So for fun, I ported by QOA encoder to Object #Pascal (via FreePascal) from my Common Lisp implementation (and my PCM file I/O stuff, and my ditherer class, since they were needed a full apples-to-apples comparison). Encoding a track from the Quake 2 soundtrack went from about 4.68 seconds to 2.47 seconds.

The whitefly, Bemisia tabaci, threatens agricultural productivity via crop damage and virus transmission. A novel individual-based model, implemented in #Embarcadero #Delphi, predicts population dynamics and helps to optimise control strategies.

#AlgoPoint is an application designed to assist teaching high school students in computational thinking. A new model for this software, written with the #Lazarus_IDE and #Free_Pascal enables teacher-student collaboration.

In working life, interruptions are widespread and can impair task performance. In an #EEG experiment that was controlled by software written in #Lazarus and #Free_Pascal, researchers found that temporal flexibility can benefit subgroups of workers.

Finally dug into Mode X. It can do some neat tricks 13h can't, but it's got some challenges as well... so I had to dust off my very rusty assembly skills
