Interesting site: Naming Schemes.
Related, I found:
I’m going to need to name a few things soon, and these are lists I like in a sort of decreasing order: Read the rest of this entry »

Today I got a request from friend that never saw this: Mark Miller coding by Guitar using a CodeRush plugin.
For the people that never saw Mark Miller coding by Guitar (he did this many times on conferences around 2009/2010), watch the video here: DevExpress Code Rush (Coding via Guitar).
In the box on the left, scroll to Code Guitari, then play the video from there.

When handling `Application.OnException` add the `ExceptAddr` to in Delphi the menu `Search` -> `Goto address` has a chance of working, and the `ClassName` so you know what happened.
You might want to always do this, depending on how scared your users get from HEX values in error messages.
This works in about every Delphi version I ever used: Read the rest of this entry »

That’s what I did: transfer the apps I really needed through the Google Play website.
What may be faster is to get on the Google Play website and initiate the installs from there.

Jus finished watching this very interesting talk from the last FOSDEM 2014 conference: [FOSDEM 2014] Visualizing Delphi with Moose – YouTube.
It is based on MOOSE (an open-source platform for software and data analysis) and PHARO (a free and open-source Smalltalk environment).
This is how to get started (it is in Dutch, we have great developers and researchers around here).
Be sure to watch the presenter Stefan Eggermont (StackOverflow, Twitter, LinkedIn, GitHub, FOSDEM, website www.legacycode.nl) as this kind of analysis (that is also possible for other languages and tools) can highly speedup your work.
You can download the webm version of the talk from the FOSDEV14 devroom.

Wow, did I really wrote that 18 years ago?
Yes I did, and I was quoted in the (back then famous) FAQPAS3.TXT from (now Professor Emeritus) Timo Salmi: The third set of frequently (and not so frequently) asked Turbo Pascal questions with Timo’s answers. The items are in no particular order.
From ts@uwasa.fi Fri Nov 8 00:00:56 1996
Subject: Decompiling a TP .EXE56.
Q: How can I reverse a TP .EXE or .TPU back into source code?A: This is simply asking too much. You cannot decompile a TPprogram in a manner that would give you back the original source.This method of reverse engineering is not on in actual practice.
Quoting Jeroen Pluimers jeroenp@dragons.nest.nl
“During thecompilation, important information gets lost about variables,types, identifiers etc. Writing a Pascal Decompiler is impossible.The best you can achieve is a disassembler that can help yourecognize some Pascal statements.”
Since then I learned that compilers emit highly predictable CPU code that – with the right, and sometimes complex, algorithms – can be reconstructed into language structures.
Of course you are missing the identifiers and comments, but you can some remarkable info, especially with well structured code.
Two more links about this:

Nicely done: the USB Typewriter — Classic Typewriters for the Digital Age, as they can do almost all keys a PC keyboard can do see the USB Typewriter — FAQ using a mechanical (not electrical!) typewriter.
Basically the opposite of the IBM Selectric Computer Terminal, the Daisy wheel printing, the IBM 1050 system, and the IBM 2741 Console.
Note the kits (there are both soldering and non-soldering versions) are mostly aimed at models that once were popular in the USA, so for manufacturers like Adler there are no guidelines (but the existing guidelines for soldering and for non-soldering probably work fine).
