I don't understand the fixation on hiring $LANGUAGE devs. If you can't find any developers using your current stack, pay for a course or a book for them and train them on it. Training a competent developer to use a new programmi

This makes a lot of sense for EV trucks and large SUVs in particular. Towing and hauling demolish EV range. A 400 mile range Hummer that has 150-200 miles range while towing a trailer would be a game changer. https://www.carand

I think unfortunately what holds Lazarus back is the Pascal programming language. Although it is a very capable language that can hold its own against other languages, it suffers from a reputation of being obsolete. It’s a pity that the C

It looks like NetBSD and FreeDOS are the last major operating systems that support 486s. Even OpenBSD and Minix require at least a Pentium processor.

There are advertised features of Teslas that are vaporware, but it’s a stretch to call them vaporware. xAI is also very real. Others have mentioned SpaceX. He bought Twitter/X but that’s not vaporware either. Neuralink is also real

Always great to see native macOS apps! Is there a reason you aren’t using SwiftUI for the whole thing and that you opted for Core Data instead of Swift Data?

Is there a good reason to use Oracle Java other than support or as part of some bigger licensing deal that includes other Oracle products that you are using? My understanding is that there are several other OpenJDK builds that are availabl

That’s not really a fair comparison. Fuel consumption is just one of many important factors to consider when car shopping. For instance, a small sedan doesn’t fit my entire immediate family. For some parts of the country 4 wheel drive or

Let me make it more clear, the process goes something like this… 1. I’m not paying that much for an app 2. Oooh that one’s free 3. Oh if I pay for a monthly subscription I get all these cool features 4. If I pay $X I can get those cool feat
