Damnatio Memoriae

By AB4327-GANDI, 2010-07-24. Pascal Programming

You sure heard about the "CrossKylixGate"... A Great tool I used for years (CrossKylix) has just been updated. Its author (named Simon) posted an announcement in the Embarcadero forums. Then the post has been deleted by "Team B" members, because of some old story.

But not only Simon has been censured. Since I like and use this free tool, I posted a very "soft" post just with the announcement of the CrossKylix update, with some explanations and precisions. No debate. Just a link to the download page. Then my whole thread was deleted.

It just sounds like a "damnatio memoriae" to me.

Delphi doesn't like multi-core CPUs (or the contrary)

By AB4327-GANDI, 2010-07-15. Pascal Programming

If you're like me, you are proud of the new CPU your computer runs on - in my case a i7-720Q with 8 embedded cores...

But Delphi is not very multi-thread or multi-core friendly... guess why....
