Double clicking on a new Lazarus .lpi file, does open the code and form. As noted it wasn’t working on older .lpi projects. Something strange is happening though. After getting things working, I’m unaware of making any other changes. But perhaps look at another project…once again not making any changes or saving that I’m aware …

Free Pascal
I remember learning Pascal (Free Pascal) and Lazarus soon after. First attempts was in 2003. I remember writing a decent name parsing (Prefix, First, Middle, Last, Suffix) routine in Free Pascal. Below, timings for a million records. bill@bill-MS-7B79:~/Mystuff/Pascal> time ./nameparse Enter Input file : Enter Output file : 1000001 records read. real 0m4.016suser 0m1.962ssys 0m0.983sbill@bill-MS-7B79:~/Mystuff/Pascal>
Not a project, but things to play with
Recently I mentioned looking for a project. These are not projects but something to occupy my time. Julia Lazarus/SQLite Anaconda/Juypter Notebook stuff Yast’s one click Xen or KVM virtualization setup. I’ve lost a little interest in testing distros so I haven’t fooled with virtualization in a while.
More on Lazarus
Should I even bother with it? Only for personal enjoyment. Not for employment points. Nobody talks about Pascal these days or for many years. However it’s been around and improved since 1999…over 20 years. And the language it’s based on, Free Pascal has been around and improved since 1993…over 25 years. Free Pascal also offers …
Tumbleweed applying 422 updates!
Success!
Install Anaconda in new Mint
Wanted to get Python virtual environment working first…and I did! Then installed Anaconda. So review those procedures and Juypter Notebooks..
Python virtual environment
Installed using the distribution package manager on Mint. Activated. But pip list shows everything! To me virtual environment seem like a moving target that hasn’t been nailed down. Do it this way no do it this way. Oh you’re on this distro? Then never mind do it this way. Successfully used them before. I moved …
Lazarus
Installed v 2.0.12 in Tumbleweed. Lazarus is “The professional Free Pascal RAD IDE”. So it also installed Free Pascal version 3.2.0.I found an old Pascal directory. The one click install was much easier than I remembered installing it on Mint years ago. I created the below GUI Judo scoreboard using Lazarus, many many years ago …
Install Julia 1.6.2 on Tumbleweed!
Yep. That’s what I did!
Julia 1.6.2
Good time to dip my toes back into the Julia language pool. I’ve had some complaints about Julia. Quite possibly due to my not understanding certain concepts. One thing I can give Julia credit for is pushing me to move to Python 3! Julia to me had strong similarities to Python. At the same time …
