Since Mediawiki needs an extension to display Markdown, and many MediaWiki installations do not have that extension, I was looking for an online conversion from markdown to MediaWiki markup.
Luckily the Pandoc try has this conversion: [WayBack] Try pandoc! Markdown(pandoc) -> MediaWiki
These links helped me get there:

A Wi-Fi enabled 1990 Macintosh Classic built with LEGO, powered by a Raspberry Pi Zero running docker and a 2.7″ e-paper display by EmbeddedArtists.
Cool stuff!

Launch dates:
Now you only need a memory card and a camera module to make a nice “CCTV” system with plenty of choice. More details here:
Depending on what and when you record video, you might want to consider an IR capable camera. In Raspberry Pi land, they call them NOIR (which stands for No IR, meaning they leave out the IR filter which means they can record IR).

Paul TOTH figured this out:
you can use any Linux API but it’s not trivial.
- you have to install the “dev” library under Llinux, like “apt-get install xxx-dev” for the xxx API
- you have to update the Linux DSK in Delphi
- you can declare the API as externals function as usual
- now you can compile and deploy the application.
If you miss the steps 1 or 2 you’ll have a linker error.

And there is this great blog post that I found later by [WayBack] Allen Drennan: [WayBack] Importing third-party Linux libraries on Delphi 10.2 Tokyo – grijjy blog

While updating some old code fiddling with the[WayBack] GetThreadId function, I wanted to have some TThread wrapper around it. I had totally forgotten there has been already a means for this since Delphi 2009 (which initially had a bug, but that was worked around at first and fixed later): [WayBack] CurrentThread.
The latest version of Delphi, Delphi 2009, has a
CurrentThreadclass property on theTThreadclass.This will return the proper Delphi thread object if it’s a native thread. If the thread is an “alien” thread, i.e. created using some other mechanism or on a callback from a third party thread, then it will create a wrapper thread around the thread handle.

Since I forget where they hid the [WayBack] Visual Studio – Add File As Link feature, two images from the linked post:
Add button with two more options: Add; Add as Link (note Show Previous Versions is a feature of non-Home version of Windows Vista and up).

Very cool video based on these logic gates made from domino bricks:
The 4-bit calculator worked.
The 5-bit was set-up failed in part. That conclusion is at around 19:00.
A post mortem is at around 20:00: the machine was setup sizing it too small so the timing was too tight and didn’t work out.

via [WayBack] Is it possible to range an arrays in Watches view to specific index range? Sometimes I work with arrays that contain 100Ks lines, and Watches limit the view to index 131071… – Mike Torrettinni – Google+
Reminder to check how well this works:
Given
FInts: array of integer;you can declare `TIntArray = array of integer;`
(I’m sure it exists somewhere already but couldn’t find it at the moment) and then watch, for example
TIntArray(@FInts[150000])
–jeroen
PS: Uwe Raabe commented on G+:
You can add a watch variable like arr[4711] and set the repeat count to a sensible value. Unfortunately this will give you a single line display which is not expandable.

“Allow expanding watch variable with repeat count > 1”
