Its funnt how people will not want to use Pascal of any flavor because its perceived as old/obsolete and yet the same people have no problem firing up AWK to solve a text processing problem. LAzarus provides a great way to address the

I created a small app to read the Epicor ERP api from freepascal. Fast and simple. Did it as much to refresh my pascal knowledge as to show others that it should not be ignored as a language. As a language is very rich and more cross pla

One of the best comments on this. Its natural for Huawei to do this to make them, and China market in general, less dependent on foreign chips. Its also natural considering the areas in which Huawei does business - they effectively are a e

Just my observation but i rarely see or know of mobile users who browse app stores without first being taken then by a wish/link to download an app. Users who independently dive into app stores are mostly developer-oriented people loo

If I wasn't a grumpy old product manager, I would be tempted to get cynical and say that flat imposed higher cognitive load which keeps you on the page/UI longer which gives more time for other things to get your attention and cre

Freepascal pretty much is the cleaned up version you describe. Fast, free, multiplatform, and just plain sensible. Overdue for a resurgence of use. Maybe the foundation in charge could rename it Cpascal and it would suddenly lift in popula

VMCS Manufacturing solution from NCR. It was an entirely que based solution that ran on VRX (mainframe environment). Blisteringly fast. Why? Intelligent use of queues, single programs that read a que, did something, put results on a que

This is glorious for its clever use of batch. Like another poster says "mad as badgers". If you have spare time can you recreate the .Net ILR from batch scripts? :-J

I have found jq immensely useful to process ugly large responses from REST APIs in enterprise systems. It's like an awk for JSON... And I've been awk fan for 30 years for any text processing.

I was born in '63 and didnt see computers until 1976 (Apple IIe). The only form of telephone was a landline. WHen working in Hongkong in 1987 i saw first mobile - the Motorola brick.

TBH i dont know much in this area but nobody has mentioned CoAP which is basically simple http over udp for the IOT world. Have code a couple of use cases in c# for both server and client. As it is both blinding fast, and has option for rel

I first programmed pascal on Osborne-1 when studying at AUT(then ATI) in AUckland, New Zealand in 1982. Great language that recently have looked to again in its fpc variant for its write-once run-anywhere - seems the folks looking after fre

We so so need this in Hongkong, especially in the older areas where the streets feel as narrow as a rickshaw. Public transport is excellent and ppl here so unhealthy i general they need the walking anyway! Most of the corridoor from Saiyi

I can see this being a great way to get people interested in embedded devices through a low-friction entry into that world. Hoobyists more likely to be skilled with js than with C so getting them into the IoT world has to be as painless as

While everyone is moaning the demise of the SE do note that iOS12 supports the SE and the 5S. My guess is Apple is doing this to hold onto the small form factor customers long enough to make the final decision on small form factor product.

Lets not forget that China has over 3x the popn of USA so to surpass scientific output is to be expected at some stage. They havent got there yet because there is a history, culture and political environment to overcome and that will take

Agree. Good proportion of us suffer from glare, pure white is literally painful to read. I usually reach for a dark mode just to be more pleasant. The whole premise of BWD is sound .... Content first, add bling only to solve a UX problem.
