I would like to follow the tutorial but it mentions a playground. Am I missing something as I cannot find a link or instructions for the playground.

Did you follow a guide to revert black?

Why do you say that?

I absolutely hate this state of affairs. Apps don't allow me to open multiple tabs, as an example.

Interesting tool. I'm trying it out now. I had to jump through some hoops in Google's admin panel that probably had me creating some OAuth org for my personal account... It is now syncing my messages, but very slowly. Some Asyn

It is a pity that Lazarus and FPC seems to be so hard to deploy. It is of course an open source project, so its understandable. Lazarus and FPC is a great project. Building GUI apps like with Lazarus does not have an easy alternative, fro

In South Africa as far as I know we are already building cars for export markets. This being - VW - Mercedes Benz - Ford - BMW (I think there may be a couple more). Point being is that there are already some plants in "Africa".

So simple, yet so effective. Old Systems Admins like me have been following this simple rule for decades. It's the easiest way at scale.

Well not _last_ :). South African ports ranks last, apparently. https://www.dailymaverick.co.za/article/2024-06-10-abysmal-r...

I would like to give Firefox a try. I currently use only Chrome/Edge/Safari. Let me check if it works in IOS.

by rantingdemon 2y ago
This looks very interesting. Thank you for the link. It doesn't support Safari as far as I can see. An extension for Safari (especially on IOS), is quite important. This is perhaps only for me, because my general workflow tends to

I completely disagree. If the built-in bookmark systems in browsers could support tags, then I would say yes. However, it currently only supports a basic tree concept, with "folders" for links. This is very one dimensional. I re

We use NIST as a baseline. Some organisations actually try to do this properly :)

It looks like a great product. I have to be honest though, I didn't read too much in detail - and this was the colour scheme seemed to "scream" at me. There is too much high-contrast colours (deep reds, etc.) Just my humble

Wagile brother. It's a mix between agile and waterfall. Waterfall is great for high level governance (such as specifying high level milestones). Agile is great for executing on the deliverables. It is jus my experience. You're

I also had a F750GS for a year or so. It was my first bike (at age 41). It was a wonderful motorcycle, considering my lack of experience on other motorcycles. Lightweight, not too tall (as I am relatively short at 5'7"). Capabl

Indeed. Pretty much all your communication is recorded at any company you work for anyway.

Yes exactly. No security conscious person I know would just plug in some unknown USB device. It's a very, very well known attack vector. If the point of the exercise is a proof of concept as an expirement then awesome. If it's s

A small correction :). SKA in South Africa is based closer to Carnavron than to Sutherland. https://www.skao.int/en/arrange-visit Not that Sutherland is top be ignored, it does host the South African Astronomical Obse

I also posted this link. Its of course not really that technical but its the most succinct link I could find with a quick Google search. If anyone else has some more details please shout.

It's a very interesting piece. Thanks for sharing. I'm going through a bit of Pascal renewal now, years after school. The spirit of the language seems to come through in this posting by Nicklaus Wirth.

I do love Jacarandas in Pretoria - but I have also read that they are not an endemic tree species and probably _should_ be eradicated. I'm not sure of the exact details, and I have to be honest I would be sad if we had to remove Jacar

As a South African, it is ridiculous to me that I cannot even legally buy or rent some films that were produced in South Africa, and is about South Africa. I cannot recall the details now, but this has happened at least 3 times over the las
