When the Delphi IDE gets slow…

Posted by jpluimers on 2019/10/24

A few tips for when the Delphi IDE gets slow, try these step by step:

  1. Install Delphi Fix-Pack by Andreas Hausladen (a.k.a. Andy)
  2. Disable “Error Insight”
  3. Disable or install LiveBindings related packages

The first can be hard to find as his site disallows search engine indexing, but I’ve written about it before site:wiert.me delphi fixpack andy.

The second step is not a package, but an IDE setting:

The last step involves packages like these (package path followed by package description in the order of the registry):

$(BDSBIN)\dclBindCompFireDAC220.bpl            LiveBinding Expression Components FireDac
$(BDSBIN)\dclbindcomp220.bpl                   Embarcadero LiveBindings Components
$(BDSBIN)\dclbindcompvcl220.bpl                Embarcadero LiveBindings Components VCL
$(BDSBIN)\dclbindcompdbx220.bpl                LiveBindings Expression Components DbExpress
$(BDSBIN)\dclbindcompfmx220.bpl                Embarcadero LiveBindings Components FireMonkey

In those, $(BDSBIN) and $(BDS)\Bin point to the same directory.

Reminder to self: check progress on Delphi helper requests

Posted by jpluimers on 2019/10/23

One of the things the Delphi language really could use some updates in is helpers.

A semi-random example is in [WayBack] … It nags me that I can’t create a record helper for a generic type… – Lars Fosdal – Google+.

So I wonder if there has been any progress, and this is a post to remind me checking it out.

Example feature requests (no more QC, so these have to do) by Horácio Filho:

When LinkedIn throws HTTP result code 999 at you it means it does not like you

Posted by jpluimers on 2019/10/23

LinkedIn is very private about itself which means you have a hard time linking to their content.

Too bad, as they make themselves an island.

I sorted this out a while ago to see why the Press-This and other bookmarking functionalities in web-browsers would fail for LinkedIn:

[WayBack] WordPress/press-this: Linked-In URLs do not parse correctly

@kraftbj I found the below ones on StackOverflow and a general sentiment from https://www.google.com/search?q=linkedin%20999%20response is “Using the invalid HTTP response 999, LinkedIn blocks vary over time depending on both UserAgent and IP address blocks including many hosting and cloud service providers”.

Dokumentation Wie aus Hass Liebe wird. Carola Köhntopp – PDF

Posted by jpluimers on 2019/10/22

If I ever bump into a team that needs someone to get started with proper documentation, I need to re-read WayBack Dokumentation Wie aus Hass Liebe wird. Carola Köhntopp – PDF.

The PDF download there might need a captcha, but this one is – apart from file size – identical, but I could not find links to it: [WayBack] www.guug.de/lokal/berlin/downloads/20100204_guug_doku.pdf

After getting fed up by TeamViewer for the umptieth time because inter-version compatibility issues, I think I’m going to try this:

“Error: Xcode alone is not sufficient on Sierra.”

Posted by jpluimers on 2019/10/21

Once in a while, despite having Xcode, the Xcode command-line tools, homebrew and ruby installed on your Mac OS X / Mac OS / whatever it is called now, you get this on the console:

Error: Xcode alone is not sufficient on Sierra.
Install the Command Line Tools:
xcode-select --install

Running the commandxcode-select --install makes it even more confusing:

It’s probably Apple trying to tell you “Xcode is out of date”, but they should certainly show that in a more obvious way and redirect to the App Store that does show it:
