BOOL GetTokenInformation(
  [in]            HANDLE                  TokenHandle,
  [in]            TOKEN_INFORMATION_CLASS TokenInformationClass,
  [out, optional] LPVOID                  TokenInformation,
  [in]            DWORD                   TokenInformationLength,
  [out]           PDWORD                  ReturnLength
);

TokenInformationLength should be the size of the TokenInformationClass?

"rabbit whole" ... /sigh

That is actually quite common, and is why the Tag is a NativeInt to begin with.

Yeah, I guess it is... still, it is a far cry from clean code.

We've given up on HighDPI. It is just not worth the effort and grievance for a project that has entered care and maintenance, even if the users would greatly benefit from it.

I've gone even deeper down the rabbit whole and referenced object instances through the tag... I am not proud of it.

Only the visible rows will render the icon.

You'll should find a 64-bit Midas DLL in your redistributable folder:

Well, the English CoPilot knew. But, the Norwegian one did not.

It supposedly was a trivial question.

I sort of assumed that 16777619 in that code was a prime, but wanted to check...

ChatGPT 4o mini said "No".  



So, I asked CoPilot in Norwegian - and it said "No" (Nei)


On a whim, I then asked it in English

LLMs - Lovely Lying Machines.

I have very few packages (The Parnassus debacles, FastReports, FMXLinux) and a couple of non-packaged (TMS VCL UI Pack, EurekaLog), so I usually just do it manually.

As for FD connections, I have my own wrapper lib that gets the connection points from configs per app (which can be retrieved from wherever I want),

Linkedin is a bit of a self-gloryfying BS echo-chamber so I doubt most developers follow what goes on there.

While I don't disagree with the characterization of LinkedIn, I do find it handy to keep in touch with people I've worked with. 
I've practiced some restraint on adding people, so my list is mostly limited to people I've actually been in touch with.

Also, it has become a fairly interesting place to follow certain companies.

Had to reinstall TMS VCL UI Pack, but EurekaLog appears to be ok...

set the Name property of your frame to something unique

I use a global function GetNextInstanceNumber to get and increment a integer variable and just set the name to Self.ClassName+'_'+GetNextInstanceNumber.ToString;

Make sure to uninstall the Parnassus plugins before installing the patch.

Note that the Frame instance should have its parent set to Owner as well.

InterBase does not support "AUTO_INCREMENT".

It seems you can emulate auto increment, using a trigger and a generator?

How about an untyped Multiplier and

MULTIPLIED_CONSTANT = 1E-11 * NativeInt(MULTIPLIER);

?

Naturally, I forgot about the Parnassus components, otherwise no issues - although FMXLinux was absent in GetIt?

I mostly use CoPilot to extract the stuff I need from massive amounts of documentation.
I sometimes use it to summarize key info from a large text.

I currently don't use it much for programming, but I would like to use it for explaining "what does this do", or for getting suggestions to improve code.

Works the same way for Uwe for me as well.

Ad-blocker issue?

If only there was some way to communicate stuff like that to their users...

It is hard, even in smaller companies.  Erosion of responsiblilty...

And back... something is not right.

Can't say I see these issues right now?

@lope Will there be an ERP, backoffice/accounting system behind the POS solution, or is it intended to be a single software solution?

Will you need multiple stations? Multiple sign-ins? Scanners? Weights?

Many of your suggested MVP items typically belong to an ERP or backoffice solution.

There probably also are a number of existing POS solutions to be found - so unsure why anyone would start reinventing the wheel.

I mean, the absolute MVP is a simple till and handwritten receipts with carbon copies...
