X (twitter) posts at this point should either banned or require links to screenshots. I'm assuming this is a series of X-posts, but X now only shows a single X-post without any comments or context for anyone who doesn't have an X-

Nim shouldn't really be used in the same sentence as V. I've never used Nim, but I've never seen anyone out right say anything negative like that's said of V. The only thing close to "negative" regarding Nim I&

Interesting that the web ecosystem basically works on the ivory tower model. Roughly every 2 years there's some new ivory tower and a lot of greenfield projects move to that. Brownfield projects become legacy and go into maintenance mo

I came across an interesting fact about X86, > currently there are actually no modern x86 CPUs on the market. Both Intel and AMD don't actually use x86 cores, but instead proprietary RISC cores, with microcode that translates the x8

Exactly the type of response I was hoping to get. You've covered basically 90%+ of what I was after. Thank you for the great comment.

Have you used Lazarus or FreePascal for any significant project? I was hoping to get some insight from someone who's deeply familiar with it and can provide their experience and opinion after using it for a reasonable amount.

Free Pascal and Lazarus seem really really great, and I wanted to really look into the ecosystem, but doing a bit of surface researched revealed some concerns that held me back from going any deeper - Pascal seems like a mature language but

I used Pycharm briefly in 2017 and thought wow this is great, does a lot of type checking just out of the box. But after coming back to it in 2024, I found it quite lacking in multiple areas compared to LSP based type checkers. I work on a

Thanks! I'm assuming svg is more compute heavy, especially with animations and when its big. Maybe a gif might work if you want to keep the animation? You'd probaby want to look at how to make it high quality and small[1] Maybe a

diagram.net also has an electron app. I realize I can just have it open the xml in the git repo directly, no separate tedious import step that way. That was quite nice and a happy accident that I discovered.

A lot, or at least some, of the "hate" comes from the speculative, exploitative and get-rich-quick schemes, rather than the underlying technology behind it or any advancements. If you were able to separate the two, the socioeconom

I haven't read up too much about 174. Are you suggesting contractor pay can't be written off anymore as well, and thus is less attractive, even at a lower dollar/hour cost, than hiring domestically?
