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.

Hi, check out our "Code of Conduct" on the bottom of the page. Or in this link: https://en.delphipraxis.net/guidelines/

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

Algorithms. Irrational numer storage.Playing with 6 axis robot.
Sherlock replied to skyzoframe[hun]'s topic in Algorithms, Data Structures and Class Design
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. -
Delphi support for Google Protocol Buffers?
Sherlock replied to Lars Fosdal's topic in Algorithms, Data Structures and Class Design
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. -
Where is the link to register to the forum?
Sherlock replied to FPiette's topic in Community Management
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. -
Delphi support for Google Protocol Buffers?
Sherlock replied to Lars Fosdal's topic in Algorithms, Data Structures and Class Design
Yet another structured data serializing standard. I'll keep using slow but (human) readable YAML. 😁 -
Where is the link to register to the forum?
Sherlock replied to FPiette's topic in Community Management
Yeah, I'll suggest that, internally. -
Where is the link to register to the forum?
Sherlock replied to FPiette's topic in Community Management
Yepp, that's the status quo. Spammers are getting really creative and until we (well, mostly @Daniel) can't find a practical solution, registration will stay closed. Sorry about that. -
Yeah, I'm sorry, but that is not how this forum works. If every question would be resolved via PM, anyone looking for an answer to the same questions would get to find nothing here... and have no motivation to share his knowledge in this forum.

Is it possible to create a VPN client/server in Delphi?
Sherlock replied to Clément's topic in RTL and Delphi Object Pascal
Considering the simple fact that a VPN access point would be exposed to the entire Internet with its sh*tload of malevolent entities out there just waiting to pounce on just another self made "secure" server I would not touch this project with a ten foot pole and oven mits...and a hazmat suit. Just introduce your pal to WireGuard and be done with it. -
The forum search requires single words to be at least 4 letters. Sorry, there is not much to do about it. You can try searching less broad by using more than one keyword i.e. "IDE freeze"

String comparison in HashTable
Sherlock replied to Tommi Prami's topic in Algorithms, Data Structures and Class Design
This is a highly specialized subject and neither my job nor my personal interests got me all to involved in this area of computer science. So as a layman, if I understand this correctly, he'll have to go back to the drawing board, as soon as he discovers characters are now UTF8, UTF16 or even UTF32, because his finely tuned algorithm is designed for single byte characters. Or is it as easy as switching data types? -
Oh, darn. I'm just lucky nobody depends on my numbers then...

And for this reason floating point numbers should not be checked for equality without an 𝛆. So in (our) Delphi world: https://docwiki.embarcadero.com/RADStudio/Alexandria/en/Floating-Point_Comparison_Routines

Delphi job req I just got
Sherlock replied to David Schwartz's topic in Job Opportunities / Coder for Hire
That is actually not as horrible as you might think. In fact the exact opposite, once you work with more than two folks on a project AND need to save time on discussions about who changed what and why. On a side note: ISO 9001 is a joke, try ISO 13485 and IEC 62304 for a less fun time. -
Splitting up quotes doesn't work anymore
Sherlock replied to Remy Lebeau's topic in Community Management
Perhaps @Daniel has a solution? -
Splitting up quotes doesn't work anymore
Sherlock replied to Remy Lebeau's topic in Community Management
Quoting is indeed rather tedious. But a workaround for this might be the possibility to write an answer and select blocks from the original post and then click quote selection. Works pretty good, and will give you the result you wanted, without all the Copypasta. -
[Delphi] Looking for a Delphi Profiler in 2023

Well, this thread is from 2020, but it still might give you some pointers: -

Trap TFDConnection error on data module create etc?
Sherlock replied to Chris1701's topic in Databases
Is there no "DesignConnection" property? I recall using DOA components from AllroundAutomation 20 years ago that had this nifty feature. -
Warning: Windows Update KB5028166 breaks NT Domains
Sherlock replied to dummzeuch's topic in Tips / Blogs / Tutorials / Videos
At least you don't have to throw out a 6k$ scanner/printer because it can only scan to folders via SMB1. And it is not just someone that deems SMB1 insecure, it is the majority of users. -
Warning: Windows Update KB5028166 breaks NT Domains
Sherlock replied to dummzeuch's topic in Tips / Blogs / Tutorials / Videos
To be fair, Microsoft has declared SMBV1 deprecated as early as 2014 And recent installations of Wins 10 and 11 have SMBV1 deactivated by default. Finally killing it now altogether seems logic and overdue. And if you ask Ned Pyle (Microsofts guy in charge of this) you should have gotten rid of it years ago: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/storage-at-microsoft/stop-using-smb1/ba-p/425858 https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/storage/file-server/troubleshoot/smbv1-not-installed-by-default-in-windows -
