  TigerData is bold, fast, and built to power the next era of software.
We already have a Tiger-themed database at home: https://github.com/tigerbeetle/tigerbeetle

When I saw the headline I immediately thought that TigerData is somehow related to the TigerBeetle.

I'm waiting for the NY Times to sue this one too.[1]

igitur commented on HeidiSQL Available Also for Linux   heidisql.com/forum.php?t=... · Posted by u/Daril

Long time user of HeidiSQL here. I respect the author a lot. He's been tirelessly working on this project for many years, mostly alone. Of course, that's due to the closed nature of Delphi.

It's great news that this is now available for Linux, but the better news for me is that I can now build it on Lazarus / FreePascal. Even if it doesn't support all the features (eg MSSQL), at least I can now contribute fixes for some UI issues that have been bothering me.

I can successfully build the FreePascal version on Windows and it runs... fine. Feels a little less snappy than the Delphi version and there are some UI padding issues. But it's a massive step in the right direction.

If you can, please support this project, either financially or through code. contributions. IHMO what is dearly needed is for the different SQL dialects to be abstracted out properly. It's currently done in a bit of a crude way (no disrespect to the author) and it will require a big refactoring to get it right, but will open doors to more dialects.

It was a challenge finding something truly foreign. I just kept stumbling across america's best hits of the 80s and 90s, all across the globe. With a steady helping of generic euro-pop.

But some revival preaching in africa really felt like visiting a foreign place, as did some cape town talk radio. Obviously the islamic world has a very different playlist, so that was a gimme. What a neat concept!

I assume you're referring to Cape Talk 567 [1], which broadcasts on 567 kHz AM/MW in the Cape Town region. I also enjoy it, although the late night political debates can become tiring. It has a sister talk radio station in Gauteng, Radio 702 [2]. Both are owned by Primedia.

I run ultramarathons and whether true or not, we sometimes joke about this. We'd say that the typical Springbok would fall down from exhaustion after 30 km and that's why we runners hit that metaphorical wall after 31 km; we evolved because we needed to outrun the gazelle by only a bit. From there on, it's a tough grind to complete the race.

Very tongue-in-cheek, but too good of a story not to tell.

Can confirm, my version here also got a notice: https://github.com/pwahs/fillominordle

Full notice is here: https://enterprise.githubsupport.com/attachments/token/cx6V4...

In that notice, they claim:

> We have given the owner a chance to remove all references to Wordle and alter his code to not infringe The Times’s copyright, but he has doubled down on knocking off The Times’s copyrighted content.

This is just false. The owner of the original Reactle repo (now deleted) was never contacted previously.
