Great article: Testing for NULL and equality in practice [WayBack]
Most important table piece I learned:
Testing (in)equality of A and B in different Firebird versions
Test type Firebird version <= 1.5.x >= 2.0 Equality Inequality

Great answer on [WayBack] delphi – Sorting TDictionary by a key of Integer in ascending order – Stack Overflow by J… comes down to this:
var LDictionary : TDictionary<Integer, string>; LArray : TArray<Integer>; ... LArray := LDictionary.Keys.ToArray(); TArray.Sort<Integer>(LArray);
I was trying the wrong direction (functional approach like LArray := LDictionary.Keys.ToArray.Sort(); ), but the above procedural solution works.

Via [WayBack] TInterlocked.Exchange for interfaces? Since there is no System.SyncObjs.TInterlocked.Exchange overload for interfaces (and the Exchange versio… – Stefan Glienke – Google+
It has made it to this piece in [Archive.is] sglienke / Spring4D / source / Source / Reactive / Spring.Reactive.pas — Bitbucket:
class function TInterlockedHelper.Exchange<T>(var Target: T; const Value: T): T; begin Result := Default(T); PPointer(@Result)^ := Exchange(PPointer(@Target)^, PPointer(@Value)^); if Assigned(Value) then Value._AddRef; end;
It is similar to the TInterlocked.Exchange methods.

Since I keep forgetting this piece of IDE Fix Pack 5.92 released – DelphiFeeds.com
The new version 5.92 now binds
- Ctrl+Alt+Enter to “Find References” and introduces
- Shift+Ctrl+Alt+Enter for “Find Local References”.
No shortcut toggling anymore.

Recommended read: [WayBack] Clean Code is a team sport! – writeabout.net.
The picture is of a developer journey taking years to go from fresh to seasoned ending up at exactly the same code: over time learning the sweet spot of coding.
The story continues correlating that journey to handling technical debt and finding the sweet spot between that and business value.

When you get the response “web.archive.org unexpectedly closed the connection” without even returning an HTTP code, but:
then likely there are too many cookies for archive.org or/and web.archive.org: in my case, I had 90 cookies.
Cleaning these cookies out resolved the problem (I used [WayBack] Awesome Cookie Manager for this).
Edit 20231230: Awesome Cookie Manager source repository at [Wayback/Archive] Phatsuo/awesome-cookie-manager: Awesome Cookie Manager.

For my own memory:
[WayBack] Best Hard Drives for ZFS Server (Updated 2017) | b3n.org
My blog post Best Buy Guides (BBGs) – mux’ blog – Tweakblogs – Tweakers.
ZFS, dedupe and RAM:
I wouldn’t worry so much about the cost of the drives if you have to replace them in a few years. They’re constantly getting bigger and cheaper. If you really need to replace them in 3 years it’s not going to be the end of the world. Just think, a 256GB SSD can be purchased for about $100 today and 3 years ago the same drives were like $400+. To boot, they are faster than they were 3 years ago.
It’s quite possible that by the time you need to be worried about buying replacement drives for your pool you’ll be able to buy a single drive that can hold 1/2 your pool’s data for $100.
Don’t fret it. Buy the SSDs and be happy. Tell your boss you did the analysis and all is well. Just don’t buy those TLC drives. Those seem very scary for ZFS IMO.
…
There are some companies that have forked ZFS and set it up as you describe (separate vdevs for metadata using high-endurance SLC NAND) but there’s nothing like that in OpenZFS at the moment.
I’ve been using it on Leap 42.2 for a while with no problems. Generally I’d guess it should work fine on Leap since it uses a stable LTS kernel.
On Tumbleweed you’d have problems if the kernel updates before the zfs on linux project has released an update version supporting that kernel. So tumbleweed (or any rolling distribution) + zfs certainly seems rather flaky to me.
…
What appeals to me is the ZFS scrub feature. Nothing else really seems to guard against bit-rot / corruption quite like this.
…
It’s not compatible with the new kernel yet. https://github.com/zfsonlinux/zfs/releases
