If I ever need to download multiple files in multiple parts at the same time, support resuming, gzip-encoded files, cookies, logging to websites using POST and so on, then I need to look at [WayBack] http – Delphi- downloading files from the web with sockets – Stack Overflow.

One of the great things about the Delphi docwiki structure is that the naming system is very consistent.
The consistency helps you quickly finding the What’s new for any version, just by getting the latest first.
Getting the latest one is based based on a docwiki redirection trick that always redirects from an “unversioned” URL to the latest one.
So these two “unversioned” URLs always get you there:
When writing this, the above links got me the below list. For consistency (as you cannot save URLs for prior versions in the WayBack machine because a brain-dead robots.txt setting which archive.is luckily ignores):
By now, there will hopefully be a few more Delphi versions released.
Reminder to self: update the list (:

On my investigation list as WinBox 3.17 only crashes some of the times.
It might have to do with changes in High Sierra:
The real problem: if this happens, WinBox will not start until I have rebooted.

No matter what language or technology stack you use, if you can describe your code with these adjectives, good code should follow
From a while back, but still very current.

For my link list, especially because how it categorises the various kinds of messages: [WayBack] Getting Started with Azure Event Grid Scenarios | Serverless360 Blog:
- messaging, which conveys an intent
- eventing, which conveys a fact
- series events, which represent a stream of events belonging together (like telemetry, logging, or streaming data)
- discrete events, which are independent, and report some type of state change
If you use Azure, these solutions then apply to the categories:
- messaging: Azure Event Bus
- series events: Azure Event Hub
- discrete events: Azure Event Grid

For running Visual Studio Code from the terminal, you need to do a few extra steps as from Running Visual Studio Code on macOS: Get Visual Studio Code up and running on Mac (macOS):
Launching from the Command Line
You can also run VS Code from the terminal by typing ‘code’ after adding it to the path:
- Launch VS Code.
- Open the Command Palette (⇧⌘P) and type ‘shell command’ to find the Shell Command: Install ‘code’ command in PATH command.
- Restart the terminal for the new
$PATHvalue to take effect. You’ll be able to type ‘code .’ in any folder to start editing files in that folder.Note: If you still have the old
codealias in your.bash_profile(or equivalent) from an early VS Code version, remove it and replace it by executing the Shell Command: Install ‘code’ command in PATH command.To manually add VS Code to your path:
cat << EOF >> ~/.bash_profile # Add Visual Studio Code (code) export PATH="\$PATH:/Applications/Visual Studio Code.app/Contents/Resources/app/bin" EOF
This is what the code command is and does:
$ which code
/usr/local/bin/code
$ ls -alh `which code`
lrwxr-xr-x 1 jeroenp admin 68B Apr 16 13:24 /usr/local/bin/code -> /Applications/Visual Studio Code.app/Contents/Resources/app/bin/code
$ cat `which code`
#!/usr/bin/env bash

function realpath() { /usr/bin/python -c "import os,sys; print(os.path.realpath(sys.argv[1]))" "$0"; }
CONTENTS="$(dirname "$(dirname "$(dirname "$(dirname "$(realpath "$0")")")")")"
ELECTRON="$CONTENTS/MacOS/Electron"
CLI="$CONTENTS/Resources/app/out/cli.js"
ELECTRON_RUN_AS_NODE=1 "$ELECTRON" "$CLI" "$@"
exit $?

Finding the github commit search page was not obvious to me as the main page only allows searching for repositories, and commit pages insides repositories do not have a search box:
Luckily there are two search pages that can search issues:
You can get to both by stumbling on [WayBack] About searching on GitHub – User Documentation, then clicking “Search using a visual interface”
The first search page has built-in help which I have included below, though not explaining how to search for commits which are in [WayBack] Searching commits – User Documentation, and certainly does not tell you need to add type=commitsto the search box.
