I’m no longer accepting GExperts donations via Flattr
Flattr have changed their terms an conditions. Since I haven't received a single cent via Flattr, I really can't be bothered what exactly they have changed and whether that's good or bad for me personally. So I have closed that account for good. That leaves only PayPal, if you want to make a donation to … Continue reading I’m no longer accepting GExperts donations via Flattr

Delphi instance methods and value types
David Heffernan commented on Girish Patil's post on G+ But you should never make instance methods on value types that mutate the value. Otherwise you can call such a method on an instance passed to a function as a const parameter.
