Finder doesn’t work since Yosemite – Ask Different

Posted by jpluimers on 2017/02/20

Source: Finder doesn’t work since Yosemite – Ask Different [WayBack]:

This fix from Reddit worked perfectly for me!!

http://www.reddit.com/r/osx/comments/2jtikj/finder_not_responding_new_yosemite_install/ [WayBack]

You can most likely fix the issue by clearing out Finder’s saved state, caches, and/or settings.

Use Spotlight (the search icon in the far right of the menu bar) to find and open the “Terminal” application. Triple-click the following line in order to copy and paste it into Terminal’s window:

rm -fR ~/Library/Saved\ Application\ State/com.apple.finder.savedState ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.finder; killall Finder

If it still doesn’t work, try this one:

mv ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder{,.backup}.plist; killall Finder

“Developer Desks” – multi monitor setups in “Trading System” disguise.

Posted by jpluimers on 2017/02/17

via: “Developer Desks” – I think this company is artificially limiting their source of income. – Kristian Köhntopp – Google+

Interesting as the company provides multi-monitor fitting systems up to 8 wide by 4 high and full solutions (including PC and monitor) of 7 wide by 2 high monitors. Even custom made solutions are possible: Sonderlösungen – Trading-PC. They provide electric height adjustment systems too:Elektrische Höhenverstellung – Trading-PC.

Their sister company provides desks and other furniture related to multi-monitor systems: Sedergo – High-End Furniture Made in Germany. They provide height adjustable desks as well: Elektrische Höhenverstellung. Both companies are owned by XECURIS GmbH & Co. KG

One day, I’ll redo the office (:

Now that Delphi will reintroduce Linux as a target: what features / support do you expect in the compiler and libraries?

Posted by jpluimers on 2017/02/17

Almost 2 decades after the first Delphi Linux support in [WayBack] Borland Kylix by an full tool-chain (IDE, compiler, debugger, libraries) running on Linux, Embarcadero/Idera is about to support Linux again in a cross-compiler fashion that was originally scheduled for late 2016 as Delphi Godzilla [WayBack] Embarcadero RAD Studio 2016 Product Approach and Roadmap – Embarcadero Community and [WayBack] Linux support for Delphi to be available end of 2016 – Synopse.

It seems to be finally getting here as Delphi 10.2 Tokyo when you look at the [Archive.is] Delphi Linux Boot Camp promotion for instance at [WayBack] Delphi Linux Boot Camp – Community Blogs – Embarcadero Community.

I’m curious at what people expect from it.

So please comment your expectations, for instance:

  • what Linux distribution targets
  • what processor architectures
  • what language support (ARC, classic, 1-based strings, etc)
  • what library support
  • what IDE support (like debugger features)
  • what speeds

If you want to get a head start, then read these:

Apple ][ history – Nibble magazine

Posted by jpluimers on 2017/02/16

I recently found some old magazine issues of my early programming escapades. It reminded me of the really old days where – as a school kid – I tried to buy Nibble magazine at a regular base. It was expensive (I think it was around 8 Dutch Guilders (or NLG) – close to EUR 4 – which was a lot for me, though less expensive than diskettes that were like NLG 10 each).

But it was fun as the magazine focussed at computer programs and programming transitioned my life. From Integer Basic via AppleSoft Basic (and various smaller attempts in FORTH, MuSimp, LISA Assembler and LOGO) to Turbo Pascal on CP/M.

Recently I learned that all issues (16k pages total!) have been scanned and OCR-ed and can be obtained on DVD for a modest price. Even better: all their software is available for free.

Just follow these links:

For some history:

Posted by jpluimers on 2017/02/15

As many of other guys who have experienced that, I woke up one morning with “Operating system not found” and BAD_CTX as serial number. I was thousands miles from home and I only had the laptop itself and Ubuntu Live CD. I immediately started reading this forum and found the following: – the
