Via [WayBack] Scott Hanselman @shanselman: Excellent blog post from Jessica on how to setup the best Linux on Windows environment! @jldeen:
[WayBack] Badass Terminal: FCU WSL Edition (oh-my-zsh, powerlevel9k, tmux, and more!)
It’s that time again! The time to write another epic blog post, this time for WSL, also known as Windows Subsystem for Linux.
It requires Windows 10 Version 1709 (Fall_Creators_Update) which has build number 10.0.16299.

CompuServe’s forums, which still exist, are finally shutting down on 20171215

An era ends: [Archive.is] CompuServe’s forums, which still exist, are finally shutting down
Before there was a World Wide Web, a sizable chunk of all meaningful conversation between computer users happened in the forums at CompuServe, which was the dominant online service until AOL came along. There was a CompuServe forum for everything from PC hardware to comic books, the signal-to-noise ratio was generally high, and … they if you … will be removed from what remains of CompuServe on December 15.
I remember spending a truckload of money on 100013,1443. Heck: it was the reason for getting a credit card in the first place!

Some notes on “The WordPress bookmarklet was deprecated. Please delete it from your web browser.” because the `/wp-admin/press-this.php` based URLs look very similar.

github – Open Atom editor from command line – Stack Overflow
Posted by jpluimers on 2017/11/17
I have the Atom editor and was wondering how you can open a file or folder from the terminal in Atom. I am using a Mac. I am looking for a way to do this: atom . (opens folder) atom file.js (
The answer to it isn’t any good any more (since then, Atom has evolved), but this comment works splendid:
I solved the issue by choosing “Install Shell Commands” under the “Atom” menu.
It will add a script in /usr/local/bin/atom that starts Atom with the parameters you entered.

Hi! how to hide a property in object inspector? i have my custom components …
Posted by jpluimers on 2017/11/16
For my link archive:
- [WayBack] How to hide a property in object inspector? i have my custom components …
- [WayBack] delphi – Custom component and tab order – Stack Overflow
Some quotes
- Jeroen Wiert Pluimers
You cannot undo things that are inherited. What you can do is not make that property published but overwrite the streaming mechanism of your component for instance by using http://docwiki.embarcadero.com/Libraries/en/System.Classes.TPersistent.DefineProperties
- Fabian S. Biehn
You could just make your property public instead of published:
Not visible in OI but accessible via source code. - Ondrej Kelle
Use the TCustomXYZ pattern (with unpublished properties) to allow descendants to publish them selectively.
- Eugene Kryukov
Take a look at selection editor (ISelectionpropertyFilter). For example see how TMobileFormFilter works at FmxReg.pas in Source\Property Editors
- Attila Kovacs

DNS BIND9 acl clause – they *can* be nested
Posted by jpluimers on 2017/11/16
One of the use cases of DNS acl I needed involved having some data to be duplicated across acl.
So I was looking at some way to de-duplicate and found out the term for that is nesting which the bind acl allow.
- [WayBack] DNS BIND9 acl clause and [WayBack] BIND9 named.conf Definition of Address List Match have examples but don’t really refer to any standard.
- [WayBack] Chapter 7. BIND 9 Security Considerations – Access Control Lists explains it towards the end: right before [WayBack] Chapter 7. BIND 9 Security Considerations – Chroot and Setuid starts.

Happy 60th birthday, Fortran
Posted by jpluimers on 2017/11/15
I remember a FORTRAN IV (or was it 66?) course during my chemistry studies at the end of the 1980s. Luckily, the VAX/VMS version (not sure which one, it ran on a VAX 11/750) where we had to program on came with an extended FORTRAN 77 compiler even supporting 132 columns and other nice features.
My favourite program was about an algorithm to assemble 3 tables (one relating atom numbers and their valencies, a second with atom-atom distances, a third with 3-D atom positions) into a chemical compound indicating any rings. I implemented my own recursion with stacks citing a Dire Straits song with “and when you finally reappear, at the place where you came in…”.
Later I ported this to a PC reviewing the Microsoft FORTRAN 5.1 compiler for the Dutch PCM (Personal Computer Magazine). Recently I learned Lahey had a big role in the Fortran.NET compiler.
This year FORTRAN turned 60 years old and it is still in used, though not as heavily as a few decades ago.
The Fortran compiler, introduced in April 1957, was the first optimizing compiler, and it paved the way for many technical computing applications over the years. What Cobol did for business computing, Fortran did for scientific computing. Fortran may be approaching retirement age, but that doesn’t mean it’s about to stop working. This year marks the 60th anniversary of the first Fortran (then styled “FORTRAN,” for “FORmula TRANslation”) release.
