Pascal debugging
There is supposed to be a VS Code debugger extension for Free Pascal. ext install CNOC.fpdebug But codium couldn’t find it. So it appears the best way to debug even Simple Applications is using Lazarus. This creates a project file and everything. You can add breakpoints and look at variables, but writeln() doesn’t output anything. …
Even more proof that I’m right about Pascal typed constants
At this point… I’m beating a dead horse. My previous post about this. I found another book “Object Pascal Handbook” by Marco Cantù. He includes a note in his constants section (He describes it as odd)… Oddly enough, Object Pascal does allow you to change the value of a typed constant at run-time,as if it …

Go embeded struc’s
In my previous post, concerning embeded struc’s, I said “I don’t undestand the syntax”. To expand on my misunderstanding, it’s in the creation of p1, specifically the person: person part (see below) I get the second person… it’s the type. But I don’t get the first person. I can’t code person1: person, so if they …
Go, I won’t let one thing hang me up!
In the Go course, the instructor is talking about embedded struc’s. And I don’t really understand an example. I understand the purpose/concept, but I don’t undestand the syntax. I can run his code and see that it works. So I’ll just tuck it away in the recesses of my mind, until I have a thought …
Return to the Udemy Go course
It’s been a while but trying to jump back into Todd’s Go course. Very knowledgeable but trying to match the course content with the course is a challenge. He has some very interesting and useful VS Code tips. Taking a break from the Udemy Lazarus course but likely won’t return, because of his attitude about …
Big Cell phone outage
My daughter couldn’t call me and I got “Your phones not registered on a network” message trying to call her. Turns out it was a nationwide problem that mostly affected AT&T networks. And I was on Cricket which uses the AT&T network.
Old game show with computer
On “I’ve Got A Secret”, The secret was “I’m having my 1957 income tax figured out in 22 seconds” an “electronic brain”, as Gary Moore (the host) referred to it, was on stage. There also was a card reader and line printer. The guest was Mr. David Hemmes an IBM mathematician. Garry said it “was …
Further proof that I’m right about Pascal typed variables
Specifically pre-initializing arrays in the const section. Wasn’t even looking for this… honest. But I decided it’s probably best that I teach myself Pascal OOP, rather than listen to an instructor who is not particularly interested in doing things new ways… because it might break his code. So I have this Pascal book in my …

Google IDX
Looks VSCodeish, will keep an eye on this. Some info here also. Why does the old TV show called Who do you Trust?, come to mind? However as many people pointed out, Google has a habit of abandoning things.
