When writing the Spring4D unit tests for GetTypeSize to include as many TTypeKind values, I came across a few types that either did not compile, or were not supported by TypeInfo. I listed them below as I could not find them in the documentation.
I included a test named Test_EnsureAllTTypeKindsCoveredByCallsTo_Test_GetTypeSize_ that verifies that all TTypeKind values except tkUnknown are covered. So future extensions of TTypeKind will make the tests fail.
As a side issue, I really wanted to know if tkUnknown could be emitted by the compiler. It can sort of, for instance by defining discontiguous enumerations, but are incompatible with TypeInfo as well.

I’m a command-line addict, so this was a great SuperUser question by Željko Filipin:
I know how to find Mac OS X version from GUI: Apple Menu (top left) > About This Mac
Is there a Terminal command that will tell me Mac OS X version?
It was answered by User delfuego:
You have a few options:
sw_vers -productVersion
system_profiler SPSoftwareDataType
These commands led me to this post: Finding OS X Version and Build Information From the Command Line | The Nubby Admin that also showed these commands:
uname -a
osascript -e 'system info'
Where uname shows only the kernal version, oascript gives a ton of information. Read the rest of this entry »

The estimate was that the Hydrogene bete would become public beta on March 1st 2014.
Well, Marc Hoffman did an even better announcement yesterday:
When, you are asking, is RemObjects C# going to be out? It’s out as of right now!Visit
http://www.remobjects.com/cs for details, trial download, and (of course) to purchase. Let us know what you think!
BTW: Most of my guessed URLs were right (:

I had my userid jeroenp show on all my commits, issues and other activity on BitBucket, though in SourceTree, hg config, gitconfig, etc I had configured my full name.
The fix was simple:
In my case, the full name was all in the First name field, then BitBucket thinks you don’t have a real name.

Wow, just wow for this teaser:

and this:
This page provides a few videos to help you get started with RemObjects C# for Android (and Java) development.
It is about Hydrogene, a.k.a. RemObjects C#, which – like Oxygene – also adds a few extensions to the C# language, just like Jolyon speculated december last year.
It wil be in beta tomorrow (:

Not only wow because this is cheap (though only 4K via HDMI at 30Hz as it is using HDMI 1.4).
But also wow because I didn’t know about The Tracktor.
But 28 inch might be a better fit to field of view, and come closer to my Retina MacBook Pro resolution (which is normally either at 1920×1200 or 2800×1800).
But it looks like neither of them are IPS. Bummer. Maybe wait until august.

I just installed the Google Now Launcher on my Nexus 4 that runs KitKat (Android 4.4) from the AppStore.
Looks nice, though I could not get “Call Brother” configured (it thinks there are 3 entries for him, and selecting any of them does not make a selection).
But being able to start voice stuff with one click less is convenient.
Now hopefully the battery duration won’t be affected by another piece of software.
