15 months later: what happened to Delphi Language Enhancements?

Posted by jpluimers on 2018/03/13

This is a reminder to myself to see what Idera has accomplished in 15 months on the suggested [WayBack] Delphi Language Enhancements after it bought Embarcadero some 30 months ago on credit and 21 months after firing a very large portion of the Delphi R&D team even outside Spain.

The odd thing is that despite all the Borland, Inprise, Codegear and Embarcadero hassle Delphi has always survived. So lets this be my reminder to investigate what happened.

uitcheckgemist.nl

Posted by jpluimers on 2018/03/12

Een aantal jaar met wat minder OV en ik heb gemist dat dit in 2015 is geïntroduceerd: uitcheckgemist.nl [WayBack 2015]:

Niet in- of uitgecheckt? Vraag je saldo terug in drie simpele stappen!

Hoe werkt dit?

  1. Vul je OV-chipkaart gegevens in
  2. Halte of station
  3. Bevestiging Je gegevens

Goed om te weten: het kan even duren voordat je rit op deze website wordt getoond. In de meeste gevallen kun je je saldo binnen 14 dagen terugvragen.

Je kunt er ook een email adres registreren voor een automatische melding (maximaal 3 keer per jaar) als je bent vergeten uit of in- te checken.

How do I disconnect all other users in tmux? – Stack Overflow

Posted by jpluimers on 2018/03/12

The joy of single character command-line switches, so thanks [WayBack] demure for answering at [WayBack] How do I disconnect all other users in tmux? – Stack Overflow:

You can use <prefix> D (where prefix is C-b by default), to chose which clients to detach; it will also list they col/lines as well as the last used time.

You could also use tmux’s detach-client option

 detach-client [-P] [-a] [-s target-session] [-t target-client]
               (alias: detach)
         Detach the current client if bound to a key, the client specified
         with -t, or all clients currently attached to the session speci-
         fied by -s.  The -a option kills all but the client given with
         -t.  If -P is given, send SIGHUP to the parent process of the
         client, typically causing it to exit.

either from <prefix>:followed by detach [options] or on the command line inside tmux with tmux detach [options]

What is Swapfile.sys and How Do You Delete It?

Posted by jpluimers on 2018/03/09

Windows 10 (and 8) include a new virtual memory file named swapfile.sys. It’s stored in your system drive, along with the pagefile.sys and hiberfil.sys. But why does Windows need both a swap file and a page file?

…

In summary, the swapfile — swapfile.sys — is currently used for swapping out Microsoft’s new style of app. Microsoft has called these universal apps, Windows Store apps, Metro apps, Modern apps, Windows 8 apps, Windows 8-style UI apps, and other things at various points.
