Yes. In your class config you can tell proji to create a file in the new project based on a given template. Templates are stored in '~/.config/proji/templates' and can be of any type(txt, py, go,..). In addition, proji can execute shell scripts, which practically offers unlimited possibilities.

For more information about files, scripts and templates you may read this part of the docs: https://github.com/nikoksr/proji#setting-up-a-class-

The problem I have with most of the "project manager" bullshit is not related to hierarchy or structure.
In my opinion, the role of a boss/leader is useful and most of the time necessary.

But we're not talking about that, we're talking about middle-management, and this is a completely different story.

Very often, managers don't have the legitimacy of a boss or leader, they're not charismatic or visionary, and they often are unable to do or even fully understand the job of those they are managing.

Their role is mostly bureaucratic and to reduce slack.

The concept of IP is a relatively recent invention, created by legislatures to prop up specific industries hurt by copying of data, and, as is being demonstrated, not everyone agrees that it should be treated the same as existing systems of physical property.

For me, Catalina worked fine since I’ve installed Beta 2 last summer.

Even the usual suspects, VMWare, Vagrant/VirtualBox and Homebrew survived the update just fine.

I see no crashes (at least not more than the usual once-every-two-months need to reboot), nor other weirdness. Compared to Mojave, even the random Bluetooth disconnects I had with my Magic Trackpad stopped happening.

Of course this is total non-news and I’m not going to publish a blogpost saying that Catalina is fine for me nor would that reach, much less survive on, the front page of any news aggregator if I actually were to write such a blog post.

Unfortunately, we only read about people having issues and we conclude that everybody must have problems.

This reminds me of a book I got as a gift, "Mind Map Mastery". I think the top review on Amazon for that book pretty much summarizes my feelings too :)). Tl;dr mind mapping is a nice technique to organize information but it's just that: a technique, one out of many.
And although I agree that a book can be justified to explain and give examples of just one technique, you somehow get a feeling that these things are more about the author boasting about something they "created". I have no idea if there is a similar legal situation concerning "mind mapping", but I guess claiming that the pomodoro technique is something so special falls in the same category.
I wonder if the author would just change the words to "the tomato technique", would he be pursued legally for that too?

Boeing cut corners with the 737 MAX. As a result bad things happened. If boeing had an appropriate aversion to risk they would be in a better place. Instead they took reckless risks and now they are screwed.
The advantages? The compile works on must every CPU and platform, including Windows, Mac, Linux, Raspberry Pi, Gameboy Advanced, Amiga, and on and on.

Also it's open source, so when you are writing code you can actually navigate to the underlying sources and step into everything with the debugger if you want.

Finally, it comes with library support for so much more than Delphi, including Google APIs, FreeType, Cairo, Fuse, and so on.

Oh and it can also build to Java byte code and run in a Java JVM, also to Android.

Did I mention it's free and open source under active development?

My 2 cents: top menu goes away when you reduce window width; on mobile no menu at all (but content goes one column correctly, so halfway responsive).
If you move or click on something, it highlights the cell (not everywhere) but there is no operation/command bound with that (no copy to clipboard or any kind of interaction).
Usually, something highlightening represents an action that user can do.

I'm one of the product managers who works on Delphi today (together with Marco Cantù. I actually work on C++Builder, Delphi's sister product.) I am really happy to hear that.

Your question about Sencha: we recommend using Sencha for web front-ends, and we have a server product written with Delphi for creating REST services or converting your desktop apps to REST-based backends, called RAD Server.

Anyone can claim anything that helps their cause. All you have to do is not implement the emulator using the official developer documentation for the system.

For example on the original Gameboy the thing you have to avoid is using the copyrighted BIOS ROM. But you can avoid that by just initializing the CPU registers and instead starting at the cartridge start address.

It is possible to run everything on CPU, even if we fastai 1.0. Only training can be 100 times slower than on GPU. Even for a toy exercises involving image processing and actual deep networks (30-150 layers) it means hours or days of training.

It is not FastAI fault though.

This is just a continuation of the infantilisation of development teams. I don't know whether it's because the industry is young so there are a lot of younger people working in it, or that they're the loudest as they're using social media and blogs more, but it seems pretty common at the different places I've contracted at. All these silly games they play in the scrum 'ceremonies', the need for pizza and beer and games in professional settings. I don't see it in any other business setting.

Its unsurprising businesses feel like they need a mediator between the childish way a lot of development teams want to behave and people working as actual professionals within businesses. It would make sense that in smaller pure tech companies where the 'culture' is that everyone behaves like that it may be less necessary, but it certainly is in a more classical business setting.
It appears as though this has only just been rolled out.

I've used wildcards a lot for securing internal servers. Have a public-facing "internal.my.domain", get a wildcard for that, and and handle the "internal.my.domain" internally, so we have valid SSL certificates for internal services, which otherwise is a pain in the ass.

Also, when running something like a kubernetes or openshift cluster, having dynamic ingress/routes is very easy, and offering the ability to your devs to have SSL not only by default but mandatory, with close to zero configuration, is great.

2020 Delphi supports five platforms, has 64-bit compilers everywhere, has modern language features, interoperates with C++ through C++Builder, and more. In the past few years especially, we've* seen both a lot of work on it, and increasing interest in using it.

It's modern, and used more widely than one might realise.

Which would only be an issue for the next 20 years at most. I suspect we won't run out of native x86 processors in that time frame.

Regardless, complete emulators exist today, and Intel hasn't sued anyone over them so far. Intel did threaten to sue Microsoft over Windows-on-ARM's x86 emulator do so a few years ago [1], but that doesn't seem to have gone anywhere, and even if it did, it's unlikely anything would happen to open-source emulators.

> But how do you unambiguously specify "what is needed"?

You don't. You follow the scientific method of building a model specification for "what is needed", throwing it into the world, and tweaking and improving it where you find that some of its properties are not a good fit for the problem it's intended to solve - primarily by gathering feedback from the people that are using it and finding its flaws.

Or to put it in another way: if this is just timeboxing, why did Fei call it Pomodoro.cc? And why did the site used to say "Pomodoro.cc is a tool that leverages the concepts of the Pomodoro Technique", rather than just "implements timeboxing"?

Seems to me that Fei got a useful technique for free from Cirillo, and his thanks is to not even have the respect to name his site something else.

iTunes backups support encryption without your computer needing FDE.

There is also the idevicebackup2 commandline tool from the libimobiledevice suite for doing those backups on linux, mac, or windows hosts. Supports the iOS protocols, including the native backup encryption.

https://www.libimobiledevice.org/

Having a secure iOS device is possible: disable iCloud backups, probably disable messages and photos too, and use a custom numeric pin >10 digits (a lot more if you are using it as T9 input). The secure enclave's kdf is only configured for 100ms of stretching IIRC, but it's sufficient with a long pin code.
From a developer viewpoint i can name three things that have stopped Delphi from competing with languages such as C# and JAVA.

1. No Garbage Collector. While some understanding of object lifetime is required, the constant need to manage allocation and de-allocation of objects takes a lot of energy away from the writing code.

2. Naming variables in a separate Var block. This is really cumbersome and detracts from the development experience. This was somewhat fixed in Delphi 10.3 which was released in 2018 or rather 23 years after the first Delphi version.

3. The unrealistic pricing of Delphi. The high cost of licensing has throughout the times meant that other programming languages have been chosen on this fact alone.

If (1) and (3) could be fixed then Delphi might stand a chance to gain significant market share.

Mixcloud is pretty unreliable in my experience. It does one thing better than soundcloud: a stream can consists of multiple tracks, which is excellent for mix-sets.

But the only reason I use it more than soundcloud is because their app supports CarPlay. Soundcloud doesn't do that, which makes listening to it in my car much more difficult, even if the mixcloud app is pretty crap on-the-go.

Yes, absolutely. Without either hospitals or contraception, it's quite common for women to have lost multiple children in their life. Without other sources of income, you are a crop failure or drought away from hunger.

It's easy to romanticise pre-modern life from the comfortable position of a developed country. It's much harder for the people who live it.

I'm pretty sure I would hear about kids breaking shop owners windows for being of a certain cultural origin. Even without checking the news.

Like I said, some news manages to filter through to me. And it's often completely pointless.

For example Youtube sometimes recommends news from my country to me, even if I never watch it. in 2019 I can remember them recommending news about some missing girl up north. But I had to hear from my friends about a handicapped guy who was shot 25 times by the police for playing with a toy gun. They didn't recommend that one.

I do vote btw. Since I don't consider myself capable of keeping up with politics I vote with my instincts, as most others. I either vote for the social democrats/left or the green party.

I don't fuss over details or little missteps they might have done. I believe the green party has the right direction and their voice needs to be stronger in parliament. Equally I believe the left still cares about workers rights and unions.
