I need to try [Wayback/Archive] Live Share – Visual Studio Marketplace and get a feel for how it is to live share code: is it a way of working that fits me well?
This installs Live Share for Visual Studio Code:
code --install-extension MS-vsliveshare.vsliveshare
code --install-extension MS-vsliveshare.vsliveshare-pack
The second extension is for [Wayback/Archive] Live Share Extension Pack – Visual Studio Marketplace, which got released about a year after the first one.
Live Share was introduced in 2017, a period when most of my work was outside the Visual Studio realm, Visual Studio Code was just starting to gain momentum over Atom (which was mul multi-platform editor of choice back then; I wrote about it in a few blog posts), and my then main development environment did not allow live sharing at all. so I missed all this (:
For my reading list:
Uses search queries:
- [Wayback/Archive] markdown online co-editing – Google Search
- [Wayback/Archive] visual studio code collaborative editing – Google Search
- [Wayback/Archive] vscode live share – Google Search
The first query was my initial goal to accomplish, but I rather have the markdown files available off-line, so these did not help:

This revealed so much pain: [Wayback] gist include image in markdown in current directory – Google Search
I wished that – like in the past – it would work just like in a normal github hosted git repository: [Wayback/Archive] How do I display local image in markdown? – Stack Overflow.
The core problem is that though a gist underneath is a git repository, it is rendered in a way that is different than a github repository is rendered, and that way of rendering has changed over the years effectively making it difficult to embed a picture. When you do embed an image requires the uuid/guid of the raw image URL to be included in the markdown, unlike with a regular repository hosted on github.
That is so much pain that I decided to not host documentation in gists any more.
A bit of the pain:
This is an example gist where I tried to host an image: [Wayback/Archive] Windows 7 with PowerShell v2 fails to upgrade to PowerShell v3 through chocolatey: You must provide a value expression on the right-hand side of the '-' operator.
That gist was prelude to my post Chocolatey on Windows 7: âYou must provide a value expression on the right-hand side of the â-â operator.â.

A long time ago, on just one system, I forgot which one, I needed explicit [Wayback/Archive] linux – Newline-separated xargs – Server Fault.
The simple solution was to replace the newline with null before running xargs:
tr '\n' '\0'
The clean solution was to install [Wayback/Archive] gnu xargs:
GNU xargs (default on Linux; install findutils from MacPorts on OS X to get it) supports [Wayback/Archive] -d which lets you specify a custom delimiter for input, so you can do
ls *foo | xargs -d '\n' -P4 foo

[Archive.is] Exact Instructions Challenge – THIS is why my kids hate me. | Josh Darnit – YouTube
We asked the kids to write instructions for a simple task but left out that we were going to be following their instructions EXACTLY as written. Great lesson for communication and a fun practice in patience!

Q
It spurred all kinds of reactions about software development, like that programming should read like poetry, software development is about slowing down your thoughts, and that some high schools and some universities do this experiment at the start of their software development curriculum.
This is a cool experiment to do, even outside the USA, as many countries or regions have their own sandwich style, some of which are way harder to make than PB&J (:

[Wayback/Archive] Wireshark Cheat Sheet – Commands, Captures, Filters, Shortcuts
It is available both a huge [Wayback/Archive] jpg (2500×2096 pixels), so it already prints well on A5 or A4 sized paper for reference and as a [Wayback/Archive] PDF (so you can print it on even larger paper sizes).

LOL, Ionica taught me about a [Wayback/Archive] Ask Delphi “oracle”.
So I could not resist:
Is Delphi a programming language?
Don’t take the ethics of this “oracle” too seriously, as it is based on AI and we all know how that depends on the data it has been trained with.

Forgot to schedule this in 2014, so here it finally is, as the content is still relevant:
A long time ago (almost 10 years) I did some stuff with State Machines in .NET.
Since then the world has changed, and a lot more libraries have become available.
As I mainly use .NET and Delphi and there is a reasonable chance I need to do some more state machine work, here are some links about State Machines in both environments.
