   Ah indeed, I am one of those painful macOS users.. the carelessness with which the mother company changes and/or breaks API's overnight still boggles my mind. It's funny, I have some experience with Swing, from work, and I ki

   Genuine, non-trolling question: why wxWidgets instead of, say QT or GTK? ((Looking into GUI toolkits for a side project, I was thinking about one of the SDL-based ones but really unsure now))

    Ah, just as I was contemplating giving up on the tangled mess that my own register allocation code is evolving into... Inspiring read. Thanks!

    A BIG thank you for this! A phenomenally useful little utility that saved my day more than once. PS: back in the day, I'd read somewhere that the Linux equivalent of DOS's REN was "mv". So then I tried: mv *.CPP *

    1) Big machine awesomeness!! Respect++ to you. 2) Funny, I did a fair bit of freelancing at construction companies back in the early 90's, mostly using Paradox (3.x DOS, if I'm not wrong) and mostly helping out with the insane rep

    On what platform(s) do you run Lazarus if I may ask? Does it work reliably for you? I've tried Lazarus a while ago on macOS and the out-of-the-box experience seemed a bit flaky, unable to compile (or run) a simple writeln('hello w

    In the linked chat with Lex Fridman, Loeb also mentioned how such objects are likely to be zipping by essentially all the time. It'd be great if by the time we spot the next one (of whatever nature) we had a probe/robot/some

    Walter, can you elaborate on this, are D's slices functionally equivalent to C++'s string_view? I.e. no copying as long no 'ASCIIZ-dependent' code is involved?

    Nice. Some look sort of acid/trippy but others look very slick and eh, super-usable. I'd love to play with an actual implementation. Something Dear ImGui-sh would be great...

    That monolith vs Proxomitrons bit would be an interesting and important distinction to make, if it does turn out to be extraterrestrial and unequivocally technological it wouldn't necessarily count as evidence that intelligent life has

    More about the frequency drift: "The positive drift rate actually to me argues in favor of it being extrasolar technology, because that implies it is significantly accelerating with respect to the barycentric frame." https:&#x2
