Hire Mac build agents for ios development on Windows

If you arent so keen on a Mac (and using Visual Studio for Mac) but do ios development then you can hire build agents over at MacinCloud for VSTS. I’ve frequently also hired Mac’s there as I don’t have a Mac myself but still do osx and ios related development.

Add host entry with one line of PowerShell

I often find myself working with host entries and honestly, I always hated looking for the darn hosts file. I would add entries for blocking sites, working with subdomains locally (for local development), get around the Chrome localhost cookie problem, redirecting and more. With the import of a module I can now do that work without having to directly edit the file.
