With his dementia, everyday is the âoefirstâ day

Delphi isn't dead. And, many independents use it for windows, macOS, and android development. If say iOS but Apple broke something and now Delphi wont target iOS 17+.

Linux is a viable target as well since FMXlinux was updated following the passing of itâ(TM)s lead developer.

But, yeah, you wont find many companies (at least in the US) jumping onboard. Most are overseas companies. Still, I have been using Delphi for over 30 years since D1 was released. Yes, I can code in other more popular languages. But, Delphi is fun, fast, and powerful.

Where it fails is the basic lack of web tools. There are 3rd party alternatives that close the gap.

Delphi lost its momentum when the nitwits at Borland renamed the company to Inprise and then, after people stopped buying Delphi, went back to Borland. But, the damage was done.

Microsoft pilfered Anders Heidelberg away to create F# and C#â¦what Anders proposed to Borland and was rejected. The lack of web tools, primarily focusing on Windows, and demanding a high price in the OSS world sealed its fate. Since then, it has adapted and grown.

But, most people who are unfamiliar with Delphi would rather repeat what they have been told (MS did a lot of the damage) rather than speaking from experience.

I read, just yesterday, that the US Federal Appeals Court found that the FECâ(TM)s act forcing companies to simplify the unsubscription process invalid.

The act was to intended to permit users to unsubscribe using the same mechanism as used to subscribe. And, it prevented users from having to jump through phone calls and other complex actions. IANAL and it was late when I read it, but it seemed to read that we shall continue to be screwed until new legislation can be passed plugging whatever hole they found. Given how this admin places business over people, we might not see a remedy for some time.

I suspect Google might delay this pending such a development. That's really too bad as it would have made our lives easier.

We are now left to filter out email on our own. And, it doesn't stop people from finding they have been inadvertently signed up for a paid subscription and almost no easy way to get out of it.

As someone who also learned touch typing (electric vs mechanical typewriters) in 7th grade, I have found it a valuable skill.

It allowed me to interact with the computer in an efficient manner -transferring my thoughts and ideas into code. It improved efficiency tremendously. And, it was a skill I have always valued learning.

My brother? He hunts and pecks. Heâ(TM)s also written two full length novels and screenplays (among a litany of other things). For him, heâ(TM)d type, look up from his keyboard, review what he typed, and then it was heads down again.

Me, I like the instant feedback loop of seeing and processing my work without taking my hands off the keyboard except to move a mouse.

Who paid for this?

Best not be a federal grant. If out of regular tuition or their enfoement, fine. Otherwise, wtf pid for such a useless study as chefs (and, samurai)already knew thisâ¦dull blades don't slice cleanly, they cut and crush.

3 years? I thought Musk said 6 weeks to rewrite the system in Java?!?!

Ok...tell me again...what color do you see now?

Probably, they will be forced to offer pro-bono services like every other vendor who took on work for the Trump and wasn't paid.

And morale. This furthers emotional distress already experienced by job seekers with little hope.

Adds a whole new meaning to âoethe goose that laid golden eggsâ, doesn't it?

Perhaps, it was a prophesy?

And, a fighter jet named after him

Clearly, they rewrote the firmware in our President Putin Puppet. Why else would you shut down such efforts against our historical enemy (despite being allied in WW2)?

When autocorrect does work right, its time to reset it. It learns from how you use your phone and type. If you accept a misspelling, it learns, and will continue to make that mistake for you.

Having things like Grammarly installed or using other AI only complicates things.

But, why are images so grainy?

âoeStifling innovationâ. âoeBullying at an industrial scale.â

This is exactly what the EU is doing telling a business how they must play with competitors.

Apple is not a utility.

There are other cell phone, computer, and VR headset makers out there. What specific âoetechnologyâ must Apple share?

Developers can get developer accounts and write apps for the various platforms. They can purchase hardware, like we do if they want to build hardware to extend or interoperate with it.

What Apple might have to do is offer the guidance and technical docs via some sort of developer program. And, I guess Apple would have to provide some sort of testing and certification program. Again, nothing new.

But, if Apple has to give detailed designs on the tech that would enable copying their tech...Iâ(TM)d say, F Off EU.
