A while ago, Alan Cox started a nice thread about finding an USB way to read old (like 5.25 inch and 3 inch) floppies.
That resulted in a nice comment thread revealing this info:
Now hopefully some people also post some links to USB PCMCIA memory card readers (:

Cool, I just found out that Wikipedia has a Screenshot topic, listing how to take screenshots (and often shots of the current window) on many platforms, where (*) means I verified them:

Class Operators in Delphi have been introduced in the ARM compiler in Delphi XE4 for iOS support.
By now it has been in the ARM compiler for Android too, and hopefully it will (soon) be in the x86 compiler as well.
So it is time to look at my Nullable types again, and see if I can port them over to classes.
Some references so I won’t forget them: Read the rest of this entry »

A long while ago, I posted a detailed answer on what functions the default comparers actually were calling to get a feel for if they would apply or not answering delphi – What does the default TArray.Sort comparator actually do and when would you use it? – Stack Overflow.
I needed that information recently because of some sorting issues I bumped into (sorting generic records), so finally a blog post.
First some links to documentation for even more background information:
There is the answer I gave: Read the rest of this entry »

Using Delphi build-events (see my post Delphi prebuild/prelink/postbuild events), you can automate the process of signing your Delphi executables with a digital certificate.
Below the steps for signing Windows executables.

Saving a web page for posterity is really easy: just prepend http://liveweb.archive.org/ in front of the URL in your browser, then open the page.
The Wayback Machine (Internet Aarchive) wil instantly archive it.
See this great answer by Jeff Atwood quite a while ago:
One thing that the ineffable Jason Scott just pointed out to me on Twitter:
if you give the url of the page to http://liveweb.archive.org and wait five minutes, it will archive that page. How about that?
Also you can enter
http://liveweb.archive.org/http://www.website.com/pageto have it happen without visiting the page.So if you want to ensure that a popular soon-to-be or may-possibly-be deleted question gets archived by the Internet Archive, manually feed them to the URL above.
I suppose for already deleted questions, we could also undelete, wait 5 minutes, let it archive, then re-delete.

Helaas bevat de web-pagina Parkeren Amsterdam – Gemeente Amsterdam maar een heel klein kaartje.
Een beetje door de HTML heen bladeren lijdt tot een full-page kaart met parkeertarieven op http://amsterdam-maps.bma-collective.com/embed/parkeren/tarieven/index_desktop.html.
Handig!
