[WayBack] I want to annotate some of my enumerated types with human facing names. So I want to write: type[Names(‘Explicit time domain’, ‘Implicit time domain’,… – David Heffernan – Google+
This does not work:
constructor Create(const Values: array of string);
It seems to be in QC.
The reason is not obvious until you realise (thanks Stefan for wording that) that attribute constructor arguments are limited to anything that can be const. Open arrays nor dynamic arrays can be const (yes, nowadays you can have “consts” that are dynamic arrays but in fact they are compiler protected variables).
An alternative you might think works, but fails us using one attribute per enumeration element. But that’s where Delphi RTTI leaves you in the dark: it does not expose the RTTI for enumeration elements (likely doesn’t even generate it), only the the enumeration type itself.
So this fails:
type
NameAttribute = class( TCustomAttribute )
private
FName: String;
public
constructor Create( AName : String );
property Name: String read FName;
end;
TMyEnumeration = (
[Name('One')]
meOne,
[Name('Two')]
meTwo
);

If you develop mobile apps with Delphi, you know it: compiling for Android and iOS is sloooooooooooooow, especially for debug builds. This little tip makes compiling Debug builds much faster……
Set the Debug information option to Limited Debug information
When I read a thing like that, I always think “how come I never thought about that before?” Well done Erik!

So we are all doomed: on debian, beep was an issue leading into a CVE. The fix is an issue too, and also has a CVE.

[WayBack] CLIFF Electronic Components – Quicktest:
The Quicktest is ideal for electrical shops, factories, labs and service departments.
With its lid open the wires of a plugless lead can be inserted into the insulated clips. When the lid is closed, current passes to the equipment being demonstrated or tested.
A neon light shows that the connector is live and ready to use. The fuse (BS 1362) is easily accessible for replacement.
The connector is made of tough, safe materials. The base is phenolic moulded for insulation and rigidity. The lid is flame retardant glass filled thermo plastic.
The insulated clips are colour coded for easy identification. The flexible cable grip will take any normal mains cable. Only one small screwdriver is needed for both the base entry and the terminal screws.
Another handy tool is this: [WayBack] Resistance Wheel | Jaycar Electronics, but it’s hard to get so you can build similar devices yourself with a few hours of work:

Many people use it that way. Which means I can put it on an old Raspberry Pi B+ revision 1.2 board (which Wikipedia indicates as the B 1+ in the Specifications table but as Raspberry Pi 1 Model B+ revision 1.2 in the schematics of connectors).
I might consider DietPi as distribution (which is Debian based) as it is even ligher.
See [WayBack] https://www.reddit.com/r/pihole/comments/6h39zr/is_a_raspberry_pi_1_good_enough_for_a_pihole/#divw0i5
One more note: I need to check out which Debian base name (which indicates the version) works best as there seemed to be a dnsmasq issue (not archived because discourse hatesdislikes the WayBack machine and Archive.is):
Like Apple, Android and Delphi, they use name based versions of which I always forget the order of. Luckily the source of the below table gets updated over time [2017 Archive.is, 2018 Archive.is] Debian releases and names – Electric Toolbox Debian releases are named after characters from Toy Story and are frequently referred to with the name rather than the version.:
