Cool stuff: [WayBack] Python Data Science Handbook | Python Data Science Handbook.
Based on that I learned a lot of things on book publishing:
The Jupyter Notebook is a web-based interactive computing platform. The notebook combines live code, equations, narrative text, visualizations, interactive dashboards and other media.

Soon this is a thing of the past, but for just a few more days, you can help: Archiving Google+.
Either run this project: [WayBack] GitHub – ArchiveTeam/googleplus-grab: Archiving Google+.
Or even better: run the appliance, and help the WayBack machine with any archiving projects setup by the virtual appliance: the [WayBack] ArchiveTeam Warrior – Archiveteam.
See some of their other pages for more background information:
You can donate both to the archive team, and the internet archive:
The tracker is well under way: [WayBack] Googleplus tracker Dashboard. History: archive.is 1; archive.is 2

Based on [WayBack] windows – How to run batch file command with elevated permissions? – Super User:
powershell -command "Start-Process cmd.exe -Verb runas"
This works better than "runas /user:administrator cmd.exe" as that forces to use the specific Administrator account, whereas the PowerShell way allows you to specify the actual account during elevation.
You can extend this to run a command with one or more parameters based on [WayBack] Launch Elevated CMD.exe from Powershell – Stack Overflow (thanks [WayBack] mklement0):
powershell -command "Start-Process cmd.exe -Verb runas -Args /k, call, goto-bin"
This will actually pass “call goto-bin” to cmd.exe which tries to execute the “goto-bin” command (which I have around on the PATH as goto-bin.bat).
You can either use comma-separated parameters or a quoted string. In this expansion, comma-separated is easier in this PowerShell construct.

With the removal of the C# based Windows vSphere Client in ESXi 6.5, the vSphere HTML5 Web Client is the way to go.
It doesn’t cover all functionality yet, and some functionality is in different places in the UI, so below the steps to change the hostname.
Since I prefer a central location of name and address management, I’ve also documented on how to do this with DHCP option 12.
Oh: I’m not alone in finding the changed place
Before I begin, some background reading on DHCP Options as I plan to do more with that in the future:

From [WayBack] How do I pass this common property to MSBuild using TeamCity? – Stack Overflow, I learned you can pass properties to msbuild using the /p:propertyname=value or /property:propertyname=value syntax (where you can quote "value" when needed):
I am using the TeamCity Visual Studio runner. I want to add a setting that is not accessible from Visual Studio./Property:FileAlignment=4096I typed that directly into the build step “Command line
However, when passing these parameters to batch files first, be aware that they can strip equals signs from parameters: [WayBack] windows – Preserving “=” (equal) characters in batch file parameters – Stack Overflow
I bumped into this when passing properties to https://bitbucket.org/jeroenp/wiert.me/src/tip/Run-Dependend-rsvars-From-Path.bat

Did I ever tell I dislike regular expressions and old-skool shells?
They’re not good for anything but basic commands, so if you try any scripts in them, you’re basically lost.
If you disagree, please read [WayBack] Don’t write Shell scripts. I would recommend Python, but I tried “pip search mysql”…. – Kristian Köhntopp – Google+) and [WayBack] How did this shit ever work? by the same author.
On the other hand: on many system, the baseline isn’t much more than a shell and a very limited tool set.
With nx like systems that usually comes down to sed and a shell like bash.
Since I wanted to modify an openssh hardening script to cover more permutations that was using sed in a bash script, I had not much choice but to bite the bullet.
When you use any of the below characters, prepend them with a backslash as they have a bash meaning in addition to a sed meaning.
? becomes \?( becomes \() becomes \)| becomes \|Hopefully by now it’s [Archive.is] been merged into https://github.com/comotion/gone/blob/github/modules/ssh. If not, it’s at https://github.com/jpluimers/gone/blob/jpluimers-ssh-hardening-patch/modules/ssh.
The diff: [Archive.is] https://github.com/jpluimers/gone/commit/329bf12a320704080e68eee90f4c099e92d8388d?diff=unified
The relevant portion (which also uses backslashes as line continuation and wrap a command over multiple lines [WayBack]):
sed -i \ -e 's/#\?MaxAuthTries *[0-9]*.*/MaxAuthTries 2/' \ -e 's/#\?PermitRootLogin *\(yes\|no\).*/PermitRootLogin no/' \ -e 's/#\?UsePrivilegeSeparation *\(yes\|no\|sandbox\).*/UsePrivilegeSeparation sandbox/' \ -e 's/#\?StrictModes *\(yes\|no\).*/StrictModes yes/' \ -e 's/#\?IgnoreRhosts *\(yes\|no\).*/IgnoreRhosts yes/' \ -e 's/#\?PermitEmptyPasswords *\(yes\|no\).*/PermitEmptyPasswords no/' \ -e 's/#\?ChallengeResponseAuthentication *\(yes\|no\).*/ChallengeResponseAuthentication yes/' \ -e 's/#\?KerberosAuthentication *\(yes\|no\).*/KerberosAuthentication no/' \ -e 's/#\?GSSAPIAuthentication *\(yes\|no\).*/GSSAPIAuthentication no/' \ -e 's/#\?GatewayPorts *\(yes\|no\).*/GatewayPorts no/' \ -e 's/#\?X11Forwarding *\(yes\|no\).*/X11Forwarding no/' \ -e 's/#\?PrintMotd *\(yes\|no\).*/PrintMotd no/' \ -e 's/#\?PrintLastLog *\(yes\|no\).*/PrintLastLog yes/' \ -e 's/#\?TCPKeepAlive *\(yes\|no\).*/TCPKeepAlive no/' \ -e 's/#\?PermitUserEnvironment *\(yes\|no\).*/PermitUserEnvironment no/' \ -e 's/^\(HostKey .*ssh_host_dsa_key\)/#\1/' \ sshd_config

Interesting read, especially about the node event-loop which tries to mask it is single threaded by doing cooperative multi-tasking: [WayBack] The Way of the Gopher – Digg Data – Medium – Making the Switch from Node.js to Golang.
It mentions [WayBack] GitHub – gengo/goship: A simple tool for deploying code to servers.
