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

it can show a basic unbloated news site from my contry it can show lwn.net it can show HN it can show old popular local forum it can show rss feeds it automatically blocks (does no…

there's perefectly working stuff from php from over 20 years ago that only had to keep up with security patches

[flagged]

apparently a lot of hardware is still not properly supported, like speakers, microphones and energy saving

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 sw…

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 d…

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…

Hetzner is super affordable alternative to AWS, now with a DC in US, east coast.

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…

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…

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 ca…

Smartwarches have body temperature sensors now? Which ones are okay to buy?

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 ent…

It's easy to support Mozilla if you are not a mega-corp https://donate.mozilla.org/

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 peop…

I've improved this comment a bit over here: http://vrodic.blogspot.hr/2017/07/my-thoughts-on-php.html

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