Yeah, scratch my remark, please. USB-C is Thunderbolt compatible.

Anyone with no need for USB peripherals I guess...

Delphi 11.0 Alexandria produces more compact x64 executables than 10.4.2 Sydney !
Sherlock replied to A.M. Hoornweg's topic in Delphi IDE and APIs
I am very happy about noticeable changes in the compiler. It means they really still care. It's just not my main concern to save one or two megabytes here or there. But I do understand folks that really need it, hence the "broader audience" part in my post... some really need small executables. There is a whole Non-VCL movement out there, that denies themselves the VCL for reasons of exe sizes (among other reasons, I am sure). But, they might not profit from these changes... -

Sherlock replied to A.M. Hoornweg's topic in Delphi IDE and APIs
While it is a nice thing for some, ever since the use of floppy disks for data exchange has dwindled, the broader audience does not really care about exe sizes. -
So, what is left is separating application logic from UI.

Oh, that's easy...decrease sales to a noticeable amount. But old timey companies with the "we do everything right" attitude owned by new timey "generate revenue or bust" corporations would die over that in an instant. So everything should go on the way it has always gone... move on, nothing to see here.

Yet another way to look at it: Wow! Many folks still use Delphi and are eager to use the newest release as well. So.... not dead! EoD.

D'uh! Thousands....thanks for pointing that out.🤦♂️

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

Well, he could be referring to IDLE... but that is a long shot. 😄 -
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 😊

Yes. Since September....

Surely you mean 10.3.3 10.4.3 is up next year...
-
At four times the price 🤣😂🤣
-
Your welcome. Good job reading past the chatter, by the way.👍
-
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. 😄 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.
