Something overwrote the Browsing Path of my Delphi XE installation.
Symptoms:
It was faster to examine the Delphi XE Library registry settings from Ken White than comparing them with a backup or a fresh Delphi XE install.
Now it works fine…

Scott Hanselman wrote a Must Read post on Penny Pinching in the Cloud: When do Azure Websites make sense?
The first comment says it all:
Nuts, maybe marketing should put out more stuff like this. I have looked at Azure in the past and learned more from this post than then reading through all the pages of pricing on the Azure site. Thanks
Be sure to also read the comments, for instance this one, as they cover some more in depth explanation.

Just found out this the hard way, glad I found it soon which prevented me from doing like Ondrej Kelle – Google+ – Wasted a few hours with this….:
Debugging 64 bit Delphi applications with Delphi XE2 on Windows 8 does not work
Problem: Debugging a 64 bit Delphi application using Delphi XE2 with Windows 8 results in the error Disconnected session.
Solution: Windows 8 is not a supported platform for versions of Delphi prior to Delphi XE3. To get debugger support for 64 bit applications on Windows 8, you must get Delphi XE3. If you are upgrade sensitive, Embarcadero recommends you get Support and Maintenance along with your next purchase. Support and Maintenance guarantees you all updates for 1 year and gets you 3 support incidents in addition.
The proposed solution is to upgrade to at lease Delphi XE3, but this project is not ready to upgrade just yet.
Anybody with a real workaround (apart from downgrading to Windows 7)?

This page didn’t end up high when searching for delegate Facebook group management.
So that I won’t forget:
What is a group admin?
In addition to everything that group members can do, a group admin can:
- Edit the group description and settings
- Add more admins to a group
- Remove abusive posts, and remove or ban members
You’re automatically an admin if you create a group. Otherwise, if you join a group that already has one or more admins, you can ask any of the existing admins to add you as an admin. If you’re a member of a group with no admins, you can become an admin by clicking Make Me Admin under Members in the right column.

Peter Leslie Morris asked if Delphi already incorporates the `yield` keyword that C# had introduced in C# 2.
Delphi doesn’t, but for the people interested what it does in C#:
Basically `yield` is syntactic sugar to make it a lot easier to write methods that return enumerators of some sort.
It delays (hence the yield keyword) execution until the enumerator as actually being used.
It is one of the hardest C# things to master (it is the most complicated transformation in the compiler, followed by anonymous methods – well maybe with the exception of async/await), but it can be very useful.
VB.NET doesn’t have it either (thanks André!) has it too, but and also has iterator blocks.
Some start posts on yield:

Finally a new CLR Week on the Old New Thing.
It starts with via: Why does BitConverter.LittleEndian return false on my x86 machine? which is all about static constructors.
So you should read these as well:
(Note that virtually anything from Eric Lippert and Jon Skeet it worth reading anyway).

StackOverflow user opcOde wrote something interesting:
Writing device drivers in delphi is hard to impossible.
Here is an attempt to write drivers in delphi.
It is funny to see the link pointing to the DelphiBasics site: Advanced Delphi Driver Development Kit – DelphiBasics.
On my list of things to remember: might come in very useful one day (:
Note that opcOde also has an interesting blog: opc0de | just another enthusiastic coder.
