State machines in Delphi and .NET

Posted by jpluimers on 2023/02/15

Forgot to schedule this in 2014, so here it finally is, as the content is still relevant:

A long time ago (almost 10 years) I did some stuff with State Machines in .NET.

Since then the world has changed, and a lot more libraries have become available.

As I mainly use .NET and Delphi and there is a reasonable chance I need to do some more state machine work, here are some links about State Machines in both environments.

Google Cloud Shell: tools, languages and “safe mode”

Posted by jpluimers on 2023/01/19

After publishing Free Linux cloud shell for Gmail users – shell in the browser that works in all locations I’ve been so far, the Google Cloud Shell got extended quite a bit.

There is now [Wayback/Archive] Safe Mode (which skips initialisation scripts):

If there’s a problem in your .bashrc or .tmux.conf files, Cloud Shell immediately close after connection. To resolve this, open Cloud Shell in safe mode by appending cloudshellsafemode=true to the URL. This restarts your Cloud Shell instance and logs you in as root, allowing you to fix any issues in the files.

To permanently delete all files in your home directory and restore your Cloud Shell home directory to a clean state, you can reset your Cloud Shell VM.

And there is support for way more [Wayback/Archive] tools and languages:

Enabling GitHub pages to a HTML or markdown GitHub project is dead easy: Delphi deadlockempire is now hosted on github.io

Posted by jpluimers on 2023/01/10

A while ago I wrote about Setting up a GitHub project so it is served over https as a github.io and a custom subdomain.

Doing the full “host on your custom domain” route was a big tougher than I hoped for, so I totally forgot how easy it is to convert an existing HTML or markdown documentation repository to use GitHub pages without a custom domain.

I needed it for the Delphi version of the DeadLockEmpire (see links below, originally it was an interactive tutorial game focusing on the C# language and .NET runtime), as I am trying to get as much as my stuff published and hosted in a manner that will outlive me (I still have a pretty high chance of the rectum cancer metastases returning).

Enabling GitHub Pages on your repository is almost as easy as hosting a page through raw.githack.com (where I already hosted raw.githack.com/jpluimers/deadlockempire.github.io/feature/Delphi-language-and-Delphi-RTL/index.html as raw.githack.com/jpluimers/deadlockempire.github.io/feature/Delphi-language-and-Delphi-RTL/index.html and rawcdn.githack.com/jpluimers/deadlockempire.github.io/feature/Delphi-language-and-Delphi-RTL/index.html).

This is how easy it was to get it hosted as [Wayback/Archive] jpluimers.github.io/deadlockempire.github.io:

  1. In my [Wayback/Archive] jpluimers/deadlockempire.github.io: The Deadlock Empire: Slay dragons, learn concurrency! repository, go to the Settings tab, then click on Pages:
    DeadLockEmpire Settings tab, Pages configuration None

    DeadLockEmpire Settings tab, Pages configuration None.

    Here you see “None” as value for the branch to be published as GitHub Pages.

  2. Here I have chosen the Branch “feature/Delphi-language-and-Delphi-RTL” to be published, and am about to press “Save” (full screenshot below):
    DeadLockEmpire Pages selecting the correct branch

    DeadLockEmpire Pages selecting the correct branch

  3. After pressing “Save“, the site gets published (it takes about a minute for that to complete) at [Wayback/Archive] jpluimers.github.io/deadlockempire.github.io:
    DeadLockEmpire Pages the correct branch has been saved

    DeadLockEmpire Pages the correct branch has been saved which will automagically publish it.

That was it. No more steps.

Each new commit in the selected branch will auto-publish as well.
