That also depends on the budget. I work in the public sector, so there's usually no money, but now they've just discovered that they have a 25 million budget, which needs to be spend this year on hardware (for AI). If we do not spend the money within this year, the budget expires and then we cannot spend it at all

25 million is not billions, but that could still be a higher budget than any other public institution agency in the entire state here has

search for compiler bugs

a) Are they really sent by Google Groups?

b) Why does Google allow any person to create an google groups mailing list and add my email address to it without my consent?

c) Are there really still people who have configured their autoresponders to automatically respond to autoresponders through email lists in 2025?

This week I wanted to download some old HN front pages on the command lines and only got "403 sorry"

although I do not get that now

There was actually just a large discussion thread in the Lazarus forum wondering about why it is not more popular, with almost 300 comments. But now the thread got locked. That might be a reason.

I used Delphi on Windows 98. But that became outdated, so I ported it to FreePascal. FreePascal has a lot of integrated libraries, but I do not really use anything I did not already use with Delphi.

and it still uses Pascal because I didn't plan to change it but just wanted to show people what I programmed 20 years ago

such libraries often mess the scrolling and searching up

I do not know how to fix it without reinstalling

I was trying to change a single file in squashfs container recently and could not find a way to do that.

what was wrong with the Print key?

I drink a lot of tapwater (though usually as tea)

I used to drink bottled water, because it is sparkly. I like sparkling water much more than ordinary water.

But I got tired of carrying so many bottles

I bought a CO2 device that should make tapwater sparkling. But lacked fuzz and my mother donated it away. She donates all my stuff

>This means everyone buys water in plastic containers at the grocery store, all this plastic is PET-based, and PEG is always present in small quantities in that water (because water is slightly acidic, and acids disassociate the PET molecule).

My mother only buys glass bottles because of that.

   let $numberOfWords := count($words[.])

   let $numberOfWords := $words[.] => count()

I just added my own tagging to my pointers. I have 48-bit pointers and 16-bit of tagging data.

I replaced all my struct { word type; char* data }; with something like (type << 48) | data. This saves a memory allocation and pointer indirection. It is much faster

I thought something would happen if you solve it
