Speed tweaking Advent of Code Day 8 by HumanEquivalentUnit on December 8th
Advent of Code spoilers ahead! This is a fun walk through the thought process of solving some of these code puzzles. Useful if you’re stuck on day 8, and still something to learn here if you’re just curious.
The following was recently posted in the Slack team for PowerShell + DevOps Global Summit 2018. Yesterday, we invited all current registered Summiteers into the Slack team; if you missed your invitation, please email summit@ (this website’s domain name) with your email address (ideally a personal one, not work) and your Eventbrite order number. We’ll be happy to re-send the invite. Another reminder for all @here - please go to http://leanpub.com/summiteermanual/ and “buy” the book (for $0, of course), and enable the option to have Leanpub notify you via email of updates. That’s The Summiteer Manual, and it’s our best way to provide a consolidated view of everything that happens at Summit. From understanding how we handle special dietary requests, to understanding what “Iron Scripter” is all about, it’s the best way to take advantage of all that goes on. Summit is a **lot** more than just great breakout sessions, but it’s very easy to “miss out” on things if you don’t know they’re available. We update this a lot as we get closer, and will even be including information (and possible discounts) on stuff around the Puget Sound area for early/late arrivals who want to see some sights. A week or two out, it’s not even a bad idea to make sure your phone/tablet/laptop has a copy to refer to (Leanpub offers PDF/MOBI/EPUB formats), and some folks even print a copy to bring along.
Topics include watching Bitcoin plummet in the shell, getting maintenance plan info out of SQL, setting up automated access to AWS, and more…

Transferring Functions with PSRemoting by Joel Francis on November 2nd
What do you do when you’re in a remote session and you need to bring a custom function over? You could write it up on the remote side but that sounds a lot like work.
