MacOS/OS X/ Mac OS X tip: AppCleaner
Posted by jpluimers on 2020/07/03
[WayBack] AppCleaner helped me get rid of a the gazillion number of versions that GoToMeeting had silently installed and their dependencies.
Gigabytes recovered.
Installing is easy: $ brew install caskroom/cask/appcleaner
AppCleaner is a small application which allows you to thoroughly uninstall unwanted apps.
Installing an application distributes many files throughout your System using space of your Hard Drive unnecessarily.
AppCleaner finds all these small files and safely deletes them.Simply drop an application onto the AppCleaner window. It will find for the related files and you can delete them by clicking the delete button.

Cipher: a command-line tool to decrypt/encrypt files and directories (een recursively) on Windows
Posted by jpluimers on 2020/07/03
A while ago, I had to mass encrypt a lot of directories and files on Windows for some directories in an existing directory structure.
This helped me to find out which ones were already done (it lists all encrypted files on all drives; the /n ensures the files or encryption keys are not altered):
cipher.exe /u /n /h
This encrypted recursively in one directory B:\Directory:
cipher /D /S:B:\Directory /A
It also has options to wipe data (/W), export keys into transferrable files (/X) and many more.

Tools I use for audio/video downloading, media conversion and audio editing
Posted by jpluimers on 2020/07/03
A friend asked me what tools I use for downloading media, converting it to various formats (including audio extraction) and audio editing.
It is a surprisingly short list:
- [WayBack] youtube-dl for downloading
- [WayBack] ffmpeg Documentation for conversion
- [WayBack] ffprobe Documentation for investigation
- [WayBack] GitHub – mps-youtube/mps-youtube: Terminal based YouTube player and downloader
Most of it runs out of the box on Mac OS X/MacOS/OS X, as I’ve moved there form Windows for most of my day to day access to systems (there is a great set of Microsoft Remote Desktop in the app store: [Archive.is] Microsoft Remote Desktop 8.0 on the Mac App Store and [Archive.is] Microsoft Remote Desktop 10 on the Mac App Store; I like the first one better).

delphi – How do I build an array of const? – Stack Overflow
Posted by jpluimers on 2020/07/02
As I one day likely need to pas a dynamically created array of const from scratch (which behind the scenes actually is an array of TVarRec, where each element is, TVarRec which is a variant record that can have both values and pointers to values. So the result will be kind of a mess :)

What is pragmatism? Why do I care? How do I practice it? | Agile Uprising
Posted by jpluimers on 2020/07/02
Pragmatism is possibly one of those words you’ve heard 1000 times and feel confident you know what it means. I did. On the surface, it seems like a straightforward concept. The definition is simple: Pragmatism /’praɡmətɪz(ə)m/ (noun) : an approach that evaluates theories or beliefs in terms of the success of their practical application. The philosophy lies at the heart of many aspects of agile. Think about it, empiricism is deeply tied to pragmatism.

Specifying the msbuild configuration for a Delphi project on the commandline – twm’s blog
Posted by jpluimers on 2020/07/02
Reminder to self: check my own build configurations as there is a difference for Delphi 2007 and Delphi >= 2009: [WayBack] Specifying the msbuild configuration for a Delphi project on the commandline – twm’s blog.
Thomas indicate that:
- Delphi 2007 uses
/p:Config=Debug(orRelease) - Delphi 2009+ uses
/p:Configugration=Debug(orRelease)
From my own notes, I think Delphi >= 2009 also understands the Delphi 2007 way.

[WayBack] Programming Wisdom on Twitter: "The strength of JavaScript is that you can do anything. The weakness is that you will." - Reg Braithwaite
It got commented at by [WayBack] Henrik Hain on Twitter: “My personal highlight :) … “ pointing to [WayBack] is-thirteen/README.md at master · jezen/is-thirteen · GitHub: is-thirteen – Check if a number is equal to 13.
That is an npm I don’t even want to know the dependencies it pulls in (:
