Luckily I was watching over the shoulder of a friend when his hung as it was a while ago I had encountered issues like that.
Sometimes the system would get in trouble without warning: the machine would just hang. No Windows Event log or other place where we could trace back the origin.
I suspected failing hardware because it was similar to other machines I had seen: memory, loose connectors or power issues came to mind first.
After about a week of trial and error I decided to check SMART status. HDTune did not warn of anything special. SmartCtl however did:
This drive may hang after 5184 hours of power-on time:

See the following web pages for firmware updates:
http://www.crucial.com/support/firmware.aspx
http://www.micron.com/products/solid-state-storage/client-ssd#software
The relevant links (I prefer the WayBack links as at times the site is very slow) are below.
After upgrading the firmware, the problems were gone.
| version | compatible products | download | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 070H | Crucial m4 2.5-inch (7mm & 9.5mm) SSD | Windows® 7 Updater Application | Windows® 8 Updater Application | Manual Boot File for Windows and Mac® |
| Release Date: 04/02/2013
Firmware 070H is recommended for anyone currently running 040H or previous firmware releases. It includes incremental improvements and refinements over these versions which may improve the overall user experience. Like recent firmware versions, version 070H has improvements over versions 000F which are specific for Windows 8 and new UltraBook systems, although systems running Windows 7 and other operating systems may also see improvements. Any m4 firmware The following is a summary of changes between 040H and 070H, which are independent of operating system:

For my link archive: [WayBack] Getting the up to date project source code from the IDE – Dave’s Development Blog
It shows how to “using the IDE’s live files and if the IDE hasn’t got a file open, the file from disk”.
This gives you the same view the compiler in the IDE has.

On my list of things to play with: [WayBack] Joseph Redmon: How computers learn to recognize objects instantly | TED Talk | TED.com
It is about the super fast YOLO (You Only Look Once) engine that runs a full frame through a neural network performing object classification for all objects.
It can classify many frames per second.
More links on how to install it and get going:

Sometimes simple examples are the best: [WayBack] Python – list transformation – Stack Overflow.
Interactive example (note you can run and save at repl.it in either [WayBack] Repl.it – Python 3 or [WayBack] Repl.it – Python 2; you can run but not save it at [WayBack] Welcome to Python.org: interactive Python shell):
# Links the documentation are Python 2, though everything works in Python 3 as well.
x = [1,2,3,4,5,11]
print("x: ", repr(x))
y = ['01','02','03','04','05','11']
print("y: ", repr(y))
# List comprehension https://docs.python.org/2/tutorial/datastructures.html#list-comprehensions
# ... using `str.format()` (Python >= 2.6): https://docs.python.org/2/library/stdtypes.html#str.format and https://docs.python.org/2/library/string.html#formatstrings
y = ["{0:0>2}".format(v) for v in x]
print("y: ", repr(y))
# ... using the traditional `%` formatting operator (Python < 2.6): https://docs.python.org/2/library/stdtypes.html#string-formatting y = ["%02d" % v for v in x] print("y: ", repr(y)) # ... using the format()` function (Python >= 2.6): https://docs.python.org/2/library/functions.html#format and https://docs.python.org/2/library/string.html#formatstrings
# this omits the "{0:...}" ceremony from the positional #0 parameter
y = [format(v, "0>2") for v in x]
print("y: ", repr(y))
# Note that for new style format strings, the positional argument (to specify argument #0) is optional (Python >= 2.7) https://docs.python.org/2/library/string.html#formatstrings
y = ["{:0>2}".format(v) for v in x]
print("y: ", repr(y))
# Using `lambda`
# ... Python < 3 return a list y = map(lambda v: "%02d" %v, x) print("y: ", repr(y)) # ... Python >= 3 return a map object to iterate over https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1303347/getting-a-map-to-return-a-list-in-python-3-x/1303354#1303354
y = list(map(lambda v: "%02d" %v, x))
print("y: ", repr(y))
Output:
Python 3 Python 2

Reminder to Self:
{The class used to catch attempts to execute a virtual method of a freed
object}
TFreedObject = class
public
procedure GetVirtualMethodIndex;
procedure VirtualMethodError;
{$ifdef CatchUseOfFreedInterfaces}
procedure InterfaceError;
{$endif}
end;
If you encounter the class TFreedObject when doing a cast, then you’re working on a freed object and have FastMM4 enabled to detect that.
Source: [WayBack] FastMM4/FastMM4.pas at master · pleriche/FastMM4 · GitHub; FastMM4 – A memory manager for Delphi and C++ Builder with powerful debugging facilities
Note that if you want to see the underlying FastMM data for any TObject allocation, use this watch (where Self is the current instance):
PFullDebugBlockHeader(PByte(Self) - SizeOf(TFullDebugBlockHeader))^
You can also put a ,r behind it to see the fields of this structure:

As I will likely need this one day: [Archive.is / WayBack] Crosscompiling with Lazarus 1.8 on Linux Mint 18.3 | The Programming Works.
There are quite a few one-time manual setups to initially set this up, but after that it’s a piece of cake.
via:
There’s a lot to like about Lazarus. To automate building for multiple targets, a nice option is Build Modes and the menu option “Compile many Modes”. From command line, you can use
lazbuildwith--operating-system,--cpu, or--build-modeswitches.
