Just to capture the gossip 🙂

Another option: REST server used by REST client (thick or thin)

I used to use VMWare for Workstation on Windows years ago, but haven't looked back after switching to Hyper-V, running Windows 11 in the VMs. I use Parallells on my MBP M1, running Windows 11 for ARM in the VMs.

Except they are not new products (I've opted out from everything but RAD Studio).

If you have a need for updating a wider range of data, synchronously or asynch, to clients - combining MQTT with Kafka is really powerful. https://medium.com/python-point/mqtt-and-kafka-8e470eff606b

TMS MQTT sounds like a good choice. Disclaimer: I have not used it myself. But - plan ahead for service discovery. Query a discovery server for a valid endpoint config. Query again if a new discovery server is detected. Query that server for the actual MQTT connection to use, then connect. Because, servers come and go.

curl -F emulates filling content on a web page and pressing enter. I've not used -F before, so I am not sure if the reference 'item' in 'item=something' identifies the field to be filled, and that the right side is what it should be filled with?

Why? It is stupid and annoying.

It is odd that it works with remote debug symbols enabled, though.

Something else I find annoying. EMBT insists on mailing me offers for products that I already subscribe to. Why? What are the odds that someone would add another license for Delphi at Black Friday, Week, Month, Xmas time, insert price reduction opportunity here?

Personally, I would probably not use such tools. The move from one visual component lib to another on a different platform is going to cause headaches. You would not want to do direct DB from a mobile device, you often can't use tabs and dialogs the same way - the UI form factor is different, touch vs mouse is different. If the biz logic is done in separate classes, such a move is not difficult to do manually. If it is tightly intertwined with GUI code - you will have a job on your hands. As for the state of Mida - the last update on their forums were in April 2019?

There have been a large number of theories about why this happened. File format has been ruled out. Windows Policy may be relevant - but with a workaround, I am not going to dig deeper.

Well, I didn't spot one - so none from me. A binary editor could be used to create one?

On a different note: Delphi-PRAXiS is not social media platform, so please stay on topic and contribute facts rather than speculation. Edit: I am not naming names - if you feel that I am addressing you, well, maybe I am 😛

Add FMXLinux to the GetIt packages that needs to be uninstalled before an upgrade.

@Uwe Raabe I can reveal that I am a happy user of Project Magician 🙂 - Option checked. No change.

Possible causes? A developer on a non-corporate laptop does not have this problem. Another developer on corporate laptops have the same problem as me on both new and old laptops. That seems to indicate a Windows policy may be a factor here. Anyways - Include remote debug symbols ticked gave back working breakpoints for us.

What is the default setting for Project | Options | Linking | Include remote debug symbols? It was off. On = I can debug. Locally.

I thought this was a new problem... then I tried on the old laptop again. Guess what - it fails in the same way there as well.

The size of the project does not seem relevant. The one that fails is about 600k lines. The tiny ones works just fine, as does the larger 1100k lines one.

Line endings was wrong at first (Thanks for nothing, GitHub) - but was corrected with a setting in GitKraken. The compiler warns if there if f.x. only LF instead of CRLF - but how to guard against a lonely CR?

I can't make sense of that statement.

Opened another, larger project. 1.1+ million lines. No problems. Debugs fine. Didn't even touch the .dproj.

Switched to Release, builded, exited Delphi. Restarted Delphi, switched to Debug, builded, ran - no change. No weird characters. Opens fine in TextPad, Notepad, VS Code and IDE.
