Visual studio (2015) emulator for android not working – XDE.exe – Exit Code 3 – Stack Overflow

Posted by jpluimers on 2018/03/07

In cast I ever want to do Android work again in Visual Studio [WayBackVisual studio (2015) emulator for android not working – XDE.exe – Exit Code 3 – Stack Overflow

Getting the Android Emulator to run is tough because Hyper-V and networking is awful and running this all in a Windows VM makes it even more complicated.

multithreading – Closure in TTask.Run(AnonProc) not released after AnonProc has finished – Stack Overflow

Posted by jpluimers on 2018/03/06

For my link archive: [WayBackmultithreading – Closure in TTask.Run(AnonProc) not released after AnonProc has finished – Stack Overflow

via: [WayBackHow the combination of inline, interfaces and missing RVO can break your code – Stefan Glienke – Google+

TL;DR from RAD StudioRSP-12462 TThreadPool worker thread holds reference to last executed task by Asbjørn Heid as a regression since XE8:

A temporary variable in TThreadPool.TQueueWorkerThread.Execute keeps a reference to the last executed work-item (task), which is only released when the Execute method ends.

Being in a pool the thread is usually kept alive until the pool is destroyed, which for the Default pool means during finalization of the unit. Thus the last executed tasks are not released until the program terminates.

#Tech45 – Nederlandstalige tech-podcast

Posted by jpluimers on 2018/03/05

Al een jaar of wat volg ik de Nederlandstalige #Tech45 podcast van tech45.eu:

Tech45 is een wekelijkse technologiepodcast. In minstens 45 minuten loodst een panel je door het interessantste technieuws van de voorbije week.

Ze hebben altijd een leuke titel zoals bijvoorbeeld de eerste van 2016: [WayBackTech45 #322: Ik heb eigenlijk alleen maar slechte voornemens

Wees niet verbaast als het ineens 60 of 80 minuten duurt en vol humor zit. Meestal luister ik ook na afloop en soms meerdere episodes achter elkaar.

Misschien is de nieuwe layout al af, zo niet dan staat het experiment op [WayBackhttp://43.tech45.eu/

»Smart car = vulnerable car Smart watch = vulnerable watch Smart home =…

Posted by jpluimers on 2018/03/02

I wonder what has become of Hypponen’s law:

Whenever an appliance is described as being “smart”, it’s vulnerable.

Some links on getting a Remeha Avanta 35c connected to LoT

Posted by jpluimers on 2018/03/01

I like LAN of Things over Internet of Things, so I want to connect my Remeha Avanta 35c heater to something that has ethernet.

For Windows, there is Remeha ReCom software:

It connects via an (expensive) “USB” cable which basically is a USB to serial TTL converter:

Note that Avanta/Calenta/Tzerra heaters are all very similar, especially on the communication side.

For their differences, see [WayBackVeelgestelde vragen – Remeha
