I'm wondering today after receiving my renewal quote which is 50% of the value of a new license, do we ever get the right to force Embarcadero to do what they promised or do we always have to have a relationship with them where we pay money and continue to be let down. I don't want to start a debate about roadmaps and all that. I run a software company as well and our clients expect us to define a future direction, give them guidance on what's coming and deliver on our promises. When it comes to Embarcadero they shipped 10.2 on 22nd March 2017. They got everyone to move across to subscription so we can stay up-to-date etc and said look we will probably ship 2 releases a year now. 10.3 comes out 21st November 2018 and the quality control is just not there - its one of the buggiest versions I've seen in a while right there in your face. Yet we've heard no apologies, no updates on when 10.3 might actually be ready to production use etc. What I find more frustrating is ...

sharing data with yourself across platforms Apple has iCloud and there's a Notes app where you can jot down notes on iOS and MacOS devices and see them on your other iOS and MacOS devices. It's nice if your ecosystem is 100% Apple. I'm wondering if there's anything similar that runs on iOS, MacOS, Android, and Windows? Just a simple notes-like app where you can designate a folder in, say, Dropbox, and any changes made by one instance are reflected in the others when you open them up. My phone is an LG running Android and I'm getting an increasing number of attachments in text messages from other people that I need to print or deal with on my desktop computer, which is a MacBook Pro. Email on my phone is a PITA, and so is GMail. Even trying to save attachments to Dropbox is a pain. Sometimes I'll be using one of my Android tablets and come across a web page that I want to look at later on my desktop. What do I do? I can send text messages to others, but not to my...

Delphi 10.3 is online.

Hello everyone, with Delphi 10.3 release I'd like your opinion, please. Finally we will have an optimized, modern compiler with vectorization support, SIMD, AVX2 and etc? I see in this list below a series of compilers with its advantages and disadvantages. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_compilers In this list we have mixed/cross-compilers C ++ and CUDA Will I find this with Delphi 10.3? Embarcadero could create a Wrapper and compilation parameters to facilitate the I work with AVX, because I have to do it all manually ever. What are the performance advantages of my clients will receive by me to develop using this new pascal syntax will it generate more optimized code or will it be more of the same? Thank you. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_compilers

Delphi Rio - New IDE Configuration with Search Box - New compiler dialog - Improve code completion - Inline variables

I am considering scraping his place - this place is a goldmine of info I have an engine that works, and I did it (twice?) for our google community. It grabs the threads too, drilling down till it reaches the end (and grabs the original off site post if applicable). It can grab the text, and can also make bitmaps. The posts could (in theory) be moved to a new location. At worst, indexed into a DB. I really don't need the info, so I would probably need some sort of incentive to do it, (or someone else could code it). It's a lot of work. My lovely wife once had some fun arranging the articles into a google like view. You can try my little shoddy job at the link below, by tying in something like "raspberry pi" or "Joe". https://search.code4sale.com/sbcgplus/search.cgi

Stumbled upon https://www.embarcadero.com/news/logo . The web-designer has put a transparent gray-sceen over the /main page/ when the mouse hoovers over the /top menu-pane/ ... but only in the menu!! I have seen LOADS of bad and annoying web-site and web-app designs the last decade. This is one that rapidly moves up to the top-10. Really. WHY? Anyone not agreeing with me, if you care to comment, i'd appreciate it. I just cannot get my head around the "why" in this. https://www.embarcadero.com/news/logo

Just a tip for anybody who works with very large files, like VM and such... I recently bought an external SSD drive that plugs into a USB3 plug, and they absolutely SCREAM! I've got some VM files that are 70-130 GB in size, and it would take 2-3 hours to back them up to external HDDs, especially on Windows. I don't know why, but they start out with a nice transfer rate at around 100 Mbps then slow down. Windows 10 is horrible with this. I got a 500MB Samsung T5 SSD device, and it lets me backup and restore these huge VM files in 4-6 MINUTES!!! It's unfricking believable! WD has a similar device that's 512 GB with similar performance. I've been curious about getting an internal SSD and mounting it inside of an external chassis, but I haven't had good luck with transfer rates on external devices. So I don't trust the specs on them. The funny thing is, the vendors seem to be targeting certain capacity devices as their "sweet spot". These 500-512 GB de...

Is anyone know what's happened to DelphiForFun and Gary ?

Is it possible to select and copy a text in G+ comment? I can select texts in original posts, but if I click on a comment G+ suggests to report the comment or see the comment's author activity, giving no chance to select text.
