@Mark Williams I'm genuinely surprised that Error Insight is working for you apart from inline variables. Apart from small (very small) projects this has never been the case for me since they introduced it, back in the day. So I guess...lucky you. I have to disable it every time I install Delphi. *sigh*

This would actually be a great FMX enhancement...

@PeterPanettone? Please! Words like slander are way out of line. I know it's hot, but please keep your cool.

Marco Cantu announced FmxLinux is available for all developers using the Enterprise or Architect versions of Delphi or RADStudio. So go "GetIt"!

Do you consider this type construct to be a smelly code?
Sherlock replied to Clément's topic in Algorithms, Data Structures and Class Design
I only smell "magic numbers" there. Rest looks fine. -
Nope, dates are still "M D Y" including ordinal indicators for the day (June 24th 2019).

Well then get to it. The US have switched to the metric system as of June 2013, when the imperial measurements were rebased to depend on their corresponding metric units. Source: Wikipedia

Just noticed this possible issue with the debugger: I have a simple generic list. Up until 10.2 when debugging I was able to see the items in that list - drill down into them if I wished. But in 10.3.1 the debugger stops at "items", I only see the addresses, but can't view the items anymore, this is a serious break in behavior. Am I missing something? Is there some setting I now have to apply to get the old behavior? Or is this a bug? TIA for any insights. Rio-debugging.mov Tokyo debugging.mov

Well, it was just a guess 🙂 -

And perhaps don't switch the payment context to Europe (it's free anyway). -
The Android 64bit deadline warnings have started
Sherlock replied to Yaron's topic in Cross-platform
Yeah right. Do you really believe "they" will stop developing own tags and/or standards to set themselves apart from the competition? I'll believe it when I see it. Too much has happened since I first browsed the net with NCSA Mosaic on an HP Apollo Workstation (Micky D's was under construction back then... those where the days, man!) -
The Android 64bit deadline warnings have started
Sherlock replied to Yaron's topic in Cross-platform
"The web stuff" is very much dependent on browsers, their versions and manufacturers. That is not something to take lightly. Just look at all the poor folks that have to keep on using IE 10 or even 8 because of dimly written web based applications, that have been published in a fire and forget manner. I would only ever even consider going that way for non critical short lived Apps. -
Increasing registration count not possible without active maintenance support
Sherlock replied to Leif Uneus's topic in Delphi IDE and APIs
I totally agree! This is not something one should just accept/dismiss/ignore/whatever. They will only learn, if they are told what they do wrong. This might not even be ill will on their part. And while writing about the issue in the coolest Delphi forum on the planet is... well, cool. It is not "telling them". This should be done directly. -
A YAML Library for Delphi
Sherlock replied to Erik@Grijjy's topic in Tips / Blogs / Tutorials / Videos
I love and use YAML for the cleanness and built in support for "complex" types such as date time....other than JSON for example. Wrote my own YAML thingy which only covers what I need, but might consider switching to this now.... Thanks for the effort! -

I'm guessing... the USA? It's the origin of this silly action, isn't it? -
Saving a large project takes soooo Loooonnnnggg..
Sherlock replied to Ian Branch's topic in General Help
LiveBindings are a toy, at best, anyway. So don't worry about disabling them. -
Directory Search in Grep Search: Follow Shortcut links
Sherlock replied to PeterPanettone's topic in GExperts
I hope nobody builds infinite loops that way... -
As @Markus Kinzler has pointed out with his announcement, there is a revised roadmap for RadStudio available at: https://community.idera.com/developer-tools/b/blog/posts/rad-studio-roadmap-may-2019 Your two cents may find a home right here 😉

Sure, but they could have stuck to old OpenGL drivers, just because.
-
Of course, I'd be ecstatic otherwise 😉 Concerning the language server complex, I recommend starting in our very own thread on that subject:
-
What's so interesting about that? At this time FMX for mobile devices is rendering via OpenGL. OpenGL in iOS however is deprecated. I don't know the situation in Android, but for iOS this is really good news and leads to faster rendering in Delphi apps.

Delphi LSP, YAY! But also for Delphi 10.4 Metal 2, YAY!! I'm really giddy like little girl, right now.

Amber! Amber was so soothing for the eyes... I really miss it at times.

Sherlock replied to Leif Uneus's topic in Delphi IDE and APIs
Somebody was bound to try it anyway. -
Oh, goody! But I fear the ban of the orange dragon might also befall IDEs...
