That doesn't seem fair. Apple had the same issues with their native clang compiler for a decade; and they were the primary sponsor/host of it. The open source version will always be bleeding edge compared to any commercially pac

They say right on the release announcement that they have a clang-based compiler and that the system supports 64-bit binaries.

Imagine classic Visual C++ with it's form builder (versus the modern WinRT stuff) and hooks...it's much like that. I would say the experience is a little smoother. I do remember the version I used to use had issues with the form b

Mostly, although Lazarus has an incompatible ABI (LCLs vs VCLs). So legacy projects relient on third-party components don't benefit from it.

I think people should rephrase it to "not engineered to last/repair". This is a much easier metric to point out and is about equivalent (though, less nefarious) to what they mean. If you use that metric, it's insanely ea

They're also a gamedev. In the beginning, their assets were leftover/reutilized from their games to help other gamedevs with placeholder assets. Now, that's kinda more of their thing, with them developing entire asset packs f

I mean, the paradigm would be a iterable-based dispatch. There's no name (that I know of) for such a specific (and yet, weirdly general) implementation. I agree with many others in this thread when it comes to this being too specific t

> Django is just Python. Rails is just Ruby. There's nothing special to them and extending when necessary is often trivial, particularly because they have such mature extension points. Eh, I wouldn't agree with that. Both Djang

I say this as someone that does like Django. I had the opposite opinion. If you were trying to convert Rails, Laravel or CakePHP users, this would just convince them that Django was more manual and involved than those frameworks. It would b

It lacks a whole slew of things you would expect in a GP language, or requires you to jump through massive hoops to achieve the same results. Imagine trying to program a desktop application in SQL. You could probably achieve it through so

I messed around with it, thinking it seemed interesting and could be useful to know Just-In-Case. One thing I didn't get, until I started messing with it, is that COBOL isn't a general purpose language. There's a whole catego

The visual editor is the same...but even with VB Classic, you couldn't just design a UI and have it magically work, you needed to wire up the logic. That component has a much higher learning curve backed by a particularly more diffic

It's plastic, sure (it's a midrange laptop); but solid and definitely not creaky/bendy. The screen housing is the weakest part. Not weak per se, but not as solid as the body. I would recommend watching some video reviews of i

I have the ASUS Zephyrus G14 and it works great. All S-states are supported and function fine. It's Zen3, however. I would assume the Framework 13 or 16 would function equally well and are Zen4-based.

I use an all-AMD laptop with Linux daily. I haven't noticed any major issues. And, in fact, I have more issues with my Intel/nVidia laptop, especially with regards to power management.

Two months' severance? That hasn't been a norm in ages. You're lucky to get 2 (maybe 4) weeks and a month's worth of COBRA (in California). Edit: I'm not defending it and it's just anecdotal; but it's defi

I hate this, actually. I think it's fair to be able to comment on companies that are using the platform to advertise, in case there are things that need to be know. Even reddit lets you comment on advertising posts.

While it is slightly about the money, it's mostly about the inequity of work. You say "doing the work"...well, the person with the job is doing 8hrs/day and 40hrs/wk to pay for everything. You should be willing to p
