Stack Overflow ebooks
Posted by jpluimers on 2011/02/10
Greg Hewgill published a bunch Stack Overflow ebooks and StackExchange stats.
His readme explains a bit more on the books.
The blog he maintains makes up for some nice reading too.
Be sure to read the blog entry on the ebooks.

The #reflector licensing debacle
Posted by jpluimers on 2011/02/06
Earlier this week, Red Gate announced that the new Reflector version 7 would cost USD 35, as of March 2011, and the current free version 6.6 will expire on May 30th, 2011.
That caused a lot of stir, on their forum, twitter, reddit and a lot of other places. Even an old thread at StackOverflow got a new boost. It seems Red Gate did not read Social media judo: How to turn a fight into a brand-building moment.
Here is a summary of the past, present and future of things happening around reflector, including some workarounds and alternative products.
First a bit of history.
Lutz Roeder over the years developed .NET Reflector as a free tool. A few hightlights: Read the rest of this entry »

Windows Azure platform 30 day pass – not only for USA people
Posted by jpluimers on 2011/02/03
A lot of places mentioned that Microsoft is offering a Windows Azure platform 30 day pass for USA people.
But visiting the Windows Azure platform 30 day pass link includes an extensive country list.
So it looks like non USA people can make use of it too.

No need to elaborate:
Reading code is way much harder than writing code. So please write readable code.

If you have an account on SourceForge.net, then you need to reset your password now
Posted by jpluimers on 2011/01/31
If you have an account on SourceForge.net, then now you need to reset your password by visiting https://sourceforge.net/account/registration/recover.php.
SourceForge.net was attacked recently (the whole story is on exploit-DB), so they are requesting everyone to reset their passwords.
I got a mail about it last weekend, and their blog now contains this message: Read the rest of this entry »

Delphi dcc64 compiler engineer Yooichi Tagawa now on twitter as YooichiTagawa
Posted by jpluimers on 2011/01/20
Thanks to this thread, which regrettably has vanished from the Embarcadero Forums server*, I learned that Yooichi Tagawa (also known in the Delphi world as [Wayback/Archive] Tagawa-San) got himself a Twitter account named [Wayback/Archive] YooichiTagawa.
Boy didn’t I know he was involved (dead link, alive at WayBack and on Archive.is) at the end of the 80s with the [Wayback] UNIX and [Wayback/Archive] VAX/VMS versions of [Wayback/Archive] LHa/LHarc during my university years. From the last link:
Upstream Authors:
LHarc 0.01-1.00: Yooichi Tagawa (LHa code taken from here, 1988-1989) Nikkei-mix ID: y.tagawa (Now this is defunct BBS, Licensing term in manual page come from his licence for lharc) His new web page seems to be www2s.biglibe.ne.jp/~yex/ yooedit2001@yahoo.co.jp is the contact e-mail address for another software. Page updated at least July/2001
LHa 0.01-1.00: Masaru Oki (LHa original author, 1991-1992) E-Mail address: oki@netbsd.org
Trivia: [Wayback/Archive] Years ago, he entered the team as a localization engineer.
Some LHARC history dating back to 1988:
- [W/A] Index of /pub/FreeBSD-Archive/old-releases/i386/1.0-RELEASE/ports/lha/src (FTP, so it is hard to reach).
- [Wayback/Archive] Index of /afs/athena/contrib/potluck/src/lharc.
- [Wayback/Archive] stuff.mit.edu/afs/athena/contrib/potluck/src/lharc/lharc.c
- [Wayback/Archive] stuff.mit.edu/afs/athena/contrib/potluck/src/lharc/lhio.c
- [Wayback/Archive] stuff.mit.edu/afs/athena/contrib/potluck/src/lharc/lhio.h
- [Wayback/Archive] stuff.mit.edu/afs/athena/contrib/potluck/src/lharc/lzhuf.c
[Wayback/Archive] Availability heuristic. I think your perspective may be warped by two things: no… | Hacker News (2014):
One of the most capable engineers I’ve ever worked with is a guy called Yooichi Tagawa. The guy has an incredible appetite for complexity, as well as spooling up on old codebases and new technologies. But you’ll find very little by him online, both because he’s Japanese and doesn’t use English often, and also he’s squirrelled away inside Embarcadero, working on Delphi compiler as he’s been doing for the past 15 years or so.
Edit 20230619
Added archived links, information from Barry Kelly (barrkel) and remarks about vanishing information.
- I really wish Embarcadero had and has more sense of keeping historic material available (possibly in archived form). On the one hand they keep boasting that their products are of historic importance (they are), but on the other hand they have plainly giving up on keeping information up (or have it archived at the Internet Archive): forums server, blog server, docwiki.
I wonder how long Delphi 7, 2007 and 2009 HTML documentation on the HTML [Wayback/Archive] RAD Studio Product Documentation – Embarcadero Technologies server will stay available. That page lists most products since Delphi 7 but from Delphi 2010 on, none of the Wiki links still produce the documentation for that specific version hampering for instance maintainers of legacy systems: the products still work (hell would break loose when the license servers stopped supporting legacy versions!), but the built in links to the Wiki produce no or different information.
