Often, SVG animates a lot better than GIF. Keep this in mind:
Not only should the image be a good candidate for SVG, but SVG should also be a good candidate for the image.
such as:
- Logos,
- non-complex,
- vector-based illustrations,
- user interface controls,
- infographics,
- and icons.

TL;DR:
By accepting that failing is part of learning, we decrease our fear of failure and become more willing to experiment with new ideas. As we experiment and seek feedback, we will see how this benefits our customers, by creating a great product that is built on data and not opinions. Innovation won’t happen without failure. We must embrace it to continue learning and grow!
I highly recommend reading the full text by Yolanda van Kimmenade with lots of nice quotes: Changing our attitude towards failure

Static Code Analyzer for T-SQL – MS SQL Server.
Plugs into MS SSMS and can also be run from command line.It reports useful clues which you can turn/on off to your liking. http://sqlcodeguard.com/index-database-issues.html
It will spot declared but unused variables, but it appears it doesn’t do code coverage or execution path to spot stuff like variables being used without being initialized.

I like the opinion of Mason Wheeler best. This is the shortened version:
… Only a perfect licensing system would actually do you any good, and there’s no such thing. And in the age of the Internet, if your system isn’t perfect, all it takes is for one person anywhere in the world to produce a crack and upload it somewhere,
…
If you want people to pay for your software instead of just downloading it, the one and only way to do so is to make your software good enough that people are willing to pay money for it….
But if you insist on running the rat-race against the internet of crackers or your software is in such a niche that cracking is more costly than paying for a license: Tool for licensing and protect my Delphi Win32 apps – Stack Overflow

Contrast:
When making the contrast of the text lower and lower…designers need to think of
- elderly
- users with bad vision
- low quality monitors
- bad lighting and glare
- reading on tiny screens

Quotes from [WayBack] Ever wanted to download adb or fastboot without having to download the whole of Android Studio?…but didn’t want to download executables from some… – Elliott Hughes – Google+
Article:
- https://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools-latest-darwin.zip
- https://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools-latest-linux.zip
- https://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools-latest-windows.zip
These links will always return the adb/fastboot binaries currently shipping with Android Studio. No need to guess what the current version is, or update your own links: just follow these and get the latest binaries, direct from the source.
Comments:
A package manager is overkill. `wget -O adb.zip https://dl.google.com – dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools-latest-linux.zip && unzip -d ~/bin/ adb.zip && export PATH=”$PATH;~/bin/platform tools”` should let you call `adb devices` and you can add the export to your .bashrc if you want it always available without changing into ~/bin/platform tools.
+Elliott Hughes Any chance we can get something to tell us when it is updated? I know you probably don’t care about bandwitdh, but would be nice to know when updates are pushed.
+dragon788 dragon_788 Or, you can install adb & fastboot from the repo’s then run this script every once in awhile to stay up to date:
#!/bin/bash
wget https://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools-latest-linux.zip
unzip \platform-tools-latest-linux.zip
sudo cp platform-tools/adb /usr/bin/adb
sudo cp platform-tools/fastboot /usr/bin/fastboot

A few weeks ago in When you get “TfsScript.Execute” throwing a “Unregistered version of FastScript.” I wrote about “a process that explains any modules in the MAP file not resulting in DCU files”.
The below batch file aids in that process.
It takes a MAP file from your Delphi compiled executable that has debug information in text format which means you need to set your project linker options to generate detailed MAP files.
The Map Debug File (*.map) – RAD Studio documentation hasn’t much information but points to Detailed-Segments Map File – RAD Studio which has a bit more. Neither contain information on Delphi units as they focus too much on the C++ side of things. Then there is a tiny bit information in Understanding Delphi MAP File – Stack Overflow.
So I did some spelunking and came up with this batch-file which will likely work back until about the Delphi 7 era:

Getting the local IP (actually IPs, but most hosts only have a single IP):
# OS X:
alias whatismylocalip='ifconfig | sed -En '\''s/127.0.0.1//;s/.*inet (addr:)?(([0-9]*\.){3}[0-9]*).*/\2/p'\'''
# Linux:
alias whatismylocalip='ip a | sed -En '\''s/127.0.0.1//;s/.*inet (addr:)?(([0-9]*\.){3}[0-9]*).*/\2/p'\'''
I got them via bash – How to I get the primary IP address of the local machine on Linux and OS X? – Stack Overflow
Mac OS X and BSD have ifconfig, but most Linux distributions don’t use ifconfig any more in favour of iproute2, so you use ip a (which is shorthand for ip address show) there.
Their output is similar enough for the sed to work, though. Which surprised be because I didn’t know about the -E option (it lacks in the manual Linux page but it is in the Mac OS X one) which enables POSIX extended regular expressions. In Linux this is documented as -r, but -E also works.
I learned this through the Sed – An Introduction and Tutorial which compares the various versions of sed which also explains about the -n doing no printing.

If anyone ever wants to have a batch of LTE dumb phones built:
+Jeroen Wiert Pluimers I’m not aware of simple-voice-only phones with LTE modem. From my former life at a telephone producer i remember costs to get a platform running and the effort spend on special editions, i’d say if you are willing to buy 50000 we could find someone producing this for you. In China. But as written above, a basic-2G service (for M2M and emergency signalling or calls) will stay for long.
