Register and use a custom clipboard format in Delphi – twm’s blog
Posted by jpluimers on 2020/11/05
Cool post: [WayBack] Register and use a custom clipboard format in Delphi – twm’s blog.
It is about transmitting GPS (WGS 84) coordinates from one program to another via the clipboard.
One day I will find some time to dust off some draft clipboard posts that I have been dormant for too long.
These already got published:
- .NET/C#: PasteText command line tool as reverse of Clip.exe
- Interesting use of an IDE plugin: Copy a string from a “Watch” entry to the…
Via [WayBack] I just now had the need to transmit GPS (WGS 84) coordinates from one program to another. First, I simply copied longitude and latitude separately using… – Thomas Mueller (dummzeuch) – Google+

Git history in Visual Studio Code
Posted by jpluimers on 2020/11/04
Out of the box, Visual Studio Code does allow you to pull from and commit/push to git repositories, but it has not much more git support.
These two marketplace extensions will help big time:
- [WayBack] GitLens — Git supercharged Doing much more than just git history (like live blame information when editing code)
- [WayBack] Git History – Visual Studio Marketplace centered around maintaining git history
I like GitLens most as it covers so much more than just git history.
If you only need git history access, then you can use Git History as well.
More information and a better comparison:
- [WayBack] Git Integration in Visual Studio Code ― Scotch.io
- [WayBack] How can I view the git history in Visual Studio Code? – Stack Overflow

Plastic SCM blog: Unified diff of a branch
Posted by jpluimers on 2020/11/03
Too bad I bumped into this a long time after having been a regular PlasticSCM user: [Archive.is] Plastic SCM blog: Unified diff of a branch:
Learn how to create a custom action to run a unified diff operation for a Plastic SCM branch.
It is an open source tool called unifiedbranchdiff.exe at github, and seems based on a cm path for getting paths, and cm patch for generating the actual patch, and needing external GNU tools diff and patch (hopefully it also works with more recent versions than the woefully outdated 2007 Win32 versions of [WayBack] DiffUtils 2.8.7 for Windows and [WayBack] Patch 2.5.9 for Windows).

html – Is it possible to specify a starting number for an ordered list? – Stack Overflow
Posted by jpluimers on 2020/11/03
Since I keep forgetting this has been possible since the introduction of html 5: [WayBack] html – Is it possible to specify a starting number for an ordered list? – Stack Overflow:
If you need the functionality to start an ordered list (OL) at a specific point, you’ll have to specify your doctype as HTML 5; which is:
<!doctype html>With that doctype, it is valid to set a
startattribute on an ordered list. Such as:<ol start="6"> <li>Lorem</li> <li>Ipsum</li> <li>Dolor</li> </ol>

Since Delphi still does not include a TDateTimeHelper: use the one by colini which has tests
Posted by jpluimers on 2020/11/03
These are quite OK: [WayBack] GitHub – colinj/TDateTimeHelper: Helper record for TDateTime type in [WayBack] DateTimeHelper.pas with DUnitX tests in [WayBack] TDateTimeHelper.Tests.pas.
Via: [WayBack] Does Delphi XE 10.2.2 ship with type helpers for TDateTime type? Or do I need to implement my own. – Graeme Geldenhuys – Google+.
It got even promoted at [WayBack] Delphi XE3: Record Helpers for Intrinsic Types.

Searching old Twitter posts
Posted by jpluimers on 2020/11/02
I got a bit tired of scrolling back to a known date for posts (as having a couple of 100 tweets visible really makes browsers slooooooooooooooow), so I wondered if you could limit a date range. Yes you can! There are even more options, and there is even a special search page for that:
- [WayBack] Advanced Search
- [WayBack] How to use advanced search
- Examples:
- in English with the hashtag “#WorldCup” sent from Brazil in July 2014
- containing “New Years” but excluding “Resolution” between December 30, 2013 and January 2, 2014
- contains “pluimers” and was posted within 5 kilometers distance of Sassenheim
You can use all these from the regular search as well as per [WayBack] Find Your Old Tweets: How to See Your First Tweet | WordStream.
- https://twitter.com/search-home (via https://twitter.com/search)
- #WorldCup lang:en near:”Brazil” within:15mi until:2014-07-31
- New Years -Resolution lang:en near:”San Francisco, CA” within:15mi since:2013-12-30 until:2014-01-02
- pluimers near:”Sassenheim” within:5km
A was too lazy to find all the possible keywords myself, so used [WayBack] How to use advanced Twitter search queries (with examples!) | Union Metrics (and a few others I found later) to make this list:
keword/prefix meaning/values include word or phrase
if it is an account: includes tweets from, mentions and retweets of that account– negate: exclude this word or phrase @ mentions of an account, but not tweets from it # hashtag lang: two-letter ISO 639-1 language code from [WayBack] What languages can I limit report results to? – Union Metrics Help Desk;
might actually be any BCP 47 IETF language tagnear: region (country, city) within: distance around center of region (at least ##mi for miles and ##km for kilometers are supported) since: date, including the since date until: date, excluding the until date to: reply-tweets to an account (which does not allow an @) from: tweets from an account (which does not allow an @) filter: at least recognises filter:linksto only returns tweets having links:( searches for negative attitudes (it recognises many negative emoticons) :) searches for negative attitudes (it recognises many positive emoticons) ? searches for questions source: at least recognises source:twitterfeedto only return tweets posted via twitterfeedOR include multiple words or phrases
A few tips of things to avoid:
- same start/finish dates: that makes the range 0 days and not display any tweets at all
- too long date range: browsers do not like having many tweets visible at the same time
So this does not work: https://twitter.com/search?l=&q=from%3Ajpluimers%20since%3A2020-01-01%20until%3A2020-01-01&src=typd
But this does: https://twitter.com/search?l=&q=from%3Ajpluimers%20since%3A2020-01-01%20until%3A2020-01-02&src=typd
You can even reclaim your time-line on a specific date: just increase the date by one day: https://twitter.com/search?f=tweets&vertical=default&q=filter%3Afollows%20until%3A2020-01-02%20-filter%3Areplies&src=typd
Three really cool things on that last URL
- it shows as the “old fashioned” (not mangled by Twitter because of popularity/advertisements/etc) way
- you can apply it for the current date as well (just remember to add one day!)
- if you do, it automatically shows if there are updates
Hmm, maybe I should make a redirect that always shows your timeline for today in the non-mangled way (:
Some more links I found during this search:
- Source: twitter search keywords lang within until since – Google Search
- [WayBack] How to use advanced Twitter search queries (with examples!) | Union Metrics
- [WayBack] This is what your Twitter timeline would have looked like 10 years ago – BGR

- https://verification.twitter.com/
- is often not available (see [WayBack] ► How to verify Twitter account. IT IS REALLY EASY)
- via [WayBack] How to Get a Verified Account on Twitter (And Is It Worth It?)
