
Link clearance.

Last week, Apple fixed the so called #gotofail bug for iOS devices. Other devices (Macs with OS X 10.9 Mavericks, maybe earlier versions and I also suspect Apple TV to be vulnerable) will follow soon.
I thought that Old iOS devices would be in the dark as the updates are for iOS 6.x and 7.x only. So any device that can only run on iOS 5 or lower might not be supported.
So I thought these devices would be unsupported, but found out an iPad 1st generation would pass the gotofail.com test.
So if you have any of these, please let me know if they fail or pass:
- iPhone 3 or earlier,
- iPod Touch 3rd generation or earlier,
- iPad 1st generation: passes.
Please watch any security announcements carefully with using Apple equipment, as the bug can highly facilitate a man-in-the-middle attack.

When you get the below error when adding an HgGlow with SourceTree, then do one of these:
Short error message:
hg flow -y -f init
abort: No module named ConfigParser!
Full error message (the middle line is funny “flow: Flow was already initialized for workspace:”):
| hg flow -y -f init | |
| abort: No module named ConfigParser! | |
| flow: Flow was already initialized for workspace: | |
| Completed with errors, see above. |
Ultimately, hgflow should fix yinwm / hgflow / issues / #8 – Failing on Windows Binary version, but they haven’t for almost 3 years now.
