I needed the below links to get a feel on how much effort it would be to convert ABNAMRO transactions from MT940 into CSV or XLS extracting as many useful fields as possible.
Maybe it useful for other people as well.
I know there is CAMT.053 as well, but that puts every transaction into a separate XML file but still spreads the description over a multi-line structured field (like :86: below).

Does anybody know a shorter, more permanent solution for [WayBack] RAD Studio 10.2.2 Annoying New Features. Help? – Forum – Embarcadero Community.
Especially the first one is very important to me.
Ever since Delphi introduced IDE layouts, it would remember the last one selected. With Delphi 10.2.2 Tokyo not so any more: it ALWAYS starts with an imposed “Startup Layout”. If you delete it, it re-appears.
I have a carefully named set of layouts that depends on the monitors I am using.
The workaround – every time I switch monitors, at least a few times a day, especially when moving between places, for instance for meetings – is this:
Then each time I tweak a layout, I have to remember to save it both as “Startup layout” and as the actual named layout.
The really dumb thing is that RSP-20138 Can not define default Startup layout is classified as
“Jira-Quality Sync Service added a comment – 29/May/18 2:50 AM
Issue is reclassified as ‘New Feature'”
Via [WayBack1, WayBack2] So Embarcadero broke the “Default layout” (now always enforces a new “Standard Layout”) upon IDE startup in 10.2 Tokyo, and commented on the bug report … – Jeroen Wiert Pluimers – Google+ which has quite a few nice comments and links, including:

Problem (D2007 and up)
If you are starting your Delphi VCL app meanwhile your mouse is moving, no accelerators are shown (Menu, button, focus rect missing… etc.)
Something similar happens when you click on a button which opens a new form, somehow UI State becomes a state which is wrong.
Solution
In a detoured Form.DoShow(Or in every OnShow event) :Self.Perform(WM_CHANGEUISTATE, MakeLong(UIS_CLEAR, UISF_HIDEACCEL or UISF_HIDEFOCUS), 0);
- No repaint penalty
- no flicker
- accels
- focus rect are always shown
- system is not touched.

I came across a nice tool that combines httpd.conf files:
python CombineApacheConfig.py /etc/apache2/httpd.conf /tmp/apache2.combined.conf
In case I ever need to fully port it to OpenSuSE, I’ve put it in the gist below.
For now it works fine on OpenSuSE when used with the above command. I might make the default depend on the kind of nx it runs on.

Lots of interesting information, especially these discussions where Alexander Graf chipped in:
The hand off of the boot loader to the actual OS payload. The payload and U-boot are in memory running at the same time. The payload can call back into U-boot through the uEFI API that U-boot implements so that the payload provides extra drivers enabling for instance a subsequent graphical stage (splash screen, menus, etc), more hardware access and so on. You even could pass ACPI tables through U-boot to the payload and help shooting yourself in the foot.
Important aspects for upstreaming:

On [WayBack] Delphi Community Edition available: – Uwe Raabe – Google+, the links to the [WayBack] EULA, [WayBack] FAQ and [WayBack] Feature Matrix were shared.
In summary (read the G+ thread for more), the Delphi Community Edition is a web-installer of version 10.2.3 feature equivalent to the Delphi Professional Edition.
I think it is a good move to make Delphi more accessible to many more people.
A few restrictions apply, for instance there is also a C++ Builder Community Edition equivalent to the C++ Builder Professional edition, but you cannot install them on the same system at the time time.
Also, you cannot move around the command-line compiler to a different system (for instance a build-machine for Continuous Integration purposes).
The financial restriction that applies can be summarised as this: When the revenue you make during the year exceeds USD 5000 you have to stop using the Community Edition license.
Note that this is about revenue, not about income (which many define as “net of revenues and expenses”), and does not mention the revenue source, so watch this during the years you use the Community Edition.
Furthermore, Embarcadero indicates they collect information about your use of the Community Edition, but the [WayBack] privacy statement is not clear how.
All in all I hope this move attracts fresh people into the Delphi community.
The heise – the German flagship IT journal – likes it too: [WayBack] Delphi und C ++ Builder als Community Edition | heise Developer (via [WayBack] Some nice PR … Embarcadero-konfektioniert-Delphi-und-C-Builder-als-Community-Edition-4115563… – Roland Kossow – Google+)
Yes, Embarcadero is going after your employer if you register Delphi Community with a corporate email address.

There is a lot of noise in the agility world. Choosing what practices your team does and why can be a tedious job. Each team is different and evolves over time, so you need to find the ones best fitting to your team and repeat that.
The [WayBack] Agile &: Core Agile Practices post has done a pre-selection of practices that could work well for your team. Try them, test them out and find which work well as best practice for your team.

I was looking for a HTML pretty printer (…) but in Visual Studio code, that is called code formatting, which supports many languages out of the box (including HTML) without requiring extensions like Atom.io (see below).
The shortcuts are at [WayBack] How do you format code in Visual Studio Code (VSCode) – Stack Overflow.
For Mac OS X/OS X/MacOS they are (the second one only appears when you have a code selection):
- document:
Shift–Option–F- selection:
Command–KCommand–F
