Chrome warned me of a list of extensions that it thought were unsupported pointing me towards [Wayback/Archive] Install and manage extensions – Chrome Web Store Help: Unsupported extensions.
It included ones important to me like [Wayback/Archive] Pushbullet – Chrome Web Store and [Wayback/Archive] ClearURLs – Chrome Web Store.
My full local list was at the bottom of chrome://extensions/ where you have to both “keep it” to get them re-installed in the “This extension was turned off because it is no longer supported” state, and after keeping them switch them on plus conforming the switch on to be able to use them.
A quick search revealed this likely has to do with Manifest V2 support: [Wayback/Archive] Why is my Chrome saying the Pushbullet Extension is no longer supported? : PushBullet (that post was 9 months ago, so it looks Chrome is spreading the nagging period over a long time).
This means I need to find a Chromium based browser that plans to support Manifest V2 for a long time. For now Brave indicates that it wants to: [Wayback/Archive] What Manifest V3 means for Brave Shields and the use of extensions in the Brave browser | Brave
Some however think Brave won’t: [Wayback/Archive] If it’s chromium based, they will need to remove manifest v2 at some point… | Hacker News

From a while back, but still interesting:
- [Wayback/Archive] Counting the leading zeroes in a binary number with C#
- [Wayback/Archive] c# – Getting the number of leading 1 bits – Stack Overflow (thanks [Wayback/Archive] Barry Kelly and [Wayback/Archive] SoapBox)
Especially the first link explains the algorithm very well and is similar to links referred to from the Stack Overflow question as it is based on counting ones (and leading ones are basically leading zeros but bit-inverted).
It also explains a cool thing for leading zeros: modern CPU have instructions which .NET Core.

In the past, I mentioned that the open source SonarQube by SonarSource was on my “research list” in a few blog posts* as I am a fan of static code analysis **, and now it is time to amend them with the current state for using it in Delphi.
SonarSource products
- SonarQube Server (formerly SonarQube) is an open core product for static code analysis, with additional features offered in commercial editions.
- SonarQube Cloud (formerly SonarCloud) offers free analysis of open source projects.
- SonarQube for IDE (formerly SonarLint) is a free IDE extension for static analysis.
For more history on them, see [Wayback/Archive] About – Sonar and SonarSource | Sonar.
Delphi integration
There are two open source integrations: for ConarQube Server, and Linting, both maintained by the same company ([Wayback/Archive] IntegraDev · GitHub):

[Wayback/Archive] Go European — Discover European products and services
A community-driven directory bringing you recommendations and insights from across Europe
It seems to have started as [Wayback/Archive] Buy European Made which I think is more appropriate in the current stiation:
Switch to EU-Made. Support the European Values
A directory of EU-made alternatives. From software and electronics to everyday products – all made in Europe
That’s why I put the old poster on the right.

Boy, I always to the Ctrl+Shift+Space on Microsoft Windows (or on MacOS Command+Shift+Space) detour to switch to the Terminal tab in Visual Studio Code
