Interesting stuff:
In this article we will expand on our TgoHttpClient class by adding some core new features including non-blocking http responses, unifying HTTP 1.1, HTTP/S and HTTP/2 support into a common class…

I’d also be interested in the server part of this, but it seems not there yet.

This is about Ruby anti-patterns, which is a good step to start investigating the own anti-patterns you use in your own development environment:

For my link archive:
Via: [WyBack] Are there blank characters in unicode that have the same widths as period, comma and digits? – Lars Fosdal – Google+
Answer: no, though better fonts have period, comma, colon, semicolon and other punctuations the same width as the punctuation space.
The use-case:
I wanted right justified text without having to do custom positioning/drawing – where the decimal zero is white space.F.x. here 12 instead of 12.0
9.5
11.6
12 <– #$2008 and #$2007
13.4I.e. PunctuationSpace and FigureSpace
I don’t want to deal with positioning/rendering since it happens inside a third party component.

[WayBack] pure-bash-bible/README.md at master · dylanaraps/pure-bash-bible · GitHub:
The goal of this book is to document known and unknown methods of doing various tasks using only built-in
bashfeatures. Using the snippets from this bible can help remove unneeded dependencies from scripts and in most cases make them faster. I came across these tips and discovered a few while developing neofetch, pxltrm and other smaller projects.The snippets below are linted using
shellcheckand tests have been written where applicable. Want to contribute? Read the CONTRIBUTING.md. It outlines how the unit tests work and what is required when adding snippets to the bible.See something incorrectly described, buggy or outright wrong? Open an issue or send a pull request. If the bible is missing something, open an issue and a solution will be found.

Delphi 10.1 Berlin broke [RSP-19557] TParallel,Join does not create enough threads – Embarcadero Technologies. It was reported 9 months ago, and since it took quite some longer than a year for a new Delphi version to be released, I wonder if it is fixed by now.

I always forget which sides of the connection throw this error, but the client side does as explained in [WayBack] delphi – Troubleshooting EIdConnClosedGracefully Exceptions? – Stack Overflow by [WayBack] Remy Lebeau the main Indy contributor:
EIdConnClosedGracefullymeans the other party … has disconnected its end of the connection. Once that exception has been raised, you cannot send more data to the other party. You must reconnect first.
