Reminder to self: not all 4K displays are equal at HDMI: watch the HDMI version they support.

Posted by jpluimers on 2018/12/17

Experience from a friend:

The cause is that the Samsung only does 60Hz on DisplayPort because they do not support HDMI 2.0.

It looks like the PlasticSCM people are building a git-client, but it needs on-line installation and registration

Posted by jpluimers on 2018/12/15

gmaster is an interesting Windows based git client, but you cannot install it off-line, and by default it does not use the external git.exe.

See the below tweets.

plasticscm – Plastic SCM: Add ignored file – Stack Overflow

Posted by jpluimers on 2018/12/14

If you want to add ignored files in Pastic SCM, there is no --force option like for instance git has. The only way is to:

  1. edit the ignore.conf file so the affected files are not ignored any more
  2. add the affected files
  3. undo the ignore.conf change
  4. check-in the changes

OpenSuSE Tumbleweed E20 on Raspberry Pi 3: accessing the enlightenment desktop over VNC after automatic logon

Posted by jpluimers on 2018/12/14

For a keyboard-less Raspberry Pi machine that functions as a read-only screen, I needed:

  • automatic logon
  • remote VNC accessibility
  • no screen blanking

I already had the E20 ([WayBackEnlightenment) X11 server running as that’s the first image on [WayBackHCL:Raspberry Pi3 – openSUSE that as a graphical UI that works.

macos – El Capitan /private/var/folders cache files consuming 30–40 GB – Ask Different

Posted by jpluimers on 2018/12/14

[WayBackmacos – El Capitan /private/var/folders cache files consuming 30–40 GB – Ask Different

TL;DR: a reboot will usually clean up most of the chaches and yes you can remove those caches by hand after closing the applications involved.

Enabling stack traces in Delphi: [WayBack] Getting started · MahdiSafsafi/DebugEngine Wiki · GitHub:

Using DebugEngine stack trace when error occurs:

All what you need to do is to include DebugEngine.HookException unit into your project. And each time an error occurs, you will be able to get the stack trace from the point where the error occurred.

uses 
  DebugEngine.HookException;

{...}

procedure Foo;
begin
  try
    DoSomething;
  except
    on E: Exception do
      ShowMessage(E.StackTrace);
  end;
end;

You can get similar functionality with JCL.

Via [WayBack] Why Delphi (like other developer environments) natively not included full call stack for every exception? Or if this is possible, please tell me how (wi… – Jacek Laskowski – Google+
