These search the Delphi 2007 docs:
Similar for Delphi 2009 docs
The second ones search just English, and the first searches all languages.
Given the Google search indexing, the first might give a lot of Japanese search results:
I made shortcuts for the English one in Chrome:

I did the same for the docwiki (where you cannot distinguish between languages in a generic way for all Delphi versions, as the language comes after the Delphi version and the kind of documentation (CodeExamples, Libraries, etc.)):

When leading a tech team, the first thing you should do this year is read [WayBack] Technical Leadership in Software Companies.
It helps you learn about what developers want and how they want to be managed.
Quoting the author:
Software developers have to be managed differently than people in other industries because their work is intellectual in nature. I took the audience through ways in which technical leadership can inspire software developers to achieve the extraordinary.

The biggest lie I tell myself is “I don’t need to write that down, I’ll remember it”
It’s likely older, but the oldest reference I could find was 2012 [WayBack].
So before I forget:
Happy New Year everyone!
With the above quote, it is no coincidence I started my blog even earlier (in 2009): it’s my off-line memory, way better readable than my hand-writing and indexed by various search engines.

Reminder to self:
==> Caveats
==> nss
nss is keg-only, which means it was not symlinked into /usr/local,
because Firefox can pick this up instead of the built-in library, resulting in
random crashes without meaningful explanation.Please see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1142646 for details.
If you need to have nss first in your PATH run:
echo ‘export PATH=”/usr/local/opt/nss/bin:$PATH”‘ >> ~/.bash_profileFor compilers to find nss you may need to set:
export LDFLAGS=”-L/usr/local/opt/nss/lib”
export CPPFLAGS=”-I/usr/local/opt/nss/include”For pkg-config to find nss you may need to set:
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=”/usr/local/opt/nss/lib/pkgconfig”==> sphinx-doc
sphinx-doc is keg-only, which means it was not symlinked into /usr/local,
because this formula is mainly used internally by other formulae.
Users are advised to use `pip` to install sphinx-doc.If you need to have sphinx-doc first in your PATH run:
echo ‘export PATH=”/usr/local/opt/sphinx-doc/bin:$PATH”‘ >> ~/.bash_profile==> sqlite
sqlite is keg-only, which means it was not symlinked into /usr/local,
because macOS provides an older sqlite3.If you need to have sqlite first in your PATH run:
echo ‘export PATH=”/usr/local/opt/sqlite/bin:$PATH”‘ >> ~/.bash_profileFor compilers to find sqlite you may need to set:
export LDFLAGS=”-L/usr/local/opt/sqlite/lib”
export CPPFLAGS=”-I/usr/local/opt/sqlite/include”For pkg-config to find sqlite you may need to set:
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=”/usr/local/opt/sqlite/lib/pkgconfig”==> openssl
A CA file has been bootstrapped using certificates from the SystemRoots
keychain. To add additional certificates (e.g. the certificates added in
the System keychain), place .pem files in
/usr/local/etc/openssl/certsand run
/usr/local/opt/openssl/bin/c_rehashopenssl is keg-only, which means it was not symlinked into /usr/local,
because Apple has deprecated use of OpenSSL in favor of its own TLS and crypto libraries.If you need to have openssl first in your PATH run:
echo ‘export PATH=”/usr/local/opt/openssl/bin:$PATH”‘ >> ~/.bash_profileFor compilers to find openssl you may need to set:
export LDFLAGS=”-L/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib”
export CPPFLAGS=”-I/usr/local/opt/openssl/include”For pkg-config to find openssl you may need to set:
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=”/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib/pkgconfig”==> openssl@1.1
A CA file has been bootstrapped using certificates from the system
keychain. To add additional certificates, place .pem files in
/usr/local/etc/openssl@1.1/certsand run
/usr/local/opt/openssl@1.1/bin/c_rehashopenssl@1.1 is keg-only, which means it was not symlinked into /usr/local,
because openssl/libressl is provided by macOS so don’t link an incompatible version.If you need to have openssl@1.1 first in your PATH run:
echo ‘export PATH=”/usr/local/opt/openssl@1.1/bin:$PATH”‘ >> ~/.bash_profileFor compilers to find openssl@1.1 you may need to set:
export LDFLAGS=”-L/usr/local/opt/openssl@1.1/lib”
export CPPFLAGS=”-I/usr/local/opt/openssl@1.1/include”For pkg-config to find openssl@1.1 you may need to set:
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=”/usr/local/opt/openssl@1.1/lib/pkgconfig”==> icu4c
icu4c is keg-only, which means it was not symlinked into /usr/local,
because macOS provides libicucore.dylib (but nothing else).If you need to have icu4c first in your PATH run:
echo ‘export PATH=”/usr/local/opt/icu4c/bin:$PATH”‘ >> ~/.bash_profile
echo ‘export PATH=”/usr/local/opt/icu4c/sbin:$PATH”‘ >> ~/.bash_profileFor compilers to find icu4c you may need to set:
export LDFLAGS=”-L/usr/local/opt/icu4c/lib”
export CPPFLAGS=”-I/usr/local/opt/icu4c/include”For pkg-config to find icu4c you may need to set:
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=”/usr/local/opt/icu4c/lib/pkgconfig”==> ruby
By default, binaries installed by gem will be placed into:
/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/2.6.0/binYou may want to add this to your PATH.
ruby is keg-only, which means it was not symlinked into /usr/local,
because macOS already provides this software and installing another version in
parallel can cause all kinds of trouble.If you need to have ruby first in your PATH run:
echo ‘export PATH=”/usr/local/opt/ruby/bin:$PATH”‘ >> ~/.bash_profileFor compilers to find ruby you may need to set:
export LDFLAGS=”-L/usr/local/opt/ruby/lib”
export CPPFLAGS=”-I/usr/local/opt/ruby/include”For pkg-config to find ruby you may need to set:
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=”/usr/local/opt/ruby/lib/pkgconfig”==> qt
We agreed to the Qt open source license for you.
If this is unacceptable you should uninstall.qt is keg-only, which means it was not symlinked into /usr/local,
because Qt 5 has CMake issues when linked.If you need to have qt first in your PATH run:
echo ‘export PATH=”/usr/local/opt/qt/bin:$PATH”‘ >> ~/.bash_profileFor compilers to find qt you may need to set:
export LDFLAGS=”-L/usr/local/opt/qt/lib”
export CPPFLAGS=”-I/usr/local/opt/qt/include”For pkg-config to find qt you may need to set:
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=”/usr/local/opt/qt/lib/pkgconfig”==> python
Python has been installed as
/usr/local/bin/python3Unversioned symlinks `python`, `python-config`, `pip` etc. pointing to
`python3`, `python3-config`, `pip3` etc., respectively, have been installed into
/usr/local/opt/python/libexec/binIf you need Homebrew’s Python 2.7 run
brew install python@2You can install Python packages with
pip3 install <package>
They will install into the site-package directory
/usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packagesSee: https://docs.brew.sh/Homebrew-and-Python
==> youtube-dl
Bash completion has been installed to:
/usr/local/etc/bash_completion.dzsh completions have been installed to:
/usr/local/share/zsh/site-functions
==> cabal-install
Bash completion has been installed to:
/usr/local/etc/bash_completion.d

Bash completion has been installed to:
/usr/local/etc/bash_completion.d
==> hub
Bash completion has been installed to:
/usr/local/etc/bash_completion.dzsh completions have been installed to:
/usr/local/share/zsh/site-functions
==> gnupg
Once you run this version of gpg you may find it difficult to return to using
a prior 1.4.x or 2.0.x. Most notably the prior versions will not automatically
know about new secret keys created or imported by this version. We recommend
creating a backup of your `~/.gnupg` prior to first use.For full details on each change and how it could impact you please see
https://www.gnupg.org/faq/whats-new-in-2.1.html

Bash completion has been installed to:
/usr/local/etc/bash_completion.d
==> pandoc
Bash completion has been installed to:
/usr/local/etc/bash_completion.d
==> go
A valid GOPATH is required to use the `go get` command.
If $GOPATH is not specified, $HOME/go will be used by default:
https://golang.org/doc/code.html#GOPATHYou may wish to add the GOROOT-based install location to your PATH:
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/opt/go/libexec/bin

Besides wishing you a happy new year, also a reminder: [WayBack] Python 2.7 Countdown Python 2.7 will retire on januari 1, 2020. Learn more and see the countdown here.
This is indeed a breaking change for Python users, similar as from Perl 4 to Perl 5, and PHP 4 to PHP 5.
It shows two things:
And indeed porting of complex systems is hard [WayBack] WIP: Port calibre to python 3 by flaviut · Pull Request #870 · kovidgoyal/calibre · GitHub but doable [WayBack] Bug #1714107 “Python 2 is retiring” : Bugs : calibre.
Via: [WayBack1/WayBack2] Python 3 improves in some ways over Python 2, but also makes a bunch of changes that are breaking, but cosmetic (i.e. renaming methods and functions, or… – Kristian Köhntopp – Google+ (with some interesting comments, but also a rant-sequence of someone who would better use that energy to improve Python than to bash it).

I’m monitoring quite a bunch of Windows machines with Zabbix.
One of the services I turn off for monitoring is ShellHWDetection as otherwise you get this notification often:
Service "ShellHWDetection" (Shell Hardware Detection) is not running (startup type automatic)
When it happens, it’s always when there is nobody logged on to the machine. But sometimes you do not get this message. I’ve not fully figured out the pattern well, but since the service is associated with auto-play of inserted CD/DVD/USB and other media, I don’t bother too much.
