When sharing YouTube videos via the mobile apps, they are shortened using the youtu.be domain.
So this is a reminder to write a Bookmarklet based URL-shortener myself for this and extend it so it also understands the various YouTube URL parameters (like start time).
The transformation is documented:

[Wayback/Archive] GitHub – KirillOsenkov/LargeAddressAware: A build tools package that adds support for making 32-bit exes LARGEADDRESSAWARE
Hopefully this can be applied to Delphi projects as well. If not then in Delphi you can manually call this in an post-build task.
Addition late 20240626
[Wayback/Archive] Kirill Osenkov: “@wiert I also found that you can…” – Mastodon
@wiert I also found that you can target AnyCPU 32-bit preferred and it will give you the same address space. So that tool is only for x86.
Via [Wayback/Archive] Meik Tranel on X: “Please for the love of all that is holy. Do not build #dotnet tools to serve a non interactive task that is supposed to be run during a build – use an #MSBuild task package. Also #JS/#NPM devs should not be allowed to write tooling. Thanks for coming to my ted talk…”.
The Delphi bit inspired a few months ago by: [Wayback/Archive] Andreas on X: “Will there ever be a 64bit Delphi IDE or at least a LargeAddressAware version. Our Projekt crashes the IDE between 14-18 compilations because it runs out of memory. Maybe I have to patch the IDE myself by moving all .NET and Compiler memory allocations above the 2 GB address.”

During my year+ of cancer treatments, Embarcadero did a tiny thing that makes [Wayback/Archive]FreeAndNil safer to use. In order to do so, the method now lies to you by taking a const [ref] parameter which technically it is not allowed to change, but the internal hackery allows it to. Dalija Prasnikar explained it in 2020: [Wayback/Archive] Magic behind FreeAndNil.
The new signature is this:
procedure FreeAndNil(const [ref] Obj: TObject); inline;

Every once in a while, b0rk (Julia Evans, of [Wayback/Archive] wizard zines fame) asks interesting questions like below that results in lot of cool links.
I have blogged assemblies of them before (see for instance Lots of interesting git links via b0rk on Twitter) and this one is no different:
[Wayback/Archive] Julia Evans on Twitter: “what are some helpful programming learning games? thinking of things like mystery.knightlab.com for SQL, and flexboxfroggy.com, and ohmygit.org especially interested in games that have helped you learn something”
The response was overwhelmingly good (I tried to indicate when games are not free or not playable from a web browser). I summarised it below.

It is deprecated but still works and an easy way to quickly set the inner borders of an HTML table: use the rules attribute.
Only Using HTML: In this case, we will use rules attribute of table. Rules is the attribute in HTML table which allows user to display only inside borders of the table which can be chosen among only rows, cols or all.

It is more than a decade old but still the best reference around [Wayback/Archive] -= pnx.tf =- has [Wayback] x86_opcode_structure_and_instruction_overview.pdf
I found it via [Wayback/Archive] Alice Climent-Pommeret on Twitter: “I’ve just discovered this amazing document showing super clearly the relation between the opcode and the instruction 🤯 …”

This is from a long time ago [Wayback/Archive] Does Delphi support all MMX/SSE instructions? – Stack Overflow:
Delphi 2007 supports the MMX and SSE instruction sets. Certainly, Delphi 2010 and XE support up to the SSE4.2 instruction sets (but so far no support for AVX).
The [Wayback] Delphi 2005 Language Guide explained a bit, but no more recent PDF is available and the [Wayback/Archive] Embarcadero/IDERA Documentation Wiki is very much outdated on this information as per [Wayback/Archive] Talk:Assembler Syntax – RAD Studio:
Re: “Instruction Opcodes” The information on available instruction sets is outdated. D2010 and Fulcrum support the SIMD instruction sets all the way up to SSE4.2 (i.e., SSE, SSE2, SSE3, SSSE3, SSE4.1 and SSE4.2).

A great visualisation that LLM are basically a bunch of numbers: [Wayback/Archive] GitHub – dabochen/spreadsheet-is-all-you-need: A nanoGPT pipeline packed in a spreadsheet.
It also shows you that Excel is an excellent tool for working with numbers and formulas on a larger scale.
(note the file is a .numbers file developed in the Mac version of Excel)

Sometimes normal html tables are better suited than the more style friendly div tables, as they better suit the underlying data and are easier when you need column or row spans using the colspan and rowspan html attributes, explain semantics better, and … display as tables even without styling!
Converting from div tables to normal html tables is not as straightforward than from normal html tables to div tables.
So here are some links that helped me with both div tables and the conversion:
in case someone needs to convert on the-fly:
var div2table = $('.outer-div ').map(function () { var issue = $(this); var trline = issue.find('.inner-div').map(function () { return '<td>' + $(this).text(); }).get().join('</td>'); return '<tr>' + trline; }).get().join('</tr>');
div2table = '<table>' + div2table + '</table>';where divs are
<div class='outer-div'><div class='inner-div'>this will be 1st TD</div>.....</div>
You could use JavaScript to create a
table, loop through all the.rowand.columnelements in thedivto popultate it, remove thedivand append thetable. Here’s something I threw together very quickly to get you started. (I commented out the line that removes thedivso you can see both in the results).
