Always read the comments (:
Cool tip by Paul Irish (but remember it will dump the binary curl output as well) at [WayBack] How can I debug git/git-shell related problems? – Stack Overflow:
There are a few GIT_TRACE options, beyond the core one. Here’s the über-verbose option: set -x; GIT_TRACE=2 GIT_CURL_VERBOSE=2 GIT_TRACE_PERFORMANCE=2 GIT_TRACE_PACK_ACCESS=2 GIT_TRACE_PACKET=2 GIT_TRACE_PACKFILE=2 GIT_TRACE_SETUP=2 GIT_TRACE_SHALLOW=2 git pull origin master -v -v; set +x

Two tools I like:
GrandPersctive is good at showing a visual overeview. OmniDiskSweeper is better at gradually drilling down.
Easy installation:
$ brew install caskroom/cask/omnidisksweeper
$ brew install caskroom/cask/grandperspective

[WayBack] RB450G and “..could not get answer from dns server” – MikroTik: I do not see a default route. It would be the route with “dst-address=0.0.0.0/0“.

[WayBack] AppCleaner helped me get rid of a the gazillion number of versions that GoToMeeting had silently installed and their dependencies.
Gigabytes recovered.
Installing is easy: $ brew install caskroom/cask/appcleaner
AppCleaner is a small application which allows you to thoroughly uninstall unwanted apps.
Installing an application distributes many files throughout your System using space of your Hard Drive unnecessarily.
AppCleaner finds all these small files and safely deletes them.
Simply drop an application onto the AppCleaner window. It will find for the related files and you can delete them by clicking the delete button.

A while ago, I had to mass encrypt a lot of directories and files on Windows for some directories in an existing directory structure.
This helped me to find out which ones were already done (it lists all encrypted files on all drives; the /n ensures the files or encryption keys are not altered):
cipher.exe /u /n /h
This encrypted recursively in one directory B:\Directory:
cipher /D /S:B:\Directory /A
It also has options to wipe data (/W), export keys into transferrable files (/X) and many more.
If you like the Windows Explorer more then to encrypt/decrypt (it is a tedious process): [WayBack] How do I encrypt/decrypt a file? | IT Pro.

A friend asked me what tools I use for downloading media, converting it to various formats (including audio extraction) and audio editing.
It is a surprisingly short list:
Most of it runs out of the box on Mac OS X/MacOS/OS X, as I’ve moved there form Windows for most of my day to day access to systems (there is a great set of Microsoft Remote Desktop in the app store: [Archive.is] Microsoft Remote Desktop 8.0 on the Mac App Store and [Archive.is] Microsoft Remote Desktop 10 on the Mac App Store; I like the first one better).

As I one day likely need to pas a dynamically created array of const from scratch (which behind the scenes actually is an array of TVarRec, where each element is, TVarRec which is a variant record that can have both values and pointers to values. So the result will be kind of a mess :)
Further reading:
Edit 20251105: also relevant is this excellent article [Wayback/Archive] Rudy’s Delphi Corner – Open array parameters and array of const which was pointed to me [W/A] at Delphi Developers

Pragmatism is possibly one of those words you’ve heard 1000 times and feel confident you know what it means. I did. On the surface, it seems like a straightforward concept. The definition is simple: Pragmatism /’praɡmətɪz(ə)m/ (noun) : an approach that evaluates theories or beliefs in terms of the success of their practical application. The philosophy lies at the heart of many aspects of agile. Think about it, empiricism is deeply tied to pragmatism.
