Does anybody know of an automated xdotool script generator? Ideally, I would like to record a series of actions on my desktop and have it automatically made into an xdotool script for me instead of manually adding pauses and counting pixels, etc.
I can't say for sure without knowing more about what you want to do, but I think you might want to use xmacro instead. There is a good tutorial here:
http://linuxpoison.blogspot.in/2012/03/record-play-keystrokes-and-mouse.html
Here's a summary:
# Start recording macro.
xmacrorec2 > macro.txt
# Select a keystroke to end the macro.
# Do stuff.
# End the macro with the previously chosen keystroke.
And to run the macro:
xmacroplay $DISPLAY < macro.txt
The blog post notes that timing information is not recorded.

I need less to display a file without any additional formatting characters.
I found the --tilde option, which got rid of the ~ characters.
Now I only need to get rid of the:
(END)
or
<filename> (END)
at the and of the page.
I am happy to recompile less , if somebody can suggest what needs to be changed in the sourcecode.
I am using less 487 on Debian 10.
You configure the prompt with -P, for instance, this will no longer show the filename or END (but still the :):
less -P ''

rundll32 url.dll,FileProtocolHandler https://bsu.by
What does each word mean and why does it eventually open this link in the default browser?
It's a rather old utility that loads a DLL (with LoadLibrary), finds an exported function (GetProcAddress), makes its best guess about the expected parameter types from the looks of its command line, and invokes said function. In this case, since there's one parameter and it's not a number, rundll would assume - a single string (LPCWSTR).

What is the preferred way to debug the RED prog lang code? Is there a RED debugger?
There's no debugger AFAIK, but there are functions that can help you with debugging. Take a look at these two articles, they should help you:
https://github.com/red/red/wiki/Debugging
https://github.com/red/red/wiki/How-to-Debug:-A-use-case-by-#DocKimbel
Basically you should use inbuilt functions like probe, ??, dump4, stack/dump or print-symbol.
You can also turn various debugging info with system/preprocessor/debug?: on, system/view/debug?: on and system/reactivity/debug?: on.

I am trying to query Windows Event log for events and am a bit stuck at which approach to use. Windows Developer documentation lists two examples (and approaches) of querying log data.
Querying for Events
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa385650%28v=vs.85%29.aspx
using EvtQuery function
Querying for Event Information
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/bb427356%28v=vs.85%29.aspx
If anyone has experience querying for event data, are these two approaches equal? Or is any of them outdated or not recommended for actual use? I am new to Windows programming and not really found any recommendations regarding any of these approaches on MSDN.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa385650%28v=vs.85%29.aspx using EvtQuery function
The difference is in the use of header. This approach is simpler but you will need to design either an XML or structured XML query.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/bb427356%28v=vs.85%29.aspx
If you need more flexibility in the format of the returned events (like time stamp format) use this approach. This is harder but gives more flexibility if you need control over the format of the extracted data.

I would like a shell script that does a quick upload/download speed check of my current connection, similar to the functionality of the website speedtest.net, but without the flash and the fancy graphics. It doesn't need to be super fancy or accurate, just give me a rough idea of what I'm working with. Any languages that are commonly supported in any shell will be fine.
wget --output-document=/dev/null http://speedtest.wdc01.softlayer.com/downloads/test500.zip
wget-ing a large file is the way to do it. ie the above
you will see something like this:
3% [> ] 19,207,452 1.38M/s eta 5m 43s
according to this test mine is a 1.38m/s
