For my link archive: [Wayback/Archive] Common Conditional Access Misconfigurations and Bypasses in Azure – TrustedSec
Via [Wayback/Archive] Stephan Berger on Twitter: “”Blocking Linux operating systems used to not be available in Conditional Access. It’s worth a review however because there have been times when I have gained unintended access simply by using a Linux operating system such as Ubuntu to log in.” [1] Yep, a customer told me… “

Like many of the post Delphi 2007 Delphi RTL features, replacements are so much better in functionality and stability.
One of those replacement examples is [Wayback/Archive] GitHub – paolo-rossi/delphi-neon: JSON Serialization library for Delphi
It reminds me of
[Wayback/Archive] GitHub – JamesNK/Newtonsoft.Json: Json.NET is a popular high-performance JSON framework for .NET which was way better than the original .NET JSON support. The .NET framework has improved greatly since then. Delphi JSON support hasn’t.

A long time ago (likely around 2009) I remember writing some code to re-encode text files in both Delphi and C#.
Somehow I thought I had published both, but I could only find parts of the C# code back in .NET/C# – converting UTF8 to ASCII (yes, you can loose information with this) using System.Text.Encoding.
So here are some links just in case I ever want to reproduce it in Delphi too (and a reminder to always perform this using TStream derivatives, never use TStrings or derivatives like TStringList for this):

Planning and feedback loops in extreme programming
TL;DR:
Using LLM in the software development process is shifting the feedback cycle to the top of the development cycle in the graph on the right. This is a costly endeavour.
LLM deliver output that is statistically likely, decreasing the chance to incorporate outliers as they are statistically unlikely but form the burden of software development.
[Wayback/Archive] Mumbly_Bum comments on AI is working great for my team, and y’all are making me feel crazy
Most of our tickets are now (initially) generated using Claude + the Atlassian MCP, and that’s allowed us to capture missed requirements up-front.
I think this is the key disconnect (even taking into account the notes from meetings) in understanding our jobs and why we’re not going away and why LLMs create harm in delivery.

Unlike SKYNET, actual Skynet is still far away: according to Google AI, there are t’s in both kilogram and kilogramme.

Interesting: [Wayback/Archive] GitHub – omegat-org/git-svn-sync: Continuously sync a svn to git, in the cloud.
It lives in the Amazon cloud, but should be adaptable to other cloud providers.
Query: [Wayback/Archive] service to sync between sourceforge svn and github git at DuckDuckGo

Ever since Chris Hesik spoke on “RAD Studio 2010 what’s new in the IDE debugger”, wanted to write a blog post about it.
Still haven’t found time to do that in depth, but it’s important to at least jot a few notes, so let’s start with the 20111020 conference session notes.
