    Any Known Issues with ZCompressStream?

    It is no coincidence that checksums were invented.

    Unit scope names in IDE - possible 2+ lines?

    Nope, it has nothing to do with santiago's except the idea is stolen. It's a working plugin without any OTA conventions so it's ugly and would be harder to maintain. But the OTA is somewhat limited to get this plugin thin and versatile, so I had to go this way. Also, getting the breakpoint list from Parnassus depends on code which was bought by emba and gone under without a ripple. 😞

    @Dinar It's not just me! 😉 Well, then just press Ctrl+Alt+ArrowUp or Down 😉

    @Dinar :)) Sorry, looks like I'm in write only mode 🙂

    Records, Generics and RTTI meets FireDAC

    @Lars Fosdal I heard that several times and I still can't imagine why not a middle tier, why sp's?

    string helpers question

    Mind the declaration of those helper routines. The ones needing a parameter are for sure class methods, thus they will as work with aStr.xyz() as with String.xyz(); In this case the ToLower is non-class method, LowerCase is. Now if you wonder why are they called differently, try boolean.ToString(True); and once you found out what is happening try not to scream.
  9. I'm having problems with importing bmecat_2005.dtd under Berlin U3. There are a couple of definitions like: <!ELEMENT GROUP_NAME (#PCDATA)> <!ATTLIST GROUP_NAME lang %langQUALIFIERS; #IMPLIED> which should be a string with an attribute "lang", like: <GROUP_NAME lang="deu">My Group Name</GROUP_NAME> Now, Delphi creates GROUP_NAME as a class with a single property of "lang", so I can't assign a value ("My Group Name") to this element. Am I missing something or is this built in importer a bit retarded? Is there any better tool to create the Delphi classes? thx Edit: Ahh, "class.Text" is the way to go, I had forgotten it, but now I remember.

    Best Practices for FireDAC FetchMode/RecordCount Settings

    Ahm, what kind of bull*** is calling a count(*) prior to the actual selection? Who guarantees that the two results will be the same?

    git workflow question

    Maybe "git diff" and "git blame" would show something useful. You are a team of developers and go with "something is messed up" statements? Usually this come from the clients.

    Securing your data over time

    Me too. Also funny one. Especially that you don't understand why would one use an online service to make a complementary/secondary cold-backup in a different geographical location, then you answer your own question in 2 minutes with the burglars.

    Looking for Icon Fonts support in Delphi for High-DPI and Themed app?

    Are you sure that the font has to be installed? I'm loading a custom font from the resources and it's working fine: // Load custom Fonts before creating any forms ResStream := TResourceStream.Create(hInstance, 'MONTSERRAT_MEDIUM', RT_RCDATA); try AddFontMemResourceEx(ResStream.Memory, ResStream.Size, nil, @FontsCount); finally ResStream.Free; end;
  16. Exactly this is the way I would prefer like David says. If you change xVal to something meaningful, you will see why: Result := isDog or isCat or isHorse;
  17. As you are always obfuscating your code with love, I can't imagine why didn't you go with Result := Ord(a) + Ord(b) + Ord(c) + Ord(Result) > 0;

    That one with the FireDAC is more interesting. We will definitely need more moderators 😛

    usually the credentials are stolen from the client pc's where they are stored antivir's are crap multiple cold backups stored in different geographical locations are backups, everything else is just delusion
