And why has not this been advertised?

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.

A very interesting perspective from Joseph. I wonder how this can be changed..... Listening (and responding) to customers is one of the key reasons I am still in business.

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.

Do mean decimal seps or thousands seps? 

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’s the worst thing about being a developer?

Working in that “other” IDE (of course)!

 

 

 

That is the part I was referring to. 

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

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....

Thanks. Is there a version for 10.4.3 (which I believe is the latest IDE available) in the pipeline ?

Surely you mean 10.3.3  10.4.3 is up next year...

Windows VMs on the M1 ARM seems to a no-go - but that is no surprise.

But - it is a very impressive CPU - Twice the power, and twice the battery time.

At four times the price 🤣😂🤣

Thanks so much to Sherlock for the help you provide in helping me get GetIt to work.  I appreciate it.

Your welcome. Good job reading past the chatter, by the way.👍

Thank you!

 

Is it something that Delphi will catch up on eventually?

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:

Quote

If you use the offline installer, RAD Studio will not be able to access the GetIt Package Manager until you manually switch to "online mode". To do this, we recommend using the GetItCmd.exe tool: GetItCmd.exe -c=useonline

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.

So actually, while looking cool and trendy it really is slow and not so cool at all? I got some refactoring to do... gnarf!

I don't think you can push unless you're on the tip of a branch. Your changes would overwrite the changes made between your current commit and the remote tip.

I guess the remote could do an automatic merge but would that then be made in a new commit or would it alter the commit you made? Doesn't seem likely.

IIRC pushing something not from tip will just open a new branch... but that might also be an optional setting.

1) Because for me there is no better was to see what has changed.
2) When learning how to use git. I don't want to do that live at github.
 

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.

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.

Hi there. XCode 12 has been looming in the AppStore for roughly a week now. Has anyone gotten over themselves and installed it? If so, what did Delphi have to say?

Clearly, it is based on jokes alone. 

Same here. Plus the tons of bots that just randomly like our posts.

Just trying to figure out what level of expertise to expect, and how deep the explanations should go.
