The whole idea of “community questions” was to create collective topics or references about important material without gaining any “points”.
Stack Exchange has left that concept in the dark by closing questions like this 2010 one that still contains relevant links: [Wayback/Archive] Sites for beginning Delphi programmers – Stack Overflow
The next step by their moderators is to delete the question, which will lose the valuable material forever.
Stack Exchange also dislikes humour.
And Embarcadero keeps deleting useful sites.
So for posterity, here is the question plus answers in full, amended with archived versions of each link when still available (I used † to mark the dead ones):

[Wayback/Archive] Steve Troughton-Smith: “I’m sure everybody is sick of …” – Mastodon
I’m sure everybody is sick of hearing about ChatGPT by now, but one OP feature it has is the capability to translate code between different programming languages, for example from Objective-C to Swift (or vice versa). An incredible accelerant, if nothing else. This was indeed the final push I needed to get @broadcastsapp over the finish line on its migration, and Broadcasts v3.1 doesn’t have a single line of ObjC left 🫡

Even een reminder aan mezelf, omwat we aan Remeha Calenta Ace hebben en het niet helemaal duidelijk is of deze bij de vorige bewoners echt goed op het huis is ingeregeld.
Het nadeel van Remeha is dat ze volstrekt chaotisch onduidelijke handleidinge hebben waar het lastig is essentiele instellingen in terug te vinden: er zijn veel te veel instellingen met allemaal onduidelijke nummering waarbij hele reeksen nummers worden overgeslagen.
De Remeha Calenta Ace serie is inmidels zo’n 7 jaar in productie.

I hope someone has also archived all these in the Internet Archive as this is a great collection of historic material: [WaybackSave/Archive] GitHub – gingerbeardman/apple-human-interface-guidelines: Apple Human Interface Guidelines, et al.
If you have more of them: add them via a pull-request.

A client that went belly up in the early 1990s had all these and similar books. In retrospect, I though have found a way to obtain them but back then I didn’t value the uniqueness of them enough and didn’t have the storage space for it (I lived in a 30m² apartment).

Perl isn’t my strength, so I was glad to find the below links that inspired me to add this bash function to my profile decoding Quote-Printable email data (for instance used by sendmail and postfix to store SMTP message files):
# https://superuser.com/questions/1452249/fix-revert-wrong-encoding-of-file
function sendmail-decode-quoted-printable-from-stdin() {
perl -0777 -ne 'use MIME::QuotedPrint; print decode_qp($_)'
}

This was a cool post: [Wayback/Archive] 433 MHz is not dead! Using an ESP32 board with LoRa module to talk to 433 MHz sensors – CNX Software
433MHz LoRa Transceiver-based ESP32 board work with regular 433 MHz sensors found on the market. This gives end users a simple off-the-shelf solution for receiving these signals without having to use a soldering iron and making a circuit.
…
This opens many doors regarding 433 MHz sensor readings with one device, including weather stations, doors, PIR, TPMS, temperature, and BBQ sensors.
Recommended reading!
