I wrote about disabling Castalia before. This is yet another reason why I disabled it: on a fresh install it will throw errors at startup like this one in XE8: [WayBack] http://qc.embarcadero.com/wc/qcmain.aspx?d=139278

I just discovered the versioning common sense I’ve used for decades actually has a name. It’s even a “standard”!
Semantic Versioning 2.0.0 Summary
Given a version number MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH, increment the:
- MAJOR version when you make incompatible API changes,
- MINOR version when you add functionality in a backwards-compatible manner, and
- PATCH version when you make backwards-compatible bug fixes.
Additional labels for pre-release and build metadata are available as extensions to the MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH format.
I discovered it via:

Hopefully this was a one time oversight from Apple, but on OS X 10.9 (Mavericks) the Xcode command-line tools cannot be installed from the Xcode Preferences pane.
You have to install them from the command-line:
xcode-select --install
There is one catch though: it might fail as you first have to start Xcode once and accept the license agreement.
You need them for instance when playing with zlib-devel (for instance when creating your own openssl builds).

I need to test this with other Delphi versions:
Oh nice: the compiler settings in your .dproj files are not reflected in what Ctrl-O O emits as it always puts this as first line in your source code for Delphi XE7:
{$A8,B-,C+,D+,E-,F-,G+,H+,I+,J-,K-,L+,M-,N-,O+,P+,Q-,R-,S-,T-,U-,V+,W-,X+,Y+,Z1}Which means that changing integer values in <DCC_Alighment> or <DCC_MinimumEnumSize> and boolean values in <DCC_Optimize> have no effect.
Bummer.
Source: Oh nice: the compiler settings in your .dproj files are not reflected in what…
I will officially report it as soon as https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=quality.embarcadero.com grades B or better.
And I need to find out if I can help determining which of these causes it via [WayBack] Thomas Mueller (dummzeuch) – Google+:
There are two possibilities:
1. The settings in the dproj file have no effect
2. The settings Ctrl-O O writes to the source file do not reflect the actual compiler settings but are hard coded instead.
(3. Both)

Need to research this a bit further as this works:
powershell gwmi -Query 'Select LocalName, RemoteName, UserName from Win32_NetworkConnection'
__GENUS : 2
__CLASS : Win32_NetworkConnection
__SUPERCLASS :
__DYNASTY :
__RELPATH :
__PROPERTY_COUNT : 3
__DERIVATION : {}
__SERVER :
__NAMESPACE :
__PATH :
LocalName :
RemoteName : \\w701ujpl\IPC$
UserName : EN81ENTx64SCAN\jeroenp
PSComputerName :
But this fails for some Powershell versions:
powershell
gwmi -Query 'Select * from Win32_NetworkConnection' | Select-Object LocalName, RemoteName, UserName, ConnectionState | Sort-Object LocalName | ft -auto

Boy I wish I had known about screen and tmux years ago. Screen is such a generic term that I never bumped into it, but tmux is easier to find and I like it more. When on the road, I regularly loose SSH sessions, so I’ve been starting tmux ever since I discovered it and reattach to it whenever needed thereby getting the same exact she’ll I was connected to.
