True, you could write a new Qt control. Then you hit the second requirement: complete bitmap theming, many times of a skeuomorphic kind. This is extremely difficult to do in something like Gtk/Qt.

Funny how there are a few domains where the same problem is solved over and over again. Probably an indication that a good solution is truly missing. A long time ago I wrote a tiny audio synth. And yep, I wrote my own minimal GUI which had

Indeed, replacing this with the list of top 100 passwords would be much more effective.

While that might be true, you are not going to switch the world to program in Haskell. We need a solution which also works for most used languages, JS/C++/Java/Python..., which suggests that it should be done at a higher leve

> running all non-I/O dependencies in an entirely separate process from the main program. Maybe that's not such a bad idea. This "strong_password" thing is written in Ruby, a few milliseconds delay is probably not not

We need a sort of capability and permission method for libraries. For example a "strong_password" library should only by given "CPU compute" permissions, no I/O. But even with this, the problem will be like we see o

The phone will presumably drop to 4G inside or switch to WiFi. You can't have it all.

Using Blend feels to me like using Word to create HTML pages - the resulting output is horrible. CSS layout was indeed a struggle many years ago, but now with flexbox I never failed to put stuff exactly where I wanted, and I barely understa

I've used WPF extensively 10 years ago. It's nowhere near as easy to create a complex GUI as Vue/HTML/CSS. And that just for functionality. If we talk about looks, WPF is very clunky to theme.

Is anybody working on bringing reactivity to GUI development? After working with Vue/React, doing GUI apps "the old way" feels like writing quick-sort in assembly language.

This is well known. Why do you think the strongest of the strong bacteria are found in hospitals? Because they do a lot of cleaning and disinfecting. The weak are purged, the few who remain don't have to compete with the weak on other

Clicking on table cell initiates/closes trades. Even if you can't react in 100ms, is useful to see how fast they change (how volatile the market is). 1s is definitely too slow. See an example on how they look: https://y

I have a table of 100 rows x 10 columns mostly of numbers which change 10 times a second (think trading). The source data sits in an array of objects. On each update, I need to update the table cells with the latest values from the source a
