Thursday, 16 September 2010. High DPI Support in Windows Vista and 7. 8212; Jan Goyvaerts @ 9:35. The screen on the recently released iPhone 4 has twice the resolution or four times the number of pixels than all preceding models. The new resolution is about 300 DPI, which is the resolution at which the human eye can no longer see the individual pixels. By comparison, most desktop monitors are around 96 DPI. New applications could specify in their manifest that they support high resolution screens. Ol...

Sunday, 30 December 2007. Filed under: Just Great Software. 8212; Jan @ 18:31. So how did I find out about the Paris Hilton article. Earlier this month I received an email from an analyst at a major venture capital firm. Specializing in software companies, including developer tool companies. He mentioned the article as the way he learned about our company. Funny how stories travel the world and connect people. Last November at the European Software Conference. Here’s one definition I found. The company, ...

Wednesday, 29 December 2010. Never Defragment an SSD. Filed under: Hardware and Gadgets. 8212; Jan Goyvaerts @ 10:16. Defragmenting mechanical hard disks is a good idea.

Monday, 1 November 2010. No Yes/No/Cancel, Please. 8212; Jan Goyvaerts @ 14:01. I never knew Delphi 2010 could detach from a running process until Delphi XE offered it as an option in a message box, replacing OK/Cancel with Terminate/Detach/Cancel. Make your application user-friendlier by using custom message boxes with custom buttons that clearly indicate their purpose and offer a full set of choices. Friday, 17 September 2010.

Wednesday, 1 October 2008. Needless String Checks with EnsureUnicodeString. 8212; Jan Goyvaerts @ 17:56. Suppose you have the following code in Delphi 2009:. Procedure TForm1.AddLengthTwice(const S: UnicodeString); begin Inc(Len, Length(S) ; Inc(Len, Length(S) ; end;. What would you expect the disassembly to look like? Something quick and efficient like this? Or something like this, with a bunch of extra checks and a function call thrown in for good measure:. 8220; It’s the last option in the first...

Wednesday, 29 December 2010. Never Defragment an SSD. Filed under: Hardware and Gadgets. 8212; Jan Goyvaerts @ 10:16. When a traditional hard disk with spinning platters and moving heads needs to read a (very large) file, it can do so much faster if the file is stored in an unbroken sequence of blocks on the drive. If different pieces of the file are spread around the drive, the hard disk’s heads need to physically move between those pieces. The time it takes is indicated as the seek time. These algorith...

Monday, 1 November 2010. No Yes/No/Cancel, Please. 8212; Jan Goyvaerts @ 14:01. Sometimes it’s the little features that make a software product much more usable. For as long as I can remember, closing Delphi, recompiling the application, or opening another project while your app was still running has always made Delphi ask: “Debug session in progress. Terminate? 8221; You could click OK to terminate your app, or click Cancel to stay where you were. Don’t do that! I don’t want to keep all my hard wo...

Friday, 17 September 2010. STRINGCHECKS Gone in Delphi XE. 8212; Jan Goyvaerts @ 8:10. Delphi 2009 was the first Delphi version to produce Unicode applications. When it was released I ranted about the needless strings checks. Delphi XE no longer does these strings checks. The functions that performed them, such as. Have been removed from System.pas. The Project Options screen no longer offers the “string format checking” compiler option. The compiler still accepts the. Thursday, 16 September 2010. The sc...
