hexagonal architecture – Google Search

Posted by jpluimers on 2020/05/18

On my research list: read more about hexagonal architecture – Google Search.

I think I like a round diagrams better than hexagonal ones, because it gives more clarity to me.

On my list of things to try: GitHub – arthepsy/ssh-audit; SSH server auditing

Posted by jpluimers on 2020/05/18

This looks like an ssh equivalent to testssl.sh: [WayBack] GitHub – arthepsy/ssh-audit: SSH server auditing (banner, key exchange, encryption, mac, compression, compatibility, security, etc).

It is on my list of things to try, so I’ve put a watch on the repository changes.

html frames and iframes from other sites that won’t load: some links

Posted by jpluimers on 2020/05/14

Back in the days, framing stuff from other sites would just work. Nowadays, often they don’t because of a variety of reasons, often the site not wanting to be embedded, which is OK with me.

But it pays knowing what they do and how they do it, to ensure it is not an accidental setting of the address bar URL to the wrong value like in

  if(top != window) {
    top.location = window.location
  }

So here are some links for me to dig deeper when I encounter framing issues again:

My basic idea for a workaround is to go through a proxy.

It looks like others had this idea too, so some links future reading via cors proxy – Google Search:

Delphi 2007 – move from signature in interface to signature in implementation section

Posted by jpluimers on 2020/05/14

I always thought this was the Ctrl+Shift+Up / Ctrl+Shift+Down in ModelMaker Code Explorer, but it is not: the CnPack navigation is the one that comes most close:

appletv – How can I show a read-only version of Google Calendar on Apple TV 4th generation? – Ask Different

Posted by jpluimers on 2020/05/14

Two calendars and three weather frames.Based on [WayBack] appletv – How can I show a read-only version of Google Calendar on Apple TV 4th generation? – Ask Different there is one choice that might work on Apple TV 3rd generation and 4th generation:

This is the only practical solution I dissected from [WayBackHow to surf the web and use Safari on Apple TV – Macworld UK: Here is how to browse the internet and watch web services on your Apple TV.

Installing requires a few steps as described at

Limiting to only Apple TV 4, another solution is also possible:

However the last solution is not a real web browser, so it does not allow a layout I’m using for the calendar, or actually two calendars:

  • weekly calendar on the left so my brother sees his detailed activities for the upcoming days
  • monthly calendar on the top right for an overview of the past and upcoming weeks
  • three weather frames on the bottom right with two weather radars from different sources and a weather overview for the upcoming days

The reason I need this is because my brother is mentally retarded having problems with abstract concepts like relative time and scheduling. Like me he is also easily distracted and not good at repeating tasks. So looking at a schedule at least once a day is tough for him.

He is very good at concrete topics, especially ones he can put to practice right away like “will it rain on my way to work”. That makes him look at this web page in the first place.

Currently this calendar is shown on a monitor by a Raspberry Pi attached to it.

But I might go for the Apple TV 3 route later on.

Men’s Java is not JavaScript Annoyed Programmer/Developer T-Shirt

Posted by jpluimers on 2020/05/13

Though the shirt is not available on Amazon [WayBack] any more, still – after 25 years – so many recruiters still get it wrong.

Not just recruiters, so: [WayBack] Why is JavaScript called JavaScript, since it has nothing to do with Java? – Stack Overflow, thanks to CMS [WayBack]:

From an interview made to its creator Brendan Eich:

InfoWorld: As I understand it, JavaScript started out as Mocha, then became LiveScript and then became JavaScript when Netscape and Sun got together. But it actually has nothing to do with Java or not much to do with it, correct?

Eich: That’s right. It was all within six months from May till December (1995) that it was Mocha and then LiveScript. And then in early December, Netscape and Sun did a license agreement and it became JavaScript. And the idea was to make it a complementary scripting language to go with Java, with the compiled language.

he continues on the relation of ECMAScript based languages:

JavaScript, was originally named Mocha, later it was renamed to LiveScript, and then to JavaScript.

The LiveScript to JavaScript name change came because Netscape and Sun did a license agreement.

The language was then submitted for standarization to the ECMA International Organization. By that time, Netscape didn’t allow the use of the “JavaScript” name, so the standarized language is named ECMAScript.

JavaScript isn’t actually an open name. Now it’s a trademark of Sun (now Oracle).

There still a lot of confusion, some people still think that JavaScript, JScript, and ECMAScript are three different languages.

ECMAScript is the “standards” name for the language.

JavaScript is technically a “dialect” of ECMAScript, the Mozilla Foundation can use “JavaScript” as the name of their implementations (currently present on the Rhino and SpiderMonkey engines).

In the early days, Microsoft decided also to do what Netscape was doing on their own browser, and they developed JScript, which is also an ECMAScript dialect, but was named in this way to avoid trademark issues.

Updating Actions (Don’t Do This) – Dave’s Development Blog

Posted by jpluimers on 2020/05/13

I remember fixing a high CPU toggling the Enabled property in an OnUpdate even handler on a TCustomAction descendant quite some time ago, but wasn’t completely sure of the exact cause.

My fix was to only set it once every clock tick (about every 20 milliseconds).

The best fix would have been not to toggle at all: just calculate the right result, then only set the Enabled property once: [WayBack] Updating Actions (Don’t Do This) – Dave’s Development Blog
