Yes, as is the VCL that Delphi ships, along with the Lazarus component library which bases on Qt or GTK on Linux, and Win32 on Windows. It's the same sort of layer.

Lazarus is crazy good, as is Delphi, if you can afford it. wxWidgets is also nice, without the licensing weirdness that is Qt.

It doesn't matter - what Microslop says and what they do are traditionally very distinct things. But in case you want to read yourself: https://blogs.windows.com/windows-insider/2026/03/20/our-com...

Bitcoin won? I don't think it did. Main use is still scams, circumventing sanctions, and grifting. My SEPA instant money transfer does everything bitcoin promised without the trash, and bad people surrounding bitcoin.

Delphi is still the absolute fastest way to create win32 gui applications, and anybody who disagrees has never used it. Lazarus is a pretty sweet solution on Linux (or Codetyphoon, if you want more out of the box components).

The kind of people who voted for trump would never admit they made a mistake. They double down on stupidity instead.

No. You're a human, who went through real life experiences. You learned, developed as a human being. You made mistakes and grew from them. You did what you have to do to advance. What you output has intrinsic value because of all this.

All LLM-output is slop. There's no good LLM output. It's stolen code, stolen literature, stolen media condensed into the greatest heist of the 21. century. Perfect capitalism - big LLM companies don't need to pay royalties to

That's maybe a problem of east Germany in particular. I see Balkonkraftwerke (small balcony solar arrays, 1-4 modules with a microinverter plugged directly into an outlet) everywhere when I drive through major west German cities, even

Because human errors are, well, human. And producing code that contains those errors is a human endeavor. It bases on years, decades of learning. Mistakes were made, experience was gained, skills were improved. Reasoning by humans is relata

Hugely unpopular opinion on HN, but I'd rather use code that is flawed while written by a human, versus code that has been generated by a LLM, even if it fixes bugs. I'd gladly take a bug report, sure, but then I'd fix the is

Man, you never used Delphi or Lazarus then. That was comfortable and easy. Web by comparison is just a jarring mess of unfounded complexity.

Agreed. But Trump is the absolute last straw, and it seems some people needed that earthquake to finally wake up in the EU.
