Reminder to self: Delphi 11.3 (Alexandria update 3), mid-product added a compiler changing kind of deprecating using types of this form (including ones defined in the System, System.Types and other RTL/VCL units):
Overview of “deprecated” * and alternative array types “deprecated” alternative: write it all out TBooleanDynArrayTArray<Boolean>TByteDynArrayTArray<Byte>TCardinalDynArrayTArray<Cardinal>TStringDynArrayTArray<string>
deprecated is a hinting directive and despite these having existed for almost 25 years now**, hinting directives like platform, deprecated, or library cannot be used on array types:a bug has been filed for this in 2017 but still has not been addressed, see my earlier blog post Delphi Declarations and Statements: Hinting Directives.Posted in Delphi, Delphi 11.0 Alexandria (Olympus), Development, Software Development | Leave a Comment »

For my link archive the thread leading up to [Wayback/Archive] Kris on Twitter: “@mterwoord @mausdompteur Das ist ein 15 kWh LFP-Klotz, der Problemlos ins Kabuff neben den Inverter passt und nicht im Weg ist. Nachdem ich nun noch einmal 21% BTW von den 10100 Euro Solarpanels zurück bekommen habe wäre das Ding also praktisch unter 5000 Euro zu haben. Ein No-Brainer quasi.”

There are alternatives. One trick is to get the chloride, sulfate, or nitrate into solution by using a compound other than the acid. For instance, adding sodium chloride to a solution of citric acid should make the citric acid more aggressive, and yet, won’t change the pH. (One reason for this is that FeCl3FeCl3 is more soluble than the iron citrate.)

Being back in the field after quite a long time made me notice I missed the Beyond Compare 5 release mid this year.
It did not need many upgrades so far which is a really good sign. Unlike many other places that release software way too early, Scooter Software seems to have focused on quality first, which nowadays is rare. Great!
Below are some links to get you up to speed, especially since it is available on Home Brew, Chocolatey and various other package installers:

While migrating from iTunes on one machine to Apple Music on another one, I needed to migrate part of the (disorganised) playlists.
I knew there was a binary ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Library.itl file, but that is encoded or encrypted, making it hard to parse.
Luckily there is also ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music Library.xml which I found via the links below.
The iTunes library xml file is in the same directory as the .itl file. The file is in Apple plist format, and Python’s standard library has a good parser for it.
