Yes, we work with farmers in India - we teach them organic and natural farming and we find ways to sell their produce to customers in the cities. www.unifield.in

A browser engine which supports a subset of the features of Chrome, Firefox etc and can be used as a lightweight and fast alternative to Nodejs/Electron for cross-platform desktop app development could be a really useful product.

Wow! this is good! I didn't even know such a thing existed. Are you the person who wrote this? if so would like to contribute in some way.

:) yes

Not surprised one bit! Would you happen to have a link to this experiment?

Thank you. Will read this later.

I would argue that Lazarus is a lot better than Go + QT on many counts - including the fact that it is completely free and you don't have to get an expensive QT developer license. Think Visual Basic but cross-platform, with a much bett

This is such an amazing writeup. You are an extremely patient person. I hope this gets some press coverage in India. It is shameful that the whole process is so stuck in bureaucracy

Unfortunately I am not sure if there are other ways of doing this. You may want to check with one of the primary backend services of the payment gateways - fsstech.com

True. They will need some sort of an Indian subsidiary or go through an Indian registered company to allow Razorpay or Instamojo payments

A open lake is not a controlled environment - unlike a person's house. You cannot change out the water in a lake, it is exposed to all sort of weather and climatic conditions, fauna and flora etc. The same applies to open farming vs gr

As someone who works with farmers, I completely and totally agree. This is like saying that you can grow X goldfishes in your tiny little aquarium and therefore it should be possible to grow X * FACTOR in a lake which is FACTOR size bigger.

The best option is to tie up with a payment gateway like Razorpay, Instamojo etc. They allow a variety of payment methods including UPI and also what is called "Net Banking" - which is direct transfers from a bank account even wit

Couldn't they have just used a prefix. Eg: G_MARCH1 instead of renaming the whole set?

Yes, you do need to use Object / Free Pascal but it is actually quite a nice language and you can interface with C libraries quite easily

The latest version is actually quite stable. I use this on Linux though

Or you can use a Lazarus IDE which is very fast to develop in, generates native cross platform binaries which are very fast and also tiny. https://www.lazarus-ide.org/

I think Lazarus is a much better environment for creating desktop apps which are small, cross-platform and very fast. The component architecture is much more advanced than Godot and you have access to a huge number of components. Extending

Table-based layouts are basically really practical for layouts. It could really have been extended to make it more styleable and also to allow for stackable columns and more responsive layouts instead of whole sale replacing them with CSS a

The Gemini protocol throws away a huge number of advances - in effect throwing the baby out with the bath water. Gemini protocol could have been a subset of HTTP and the document format could have been a subset of HTML. For instance, if you

.NET really does not have the component architecture with property pages etc in the same way that Delphi has - along with the ability to register itself into an IDE etc.. I could be wrong though
773.
by pkphilip 6y ago
Well said. The problem with the Gemini protocol and its proponents is that they are trying to push a protocol (if you can call it that) which makes no sense when what they want to achieve can be achieved much more easily using an alternate

There are other ways of generating electricity apart from electrolysis. For example, from food waste through yeast and other methods. Yes, there is some energy being used but you are talking about material which would go waste anyway: http

Plone is really heavy duty in comparison to Strapi. Plone is what you use if you want a CMS for an enterprise. Strapi is what you use if you want a very lightweight CMS and you find even something like wordpress too heavy.
