It's unlikely to be 100% bug compatible with TP 7. There are various obscure bits in most languages that have been around for a while, where the implementation choices are a bit arbitrary and interaction between different features can turn up unexpected behaviour.

Turbo Pascal was a much smaller language than what Delphi became, so I can't point you out examples off the top of my head. If I were looking into compatibility issues, I'd play around with things like alignment and packing rules, TP's various hacks to get around Standard Pascal's fixed length strings (e.g. OpenString {$P+}), etc.
You're confusing US and UK Law. US case law tends to favour the view that scanned documents become public domain, there is no such case law in the UK.

In particular the BL position is that due to the proprietary scanning technology they use they inherit copyright on the new works. You could potentially challenge that position in court, but at the moment there's no evidence for how a court will treat it.

Determinism is dead. Long live an in-deterministic (and free) universe!

But seriously, why many scientists are so attached to wanting a deterministic universe is beyond me. Even at the highest levels, I'm amazed that physicists have an near moral repugnance to the idea that there's randomness inherent in the universe. They even go through such lengths as inventing the many worlds theories to try and recapture determinism.

And in any case, it relates to the fragility of information stored on the Internet. (The funny thing is that the disintegration of books was not too realistic; but the possibility that we store all information on computers, and then we lose it, is very real.)

In any case, for me the "Memoirs Found in a Bathtub" (or at least its original "Pamiętnik znaleziony w wannie" - I am the lucky one, who can read Lem in Polish) is the best book by Lem (but not the most typical, and certainly not the easiest).
The rules that paved the road kill
Go listen to what a real scientist like Neil Degrasse Tyson has to say on the subject. To be atheist is to give into a belief without proof, only absent of proof of the opposite. The scientific mind is one that questions and looks for evidence of answers to those questions, not to "militantly" defend an assumption.
So I guess US usage would be "Look at all my Legos". How does that work in singular? "Give me that red Lego"?

In the UK I've only heard Lego referred to like:
"Give me that red brick",
"Give me that red Lego brick",
"Look at all my Lego",
"Look at all my Lego bricks"

From the linked article:

"The court ruling said: "The fact that the workers begin and finish the journeys at their homes stems directly from the decision of their employer to abolish the regional offices and not from the desire of the workers themselves."

So, the closure of the office seems to be highly relevant.

By debating the conclusions, the media has tricked you into accepting the form of the argument. This is hardly new, the media does it all the time by mistake/purpose.

The framing - a "Master Wizard Hypothesis" - is an entertaining impossibility he can probably wring a dozen more posts out of it at least, but really the media just sucks. Unless our standards are so low that the fact Trump has bumbled his way into exploiting that deficiency of the media is impressive.
Yeah, and at certain data centers it is as simple as ordering a cross connect. There are many AWS services and each have many use cases where the customer is getting an excellent value. Unfortunately, just like deciphering all of the names is very difficult as OP demonstrated so well, understanding the use cases where you can get a good value as a customer is also esoteric and poorly documented. While AWS has pretty good docs in general for each service. Most of the naive implementations presented in tutorials and docs would not be a valuable reason for a customer to use the service. I wonder if documenting this type of stuff better would help them grow the business or if they just don't care and they want to just rip off as many faces as possible. I guess in traditional enterprise software, this is always the role of the consultants / partners rather than the role of the vendor. The vendor sales guy always just wants you to take the license that puts the most money in his pocket and it is up to those partners and consultants to explain to you how to optimize your usage and licensing.

Can Big Data Remove Bias in Hiring and Business Practices?
Real scientists recognize Atheism as being illogical as both it and Theism are based on faith.

The Agnostic position is the only logical position one can take, as it is not faith-based and it makes an assertion that is true: we don't really know if a God(s) exist or do not exist. There's no proof that one does, and there will never be proof that none do.

> The article says that through god you can justify anything. It appears in the absence of God you can do the same things.

Would you like to substantiate this claim? How is it possible for an atheist with a philosophy rooted in the scientific method justify "anything" without contradicting core principles of said scientific method?

EDIT: For some reason I am unable to reply anywhere in this thread, so I am updating this. Current replies are missing an important point: adherence to scientific method and atheism requires adopting a set of constraints logically derived from axioms of the scientific method. This constraints are concrete, empirical, testable. They greatly decrease the cardinality of a set with non-contradictory justifiable ideas.

On a side note, it is amusing to see HN blossom with postmodern philosophy when religion is involved.
This is great... well done. Any chance you could side-by-side it with Azure & Google Cloud's offerings? That would be MASSIVELY useful!
> I have to admit that I'm still not quite sure about arrays in relational databases. Don't get me wrong, I use them all the time, but it kinda feels like when you've got tables that you just know could be normalized more thoroughly.

Why is that? There are many use cases for data (like vector data) which really needs an array. And it would be unwise to store it as columns. Think of, for example, matrix data or a practically unbounded number of double values coming from a sensor. Plus, PostgreSQL has a limit in the number of columns (1600) of a table, of which you could run out soon if representing this kind of data as regular columns rather than array values.

Great idea, but an advance warning based on the earliest videos: it's windows-based programming. Just in case that puts you off (which it did me, I'm afraid).
When you're building a new app based around a handful of these services, how do you have any idea what it will cost to host your business on a startup? In the past I've avoided using these, and just used VPS servers doing my own thing, because it's really hard for me to, for example, guess how many database queries I'll do or messages I'll send between app components. I feel much safer saying that I can limit myself to N servers with so much memory. How do you make that jump to thinking the other way?

Hi Michael! Great guide. SNS is not just for mobile app developers and should probably belong in the "Web Developer Services" section.

It is a general messaging service and can deliver messages to SQS, AWS Lambda, email and arbitrary HTTP(S) endpoints.

For example, we have some S3 buckets set up to send an SNS message to an SNS topic on new object creation, the topic then in turn notifies our subscribed HTTPS endpoints by sending the SNS message which we can then parse. You can also connect S3 directly to AWS Lambda so that a new event in the bucket sends an SNS message to a lambda function - which is very handy for doing things such as "server-less" thumbnailing, transcoding, etc etc.
Yes, with the absence of god Stalin for example justified a whole lot of things. So did Mao.

One shouldn't underestimate the effect of an authority (possibly imagined - I don't want to argue about this here) that might judge you no matter if no one will be able to judge you here in life.

There are many people that would refrain from certain acts just because of this belief.

Reminds me of the time when Sun Microsystems fell apart into several different companies: SunSoft, Sun Labs, etc.

Scott McNealy called an all-hands meeting, and made grand sweeping gestures with his arms while imploring everyone: "Stop hugging your trees! Everyone has to let go of their tree! No more tree hugging!"

As if we understood what the hell he was talking about because we'd all read the same management self-help books about preventing tree hugging in large corporations that he had, and that by making tree hugging and releasing gestures, everybody would be able to empathize with him and figure out what the the fuck he meant.

After the meeting, I confronted my manager: "You never game me a tree! Why didn't I ever get a tree? I want my tree! I promise not to hug it, but I want one too!"
I am tired of "atheist" scientists, how can you justify scientifically the absence of god?

When you enter the non-falsable territory you can believe what you want, and in parallel do all the science you want.

I agree with the author that you cant break the law because of religious ideas, but also in geneal you dont want to force someone to do something that hoes against his beleifs.
To me, FreePascal, with its upcoming 3.0 release, is much more interesting.

Interestingly, in 3.0, it will support compiling JVM byte code. [1]

30 years ago, the AP Computer Science test was given in Pascal. I thought it was perfect for its time. I think it moved to C few years after I took it, then eventually Java.
My dad, who knew nothing about computers, saw an article in the Wall Street Journal about this guy with a new business model for selling software. On a whim, he got me a copy for my birthday. It was TP version 1.

I stuck with TP through version 5, and even convinced my college teachers to let me use it for my programming assignments rather than whatever was on the college mainframe.

The manuals were indeed a huge asset. You didn't really need to know anything about the OS, or go digging for third party documentation online, which was important because there was no online.

I think he means there was no freshman C course.
I am pragmatic

I don't care in what scientists believe as long as they do their job (that are accepted in the society) and their beliefs don't interfere with it.

Also remember there are racists, conspiracy nuts, religious zealots within the scientific community as well (and let me say especially since "being a researcher" is more about pushing conservative papers and doing bureaucracy than actually experimenting stuff)
I should preface this by saying that I'm an atheist scientist myself, but...

The author has no idea what he's talking about. He's clearly ignorant of basic epistemology as it relates to both religion and his own field. Worse, he embodies the kind of hubris for which the militant atheist community has gained notoriety.

There are sacred ideas in science. Granted, they aren't referred to as sacred per se, but they are the same thing at their core: non-negotiable tenets that are accepted a priori. In science, we typically call such things "assumptions" or "postulates".

To list but one example, take the idea that truth is ascertainable through the senses (empiricism). This is a metaphysical question which the natural sciences, by their own admission, cannot scrutinize.

Edit: why on earth was the article flagged? Just when the debate was getting interesting!
Agreed. And the OP going out of his way to push for it is sad. There are more important problems to spend your time on than trying to make it easier to insult each other. If you want to insult someone, you can still do it in English. Your freedom of speech is not restricted.
"The closing of the office is an unimportant detail of this particular case."

Says who? All precedent is to be interpreted narrowly in scope wrt to the facts, and that's not even taking into account that judge-made law as a concept is, in general, foreign to most EU jurisdictions (with the UK being the most notable exception). While there is not much dispute over the primacy of the ECJ over national law (although de jure this is not even a given!), there is no reason to assume that broad, general doctrines laid out by the ECJ all of a sudden constitute new law in the members of the Treaty (I mean, I'm not even talking about the ECJ-equivalent of a 'van Gend en Loos' ruling, I'm just talking about de factor interpretation by member state judiciaries and administrations).

Furthermore I'm a bit perplexed at how easily you seem to dismiss the closing of the office, which is absolutely material to this case. It's quite different when a unilateral decision of a party affects the counter party, or if both parties knew what they got into from the start! Also, or maybe 'especially', in employment cases. Please tell what you base your assertion on, because it's in direct contradiction with all literature and practice.

(and yes, I do have a law degree, although it's been a few years since I last studied any EU law, so I'm not claiming to be an expert here).
The premise of science held by scientists is to do everything from the power of understanding to refute the existence of higher or supernatural force or being that cannot be quantified in that very power of understanding.

So in short, scientists are the military wing of atheism, for they fight the battles that might terrorize atheists into thinking that a higher supernatural order exists.
I'm curious as to how effective this could be used in an available-offline kind of application. If you could store the DB in local storage then use behind the scenes syncs to keep your local DB up to date as your internet connection goes up and down.

Although in most cases having a JSON store would probably be easier for that role, but could see this being useful if your app needs to allow for raw sql queries offline.
In the US usage, "legos" refers to many blocks. "Lego" is generally used as an adjective, referring to things constructed from many legos. "Lego house" or "Lego car", for example. It has been a while since I played with them, but to refer to a single brick, I would usually mention the size. "The red 2x4", for example, to refer to a red lego brick that has 8 pips.
This is just brought up around the author sitting in airports and having to deal with CNN's news cycle... Of course there's strong reactions from both sides but the court case is playing out in your position's favor.

Apart from the clickbait title, the article is mostly common sense. No ideas should be held as beyond questioning/testing/proving etc. Labeling this approach as atheism just confuses the matter.
Well, historically Apple has pursued the high-end market.

Typically brands that go from high-end to low-end lose their high-end customers along the way, who don't want to be associated with low-end products.

Saying they are going for the walmart crowd represents a cheapening of the product, cost cutting, mass production approach that leaves behind what many people like to believe about apple (that it is much more artistic, concerned more about making the best product than selling a product to the most people)

There is nothing wrong with being in either market, but shifting between the two markets can be bad for business in that it's likely to lose previously loyal customers.

Just a little reminder from Xerox / prepared by Needham, Harper & Steers Advertising, Inc. -- Not even Xerox can Xerox / prepared by Needham Harper Worldwide, Inc. (March 1985) -- Once a trademark, not always a trademark / [Xerox Corporation].

Though it was a long time ago, I recall that my law school Business Torts casebook contained a copy of Xerox’s old ad, “Not Even Xerox Can Xerox”, which Xerox used to promote proper use of its trademark and fight genericide. Back in the day, Xerox was by far the most well-know copier brand, leased by offices all over. In this day and age, now that most people have a copier at home (as part of a multifunction printer) and it could be a Canon, HP, Brother, Epson or other brand, I think the younger folk are not so likely to refer to copying as “Xeroxing”. It poses an interesting quandary: Xerox may be winning the genericide war but they are no longer dominating the competition. Which is preferable?

Proper Use of the LEGO Trademark on a Web Site

If the LEGO trademark is used at all, it should always be used as an adjective, not as a noun. For example, say "MODELS BUILT OF LEGO BRICKS". Never say "MODELS BUILT OF LEGOs". Also, the trademark should appear in the same typeface as the surrounding text and should not be isolated or set apart from the surrounding text. In other words, the trademarks should not be emphasized or highlighted. Finally, the LEGO trademark should always appear with a ® symbol each time it is used.

It's redundant for extraction. For creation (-c) where you can list many files, it's just a choice some unix developer made to allow the destination file to be specified independent of order. I think there'd be some awkward edge cases otherwise.

Anyway, adding verbosity to discourage operating on static files and prefering being on a pipeline could be considered a feature.
Scientists should advocate science.

God & friends are beside the point, though. Religion in public life is more often a sock puppet, obediently speaking the lines of basically non religious ideas like Catholic natural law philosophy and evangelical panic in the face of modernity.

In this regard, atheism and theism are just playing the roles of competing sock puppets and you won't alter the debate by banishing God from it. It will likely just jump to another equally obliging puppet (such as arguing on the basis of what's "natural").

He could take a nihilist, hedonistic position. It doesn't matter if he hurts someone through his acts if there is no one to judge him.

Of course atheists are not devoid of morals and certainly not all religious people are acting in a moral way.
Science and religion conflict because they're both seen as a source of truth.

However, if we were mature about it we'd see that neither science or religion is a source of truth, not of absolute truth anyway. The important part of science is the method of inquiry, the important part of religion is the method of building character.

If both scientists and religious leaders could accept the 'all I know is that I know nothing' idea, I suspect there'd be much fewer issues between them.
Because the scientific method has nothing to do with morality. The author gives the example in his own article when he says that he doesn't understand why people would have a problem experimenting on aborted or miscarried foetuses.

Well the scientist might see it as a bag of matter that would otherwise be thrown out with the trash, but unborn child's mother might have a different perspective on the issue. It concerns me that the author apparently doesn't get this.
I'm finding my mind blown with this novel way of using a single point in space to represent both X & Y axes based on context.
