I think Visual Studio has the right idea with being primarily MDI but then all of the various windows can detach and float to other screens and wherever. I think if Windows would just render your desktop background on the MDI background ins

oh dang I used D7 for years and didn't know you could configure it into this mode. I would've preferred it at the time. I'd say clearly Lazarus is tracking the best of Delphi, not just version 2 from 1995.

I think maybe Delphi 5 was the first version where it stopped even being an option. I remember 3 was MDI and I'm surprised I never bothered looking for the option to switch it back.

Lazarus is basically a Delphi 2 clone. Delphi ditched the multiple floating windows design starting in version 3 and every subsequent version has been the more traditional "MDI" design similar to Visual Studio. I really like that

further in she cites Aristotle potential vs. actual which I guess is more philosophy than math but it covers the point you're making now.

[the divide] separates two kinds of mathematical statements: “finitistic” ones, which can be proved without invoking the concept of infinity, and “infinitistic” ones, which rest on the assumption — not evident in nature — that infinite obje

every instruction set architecture has an encoding format and rules for how to encode every instruction, register, and memory address. it's usually the assembler's job to ensure this is done correctly and to the spec but there&#x2

well sure, but i'm referring to additional risk relative to 8/1. if you were comfortable storing your money with Coinbase before then 8/1 shouldn't deter you.

the third fork is https://github.com/btc1/bitcoin which combines segwit and large blocks, afaik they all support segwit - they just differ in how they reach consensus. I don't think anyone is pushing for no change

the only way your money is at risk with Coinbase is if BTC itself does lose out - the so called 'wipeout' scenario described here: https://blog.bitmain.com/en/uahf-contingency-plan-uasf-bip14... 'wipeout

Curious to see the 3D and 4D Mandelbrot using this method. Should look something like the last visualization on this page http://www.skytopia.com/project/fractal/mandelbrot.html but with more bulbs?

still not a bad alternative to localbitcoins.com, you could arrange to exchange cash in person or mail money orders around which could still be cancelled if the escrow fails.

Nominal fees don't work because someone will just lay the $5 per account knowing they can sell them later for more. Even Reddit accounts aren't free when you factor in the cost/time to set them up and build a bit of karma.

Ethereum isn't trying to be some sort of generic distributed computing platform. The notion of writing a dApp to do distributed 3D rendering is outrageously stupid. The idea is to program your money. Here's a dollar that can only

I don't think you need a blockchain to decentralize something like Facebook. You just want to verify that so-and-so did in fact make this comment and this other person did in fact like it. That can all be ensured with asymmetric encryp
