Where you? 😉 Seriously though, a down time of three days is unbecoming of a tech company.
-
Yes, we might have to consider changing the header of this thread to (un)available. 😄 The import part getit.embarcadero.com is still denying access and that is where all the fun is stored.
-
Yeah, got that too. Just rolled back my VM and will try again Monday or Tuesday.

@Dalija Prasnikar I would always add Delphi to the search query. But other than that, Ian should now be good to go.

Are there direct links to the web installers? CC is really slow...
-
They are not down...they are just bent by the overwhelming demand.

Oh, goody! Can't pinpoint the exact problems, but I'm guessing soon I might get a project for iOS running again.

What options do I have to control custom releases?
Sherlock replied to Mike Torrettinni's topic in General Help
Sure you can. Give them the bare essentials, until a license is purchased. Or give them the maximum for 10 days, or whatever. -
Why is this code not thread safe (Delphi 7)
Sherlock replied to Yaron's topic in Algorithms, Data Structures and Class Design
This is more of a style thing, but please consider human readability and write while not Terminated do -
RIO: Start Debug Session changes source
Sherlock replied to PeterPanettone's topic in Delphi IDE and APIs
Now that is something one should avoid anyway. Special builds for special customers create special problems. One version for all leads to the same problematic source for all - and generally speaking, source code is always problematic, as soon as it consists of more than "Hello World". -
RIO: Start Debug Session changes source
Sherlock replied to PeterPanettone's topic in Delphi IDE and APIs
Compilation date is rarely useful, only when you don't use "source version" control, you need that information. Your customers surely don't need it. -
UltraCode64 for Delphi (aka 64-bit FastCode)
Sherlock replied to chmichael's topic in RTL and Delphi Object Pascal
I would consider this to be a Stone Soup. So with minor contributions from everyone, this could really be a great thing. It could of course also go the way quite a few open source projects have gone straight towards oblivion, but I tend to look at things positive. I would be happy to contribute "human readable" content such as installation instructions (something lacking in most other OS projects) and so forth. -

To quote the Carpenters We've only just begun -
Amen! Anyway, sorting is just something that pleases the eyes. I only keep the methods sorted within their classes. Anything else I find via Ctrl+f or Shift+Alt+s.

Would you prefer an exception?

It aint always Delphis fault... good to know

But I do hope it's either free, or very inexpensive. Importing CSV is far from being magic. It's more like splitting a String into a TStringlist and trying some StrToInt or StrToFloat... Otherwise, try looking into these threads from the mother ship https://www.delphipraxis.net/51457-csv-editor.html https://www.delphipraxis.net/158355-csvviewer-zum-betrachten-von-csv-dateien.html

@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
