Getting the local IP (actually IPs, but most hosts only have a single IP):
# OS X:
alias whatismylocalip='ifconfig | sed -En '\''s/127.0.0.1//;s/.*inet (addr:)?(([0-9]*\.){3}[0-9]*).*/\2/p'\'''
# Linux:
alias whatismylocalip='ip a | sed -En '\''s/127.0.0.1//;s/.*inet (addr:)?(([0-9]*\.){3}[0-9]*).*/\2/p'\'''
I got them via bash – How to I get the primary IP address of the local machine on Linux and OS X? – Stack Overflow
Mac OS X and BSD have ifconfig, but most Linux distributions don’t use ifconfig any more in favour of iproute2, so you use ip a (which is shorthand for ip address show) there.
Their output is similar enough for the sed to work, though. Which surprised be because I didn’t know about the -E option (it lacks in the manual Linux page but it is in the Mac OS X one) which enables POSIX extended regular expressions. In Linux this is documented as -r, but -E also works.
I learned this through the Sed – An Introduction and Tutorial which compares the various versions of sed which also explains about the -n doing no printing.

via: “SF has lost track of buses because SFMTA didn’t upgrade from 2G (to 3G to 4G to LTE) and AT&T finally turned it off.” – Kristian Köhntopp – Google+
If anyone ever wants to have a batch of LTE dumb phones built:
+Jeroen Wiert Pluimers I’m not aware of simple-voice-only phones with LTE modem. From my former life at a telephone producer i remember costs to get a platform running and the effort spend on special editions, i’d say if you are willing to buy 50000 we could find someone producing this for you. In China. But as written above, a basic-2G service (for M2M and emergency signalling or calls) will stay for long.

I’m partially word-blind and an learn by association.
So thanks to the below links, I can now remember Urheberrecht:
It’s about Ur, Heber and Recht.

To match dd/mm/yyyy and mm/dd/yyyy column values in columns C (Date1) and N (Date2), I used these formulas in row 2:
| Meaning: |
Column: |
Formula: |
Explanation: |
| Date1Text |
I |
=TEXT(C2,”dd/mm/yyyy”) |
Interpret date text of the original text no matter the Excel settings |
| Date1Value |
J |
=DATE(RIGHT(I2,4),MID(I2,4,2),LEFT(I2,2)) |
Encode the date text to an actual date: dd#mm#yyyy format where # is any separator |
| DatesEqual |
K |
=J2=L2 |
Are the encoded dates equal? |
| Date2Value |
L |
=DATE(RIGHT(M2,4),LEFT(M2,2),MID(M2,4,2)) |
Encode the date text to an actual date: mm#dd#yyyy format where # is any separator |
| Date2Text |
M |
=TEXT(N2,”mm/dd/yyyy”) |
Interpret date text of the original text no matter the Excel settings |

Brilliant! Helped me to track down why an original 1st generation Chromecast didn’t want to connect to a Buffalo WLAE-AG300N.
The problem there is that the original Chromecast does only 2.4Ghz WiFi and the WLAE-AG300N favours 5Ghz WiFi over 2.4Ghz when set to auto.
The solution is in the last picture: basically force the WLAE-AG300N to use 11n/g/b only which limits it to 2.4Ghz (it cannot use both frequencies at the same time).
Yes, I know the Microwaves drawback, but as the original Chromecast only does 2.4Ghz. I’d rather get the Chromecast Ethernet adapter but Google refuses to ship these outside the USA.

With Xcode updating frequently and Delphi about yearly and often taking more than 1 go at fixing things, you get this scary thought:
Scott Pinkham
I’ve learned to not update Xcode, OSX or iOS until absolutely necessary, and even then I usually stick with an older version of Xcode that is known to be compatible with Delphi. It takes a while for Embaradero/Idera to fix issues every time Apple makes some breaking change. I recommend rolling back to an earlier version if you can.

Something to remember: Delphi To Go: Include resource files in your Delphi build process
Note it’s not enough to add a line like this to your .dpr file:
{$R 'New1.res' 'New1.rc'}
The resources actually needs to be part of your .dproj file (which basically is an XML msbuild file adhering to the MSBuild Project File Schema Reference).
That way, the BrccCompile target in $(BDS)\bin\CodeGear.Delphi.Targets will automatically pick it up during build.
I just checked and these target files support BrccCompile:
...\Embarcadero\RAD Studio\7.0\bin\CodeGear.Delphi.Targets ...\Embarcadero\RAD Studio\8.0\bin\CodeGear.Delphi.Targets ...\Embarcadero\RAD Studio\9.0\bin\CodeGear.Delphi.Targets ...\Embarcadero\RAD Studio\10.0\bin\CodeGear.Delphi.Targets...\Embarcadero\RAD Studio\11.0\bin\CodeGear.Delphi.Targets...\Embarcadero\RAD Studio\12.0\bin\CodeGear.Delphi.Targets...\Embarcadero\Appmethod\13.0\bin\CodeGear.Delphi.Targets...\Embarcadero\Studio\14.0\bin\CodeGear.Delphi.Targets ...\Embarcadero\Studio\15.0\bin\CodeGear.Delphi.Targets ...\Embarcadero\Studio\16.0\bin\CodeGear.Delphi.Targets ...\Embarcadero\Studio\17.0\bin\CodeGear.Delphi.Targets ...\Embarcadero\Studio\18.0\bin\CodeGear.Delphi.Targets
Which means it’s available as of Delphi 2007 until at least Delphi 10.1 Berlin and might even work in Delphi 2006
It could be a little bit flakey in Delphi 2007 (I’ve had many msbuild issues there) but more recent versions should be fine.
