Yes. Going back to the top or confirming tha data when exiting the last field was a setting. You may have multiple commands on one row but you have to separate them with a ;


You can still compile dbase/Clipper programs with Harbour, github hosted, open source, Clipper 5.2 compatible compiler that runs almost everywhere, from native windows 64 bit to mac, raspberry, linux, embedded appliances, anywhere there is a c compiler available.

The language has been slightly expanded and with external libraries you may have gui programs (win32, qt, gtk) l, connect to databases (sqlite, mariadb,postgres...) create PDF, excel files.

I have a program started in 1986 on dbase III, then ported to Clipper and now to Harbour...


I'd never heard of Harbor (https://harbour.github.io/), thanks!

I still work on software that started out in dBase II in 1986 or so, then went to FoxBase+ when I started in 1988, then Foxpro and now Visual Foxpro.


oh, yes.

Strait of Messina, as is called that part of the mediterranean sea, is really really busy, with a lot of maritime traffic.

Some researchers pointed out that the planned height of the bridge from the sea level is not enough for the biggest ships


It's a telluric area--- sicily and the continent are moving and their distance increases some centimeters every year.

Also look for "messina earthquake" year 1908, between 75000 and 82000 people died.

It is a "trophy" for some politician... so no, it's not an easy task.


Not to mention the fact that the economy of the whole of Sicily amounts to about 90 billion euro, the neighboring Calabria amounts to 35 billion and the nearest major city to Sicily is Naples, 480 km away.

There just isn't an economic case for a bridge.


Don't want to start a flame but what is missing to the children is exactly being bored.

We used to bring paper and pen to have them draw.


That's totally fine. My children get plenty of boring time, sometimes they get creative, sometimes they do not.

When they are creative, their creation is not always compatible with the environment (too noisy, too active). Not all children like drawing either. Tablet is consistent, which is helpful when going to a restaurant.

Just to be clear, I use tablet only as a tv, I don't allow any games, too many exploits child's mind.

If I went more often to the restaurant, it would make sense to have different activities though, you are right. We go maybe once every 2-3 months, so the tablet was acceptable. It has become way too expensive eating out.


On a recent tv reconstruction by an italian TV show about historically events ("una giornata particolare") it seems that the archeologists are finding remains of food typical of the autumn


We have 3 cluster, prod, dev, test with a few pod each.

Each cluster is wasting tons of cpu and i/o bandwidth just to be idle. I was told that it is etcd doing thousands i/o per second and this is normal.

For a few monolith


There are several articles about film preservation in digital format. Every X years all the data is "upgraded", from LTOn to LTOn+1 or +2.

So it may sound like a sales pitch but I consider it more a warning notice


That means the hardware and the file format.


Your past data shows you sell 100 apples every day, despite the cost. Then it shows that you may sell other 100 if the price is considered "low" by the clients or 30 if the price is "high". Then you know how many are in stocks, from how many days, and how many are arriving. And you fix the price accordingly


I live in that part of Rome where we have 2 phases and no neutral.

I discovered being electrocuted and I could not understand why.

Fortunately heat pumps, "stupid" car chargers and other appliances work with no problems. But an installer told me that I could have had problems with smart car chargers and he refused to do the work.

Also Shelleys seem to work.
