How to deploy a Delphi OSX project from the command line – kouraklis.com

This is so cool: How to deploy a Delphi OSX project from the command line – kouraklis.com [WayBack]
I always wanted to hack the communication path to PAServer [WayBack] – despite issues – but never had the time. Luckily others had…

Got a very quick response Range combo – Paste.ie – Irish For Pastebin on:
I’ll write some unit tests soon and make it into a unit for testing.
For now it looks exactly what I need. In addition, I learned how this algorithm is called Range extraction – Rosetta Code and the opposite Range expansion – Rosetta Code.
Basically these lists are the format where a user can enter the range of pages to be printed.
The code by Asbjørn Heid uses a Functional record definition allowing for function binding just like in C++ Boost.Bind [WayBack].
Based on that, I made this changeset: https://bitbucket.org/jeroenp/besharp.net/commits/7205b070a4e6457675a083b78d26659da506fc08

atom-keyboard-macros: tried, doesn’t work reliably – anyone who knows a better one?
Posted by jpluimers on 2016/09/28
One of the things I missed in the Atom editor is a keyboard macro recording/playback.
I tried atom-keyboard-macros but it doesn’t work reliably.
Not sure where it fails as the failure patterns are inconclusive.
Anyone having a better experience?

The Oracle at Delphi: Set in my ways
Posted by jpluimers on 2016/09/28
A few pieces of Delphi compiler history:
Most notably, the Object Pascal/Delphi compiler is written in mostly C with a smattering of C++, the editor kernel (sans display rendering) and debugger engine (process control/symbol table management) were written in C++. All of which I’ve worked on throughout my 24+ years on that team.
The 16bit compiler was written in pure assembler. The current compiler is written in C. It was derived from an Amiga 68000 Turbo Pascal compatible compiler. It’s never been written in Object Pascal.
That being said, there was an effort several years ago to completely rework/re-architect the compiler. That was done in OP. It just barely got to the “hello world” stage before it was set aside.

And the other bomb-shell: Nick Hodges Joins Embarcadero as Product Management Lead
Interesting times in the Delphi community…
And I really wonder if this affects Delphi Developer Days 2016, Nick Hodges & Cary Jensen.

Jark/FTDISample: Note: As of version 10556.0 the ftdi driver does no longer seem to work. A sample application showcasing the FTDI D2XX driver use in Windows Universal projects (UWP). This sample is tested on the Raspberry PI 2 with Windows IOT installed and a FTDI FT232R usb-to-serial adapter.

Yeah, I couldn’t get this working either. I’m not sure where ReadTimeout is actually used by the SerialDevice class internally. But I did end up getting something working by copying the timeout to a

grep: searching for pipes, optional characters
Posted by jpluimers on 2016/09/22
For my own reference as RegEx is a write-only language:
Search for pipes means just back-slash escaping them:
grep "\|S\|" products.txt > s-rated-products.txt
Search for optional charactes (in this case searching for both the singular and plural form of a word) can be done by grouping the optional part in parentheses:
grep -i "Movie(s)?" products.txt > movie-products.txt
Search for either OR:
grep -E "foo|bar" products.txt > foo-or-bar-products.txt
egrep "foo|bar" products.txt > foo-or-bar-products.txt
Note that the Borland grep does not support the OR syntax, but egrep does.
