Delphi history: No, dynamic arrays do not support a non-zero lower bound, but what if you want them? – via Stack Overflow

Posted by jpluimers on 2017/11/21

A post of some older Delphi stuff I did in the past just in case need it again.

David Heffernan found the documentation for this: [WayBackStructured Types (Delphi): Dynamic Arrays – RAD Studio

Since I needed a dynamic array structure supporting a non-zero lower bound, I was glad he also provided an answer with a data structure that does provide a non-zero lower bound.

For my own reference I’ve put his answers and questions below (as it’s way easier to search my blog than the complete internet) and my own implementation:

It requires Windows 10 Version 1709 (Fall_Creators_Update) which has build number 10.0.16299.

CompuServe’s forums, which still exist, are finally shutting down on 20171215

Posted by jpluimers on 2017/11/20

An era ends: [Archive.isCompuServe’s forums, which still exist, are finally shutting down

Before there was a World Wide Web, a sizable chunk of all meaningful conversation between computer users happened in the forums at CompuServe, which was the dominant online service until AOL came along. There was a CompuServe forum for everything from PC hardware to comic books, the signal-to-noise ratio was generally high, and … they if you … will be removed from what remains of CompuServe on December 15.

github – Open Atom editor from command line – Stack Overflow

Posted by jpluimers on 2017/11/17

I have the Atom editor and was wondering how you can open a file or folder from the terminal in Atom. I am using a Mac. I am looking for a way to do this: atom . (opens folder) atom file.js (

The answer to it isn’t any good any more (since then, Atom has evolved), but this comment works splendid:

I solved the issue by choosing “Install Shell Commands” under the “Atom” menu.

It will add a script in /usr/local/bin/atom that starts Atom with the parameters you entered.

Thanks [WayBackrxgx!
