Show of hands: Who mucks up their code with thousands separators? Or would that one accountant who happens to dabble in Delphi please stand up!

What it's like to be a Delphi Developer
Sherlock replied to Joe C. Hecht's topic in Tips / Blogs / Tutorials / Videos
Well, he could be referring to IDLE... but that is a long shot. π -
PAServer Error: file permissions do not allow debugging
Sherlock replied to ChrisChuah's topic in Cross-platform
I believe you need to give the PAServer read permission for the files in your scratch folder. Check permissions for PAServer in the Settings of your Mac. These permissions may get lost after an update of either the Mac or the respective application. -
Honestly, I feel this right here is the best place to get information like that π

Yes. Since September....

Surely you mean 10.3.3 10.4.3 is up next year...

At four times the price π€£ππ€£

Your welcome. Good job reading past the chatter, by the way.π

Sure, but then XCode 13 will be out....

Oh boy. Let's stop it right here, before this gets extragalactic off topic.

Whenever I'm in IDLE, I'm yearning to get back to the Delphi IDE. And IDLE really isn't that old, it's way younger than Delphi. It can always get worse...

Did you install using an ISO image? If so have to enabled GetIt to go online? Please find the following in the Delphi 10.4.1 release notes:

Is variable value kept after For.. in ... do loop?
Sherlock replied to Mike Torrettinni's topic in RTL and Delphi Object Pascal
Ah well, I chose Delphi because I like it. π And if I can avoid a slow down whilst using Delphi I will try to do so. So thanks for the insight, and probably I'll do some benchmarking for my specific application, just to see if this refactoring is justified. -

Sherlock replied to Mike Torrettinni's topic in RTL and Delphi Object Pascal
So actually, while looking cool and trendy it really is slow and not so cool at all? I got some refactoring to do... gnarf! -
git - do you 'pull' before/after switching branches?
Sherlock replied to David Schwartz's topic in General Help
IIRC pushing something not from tip will just open a new branch... but that might also be an optional setting. -
git - do you 'pull' before/after switching branches?
Sherlock replied to David Schwartz's topic in General Help
1) That is what a diff tool is for. 2) Of course learning should be done with your own repository and your own server. But learning should also involve avoiding wrong uncomfortable patterns. And what you are doing is simply a waste of time and space. Everything you want to accomplish can be done with your first repository alone. -

Sherlock replied to David Schwartz's topic in General Help
You can pull anytime you feel you need to update your local repository. This does not change what you are currently working on. It is however frowned upon to push your work without pulling and merging recent changes into it. But that might depend on team size and individual work flows. -
Hi there. XCode 12 has been looming in the AppStore for roughly a week now. Has anyone gotten over themselves and installed it? If so, what did Delphi have to say?
-
Same here. Plus the tons of bots that just randomly like our posts.

Just trying to figure out what level of expertise to expect, and how deep the explanations should go.

Do you know how to add any text to a TStringGrid? Do you know how to read the contents of a TEdit?

New feature request: Open dfm as Text if malformed (vote if care)
Sherlock replied to Tommi Prami's topic in Delphi IDE and APIs
Binary DFM are devils work and must be burnt at the stake whilst vigorously waving pitchforks and shouting obscenities. Version control systems handle them poorly (not that text DFMs are far better in this regard, but, you can manage, once you move any pictures to a datamodule). Actually they are just binary blobs most of the time and will consume unnecessary storage Everything else, the other guys said -
No unusual stuff happening on my end. But I don't have deepest insight into the machine running the server. However it it seems more likely your cookies need some cleaning up.

@Angus Robertson He has been there...

To distinguish between add-ons and components is like distinguishing between records and classes - a good thing to ease discussions with your peers.
