Another random thread, where we speak about everything and nothing , because sometimes things are hard to cataloger.

No gnatcoll on freebsd.
No databases/adabase on freebsd.


If no high-level Ada bindings are available in the FreeBSD ports, the most reliable method is to create a
thin binding using the Interfaces.C package to talk directly to the sqlite3 C library.
Boehaha ....
And this my friend is for all C & CPP API's...

BTW, the title is too long
:set noirony^MiI love it. It adds a touch of fun derangement. I also love the typo in the last word: "cataloger." It makes it sound more serious, like academic. Overall, I give it an 11/10 as a title. I wouldn't touch it. It's the best title since "I'm a follower of fashion.":wq
 
Cataloger this: I don't think I agree anymore about the FreeBSD community being especially welcoming. I think it's average. There are nice users and not so nice ones, like everywhere. FreeBSD is the best OS on the planet, though.
 
gosh if only anyone could have predicted that people who rely on slopbots to code would in fact be removing their own skill in exchange for convenience
 
It's wild trusting something else's inconsistency and paying for it with monopoly money. I could change my technical style temporarily with some psychoactive substance; meanwhile there's some magic 8 ball knowledge base accessible with coin-slot MAX_THINKING_TOKENS being alterable with stuff named CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_ADAPTIVE_THINKING and CLAUDE_CODE_EFFORT_LEVEL: max. I don't get the appeal of wanting to wrangle that 😅
 
I just like seeing the whole absurdity of the humongous title of this thread appear in "latest posts." Let's do it, take a pic, and include it here.

I don’t have a dog in this event.
I do have Lazarus installed but don’t use it.

It requires a huge rewrite of my Delphi 7 toolbox to be Lazarus compatible, so I don’t use it.

I have no pressing need for 64-bit binaries, so my current platform is entirely satisfactory.
 
I was looking for info about dynamic ticks on Windows and stumbled on some patent: https://patents.google.com/patent/US6506148B2/en
Computer monotors and TV monitors can be made to emit weak low-frequency electromagnetic fields merely by pulsing the intensity of displayed images... Hence, a TV monitor or computer monitor can be used to manipulate the nervous system of nearby people.

I gotta read more details to see how that might be used or what defense there'd be for that (wonder if HDCP is involved with putting the screen in an ideal state), but that's concerning if random TVs with dongles/smart stuff could casually be background manipulating.



Some stuff that stands out:
Certain monitors can cause excitation of sensory resonances even when the pulsing of displayed images is subliminal, i.e., unnoticed by the average person.
Pulse variability can be introduced through software, for the purpose of thwarting habituation of the nervous system to the field stimulation, or when the precise resonance frequency is not known. The variability may be a pseudo-random variation within a narrow interval, or it can take the form of a frequency or amplitude sweep in time. The pulse variability may be under control of the subject.
The program that causes a monitor to display a pulsing image may be run on a remote computer that is connected to the user computer by a link; the latter may partly belong to a network, which may be the Internet.
For a TV monitor, the image pulsing may be inherent in the video stream as it flows from the video source, or else the stream may be modulated such as to overlay the pulsing.
