“Incompatible parameter lists” when using Types.T*DynArray? – VCL – Delphi-PRAXiS [en]
Posted by jpluimers on 2024/12/24
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>
- technically not deprecated, as
deprecatedis a hinting directive and despite these having existed for almost 25 years now**, hinting directives likeplatform,deprecated, orlibrarycannot be used onarraytypes: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.

Bell’s Theorem: The Quantum Venn Diagram Paradox – YouTube and Twitter explained with polarised filters
Posted by jpluimers on 2024/12/24
These are cool explanations of Bell’s Theorem:
- [Wayback/Archive] Bell’s Theorem: The Quantum Venn Diagram Paradox – YouTube
- [Wayback/Archive] Santiago Ortiz on Twitter: “I use polarised filters to explain (some) quantum mechanics to my kids. How is it possible that adding a 3rd filter in between (the one at 45º) some light get to go through the otherwise black rectangle in the middle?”
- [Wayback/Archive] Santiago Ortiz on Twitter: “@chevreuil wave function updates when photon goes through filter B (45º), and “erases” the information of previous initial collapse (filter A 0º), so it has now 50% chance of going through filter C (90º) even if previously it already went through A (0º)… crazy”
- [Wayback/Archive] Sartanas on Twitter: “@moebio @chevreuil Wow I didn’t knew the wave function could “uncollapse”. So that means the photon can reset their polarization? Why doesn’t that happen after each filter though?”
- [Wayback/Archive] Santiago Ortiz on Twitter: “@Sartanas @chevreuil It resets when it collapses. But language is tricky, in reality it never has a polarity, but a superposition of polarities… until it collapses and creates certainty in one dimension and superposition in the independent dimension.”
- [Wayback/Archive] AlliesBeautifyingNonstopHolisticGender on Twitter: “@moebio @Sartanas @chevreuil so does order matter? 0°+90°+45° ≠ 0° +45°+90°? reset implies t has changed but the superposition is just uncancelling them out .. the intuition always feels lacking for this example. show me to polar math of them canceling out i guess.idk”
- [Wayback/Archive] flowdor on Twitter: “@AllieMarbar @moebio @Sartanas @chevreuil Apparently:”
- [Wayback/Archive] farintothestars on Twitter: “@flowdor @AllieMarbar @moebio @Sartanas @chevreuil can someone explain this to me like im stupid & in a field not remotely close to STEM 💀”
- [Wayback/Archive] Linda Cardellini Updates 💃 on Twitter: “@farintothestars @flowdor @AllieMarbar @moebio @Sartanas @chevreuil Photons do not have memory.”
- [Wayback/Archive] saua on Twitter: “@farintothestars @flowdor @AllieMarbar @moebio @Sartanas @chevreuil Even WITH that background, the explanation is very un-intuitive. Unfortunately I don’t know any better explanations than this video (which isn’t ideal without any STEM background):

- [Wayback/Archive] Bonnie Lawrence on Twitter: “@moebio @chevreuil Cool! Why 50%?”
- [Wayback/Archive] Santiago Ortiz on Twitter: “@BonnieMLawrence @chevreuil because a photon that passed the 45º test, is completely free to decide whether it goes through 90º, because 45º doesn’t say anything (is independent) from 90º. You can’t have information about two independent axis, that’s the Uncertainty Principle for you!”
- [Wayback/Archive] elbalalaw on Twitter: “@moebio @chevreuil I have two questions : How can going through a filter erase the information of the wave function ? Also isn’t drakness the absence of light ? If the combination of filters A and B produces darkness shouldn’t that mean that ther are no light waves passing through ?”
- [Wayback/Archive] michael on Twitter: “@elbalalaw @moebio @chevreuil Yes, light can not go through filter A and then B. However, if you put filter C in between them, some light gets through! Classically you would think that adding more filters should make it darker, but polarization/quantum mechanics is weird”
- [Wayback/Archive] 𒇷 𒁯𒅗 🇺🇦 on Twitter: “@moebio @chevreuil The only way I can think of it without going insane is the photon leaves its source and arrives at its destination at the same time (e.g. no time). Every probability event along its path is realized. With enough photons, you have a very accurate measure of central tendency.”
- [Wayback/Archive] (3waves+Δ+Ο+Ο.2+Deltomicron+BA.2/4/5) Survivor on Twitter: “@Lee__Drake @moebio @chevreuil Exactly. A ‘photon’ is the instantaneous change in time-value, which we perceive as ‘journey-through-space’. There is only time. And it ticks asymmetrically, creating the universe entities, because its ‘nanoseconds’ are prime numbers.”
- [Wayback/Archive] Sartanas on Twitter: “@moebio @chevreuil Wow I didn’t knew the wave function could “uncollapse”. So that means the photon can reset their polarization? Why doesn’t that happen after each filter though?”

Some thoughts and experience by isotopp on solar panels and batteries
Posted by jpluimers on 2024/12/23
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.”

redox – Acetic(vinegar) and citric acid as the rust remover – Chemistry Stack Exchange
Posted by jpluimers on 2024/12/20
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.)

Beyond Compare 5 – out since mid 2024, and not many bug fixes needed so far: be sure to upgrade
Posted by jpluimers on 2024/12/19
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:
