Living Room / Re: Looking for smartphone
« Last post by Tuxman on March 29, 2018, 02:13 AM »
2018 and I'm seriously concerned that there is no flagship smartphone with both a headphone jack and no bizarre hole in the display.

Except Samsung. :(

FYI (2): There will not be a new Gowser version. The next version of what was Gowser will be a rewrite with a radically different approach and a lot of additional features.

There is a "honeypot" feature which is said to help to get rid of spammers. I haven't tried it yet.

Someone wrote a comment system which I haven't known before:

BlogC++ supports it now. :)

You know what sucks?
E-mail address standards suck.

"very.(),:;<>[]\".VERY.\"very@\\ \"very\".unusual"@strange.example.com

Did you know that this is a valid e-mail address? Well, it is. Try to validate that!

Oh, wait, there is a solution for that: My very own e-mail validation library.

Will move away from GitHub some day. For now, it's there. Enjoy.

Is there a difference between "entertainment" and "humor"?

I have my own blog where I irregularly write about Windows and BSD software (and Linux security problems because I find it funny to poke them). I agree with wraith808 though: I could not promise to find something interesting at least once a week. Monthly would be doable though.
(Then again, my sarcasm is not for everyone's taste.)

I wanted to add article series. Turned out the developer (me) failed to write his code in an extensible way.

Well, BlogC++ has seven new files now.  ;D
And a new feature: Article series.

The fan of old-school tools strikes again.  8)
(NANY 2019, anyone?)

Do you know what's missing in both POSIX and Windows? Right: A sane way to rename files/directories with a regular expression.
The usual approach on POSIX systems is:

ls * | sed -E 's/(.*)text(.*)to(.*)remove(.*)/mv & "$1$2$3$4"/' | sh

That is horrendously ugly and does not port well to Windows. Here is my slightly less horrendously ugly attempt to fix that:

Enjoy.

I honestly wish more people would come back to Delphi (or Free Pascal, whatever floats your boat) so I can have more reasons to use Delphi for new projects because of a sane ecosystem. As it stands, every additional Delphi Unit that does not come from Embarcadero (or whatever their current name is) is pretty much left to rot. :(

(But Delphi sure does have a nice "standard" library.)

Thank you for the roundup!

I was informed by someone who actually wants to use ymarks  :huh: that I forgot to pack the winsqlite.dll file and some people seem to require it. I'll make a new archive in the evening (CET).

FYI: I had planned to write an Android version of Gowser for NANY '19. However, there already is an awesome Gopher client for Android which is exactly what I would have written:
