The below configuration file haves [WayBack] ApexSQL Refactor – Free SQL formatter | ApexSQL produce quite OK formatted SQL, even for complex queries, not just for SQL Server.
So this is the second free tool I use from ApexSQL. The first one was ApexSQL, a free tool (SSMS add-in) for analyzing the execution plan of a SQL server query…

I linked to [WayBack] the Old New Thing a lot from my blog, but never put in a few links to the author of all those posts: Raymond Chen.
So here you go:
Recurring topics on his blog:
He is on some videos to, for instance [Archive.is] One Dev Question with Raymond Chen – Why Are There 4 Functions for Converting Strings to GUIDs | One Dev Minute | Channel 9 (the actual mp4 video file through Archive.is).
You can find many more via raymond chen site:channel9.msdn.com – Google Search

For my archive: the [WayBack] How do I pretty-print JSON in Delphi? – Stack Overflow answer by [WayBack] Bob:
If you do not want to use any external library, and you’re using a Delphi XE5 or newer, there is a very handy
TJson.Format()function in theREST.Jsonunit.uses json, REST.Json; { ... } function FormatJSON(json: String): String; var tmpJson: TJsonObject; begin tmpJson := TJSONObject.ParseJSONValue(json); Result := TJson.Format(tmpJson); FreeAndNil(tmpJson); end;

Sometimes the Everything search tool gets out of sync with the actual contents on disk, so this tip from [WayBack] Everything 1.3.1.636b does not “refresh” – voidtools forum will rescan all volumes and update the database:
To rebuild the Everything database:
- In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
- Click the Indexes tab.
- Click Force Rebuild.
If that fails, you can always remove/add the volumes:

[WayBack] Is there a way to increase the rate at which Gmail fetches mail from another account? – Web Applications Stack Exchange got a nice follow-up on Twitter:
This is way better than suggestions from the past: increase the frequency in which email arrives at the POP3 account.

[WayBack] bash – How to get the primary IP address of the local machine on Linux and OS X? – Stack Overflow (thanks [WayBack] Collin Anderson!):
I tried on OS X 10.13.6 (macOS High Sierra) and these two work fine:
ip route get 1 | awk '{print $NF;exit}'
and
ip route get 8.8.8.8 | head -1 | cut -d' ' -f8
The first one needs the $ back-slash escaped as bash alias; the second does not need that.

[WayBack] Thread by @b0rk: “nmap i haven’t used nmap much except to scan my home network for fun so if i missed something really important i’d love to know! […]”
i haven’t used nmap much except to scan my home network for fun so if i missed something really important i’d love to know!also i need to find space in there somewhere for “if you don’t run nmap as root it can’t send icmp (ping) packets, it’s better to run nmap as root”
also be careful when nmapping in a network you don’t administer! it’s a popular hacking tool so using nmap is often discouraged / banned. i made all of the examples in this comic “
nmap scanme.nmap.org” and “nmap your home network” for a reason :)
There are are quite a few interesting comments on the thread:
And it taught me about scanme.nmap.org: [WayBack] Go ahead and ScanMe!
Hello, and welcome to Scanme.Nmap.Org, a service provided by the Nmap Security Scanner Project and Insecure.Org.
We set up this machine to help folks learn about Nmap and also to test and make sure that their Nmap installation (or Internet connection) is working properly. You are authorized to scan this machine with Nmap or other port scanners. Try not to hammer on the server too hard. A few scans in a day is fine, but dont scan 100 times a day or use this site to test your ssh brute-force password cracking tool.
Thanks

Every now and then it is good to read back this [WayBack] thread by @Nick_Craver: “
The thing about mistakes is that they do happen, and we need to learn from them. Almost always, it is useless to blame, but do your best to prevent them from happening again by doing blameless post-mortem.
We do however need to become better engineers, so this thread is relevant as well, because the impact of some is not been a net good:
[Cached] WayBack: thread by @www_ora_tion_ca: “This is wildly disingenuous, I speak as a flight instructor and major IT incident investigator. Modern software authors have the professional discipline of a cute puppy in comparison to aviation practitioners. […]”. quoting [WayBack] Alex Stamos on Twitter: “I agree with Chris. This is the kind of thinking that leads to “Why can’t we just have building codes for software? It worked to protect against earthquakes and fire!” Earthquakes and fire aren’t conscious adversaries. Try writing a standards document on how to win at chess.”
