Dynamically instantiating instances in Delphi without knowing their full type is hard

Posted by jpluimers on 2020/06/17

For my reading list: [WayBack] So am working on a particular .NET project and came across NewtonSoft JSON.NET Serializer, it allows you serialize Collections such as a generic list an… – Ugochukwu Mmaduekwe – Google+:

Stefan Glienke:
Serializing and mostly deserializing generics in Delphi is a major PITA because we don’t have such capabilities to dynamically work with them like in C# where you can easily create new generic lists at runtime where you don’t know the precise type T at compile time.

Shell Extensions (.NET)

Posted by jpluimers on 2020/06/04

Over time it seems that Shell Extensions (.NET) [WayBack] have become possible.

In the past this was recommended against because Shell Extensions can be loaded by any process having a file dialog open, even if these did not expect .NET framework(s) to be hosted in-process.

It looks like that restriction has been alleviated with .NET 4.x where it is possible to in-process host multiple .NET frameworks: [WayBack] CLR Inside Out: In-Process Side-by-Side

Need to look at monospaced programmers fonts again

Posted by jpluimers on 2020/05/27

At the time of looking, FiraCode would not work in Delphi but would in Visual Studio. Reminder for me to look at it again: [WayBack] GitHub – tonsky/FiraCode: Monospaced font with programming ligatures.

A cool feature of the font is that it has ligatures for common multi-character combinations like := or ...

Back when scheduling this, I was still at Lucida Console because of its large x-height and small line spacing.

It is time to revisit my font choice, so lets include at least these candidates:

Reminder: try to get vscode-restructuredtext to fully work – reStructuredText Language Support in Visual Studio Code

Posted by jpluimers on 2020/04/23

I love Visual Studio Code, but my initial tries to get [WayBack] GitHub – vscode-restructuredtext/vscode-restructuredtext: reStructuredText Language Support in Visual Studio Code to work partially failed: editing works, but I got a non-descriptive error during preview.

All prerequisites are installed, so I needed to pause that for a while.

I still want it, as out of the box, [WayBack] Markdown editing with Visual Studio Code: Markdown Preview  works fine, but for complicated documents I tend to use reStructuredText.

Initial steps were simple, as per [WayBack] reStructuredText – Visual Studio Marketplace and editing is awesome (thanks to [WayBack] GitHub – lextm/restructuredtext-antlr: ANTLR Grammar for reStructuredText).

Version Control in Visual Studio Code: view Git output window

Posted by jpluimers on 2020/03/31

Since the Git output by default is not shown, here is how to enable it:

[WayBack] Version Control in Visual Studio Code: Git output window

You can always peek under the hood to see the Git commands we are using. This is helpful if something strange is happening or if you are just curious. :)

To open the Git output window, run View > Output and select Git from the dropdown.

Or shorter on MacOS:

  1. Press Cmd–Shift–P
  2. Type show git output
  3. Press enter

MacOS: starting Visual Studio Code from the finder

Posted by jpluimers on 2020/03/26

On MacOS, a long standing wish from many developers has been to open a folder with Visual Studio Code: [WayBack] Mac OS X :: “Open Folder With” VS Code · Issue #1223 · Microsoft/vscode · GitHub.

There are many reasons for wanting this, and other tools can do this too (like Terminal, TextWrangler, Source Tree, Beyond Compare), so I was a bit surprised Visual Studio Code does not have it by default.

After initially being closed, the issue has been open for a while, so I started digging a bit for solutions that are easy to configure or install.

The last one is currently on the top of my list, so I copied and installation instructions, and added a few screenshots to explain the already included video below.
