Given that you pay for its service, rather than the software itself, I assume it does.

Yeah... it is not the only tool we have that is subscription based, is it... 😛

I've become very fond of GitKraken, which is adding improvements and features every month. https://help.gitkraken.com/gitkraken-client/current/#version-8-7-0

@Fr0sT.Brutal The TJson RTTI to Json conversion doesn't work with the property names, but with the field names. See @Uwe Raabe's example that shows where the JSON name mangling is done by attributes.

I assume you are in control of both ends of the communication. I'd compress and encrypt instead of bothering with obfuscation.

So, it was not the operator, but the type the operator operated on.

Maybe you need to cast the 1 to uint64 too? Edit: Checked - It works with function bit(idx,value: uint64): Boolean; begin Result := ((uint64(1) shl idx) and value) <> 0; end;

I'd watch the video... and rant about it afterwards 😉

Anyways, ARC has gone the way of the Dodo. Free(AndNil) it is.

Just .DisposeOf's... and the reoccuring questions about why objects doesn't self-destruct (after you have intentionally or unintentionally made references that keeps it alive.

I use FreeAndNil, unless the object is handled by a try/finally block, or it is in a destructor. It speeds up finding stupid mistakes in loops or singletons.

It is called off-topic 😛

If you can programmatically add an index - i.e. without using SQL - it should work - but I've never tried it.

Ghostery shows the link on a confirmation page for me to decide on whether to continue or not.

There is a tracker redirect behind that link. AdBlockers hate those.

In https://docwiki.embarcadero.com/RADStudio/Sydney/en/Local_SQL_(FireDAC) the "Query" section seems to indicate that it does not?

True, it is only a problem if you pass the values around to be modified.

A warning: Using records instead of objects in containers carries the penalty of duplication. LabelRecord1.iValue:= 123; LabelRecord1.iColor := 234; LabelMatrix[1,1] := LabelRecord1; LabelRecord1.iColor := 567; At this point, LabekMatrix{1,1].iColor will still be 234. It is the same the other way around. Modify the array value, and the variable stays unchanged. A workaround would be to use pointers. type PLabelRecord = ^TLabelRecord; and use variables and arrays of that type. You would need to New/Dispose each reference, but at least there is no duplication as you pass around the pointer reference to the original allocation instead of copying the record like in the original example.

Are there file references in the project that points to a fileshare that may or may not exist?

Temporarily disabling the ad-blocker solved that for me.

EMBT are playing with their cards tightly held to their vest - which I guess is a tactic to avoid getting negative feedback for not delivering something that they put on the roadmap but didn't get time to do. I wish EMBT were more open and better at communicating their plans - but if you are a subscriber, I recommend joining in on any beta invite that you may receive. Please note, though, that those that get invited must sign NDAs - so it is like Fight Club: Rule #1 - Don't talk about Fight Club. But yeah... Public indicative roadmaps would be great.

This site focuses on Delphi. It is more likely you get the info you need for Lazarus here: https://forum.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php?action=forum

In theory - except there is an OS layer there somewhere.

When MS is actually porting VS to Native ARM for Windows - there is no doubt that they are serious about ARM this time. I am running the Windows for ARM preview on my MBP 16" M1 Pro. And I am now also running VS 2022 for MacOS - which already is ARM64 🙂

When creating frames runtime in VCL, there are a set of tweaks that need to be applied to make the frame behave properly after creation (setting parent/owner etc). Are there similar tricks needed for FireMonkey, and are there other pitfalls related to dynamically creating frames at runtime? Is it better to drop the frames on the main form at design time?
