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

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 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 back to JS feels like a step down.

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

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

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.
