Beyond Compare 4 is by far my favorite. I have used several over the years with varying results but BC4 is accurate and can be configured specifically for different applications.
The free version these days has a 30 days(usage days) license, plenty of time to get used to it and its afforable besides.

I have been using Beyond Compare for over 2 decades. Nothing else has ever compared  to it.

I've been using <a href="https://sourcegear.com/diffmerge/">SourceGear Diffmerge</a>[<a href="https://sourcegear.com/diffmerge/" target="_blank">^</a>] for many years now. It's free and it works well on Windows, Linux and OSX. It will compare either files or folders of files.

diffuse for simple file comparisons, merging.
winmerge for dirs and word docs +.
both free.
no code integration.

Visual studio's, since it's right there always.
In the command window (View>Other Windows>Command window) type Tools.DiffFiles <filepath1> <filepath2>

Retired now but I used the JDiffPlugin in JEdit (my favorite text editor). The editor is very configurable and has a ton of plugins available. The JDiffPlugin was very well integrated with the editor.

For Windows users => I've used all the free ones and while they are great, Araxis Merge is hands down the best I've used so far. Note I haven't used Beyond Compare because I didn't know it existed until just now. It looks like it has even more features and is cheaper, so I might consider changing at my next upgrade.
In the mean time yes Araxis Merge costs, but as a professional it's what I need and it's not in the thousands of dollars range - also I only need to worry about the upgrade price.
I love the interface and going between folder comparison to file comparison, the white noise handling options. And I love the keyboard shortcuts to speed up processing of big changes. 3 way comparisons. I've submitted feature requests, which have implemented - so that's awesome. One not so obvious feature is image comparison - very cool!
And I really love the line between the chunk of codes that's different, so that you can scroll each side independently and not be forced into the merge tool trying to line it up for you and getting lost.
My single biggest complaint with Araxis Merge is the purchasing / payment / upgrade path is clunky. To upgrade you have to email your request - why? Working in Sydney means my upgrade takes minimum 1 day to get a response and that's before payment and downloading? It's truly annoying if you run into problems and all you want to do is just do a merge. Fortunately in the whole 10 years of ownership it has only happened once, when I've been without Araxis Merge for a few days. But still - it would be nice if they simplified this process.

I've used a lot over many years and most are pretty good, some excellent.
I currently rely on Deltawalker because I do a lot of work on MacOS.

I'm not sure where to pose this question, as it's not exactly a programming question but I'm looking for APIs that can return weather information, and I was wondering if any of you have ones that you've used that you can recommend? I want something with an easy to digest api (no SOAP for example, and no complex auth) and free so that I can use it in my IoT project.
Also it should be easy to specify gps cordinates or something for getting local weather.

Thanks! I just subscribed to that one and it looks great! The only problem is now I need to get GPS coords for an IP and the service I've found (geoIp) is pay to play. It's not the cost, but the fact that this is a demo project. I'd like to keep things free instead of per request.

That's nearly ideal! Thanks so much! I did find one that returned CSV which is easier to parse, but this could work. =)

For them Dutch (or those that can translate using Google);
KNMI - Data ophalen vanuit een script[^]
Download CSV with temp, rain, local windspeed, all that stuff. Dunno if other countries do, but that data is paid for with tax money and thus available to the general public.
