Retina users, this fixes your fan issue: Apple Releases Retina MacBook Pro SMC Update (via: Mac Rumors)

Posted by jpluimers on 2013/03/14

Today, Apple released SMC version 1.1 for MacBook Pro machines that especially Retina owners will like: it fixes their fan issue that has been present for months, but caused some stir lately.

Apple rushed this update. In fact, it is so new, not even EFI and SMC firmware updates for Intel-based MacsĀ lists it.

It affects both mid 2012 and early 2013 models.

This is how to update:

I had the same problem with the basic installation. Just do the OSX updates from the App Store and the problem will disappear.

Lots of users are reporting the below SMC update fixes the fan issue.

It worked for my MacBook Retina too.

Delphi “Variant Records”, a few notes

Posted by jpluimers on 2013/03/14

Variant Records are a feature that has been in the Pascal language since Standard Pascal.

A cool page for historic perspective isĀ R3R: Pascal Features in Popular Compilers, hopefully someone will update it to more modern versions of the mentioned compilers.

There is not much official documentation on the Delphi side on this, so below some parts of a case I used for a project that started in 1997 and is still in use to day. Read the rest of this entry »
