Since Google has a hard time searching G+: [WayBack] Anyone ever encountered a “[dcc32 Fatal Error] F2084 Internal Error: DBG3133″… – G+ – Jeroen Wiert Pluimers:
Anyone ever encountered a [dcc32 Fatal Error] F2084 Internal Error: DBG3133 in XE8 or newer?
I get it in XE8 version 22.0.19908.869 intermittently on a huge* project when compiling or building.
If it occurs, I have to:
- restart the IDE
- delete all DCU files
- build
Without deleting the DCU files, even a build throws the error after restarting the IDE.
The project never throws an AV while compiling as described in [WayBack] QC #127380: F2084 Internal error AV0B8A47D2-R3E1D3CF8-0 when compiling project unless the IDE runs out of memory (which I now resolved with DDevExtensions).
Every now and then on compile it also throws [dcc32 Fatal Error] F2084 Internal Error: MA1243.
For the other error, the same solution applies: if you don’t, then the next one is a [dcc32 Fatal Error] F2084 Internal Error: DBG3133.
Both errors occur during the Linking stage.

*huge as in that I needed DDevExtensions to work around [WayBack] Is there any tool that clears the Delphi memory overhead when a “build all” switches to the next project in a project group? XE8 constantly runs out of memory… – Jeroen Wiert Pluimers – Google+

ILMerge has all sorts of drawbacks with things like XAML, WPF, NHibernate, dynamically loaded assemblies and reflection.
Jeffrey Richter: Excerpt #2 from CLR via C#, Third Edition | Microsoft Press blog has an interesting approach based on adding a callback to the AppDomain’s ResolveAssembly event with some steps so you can embed assemblies as resources which you then – unlike ILmerge- dynamically resolve.
Those steps require a bit of manual labour which is taken away by MiloszKrajewski/LibZ: LibZ, the alternative to ILMerge.
The repository on github even compresses your assembly resources.

All versions prior to Windows 10 and Windows Server 2016 seem vulnerable.

Oh BTW: history repeated itself this year too. With NUL
In short, Steven Sheldon created a rust package named nul which broke the complete package manager on Windows:
BTW: one of my gripes on learning new languages is that they come with a whole new idiom of their ecosystem: rust, cargo, crates, all sound like being a truck mechanic to me.

As the pull request had been in the pipeline for almost 2 years, I missed it went through:
Before that, Github would not render parts of reStructuredText files at all it could not fully render them. Now it renders them as raw reStructuredText so at least you can see the content.
Examples:
.. function:: code_to_ast(codeobj)
- Compare the different rendering of these two engines on the same file:

Some people still don’t get it:
We like to keep our code organized for readability, and use Hungarian Notation as prefixes where they clarify the purpose of a variable.
Source: A Modern Hungarian Notation – Pixplicity
My opinion on this:
- Don’t abbreviate. There is code completion for a reason.
- Put technical meanings at the end and functional meanings at the start of identifiers: software development is about functional stuff, not about technical stuff as the latter changes way faster than the former.
- You might consider using prefixes for arguments, local variables, instance variables and such, but often that works against you while refactoring stuff.
Been there, done that (;
Source: Boy, there sure is a lot of discussion about Hungarian Notation!

One of the Delphi programmers I keep an eye on is [WayBack] Stefan Glienke, the maintainer of the great Spring4D Delphi framework at spring4d.org.
His blog posts come in bursts, though his G+ posts are spreaded a bit more evenly.
Some of his recent posts and references:
