Turbo Pascal was my first real programming language, and Delphi was pretty pleasant to use for GUI programs as I recall.

I'd never even heard of Lazarus, I might have to try it for a nostalgia trip.

I disagree, they have it working on the nRF52840 (which is new and supports new things like NFC and Thread/Zigbee). This means people can start developing features against that chipset.

Hardware doesn't mean "production-ready model".

The uncropped version makes it a bit clearer:

It's also clearer that it's from an AI.

Others have answered, but the UK has been rabies free for over a century!

The British Isles (GB and Ireland) have been rabies free since the disease was eradicated in terrestrial animals in 1922.

The term you want is "cross compile". I've developed simple programs for the Pi on Windows and it's simple enough to produce a static binary (using Rust, anyway). When extra dependencies come in it's better to develop on the same OS, but targeting different architectures is the easy bit.

After duffing the ball all over the golf course, I sat on my duff, ate some duff, drank too many Duff beers, then some duffer threatened to duff me up because he thought I'd got his sister up the duff. After this duff day, I went into the woods and lay in the duff.

The airline's booking process is fairly standard except for the seat map which highlights seats occupied by women with the color pink. This information is not visible to male passengers, according to the airline, CNBC reported.

What's to stop a man from claiming to be female to see the map of where women are sitting, and then booking an adjacent seat themselves?

In a parallel universe there's an Erica Barlow that decided she was too busy with her thesis and that sample remained just a pet rock.

“The big challenge is to drive down the price so that products like Savor’s become affordable to the masses—either the same cost as animal fats or less. Savor has a good chance of success here, because the key steps of their fat-production process already work in other industries,” Gates said.

Sounds like it's not currently price competitive but it might be in the future. I expect economies of scale would be helpful too.

I was referring to this trivia:

Picard's scene with Guinan was not in the original script. Melinda M. Snodgrass was told that they needed a "Ten-Forward" scene to accommodate Whoopi Goldberg coming in that week.

I took it as true, although I had a quick go at finding where this claim came from and am drawing a blank

Thinking there must be another way, I switched to Haproxy.

Hang on, weren't you on Haproxy already? Or do you mean you switched your attention to Haproxy? (If not, what were you in before?)

As others have said, blocking incoming stuff as high up as possible is definitely the right way, and Cloudflare is the right place for you. It's interesting that this bot wasn't caught by Cloudflare, I wonder who runs it.

On the plus side, forcing people to support alternative branch names surely has led to better software support for a core Git feature.
