I hope this project makes it big EVEN IF the hardware is not as open as we would like it to be. I am done with the price gouging and the other practices of companies like HP. I hope this company gets big enough and starts licensing its tech

V Lang is under appreciated. If you want to really see its simplicity and expressiveness, one look at its ORM will be enough. It is a thing of beauty: https://modules.vlang.io/orm.html

True. Incremental compilation in Delphi is quite something else.

True. The older databases run very well even on hardware which was far less powerful than what is available now.

True. Having written a bootloader and also the code for switching to 32-bit protected mode etc, you get to see a lot of esoteric magic which doesn't make a lot of sense and which you can't also remember. For this it is best to go

You are buying the assets from the previous company but not its liabilities. So the previous company can file for bankruptcy without affecting the new company. Also, since the new company is buying the assets, it improves the books in the o

Very interesting OS but it is a bit difficult to get my mind around this one as it is so different from any other OS out there. Is there a default option within Sculpt where you can easily get access to a desktop with a app launch option, e

You assume that the left and the right already existed - and the media is just pandering to these divisions. But I think it goes beyond that. The same media houses own the left and the right wing media and I think it is part of their agenda

Reminds me of the time when I consulted with a very large newspaper chain in the US which owned a lot of papers - both left leaning and right leaning. we used to get feeds from all of the usual sources. But the news articles themselves wer

What happens when the press refuses to publish anything which doesn't align with their financial or political interest?

True. This seems like an amazing device especially given the total B.S Google and Apple have been throwing at us. I would buy this in a heartbeat if it were available in my country.

Great to see the advances happening in Hydrogen storage and transport! 90C temperatures for storage are easily achieved and such an improvement over 300-400c for storage. I do wonder about the efficiency though as that has not been clearly

This looks really cool! congratulations to the person who made this! Is there a video demo of this somewhere? I am amazed that you also managed to write a browser engine!

Do you live in an apartment complex? Many apartment complexes have already negotiated with the mafia to get these connections

If you go by examples like that then there are a number of nations you cannot support at all - consider for example that China has the Uyghur concentration camps, US has Guantanamo Bay and now the new prisons in partnership with El Salvador

Actually, I am talking about a literal mafia. In my area there is just one "official" internet provider (Airwire) which is partly owned / controlled by a politician who was recently accused of killing a property owner who ref

This is absolutely true and I am referring to Bangalore - the so-called IT capital of India. Here the Internet access is completely controlled by the mafia. But in a lot of cities, this is not the case.

What is a "general purpose" computer? who decides what is "general" or not? what can you not do in a mobile phone which you cannot do on a regular desktop / laptop computer? If anything, a mobile phone has MORE capa

It is time to get the government to recognise mobile phones as being full fledged computers and which require the same consumer protections. Just because you are carrying it around all the time doesn't make it any less a computer.

PHP's type system is so "dynamic" that it is very easy to build frameworks for it. For instance, PHP allows for even function calls like this: $language = "German"; $functionName = $language."_send_email";

I am not sure WinForms is as flexible as Delphi - especially when you need to write your own components with their own property sheet dialogs etc. Also, Delphi apps can be made to run on Linux, Mac and even Android and IOS.

I have programmed using Php for at least 25 years. While PHP did start off being quite poorly designed for security, newer versions of Php and also the PHP frameworks like Laravel, Yii etc have become quite sophisticated over the years and

Many frameworks have the "admin" sections with very similar drawbacks. It gets you 80% of the way there in 20% of the time, but the remaining 20% is very difficult to get done. One framework which does not have this problem - or a
