For quite a while, I had the error “The application “Audacity.app” can’t be opened.” and Audacity still opening. Clicking the OK button often enough made me hunt for the solution:
This is what I did:
$ cd ~/Library/Application\ Support/audacity
$ grep Temp audacity.cfg
TempDir=/Users/jeroenp/Library/Application Support/audacity/SessionData
Then I checked if the directory existed:

By default, the words are stored in a text file called “RoamingCustom.Dic” – Google Search.

Put the song in a playlist and click the check box off. All the songs in the playlist will have to be clicked off as well.Or easier still have the track as the only song in the play list.
For me, the easiest way to do this is to put all songs in a playlist, then in the playlist (can be “Playlist” view mode, but “Songs” view mode is easier). The video below shows exactly how to do this, but here are te steps:
select all songs with Command-AVia:

The built-in help of the Joe’s Own Editor – Wikipedia shows only a limited set of keyboard shortcuts:
What it misses is how to navigate through Windows. You use the ^KN (for Next) and ^KP (for Previous) navigation shortcuts for that.
You can even use that to navigate out of the Find or Replace line: The Find and Replace lines are single line prompts without a status line (but with a caption).

From a while back, but still relevant as the speed of the GMail web-UI still has not improved.

I love nameof (and wish many more languages had a similar feature), but since it got introduced so late in the C# language, there is still a lot of old idiom going around. Luckily most of that are not string literals, but you see the occasional reminder to get rid of that cruft: [WayBack] Nick Craver on Twitter: “I see a lot of MyEnum.Member.ToString() in code reviews across various projects – instead you should use: nameof(MyEnum.Member)”.
Luckily, there is a Roslyn analyser for it: [WayBack] Andy Edinborough on Twitter: “Roslynator: https://t.co/3LDUG9WRvE… “.

[WayBack] Antão Almada on Twitter: “I use Enums.NET https://t.co/YaIZWpYVxJ… “ which is a cool library that I’ve used a lot:

[WayBack] browser – Clearing old browsing data in Chrome instead of newer data – Super User had a few possibilities, but eHistory disappeared from the Chrome store (apparently due to some unknown violation), so the way that works best now is to hack the History database which is a SQLite file as mentioned in

Still a very good (Dutch) read by mentor (not only Agile, also DCI and Marching) Robby Overvliet [WayBack/Archive.is] Go pick a leaf of that tree!:
Ben jij Agile? Weet je het zeker? Tuurlijk het whiteboard hangt en de stickies schuiven vrolijk van links naar rechts. Dagelijks is daar netjes de standup en andere feedback loops doen hun ding.

One of the cool things is that he learned a lot from Charlie Anderson, that I recollect from the Borland and Quattro Pro days. What a smal world (:

From about 4 years ago, so time to see how many development stacks support Unum by now: [WayBack] The End of (Numeric) Error
Crunching numbers was the prime task of early computers. The common element of these early computers is they all used integer arithmetic. John Gustafson, one of the foremost experts in scientific computing, has proposed a new number format that provides more accurate answers than standard floats, yet saves space and energy. The new format might well revolutionize the way we do numerical calculations.
Back then, I found these links through my G+ circles:

From [WayBack] Git – Credential Storage:
Git has a few options provided in the box:
- The default is not to cache at all. Every connection will prompt you for your username and password.
- The “cache” mode keeps credentials in memory for a certain period of time. None of the passwords are ever stored on disk, and they are purged from the cache after 15 minutes.
- …
$ git config --global credential.helper cacheThe
cachehelper accepts the--timeout <seconds>option, which changes the amount of time its daemon is kept running (the default is900, or 15 minutes).
This is a one time config setting.
To remove it, use this command:
$ git config --global unset credential.helper cache
