Teddy Roosevelt was the Chuck Norris of his day. It is appropriate.

I think that comparison is quite unfair to Teddy, and overly flattering to Chuck Norris.

Historian, sheriff, war hero, governor, explorer, and a successful President who reshaped America largely for the better. While Roosevelt was human, he led a life that very few have ever matched.

That said, the line does fit them both.

Literally saved Football.

All due respect, no comparison, teddy is a real legend not just cinema. Lets not conflate the two. Much love to chuck though.

Emacs with org-mode and evil-mode seems to be up your alley.

and Emacs SES, built-in spreadsheets outside of Org-mode: https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_mono/ses.html...

I don't expect them to take too long in getting a bug-fixed 3.52.1 out, but I'm neither on the SQLite team nor can I make such promises ;)

Release 3.52.0 has been temporarily withdrawn until a few critical bug fixes land for 3.52.1: https://sqlite.org/releaselog/3_52_0.html

> It's more powerful than your PC back in the late 1990s.

Sounds like a fun thought, but almost certainly untrue: https://www.swissmicros.com/product/dm42

All new PCs sold in the late 1990s handedly beat these specifications. On CPU, storage, RAM, and display. The DM42 firmly remains an embedded system that's just enough for the calculator software and not much more.

If you want to take it back to the early 1980s, you start reaching the claim being true.

Lazarus is mature: https://www.lazarus-ide.org/

Sadly, I feel like it’s too mature. If you’re used to contemporary development environments, Lazarus feels like a clunky throwback. I say that with lots of love and respect for the Lazarus team and community. Delphi’s even worse. Working in VSCode is... fine. For such a beautiful language, the ecosystem has really fallen behind the times.

What improvements and modernizations do you have in mind?

Lsp. Seamless support for external editor/changed files so I can use vim without losing changes. Component for markdown rendering. Theme support so apps can switch between light and dark themes at runtime.

Honestly theres a lot I miss when I write Lazarus apps.

Try Oxygene. Files are always up to date (you don't even save, if you type, it'll end up on disk, same in reverse if you save with another editor.) Code completion works. IDE supports themes. Most importantly the language is _far_ more modern than Lazarus / FPC.

It can import Lazarus (and Delphi) projects, but does not have a form designer built in.

I think this response is more than a little unhelpful

I wanted

>> Theme support so apps can switch between light and dark themes at runtime.

You present

> IDE supports themes.

You don't see the difference?

I want to produce apps that decides, at runtime, which theme to use.

I also don't know if I'd consider it a Lazarus option if

a) It's a different language, not Delphi

and

b) It has no RAD tools.

After all, if I want niche languages with poor support for RAD, I'm spoilt for choice. What I want is for Lazarus to be updated with some modern features, not replace a well-known RAD tool with a niche, expensive, proprietary and little-known language.

You're right, I missed that you wanted styles in your app not IDE. I was thinking IDE especially re the designer, so sorry for missing that.

It's not intended to be unhelpful, and I hope the rest of what I wrote, which you didn't quote, and which I _think_ from what you wrote is of interest to you, is ok.

and it costs 749 bucks....

You're right re commercial. If it's personal use, twenty bucks a month.

I wish FreePascal would allow declaring variables anywhere and loop local variables. I just can't program like C89 anymore and without these two basic quality-of-life features, Pascal simply feels stuck in history.

althttpd is even easier. :)

Wouldn't recommend, only packaged on Alpine and nix.

It's a single-binary program that's easy to compile. You don't need to depend on packaging...

Are all these food items real? Some of them sound made up...

and are these California prices? It's totally bonkers.

Music videos on the Windows 95 CD didn't occupy space on your hard disk, either. As long as the operating system still fit on the CD-ROM, it didn't matter what other extras were on it.
