i kind of hate that OjectiveC killed ObjectPascal and that we don't have a mainstream modern kernel written in Pascal.

Sounds like headers in general are not necessarily a good idea. They provide flexibility but at a cost. I enjoyed Borland Pascal compilation speeds and clean dependencies before switching to Linux. I miss it, together with Delphi.

If there was only a good Ruby in browser implementation, I'd be more than happy to go Ruby everywhere. New Rails with turbo streams is great, but often times it's desirable to do data processing on the client, and then getting bac

I was under the impression that a lot of the original team was hired by MS and that was the end of Borland that created Delphi.

Still Delphi was better. - DSL for UI (Forms) - fast native compiler that produced self sufficient binaries - great component library and many open source libraries - Object Pascal was extended to fit perfectly the needs of UI programming

I have pms3003 you can get for about 12 USD on AliExpress. I bought a small usb-to-serial adapter connected to Raspberry Pi Zero W. Here's a combo with a similar device here: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/3261778

It's good that the banks can be bailed out. It's good there's some inflation. It saves capitalism from itself (the rich acummulating all or practically all the coins).

Chrome does this for a long time now and I don't consider it an issue. You see a frozen version of the last decoded keyframe until the next one is decoded. Elegant solution IMO.

It might not be perfect, but allowing only web workers (if you agree on getting push notifications from a page) might be the solution.

If you don't run untrusted code you should be fine on bare metal servers too.

> As someone who is working with X11, I strongly disagree. It really needs replacing badly. It doesn't even work; only a few code paths even get tested on for example GLX, which is why complex X11 apps like browsers need blacklists.

You must be doing something wrong. There's a lot of overhead for frameworks like Symfony, yes. But it's possible to write reasonably productive and modern website code where you can get sub 20ms responses (doing auth, fetching fro

A mid sized web site with 5000RPM would be 219 million of requests per month: so 766 USD/month just for API GW, without data transfer, lambda, static/cdn or DB costs.

Most of these articles I read about AWS Lambda (they rarely mention API Gatweway because it's expensive) sound like paid marketing. I've seen just API Gateway costing more than entire infrastructure costs of similarly sized websit

Do you have a public example that illustrates how PHP/Hack code in Facebook looks like? My problem with PHP is that most of modern frameworks seem to take a lot from Java, and people have started to use type hinting whenever they can,

Unless you are using ReactPHP it's not really for real time apps.

It's weird for me. I used to write both Java and PHP in the past. Custom PHP framework we built took into account the way PHP is executed: you are stateless and need to setup everything on every request (runtime is fast to start with F

Kodi struggles with H265/FHD on Rpi2, but I'm hopeful this one will make it. Any other suggestions on hackable and cheap H265 capable machines?

It's strange that no 28W Broadwell-U machines have been reviewed yet. Since they have almost 2x of the power budget than the 15W ones, I expect them to be a whole different beasts for loads where you need both GPU and CPU to be active.

Probably AMD, they fund open source driver development and release good documentation for their GPUs. Intel is ok too, but their hardware is not really targeted for gamers. That being said, if you are fine with using proprietary drivers, cu

I'm not conviced this will help that much for Intel GPUs. Developers from Intel have been optimizing shader compilers specifically for Dota 2 for some time without much impact on performance. Dota 2 is probably memory bandwidth limited

Hopefully they'll use it to make Dota 2 for Linux comparable to Dota 2 for Windows :) Right now it doesn't perform well at all (using 2x more memory and being significantly slower on Intel GPUs) , and still comes with an annoying
