Apart from the very interesting poster: the next stop is RAD Studio 10.1 Berlin Version 24.0.22718.6766.
Apparently, I missed the previous RAD Studio 101. Berlin rumour and Tim Anderson mentioning Berlin in New Delphi and C++ Builder Roadmap promises Linux server support « Tim Anderson’s ITWriting as in the Delphi roadmap for 2016 it’s still called BigBen.
The docwiki start page is there, just not open for the public yet: http://docwiki.embarcadero.com/RADStudio/Berlin/en/Main_Page. Like right before Delphi 10 Seattle, it’s only available for writer, l10n, RADBeta, ConnectBeta, Employee.
Similarly, https://sourceforge.net/p/radstudiodemos/code/HEAD/tree/branches/RADStudio_Berlin/ is not there: it was added 20160311.
Still the TLS issues have not been solved, so the very bad SSLLabs rating of F stays stays the same as at before the start the 10 Seattle era.
Also apart from some comments, there still is no central official statement of the recent web-site breaches.
I’m not sure what an eminent new Delphi version can be of use when you can’t be sure your account data is secure and the product download is valid (i.e. not tampered with).
In other words: would you really trust a new Delphi version? I won’t yet, at least not for now.

Even though as of 12c R1, Oracle supports a row limiting clause, NHibernate 4.2 with Oracle.DataAccess.dll 2.112.3.0 does not support that.
When you let it generate the SQL for a LINQ Take call to limit the number of results, you get an exception like this (full exception and stack trace are below):
System.NotSupportedException was unhandled by user code
HResult=-2146233067
Message=Specified method is not supported.
The place where you Take is important, as this does fail:

Add these entries to your .vmx file:
MemTrimRate = "0"
sched.mem.pshare.enable = "FALSE"
prefvmx.useRecommendedLockedMemSize = "TRUE"
Works in VMware Fusion 5, 6, and 7. Probably 8 too.

Most typical Internet users will never see 1e100.net, but we picked a Googley name for it just in case (1e100 is scientific notation for 1 googol).

Mikrotik have statistics and way more features. The most lacking or disturbing features on the TP-LINK (none of which are mentioned in their documentation):
- The documentation mentions you can enable Enable Bandwidth Based Balance Routing then select the WAN connections to combine but that doesn’t work at all, even if you follow the bandwidth steps carefully.
- Balanced Routing work when you perform these steps as mentioned at time point 457 in this video https://youtu.be/YDUfP8a5zNY
- Enable Application Optimized Routing
- Enable Bandwidth Based Balance Routing
- Virtual-Server table can only handle 32 incoming port redirects; you get the message “Cannot add more than 32 Virtual Server entries” like in the picture below.
- No IPv6 support
- No way to show any statistics as graphs.
- Every once in a while the web interface becomes really really slow which only a reboot can resolve.
- You cannot have one of the WAN connections have multiple IP addresses.
- Local DHCP clients are not added to the DNS proxy which means you cannot resolve them by name.
- TCP Sequence Prediction: Difficulty=0 (Trivial joke)
- You cannot configure how often to check WAN connections
On the other hand: when you do balanced routing indeed bundles all the WAN connections, configured Virtual Servers do work well and WAN specific routing settings to what they need to.

Verdict: fine for home use, not good for real multi-WAN use.

After getting the pronunciation of bear wrong for the umpteenth time and searched for bear beer tear pear peer and more, I came across the below poem often wrongly attributed to George Bernard Shaw but in fact written by a Dutch guy: Gerard Nolst Trenité and called The Chaos.

Stefan Glienke worded it perfectly: Default(typeIdentifier) is a “magic” function that is implemented into the compiler and causes it to generate the correct code – like for records with managed fields it generates a call to FinalizeRecord and some instructions to zero the remaining fields.
