That's definitely a good point. But it's also sort of self-fulfilling: those layout misalignments and RTL font issues you mentioned become less of an issue as more people embrace Qt. Chrome presumably has figured it out simply because so many people are reliant on it working. If more people embraced Qt, they'd fix the hard parts as they would have more investment.

JMP and stata are really solid tools, but I feel like the advantage stems from the fact that they help me discover new statistical methods. In the GUI I can see an option for something I never seen before, read the documentation, and therefore expand my stats skillset. This type of discoverability is a bit harder with R/Python just due to the nature of it being purely script driven.

sorry how do you mean with outlook? is there really a way to remove the "modern" design and unveil the 90s beauty beneath?

that's awesome! I tried to do the very same thing: https://github.com/simulatedphysics

do you have a website by any chance where I can follow progress?

neato! I've really enjoyed using sciter.

_jordan — Fri, 26 Nov 2021 15:48:31 +0000

this looks great! I think I'll give it a read. I am curious to know how pandas stacks up against matlab; like what where the semantic decisions the pandas folks made, the tradeoffs, etc.

May I ask if the approach you describe here was what you applied in the FAANG interview? I would be pleasantly surprised if it worked! :)

sciter is a really wonderful piece of software. it's performance has been really impressive when I was benching it against qt

The constexpr specifier should give C++ an advantage

Thanks for all your (and teams) hard work! Really liking Streamlit. One thing I've encountered is odd aspect ratio / figure sizing in matplotlib / seaborn plots, but otherwise it's been great

I've been playing around with this casually for a few weeks and am quite impressed. It's a definite improvement over Jira in simplicity and performance, but is missing quite a few features still. But still, it's my preference. I have started to appreciate light, fast, minimalist interfaces much more over time.

I do wish System76 could sell a Lenovo P53 and/or the new Dell XPS 17, but with pop installed with all the right drivers etc. It's worth the premium IMO to get a laptop you know will work well with linux.
