Anyone who knows about http://sourceforge.net/p/radstudiodemos/code/HEAD/tree/branches/RADStudio_Rio ?

Posted by jpluimers on 2019/02/28

It look likes sourceforge.net/p/radstudiodemos/code/HEAD/tree/branches/RADStudio_Rio is gone (though docwiki has more than a couple 100 mentions of [Archive.is] “radstudiodemos” and [Archive.is] “RADStudio_Rio”), for instance here:

I have not seen an announcement of this branch disappearing, so I wonder what happened and why.

sourceforge.net/p/radstudiodemos/code/HEAD/tree/branches was a great resource, as it had a consistent history from Delphi XE through 10.2 Tokyo (apparently there used to be 10.3 Rio too) that made it very easy to see the differences in various versions, giving a great indication of new features and differences in products, often before the docwiki got updated to reflect them.

SVN not being centralised, now makes this chain break for Delphi 10.3 Rio, which is quite a pity.

If anyone has the complete SVN history including Delphi 10.3 RIO, please let me know: Delphi 10.3 Rio Update 1 now finally being out likely means many more people start using it as initial issues found in the public have been fleshed out.

It would have been so much more convenient to have for instance a git converted repository keeping all the history and including Delphi 10.3 Rio somewhere.

If anyone has that, I’d be interested in that too. One can dream, right?

Sidenote

I bumped into this via a link pointing to URLs having these fragments in them, which are now invalid:

This means I have to fix some 150 links later: [Archive.is] site:wiert.me “radstudiodemos” – Google Search.

It looks like radstudiodemos.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/radstudiodemos/trunk got replaced with sourceforge.net/p/radstudiodemos/code/HEAD/tree/trunk and https://svn.code.sf.net/p/radstudiodemos/code/trunk, which should give me a head-starting on how to fix the links.

Bye, Bye, Google · Bogdan Popa

Posted by jpluimers on 2019/02/28

Interesting approach: saying good bye isn’t that hard if you do not share a lot things with other people through it.

[WayBack] Bye, Bye, Google · Bogdan Popa:

I spent this past weekend de-Google-ifying my life and, despite my expectations, it wasn’t too hard to do. I started by moving all of my websites off of Google App Engine and onto a dedicated box that I had already owned. That was straightforward enough. Next, I removed any Google Analytics snippets from each of them and replaced those with my own analytics server that I had built a while back (it doesn’t store any PII, only aggregate information (and very little of that, too)).

msbuild: /p: or /property: but be ware of the equals sign

Posted by jpluimers on 2019/02/27

From [WayBack] How do I pass this common property to MSBuild using TeamCity? – Stack Overflow, I learned you can pass properties to msbuild using the /p:propertyname=value or /property:propertyname=value syntax (where you can quote "value" when needed):

I am using the TeamCity Visual Studio runner. I want to add a setting that is not accessible from Visual Studio./Property:FileAlignment=4096I typed that directly into the build step “Command line

However, when passing these parameters to batch files first, be aware that they can strip equals signs from parameters: [WayBack] windows – Preserving “=” (equal) characters in batch file parameters – Stack Overflow

I bumped into this when passing properties to https://bitbucket.org/jeroenp/wiert.me/src/tip/Run-Dependend-rsvars-From-Path.bat

Posted by jpluimers on 2019/02/27

Seems I forgot to push the “publish” button on this 2 years ago (:

Did you know?

10.2 Tokyo has introduced 3 new warnings for Delphi compilers:

Implicit integer cast with potential data loss from ‘<from>’ to ‘<to>’ W1071 IMPLICIT_INTEGER_CAST_LOSS Default: Off
Implicit conversion may lose significant digits from ‘<from>’ to ‘<to>’ W1072 IMPLICIT_CONVERSION_LOSS Default: Off
Combining signed type and unsigned 64-bit type – treated as an unsigned type W1073 COMBINING_SIGNED_UNSIGNED64 Default: On

they were initially documented in less detail than the above table, and it keeps surprising me that you need to read employee blogs instead of the docwiki to keep current: [WayBack] New Warnings, Illegal Casts, and other Delphi compiler changes in 10.2 Tokyo.

Since then, documentation has improved to this:

Don’t complain about the multitude of “places”/services that your fav G+ers are going and how that makes your life miserable. We all met here by accident, had a good time, mostly. And now we move on.

There is no “one size fits all” replacement out there. Instead, look forward to meeting new people and old friends at whichever place you are going to.

Find me on Twitter, Mastodon and infrequently on Pluspora. Or maybe at a (hopefully open and distributed) new place that doesn’t even exist yet.

[WayBack] OK, maybe Diaspora can become my “new home”, at least for sharing my blog posts and allowing comments. – Thomas Mueller (dummzeuch) – Google+
