For codesign verification:
find /Applications -d 1 -name "*.app" -exec codesign --verify --verbose {} \;For system policy assessment:
find /Applications -d 1 -name "*.app" -exec spctl --assess --verbose {} \;

I wish I had seen this years ago, as I’ve always had a hate-hate relationship with many shells on many OS-es.
I’ve included the ToC; read the rest of BashPitfalls: common errors that Bash programmers make – Greg’s Wiki back-to-back. It’s worth it, really.
Bash Pitfalls
This page shows common errors that Bash programmers make. These examples are all flawed in some way.
You will save yourself from many of these pitfalls if you simply always use quotes and never use WordSplitting for any reason! Word splitting is a broken legacy misfeature inherited from the Bourne shell that’s stuck on by default if you don’t quote expansions. The vast majority of pitfalls are in some way related to unquoted expansions, and the ensuing word splitting and globbing that result.

On a system where I just added a new E: drive, it was indeed available as
wmic logicaldisk where drivetype=3 get caption,filesystem,drivetype,providername,volumename
would output:
Caption DriveType FileSystem ProviderName VolumeName C: 3 NTFS D: 3 NTFS E: 3 NTFS
But it would not list as an administrative share since
net share
would give:
Share name Resource Remark ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- IPC$ Remote IPC ADMIN$ C:\WINDOWS Remote Admin D$ D:\ Default share C$ C:\ Default share The command completed successfully.
I wonder why the E$ drive was not visible. If anyone knows a better solution than a reboot, please let me know.
This was after the reboot:
Share name Resource Remark ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- IPC$ Remote IPC ADMIN$ C:\WINDOWS Remote Admin D$ D:\ Default share E$ E:\ Default share C$ C:\ Default share The command completed successfully.

LOL:
The if syntax of your script was a bit…well, iffy.
Indeed it is:
#!/bin/bash #toggle AppleShowAllFiles current_value=$(defaults read com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles) if [ $current_value = "TRUE" ] then defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles FALSE else defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE fi killall Finder
Even the alternative if statement is:
if [[ $(defaults read com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles) == TRUE ]]

Thanks Jon for answering this:

A while ago, Alan Cox write a G+ post pointing me to Easy 6502 by skilldrick. The last couple of weeks I finally found time to play with it:
It is a tutorial ebook by Nick Morgan with examples and a play ground based on the adapted JavaScript 6502 assembler and simulator right integrated into a github.io site.
From the perspective of learning assembly language to get a grasp of thinking at the lowest computer abstraction, it is an ideal tutorial: the 6502 is a very simple 8-bit processor with only 3 registers. These restrictions make programming fun.
These are the topics covered:
This is what Alan thinks about it:
… some of the other 6502 tutorials
This one is really really neat – bit more basic than the bits I need to brush up on but really nicely done.

Brilliant! Cast to xml, if it is nil, then the second cast to bool will give false, otherwise true:
Thanks Shay Levy!

Thanks [Wayback] Jørn Einar Angeltveit for sharing this a while ago:
A session by Jon Skeet and Tony the Pony (which has strong teeth) presented during the Polish DevDay 2013 in Kraków, Poland.
[Wayback] +Jon Skeet’s speech [Wayback] “Back to basics” is really a good watch.
In a funny way, he explains why the simplest fundamentals of computer software text, dates and numbers can cause some real headache for the programmer…
In case you didn’t know: Jon Skeet is “Chuck Norris” on [Wayback] stackoverflow.com:
The subtitle is “the mess we’ve made of our fundamental data types”.

Nice question (thanks aplm!), as for instance Gist does not render html:
Pastebin is a useful online tool to paste snippets of text. Pastie is a similar tool. Also, Ideone is similar except that it also runs the source code, as well as being a general pastebin.
Is there a similar tool, for HTML?
And ditto links in the answer (thanks meder!):
Unbelievable that such questions get closed as “not constructive”.
Note I could not get http://www.pastekit.com to work.
