Next time, perhaps consider using a VM. Snapshot before the update and, if it fails, just revert. Easy peasy nice and breazy.

What is it wasting? Seriously.

Great work! I'm guessing you zoomed away from the object inspector on purpose, because you are not quite done yet? It would be great to see what's happening there otherwise.

Or Zip with AES encryption...

The larger is a debug build, the smaller isn't. Why the debug build does not run as expected, whereas the release build does, is just a matter of checking the different build settings.

Yeah, Embarcadero sometimes fights with their servers. They'll come around eventually. I guess Delphi 12 is lurking, and the servers are being prepped for it.

Now there is the rub! A 64Bit IDE will be experimental at best. Quite the contrary to a stable IDE. Just consider the introduction of DelphiLSP. Now that Baby started birthing more than three years ago, and it is still not "robust". I'd prefer them to fix the 32Bit IDE to reach a robust stage over them pulling resources to that new construction site.

Lets say...sub par 😄

@GringoStarr Please refrain from posting the same question in different subforums for your own benefit. It will just divide attention.

Well, the main reason on the Embarcadero side would be that the IDE in its current state is not generated from on single codebase in one single language, but is a patchwork of more or less pretty quilts assembled to look like a single piece of software. Some of those patchy things have not been touched in quite some time (this is just a guess on my part, but it is an educated one). Lazarus on the other hand is dogfooding at its best.

To be honest, that is also the only driving force behind change requests (language XY has it) as well - hyperbolically speaking.

Sorry, but that wont do to run the simulator. It is ARM only - meaning you'll need Apple Silicone to run it.

Have you tried running your App in the simulator?

Slow your horses folks. Let's keep it clean and neutral.

Surprisingly (or not), this argument leads to spending more time with legacy code over time than rewriting from scratch. At least that has been my observation for the past 20 years.

Considering hate stems mostly from envy, I can live with that. I guess it used to be, but for quite some time it's more convoluted. As the number of queries only reflects on poor documentation, steep learning curve and hype. So...no wonder that is not used anymore, but how else could one measure a languages popularity compared to others? Number of books published on the subject? Sales? I'm glad I don't have to come up with some language rating scheme...

That portal is prone to hiccups. Sometimes it wants me to solve dozens of captchas before finally letting me through other times it forgets me, but most of the times it works just fine. Just be patient with it.

Last time the site was up was roughly in July of 23 according to the Wayback machine: https://web.archive.org/web/20230712231651/http://addictive-software.com/index.htm Sadly the site provided zero information about the manufacturer (like an imprint or some "About us" blaba) and neither does the current registration information https://www.whois.com/whois/addictive-software.com

Just released: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/powertoys/ so at least on one level they (MS) seem to be keen on supporting this architecture.

Good work. Generally high blood pressure is considered a silent killer. It almost did me in three years ago. So check it regularly!

I feel like the size of the structures or movements are almost irrelevant as long as you don't change magnitudes. As @Leif Uneus said, integers could be enough. Any calculations could be done on the fly, as movements are almost always slower than calculating speed.

I know, I know. Hence the Face. But I just love that I can quickly rule out transportation errors by looking at the payload. On the other hand, my payload is rarely bigger than a few kilobytes.

And registrations are open again...and spammers are back. Please be vigilant guys, and we'll try to react and delete as fast as possible.

Yet another structured data serializing standard. I'll keep using slow but (human) readable YAML. 😁
