I'm pretty sure any Army employing women as fighter pilots has put them through the same tests and training as men, it would be recklessly stupid otherwise. That said, I am still convinced that the strongest man is stronger than the strongest woman. As can be seen in sports - athletics specifically. But our line of work is not really physically challenging, is it? Lets just concentrate on that.

There goes another enshittification. And we all get to watch it live and in color.

BTT: Just consider that "imaginary" Blog as a To-Do list of improvements

I have a feeling the specifications have not been clear enough to the folks that answered, because https://stackoverflow.com/questions/76472056/exclude-specific-folder-from-file-search-in-delphi

I read this with mixed feelings. Firstly it's cool, that reinforced learning can come up with "faster sorting" but then... It is kind of irritating, that a code review was not able to find those improvements in "ALPHA DEV swap move".

They are the ones that came up with all this...go figure. Back to the 100k/yr example: Everything that has been deducted so far is just taxes. What about social security (healthcare, pension, unemployment)?

Windows ARM <> Windows x86 Windows ARM in this case is much closer to Android.

I keep asking and keep getting responses, and when my questions where unclear or something else was lacking, this was communicated to me in a neutral tone (people who can hear a tone in any written statement are peculiar) and I fixed that. Almost all of my questions have been answered, and I myself have been able to provide an answer too...once or twice. So for me SO is a valuable resource that should not go to waste by allowing fake answers. Just how exactly does that work? Did they hack Stack Exchange to gain mod privileges? And Stack Exchange can't be bothered to check?

"Does not seem to work" how do you deduce this? Do you see error messages, get unexpected behavior? If so, what are the errors, what behavior do you expect, and what is happening instead of that?

I am not blind, I know what he asked. But to just come up with code without perhaps improving the overall style or at least pointing out what is wrong with it just seems careless. But do as you please, if it makes you happy.

Why would anyone choose to limit reusability of a method clearly screaming for reusability by arbitrarily dropping a TListbox into the parameter list? TStringlist as a result for a function is just fine, and that can be used to fill TListbox.Items without major surgery. You whip out source code faster than I can think @programmerdelphi2k, but sometimes slowing down and perhaps not propagate code smells to obvious newcomers, seems a wiser choice.

Granted, TCP/IP is not a real end-to-end connection. But the transferring nodes only get encrypted SSL traffic nowadays anyway. So that is a non-issue and has nothing to do with where real hosts and servers are located, and who is operating them. Politicians might be somewhat out of touch with reality, but in this case I am all for the GDPR.

Definitely! For example I would not enjoy working for some weapons manufacturer. And I have no love for accounting either... I love medical devices, so that's my home. No other job would interest me, no matter what the pay or work environment.

OK, now that is a thing. You had a license back in 2014 and somehow lost it. Perhaps that is a basis to communicate with the folks over at Nevrona.

Use a different event. Or only count down after a significant amount of frames...

I split off the very recent semi on topic question to form its own thread to here:

Agrred. But with two StringLists whose Items correspond Item by Item there is clearly no room for interpretation. But, lets let the TE clarify... @giomach has either been overwhelmed by the answers or is carefully formulating a response right now.

OK, but it should be clear, that for every "C" you will always get a "Pear". Which leads to data hygiene and no use for doubles.

@georges pletinckx I really feal you should elaborate on your question, but keep in mind that we do not support software piracy here in any way. I guess your project was created using the BE (bundled or borland edition) of Rave Reports back in the olden days. You'll just have to bite the bullet and install one of those old Delphis.

It sort of was: So the TDictionary approach is sound.

I know that, I just considered it to be funny...hence the grin.

A post with that many downvotes is usually closed... ...just sayin'.

I'd like to think, that the "Delphi is fast" statement refers to compile times (only). But then I compile for anything other than Win32 and grow silent again....

@Brian Evans I'm betting that @Uwe Raabe is referring to this https://www.uweraabe.de/Blog/2014/09/09/the-garbled-path-variable/

Oh, I see it, believe me. And I'm looking forward to making more money by fixing stuff this so called AI breaks. Nothing wrong there.
