I think Lazarus is a nice way to make native GUIs on each platform. It's underrated.

I've been building CheckSitePulse, a website auditing tool that crawls sites and reports issues like broken links, spelling mistakes, accessibility problems, SEO issues, missing security headers, and content policy violations. https:&

The author also has a youtube channel ( https://www.youtube.com/@PeterSantenello ) with some really well done videos. He's curious, respectful, and gives a fair reporting of the different local cultures.

One aspect that is most definitely easier with Chromebooks is that it only takes a powerwash (1-2 minutes) to make the device ready for someone else. With Windows devices it takes our school district hours to get a device re-imaged and full

I still very actively use a Mac Pro 2013 (aka trashcan). It has 64 GB RAM, an 8 core Xeon cpu, and 1TB NVMe. I'm running macOS Monterey (12.7.6) on it. The hardware is still plenty powerful enough to be very useful. Supported software

I agree with you. I'd go one step further and let it be the only mode available starting with new versions of the library.

I understand your point, especially for company websites whose products/services aren't oriented to the blind. However, there are many companies with products/services that are just as much for the blind as the sighted (gover

I'd like to connect with you offline for further conversation. I didn't see any contact information in your profile (and there's none currently in mine either).

There are a couple of different ways of using Ceph with a filesystem: (1) CephFS, or (2) RBD (Ceph block device) volume mounted and then create filesystem on the mounted RBD volume. Historically, the RBD approach would likely have been the

Still working on my web site quality assurance software. Getting close to private beta (hopefully very soon). Back end is written in Java and built with Javalin and Jsoup and persisted to PostgreSQL. Front end is JS/React. My back end

I have and use a Mac Pro 2013 too. Mine is 8 cores with 64 GB RAM. I haven't used mine for any LLM workloads, but it does just fine for most stuff. My biggest concern with it is the OS. I'm still running macOS (the latest supporte

Have you discussed this with your doctor? If not, I would schedule an appointment ASAP. It's possible that medication might be able to help significantly. If it does help, it could be that it helps you enough to turn things into a more

It was the best of times (WP5.1) and the worst of times (first versions for Windows). I used WordPerfect for DOS 5.1 extensively and it was a joy to use. It was not WYSIWYG, but it was fast, stable, and very capable. A couple of years later

2 things: (1) trying to find a job, and (2) continuing work on my software. I've been working on a new software product (native Windows) that is for analysis of SQLite databases. It's geared towards non-technical and slightly tech

Very nice on both! I've long had an affinity for non-mainstream programming languages (mostly those with Wirth lineage). I wish there were more projects that used them.

Nice list. I also delight in having purple martins nearby. They're such a joy to watch.

Consider writing your own software. Maybe something that scratches an itch, related to one of your hobbies, or a need you've observed in the market.

I voluntarily left the corporate world in spring of 2024. I already had a part-time handyman business going so I just took it full-time. I also started developing my own software product (soon to be released).

In the US the laws vary considerably by state on what electrical (and plumbing) one is allowed to do without a license.

I'm still working on development of a native Windows application for data analysis of SQLite databases. It's geared towards non-technical (or only slightly technical) users and allows queries to be easily made without knowing SQL.

My cynical take is that it's a let's buy off these folks before they sue us.

There's a big difference between physical injuries and mental/emotional injuries. I can't imagine that all (or even most) of the passengers can shrug the whole thing off with "oh, well. i wasn't hurt".

"SQL had (and maybe still has) its own C compiler" Oh? Are you referring to something different from a database's precompiler?

I'm genuinely surprised that California hasn't figured out fire risk management decades ago. The Santa Ana winds are nothing new and have been in the southern part of the state forever. I remember seeing news reports about catastr

To be fair, you have to pay the Apple tax to use Apple Numbers. It's not monthly (or even a subscription), but it's not a one-time payment if you want the ability to use it over a long period of time.
