Ahh the VB vs Delphi War..... That brings back memories. I agree that Lazarus looks more mature, however shifting to a pure C backend would actually allow them to be more portable as I believe Lazarus uses FPC which can use a LLVM backend.

I Agree. I think a lot of nerds start out a lot more naïve and idealistic. It seems the further along you go the more you distrust anyone saying something works out of the box without a good explanation of why as you have been burnt before.

From a skim through the article, it seems to require soldering onto the power line between the voltage regulator and the processor to trigger the voltage drop. I don't believe the VR circuitry could be caused to glitch in the desired w

Markets like web hosting will eat any discounted 2.5” enterprise SSDs. Don’t even mention stuff like chia. There is such a large market for 2.5” storage that I don’t think we are going to have a large discounted sell off, unlike say DDR4 EC

For geek cred you could put in another Network or Storage adapter and do ISCSI or FC. SAS would allow 2 to share storage, however I don't think SAS supports more then 2 initiators. Directly connecting every host to a pool of Flash chip

Except with IPv4... it hasn't been solved because there just isn't enough addresses. And most organisations I have worked with on AWS is still predominately IPv4.

Its not a deal breaker, but it is a severe concern. For the following reasons that require me to trust you and become vulnerable to: Vendor / Platform Viability - If you shut down or deprecate your platform (looking at you google!) - I

The value is that open source works better in the open. Maybe your writing an app that deals with some obscure data feed and feeds it into some home automation. Maybe the data comes in a format your language doesn't have a good library

The biggest change to working remote vs in-office is communication. Some organisations have done well and make sure communication is shared across all staff easily. Other organisations require proximity as you only get the full picture by o

You need to work out where you sit on the efficiency vs development speed and your architecture. If your focusing on development speed to be able to add features and trying to grow quickly, then your should lean towards where existing skill

I would say in Brisbane, Australia the average pay for a Mid level is a $110k AUD package, with seniors being $130k AUD up. Keep in mind Australian listed salaries are often BASE. On top of this you need to factor an additional 9.5% superan

The use case is marketing email. Sending to non-existent addresses can radically affect deliverability. If the address is to a large host, then they will use reaching invalid email addresses as evidence that you are not keeping to best prac

Any chance of a beefy server and use them as terminals? AliExpress has some cost effective x79 / x99 Dual Xeon Mobo / CPU / RAM combos. System would be Sandy Bridge / Haswell. But 24 cores and 128gb of ram can go a long

There is a bunch of small tools that exist online (base64 encoders, hash functions, SPF rule generators, etc). Most of these wouldn't make much money, maybe enough to cover hosting. I could imagine someone basically picking these up an

I think you will find that dog (pet) importation is more highly correlated with higher income, thus while the highest population countries are listed, in % wise, higher migration will be from Europe. In outside the covid pandemic, I think y

I get the feeling the issue is that they haven't been able to bring their community along for the Open Source ride. The community it seems is looking for MS to guide them, rather then taking ownership of the ecosystem. I don't kno

The criticism comes from many angles. It IS a very capable war-plane for many of its roles. Much more capable then the harrier and with many capabilities that the F-16 & F-18 lack. It has different solutions to the problems it faces t

Is this really a "We don't need radar anymore" or a "we can't possibly get enough radar components (at the price we want for margins), so we are going to switch earlier then hoped"?

I wonder if this is due to a change in accounting or such. I would imagine an action like this in response to being told that they had to account for these 1:1 as a liability, or even just a need to reduce these liabilities. However I imagi

Glad to hear they are open sourcing, and I hope it works well for them. I think being open source is going to be required to get pyston supported by the rest of the python community. As i know for many organisations I have worked for python
