On my research list after making this short note April 2024: [Wayback/Archive] GitHub – Laurensvanrun/Delphi-Promises: Delphi implementation of promises for asynchronous programming.
My first impression is that this might be on the same level of usefulness and influention as these two:

Earlier this months I wrote Writing a tool that restarts the Google Chat desktop app Window (and hopefully the Google Duo desktop app Window too) promising I would rewrite the Delphi code into C# and integrate it into PowerShell.
This is the beginning on porting the basics of the Delphi code (which had a flaw!) to C# and contains EnumWindows/EnumChildWindows and error handling tricks and tips.

CPU Cache and RAM performance slowed down many magnitudes for better comparison
[WaybackSave/Archive] Ben Dicken on X: “You asked for it, so here it is. Visualizing CPU cache speeds relative to RAM. Cache optimization is important too!”

The graph was made using [Wayback/Archive] GitHub – d3/d3: Bring data to life with SVG, Canvas and HTML. :bar_chart::chart_with_upwards_trend::tada:.
The underlying data is from [Wayback/Archive] Memory Performance in a Nutshell.
It was kind of a follow-up on a similar animation for Memory lookup versus SSD read speed (links at the end of this blog post)

In Visual Studio Code I already had [Wayback/Archive] C# – Visual Studio Marketplace: C# for Visual Studio Code (powered by OmniSharp) installed in (through code --install-extension ms-dotnettools.csharp), and wanted automatic XML documentation comments generation just like Visual Studio does:

Maybe the outcome of this research study is even more reason to promote awareness around ungendered writing.
In this world at large, inclusivity should be the norm and showing that in your writing should increase funding rates for science articles.

From a while back, but still interesting:
Especially the first link explains the algorithm very well and is similar to links referred to from the Stack Overflow question as it is based on counting ones (and leading ones are basically leading zeros but bit-inverted).
It also explains a cool thing for leading zeros: modern CPU have instructions which .NET Core.

In the past, I mentioned that the open source SonarQube by SonarSource was on my “research list” in a few blog posts* as I am a fan of static code analysis **, and now it is time to amend them with the current state for using it in Delphi.
For more history on them, see [Wayback/Archive] About – Sonar and SonarSource | Sonar.
There are two open source integrations: for ConarQube Server, and Linting, both maintained by the same company ([Wayback/Archive] IntegraDev · GitHub):

Boy, I always to the Ctrl+Shift+Space on Microsoft Windows (or on MacOS Command+Shift+Space) detour to switch to the Terminal tab in Visual Studio Code
So I was amazed to find the shortcut inside the first bullet in the Google Search quote of the first result at [Wayback/Archive] vscode terminal open new terminal – Recherche Google:

[Wayback/Archive] 🔎Julia Evans🔍 on Twitter: “so far we have about 40 pages of debugging strategies and trying to organize them is a struggle :) here’s a draft of the table of contents (though it’s SO FAR from being done, note the “unsorted pages” section haha)”:
