Fiber to Fiber speed beats Cable to Fiber speed by a factor 2 (all three internet connections are in the same house)

Posted by jpluimers on 2015/10/05

I’ve two fiber connections, one cable connection and one ADSL connection at home.

This is a traceroute from one fiber connection to the other over the outside network:

This is the same but from my third connection (that will go away sooner than later): Cable.

Finally there is ADSL (which will go even sooner):

 4  xe-8-1-0.dr11.xs4all.net (194.109.7.14)  15.961 ms xe7-0-0.dr11.d12.xs4all.net (194.109.7.170)  15.762 ms xe-8-1-0.dr11.xs4all.net (194.109.7.14)  15.283 ms
 5  snip.xs4all.nl (80.100.143.119)(N!)  15.914 ms (N!)  16.171 ms (N!)  15.710 ms

Cable is about twice as slow than Fiber.

ADSL is about three times as slow than Fiber.

Solution for My 6th generation nano plays same song over and over and will not suffle songs – via Apple Support Communities

Posted by jpluimers on 2015/10/05

Solution for:

My 6th generation nano plays same song over and over and will not shuffle songs or play them like it is supposed to skipping to next song. What do i need to do to get it back to normal?

peter’d in response to Karrojava:

If you have that second Nano, the one that is 1 3/4 inches, perfectly square, and your song is playing over and over, you need to put your finger on the double arrows that move to next song and swipe left. You’ll get the screen with the repeat loop, the genius icon and the shuffle icon and you’ll see that the repeat loop has a 1 showing. Just touch it and the one will disappear. It took me an hour to figure this out and I even got it twice and couldn’t figure out what I did. It isn’t in the current Nano instructions as the newer ones have easier access to these icons.

This is the sequence of screens from iPod nano in delhi | iPad in delhi | HP Laptop in delhi | Samsung Notebook | Chirag Desktop | Gaming Headphone | Apple, MAC Computers | VHS INFOTECH PVT. LTD.:

Playing song Playing song: swipe, then Repeat count; Genius; Shuffle mode Repeat count; Genius; Shuffle mode.

Note: this iPod doesn’t auto-roate so you use two fingers to rotate it 90 degrees on any screen

Rote the screen: use two fingers. Rote the screen:  Use two fingers to rorate the screen. Use two fingers to rorate the screen.

Pruning your Windows 7+/Server 2008 R2+ installations and huge files in %windir%\Logs\CBS

Posted by jpluimers on 2015/10/02

This applies to at least these versions when you run them under at least VMware Fusion or Workstation:

  • Windows 7
  • Windows 8
  • Windows 8.1
  • Windows Server 2008 R2

Often this folder get huge: %windir%\Logs\CBS (normally C:\Windows\Logs\CBS)

I’ve successfully compressed the content, but even though it is text, they don’t compress that well.

Some reports indicate you can safely delete them when there is nothing wrong with your system nor with Windows Update:

So that’s what I’m going to try next.

Later: done the below on an UAC (Administrator) command prompt.

Cleanup CBS via [WayBack] Gin answering at [WayBack] windows 8 – Why is CBS.log file size 20 GB – Super User::

net stop TrustedInstaller
del %windir%\Logs\CBS\CBSPersist*.*
net start TrustedInstaller

Then I did this to cleanup the C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\DataStore\DataStore.edb file via [WayBack] Gin at [WayBack] windows 8 – Why is CBS.log file size 20 GB – Super User:

net stop wuauserv
net stop bits
esentutl.exe /d %windir%\SoftwareDistribution\DataStore\DataStore.edb
CleanMgr
reboot

The reboot will restart the stopped services.

NUnit XSD for verification and XML to HTML conversion

Posted by jpluimers on 2015/10/01

Of course NUnit will emit NUnit compatible XML, but other tools do too.

To verify if such XML is indeed compliant to the NUnit standard, there is an XML Schema for it which – at the time of writing – the latest version was here:

http://www.nunit.org/docs/2.6.4/files/Results.xsd

Many CI tools map the resulting XML into some form of output. To get HTML output, XSLT is a logical choice, but there are other means too. Here are a few links to get started converting the output:

Visual Studio: Zoom Out when ReSharper has captured Ctrl+Shift+,

Posted by jpluimers on 2015/09/30

ReSharper has a whole set of nice keyboard shortcuts, which includes Ctrl + Shift + , for View Recent Edits.

This overwrites the Zoom Out half of the default Visual Studio zoom keyboard shortcuts (thanks Carlos Muñoz):

Ctrl + Shift + . to zoom in and Ctrl + Shift + , to zoom out.

They don’t keep an alternative for Zoom Out, and unlike most tools I know that allow for zooming, there is no keyboard accessible menu entry for Zoom Out in Visual Studio.

So you have to use your mouse to go in the lower left of your editor window in order to Zoom Out (thanks ashteele for putting that in an SO question):

Zoom percentage in the lower left of your Visual Studio editor Window

Or you can reconfigure the old shortcut (thanks Aaron Ransley):

through Tools -> Options -> Environment -> Keyboard and map “View.ZoomIn” and “View.ZoomOut“

Why Your Code Is So Hard to Understand – via CodeProject

Posted by jpluimers on 2015/09/29

Below are the captions, read the full article as it is very well written.

Why your code is hard to understand

  • Problem #1, Overly Complex Mental Models
  • Problem #2, Poor Translation of Semantic Models into Code
    • Class Structure and Names
    • Variable, Parameter and Method Names
    • Single Responsibility Principle (SRP)
    • Appropriate Comments
    • Problem #3, Not Enough Chunking
  • Problem #4, Obscured Usage
  • Problem #5, No Clear Path Between the Different Models
  • Problem #6, Inventing Algorithms
