There is a known saying phrased using cardinal, adverbial or ordinal numbers, and several naming for the first:
Sometimes the second can lead to a pattern.

Steps:
FASTMM to your project$(BDS)\source\DUnit\src in your search path in your project (as otherwise Delphi will pick the pre-built TestFramework.dcu file which was compiled without the FASTMM conditional define)SetUp method of a class, set FailsOnMemoryLeak to TrueSetUp method of the class allocates memory, ensure the TearDown de-allocates it. Otherwise you will have leaks:
SetUp until the end of the TearDowndestructor or by automatic finalization after the destructor!TestFramework unit will not take into account the FASTMM conditional define)Depending in your test framework, FailsOnMemoryLeak might be by default be False or True:
FailsIfMemoryLeaked set to True for the root test suite (which is then applied to FailsOnMemoryLeak of any test method).procedure RunRegisteredTests(const baseUrl: string); var suite: ITestSuite; result: TTestResult; listener: ITestListener; begin suite := RegisteredTests; if not Assigned(suite) then Exit; result := TTestResult.Create; result.FailsIfNoChecksExecuted := True; result.FailsIfMemoryLeaked := True; listener := TTestInsightListener.Create(baseUrl, suite.CountEnabledTestCases); result.AddListener(listener); try suite.Run(result); finally result.Free; end; end;
FailsIfMemoryLeaked set to False.FailsIfMemoryLeaked depending on the options:Note that recent Delphi versions (I think XE and up) ship with almost the same sources as https://sourceforge.net/code-snapshots/svn/d/du/dunit/svn/dunit-svn-r44-trunk.zip, with these Embarcadero changes:

Not all letters have superscript or subscript counterparts. The counterparts are from different ranges, so might not look nice when next to each other.
I think 20th using Unicode lowercase superscript looks ugly 20ᵗʰ. With uppercase superscript it is somewhat OK: 20ᵀᴴ.
The list is from [WayBack] javascript – How to find the unicode of the subscript alphabet? – Stack Overflow:
Take a look at the wikipedia article Unicode subscripts and superscripts. It looks like these are spread out across different ranges, and not all characters are available.
Consolidated for cut-and-pasting purposes, the Unicode standard defines complete sub- and super-scripts for numbers and common mathematical symbols ( ⁰ ¹ ² ³ ⁴ ⁵ ⁶ ⁷ ⁸ ⁹ ⁺ ⁻ ⁼ ⁽ ⁾ ₀ ₁ ₂ ₃ ₄ ₅ ₆ ₇ ₈ ₉ ₊ ₋ ₌ ₍ ₎ ), a full superscript Latin lowercase alphabet except q ( ᵃ ᵇ ᶜ ᵈ ᵉ ᶠ ᵍ ʰ ⁱ ʲ ᵏ ˡ ᵐ ⁿ ᵒ ᵖ ʳ ˢ ᵗ ᵘ ᵛ ʷ ˣ ʸ ᶻ ), a limited uppercase Latin alphabet ( ᴬ ᴮ ᴰ ᴱ ᴳ ᴴ ᴵ ᴶ ᴷ ᴸ ᴹ ᴺ ᴼ ᴾ ᴿ ᵀ ᵁ ⱽ ᵂ ), a few subscripted lowercase letters ( ₐ ₑ ₕ ᵢ ⱼ ₖ ₗ ₘ ₙ ₒ ₚ ᵣ ₛ ₜ ᵤ ᵥ ₓ ), and some Greek letters ( ᵅ ᵝ ᵞ ᵟ ᵋ ᶿ ᶥ ᶲ ᵠ ᵡ ᵦ ᵧ ᵨ ᵩ ᵪ ). Note that since these glyphs come from different ranges, they may not be of the same size and position, depending on the typeface.
After a nice chat with my nephew EWD, I did some research and found the above via

If this is still open, please vote for it: [WayBack] Naming of naming styles should reflect their casing · Issue #35243 · dotnet/roslyn · GitHub
Having the drop down of naming styles reflect the actual output in one way or the other will make it way easier to select the correct one.
Besides that, a few new naming styles are suggested in this issue, like snake_case which is great for translating APIs that are already in that form.

You’d think the math does not add up:
But it does: both “Success” and “Warnings” are counted as “passed”.

When configuring a web-based kiosk for someone with Alzheimer’s disease, I wanted to start Chrome in full-screen kiosk mode.
The secret for full-screen kiosk mode is to pass the -start-fullscreen command-line option. Thanks [WayBack] User ginomay89 – Super User for answering that in [WayBack] tablet – How to set Google Chrome to automatically open up and in full screen – Super User.
At first I thought about differentiating on the chrome.exe location that you can find in the registry. This turned out to be depending on how you install Chrome:
%LocalAppData%)%ProgramFiles(x86)%)Oddly, there is no way (not even by denying UAC elevation!) for a local administrator to install Chrome for only the current user.
This is odd, as when non-local-administrator denies UAC, the installation is locally to the user.
Then I remembered there are two ways for Windows to find an application
PATHPATH)
AppUserModelId” values under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT; one day I will further research this through [WayBack] Application User Model IDs (AppUserModelIDs) – Windows applications | Microsoft Docs.The cool thing is that the start command does the latter, so I came up with this batch file that starts chrome with the -start-fullscreen parameter that will initiate kiosk mode with the default chrome settings:
start "Chrome Kiosk Mode" chrome --start-fullscreen
Basically sorting out the registry settings would mean parsing the references to chrome.exe (often with extra parameters) in the below registry key/value-name pairs.
One day I might need to do this for different reasons, but currently the start trick suffices.

There are many reasons to disable DNS over HTTPS (DoH), of which enough are discussed in the links below.
Disabling DoH always talks about setting TTR (the abbreviation Mozilla uses for it) to 5 (like [WayBack] Thread by @isotopp: “Firefox is about to break DNS by enabling DNS-over-HTTP by default […]”), but hardly ever explains the meaning of 5, or any other potential values.
After some searching, I found [WayBack] Firefox disable trr | Knowledge Base:
0: Off by default1: Firefox chooses faster2: TRR default w/DNS fallback3: TRR only mode5: DisabledI imagine the setting we’re all looking for is:
user_pref(“network.trr.mode”, 5);(emphasis mine)
It pointed me to [WayBack] Trusted Recursive Resolver – MozillaWiki:

The most current Lex and Yacc for Delphi is [WayBack] GitHub – RomanYankovsky/ndyacclex: Parser generator toolset for Delphi (Yacc & Lex).
It came up during a funny Twitter thread, where one of the Delphi team members asked for it, despite – after decades of asking – there still being no official Delphi grammar available from the Delphi team, nor Google Search skills [WayBack].
Basically a parser generator is only as useful as the grammar you have for it.
There is no open source grammar for Delphi yet, so the best you can start with is from the same author: [WayBack] GitHub – RomanYankovsky/DelphiAST: Abstract syntax tree builder for Delphi
With DelphiAST you can take real Delphi code and get an abstract syntax tree. One unit at time and without a symbol table though.

[WayBack] Manual:Reset – MikroTik Wiki:
unplug the device from power
2) press and hold the button right after applying power
Note: hold the button for 5 seconds (USER LED will start flashing)
3) release the button to clear configuration.
Note: If you wait until LED stops flashing, and only then release the button – this will instead launch Netinstall mode, to reinstall RouterOS.

[WayBack] Geurthee nr. 5 theebuiltjes – De Pelikaan Zutphen – Koffie/theespecialist sinds 1816
Een huisgemelangeerde zwarte thee met een gerookt tintje. Perfecte keuze als u van Earl Grey houdt en opzoek bent naar een extra smaaksensatie
Onze Geurthee nr. 5 is een gemelangeerde zwarte thee. Naast dat wij onze Geurthee nr. 2 hiervoor gebruiken, zitten er nog meer theesoorten in verwerkt zoals Lapsang Souchong. Lapsang Souchong is een zwarte theesoort uit China en is erg sterk van smaak. Deze thee wordt in bamboemanden gedroogd boven brandend naald- of cypressenhout. Dit zorgt ervoor dat er zich een sterke rooksmaak ontwikkeld. Ook is de Geurthee nr. 5 sterk gearomatiseerd met Bergamot-olie. Bergamot is een citrusvrucht die wordt gebruikt als smaakmaker in Earl Grey. Door al deze ingrediënten met elkaar te melangeren, ontstaat er een heerlijke Earl Grey met een gerookt tintje
____
ZETADVIES (1 kop): 1 zakje, water opschenken (95°C -100°C), 2-3 minuten laten trekken. Één zakje kan zelfs voor een hele pot gebruikt worden!
____
15 piramide theebuiltjes
