The cool thing about [WayBack] How to Send Emails with Gmail using Python is that it covers a broad range of email sending topics:
Well wordt reading it, and the references:

Hopefully I’ve been able to integrate some of the ideas in the links below in github.com/jpluimers/btrfs-du/blob/master/btrfs-du
One of the features I wanted there was to be able to add optional switches like --raw, --iec or --si to it similar to what as the btrfs qgroup show subcommand has.
It seems possible with bash, but it is not trivial, at least not for me as a non-frequent bash user, so here are some links to get me started:
In retrospect, other languages than bash might have been a better choice for a script like that (:

PS, some btrfs references:

Cool tool: [WayBack] GitHub – NickRing/Delphi-Shortcut-Finder: Shows/find keyboard short-cuts have be assigned, that may be conflicting.

Some interesting thoughts on DVCS: [WayBack] Unorthodocs: Abandon your DVCS and Return to Sanity – bitquabit
Besides the very good point it raises about DVCS (Git, Mercurial and most other DVCSes treat the whole state of the repository as the atom) it also indicates quite a few shortcomings:
I see many other advantages of DVCS systems (for instance that you only need to locally have the branches you are interested in, way better tooling for DVCS systems, ditto for sites hosting DVCS), but it always a good thing to know the weak spots of what you are working with.

Examples like the one below from [WayBack] Scopes and names can really be deceiving. A root class and a descendant class can both have public fields, properties and methods with the same name… – Lars Fosdal – Google+ used to be part of the “language day” during my 5 day Delphi introductory courses.
Maybe I should find back more of those from the days, brush them up a little, then post them in a repository.
The thread has some nice references to tools that give better warnings and comparisons with other languages.
Anyone wanting to assist with that?

Your Delphi “licensed to” might be totally different from what it is actually licensed to.
From [WayBack] Hello people, any idea what exactly mean …licensed to test ??? My Delphi is registered with a valid account, subscription, serial number and so on. – Dobrin Petkov – Google+, at least these sources might be used different from the actual licensee name:

When working with git, often the brevity of a solution is remarkable. Remembering how it can be so short is the hard part. An explanation why helps, for instance with [WayBack] git tag – How to delete a git remote tag? – Stack Overflow by markdorison.
He explains why you end up with:
git push --delete <origin> <tagname>
Here, <origin> is your remote, and <tagname> the tag to delete.
He explains other ways, which is done by [WayBack] gist.github.com/mobilemind/7883996 as well:
| # delete local tag '12345' | |
| git tag -d 12345 | |
| # delete remote tag '12345' (eg, GitHub version too) | |
| git push origin :refs/tags/12345 | |
| # alternative approach | |
| git push –delete origin tagName | |
| git tag -d tagName |

I might need this in the future from Delphi: [WayBack] [Delphi] Delphi JSON Reformatter (text or html output) – Pastebin.com

A few days after filing <path> disappears from "Preview" rendering and also from actual rendering (at least in issues), I realised that this is by intent: Markdown allows to [WayBack] inline html which means that code like below will be all treated as such:
<path> > <path> *<path>* **<path>** > *<path>* > **<path>**
The solution is to either escape or quote with back-ticks:
`<path>` > `<path>` *`<path>`* **`<path>`** > *`<path>`* > **`<path>`**
Since WordPress also is based on pseudo-HTML codes, it too needs escaping.
