Considering the quality and capabilities of Qt, I really think they should just sell commercial licences. Considering the fact that the engineers at Qt need to pay to eat and pay their bills just like me, I find it absurd to expect somethin

The most common complaint I've heard from the data science team is that there isn't enough data to work with. I'm not fully convinced that data science with ML and more modern techniques are applicable across domains out of t

Have you tried A allegro5? Any take on which is better? I've tried both, but I'm too much of a newbie to have a reasonable opinion. Thinking of getting back on to one of the two.

The problem with this reasoning is that the numbers will start to look a lot less practical if we consider the total number of projects Google has shut down. If we applied this reasoning each time, they'll be out of cash a lot sooner t

Even if you can't afford to buy those, I'm sure you could talk to your manager/company and ask to borrow the ones you use in the office till you are able to go back to work. In a situation like this, I think they'll unde

Judging by the feature requests in the open issues, I'd say we are witnessing the inception of the text editor of the century.

I apologise for that. Actually that wasn't my intention. I meant to type "May be it doesn't require too much care" but I was typing on a mobile and I missed it. I do not look down on any programming language. What I mean

"It's not being more productive, it just seems that you're getting things done faster because you're taking out a loan on the quality of your software (i.e. technical debt) with every line you write." This. When som

Not to be rude or anything but if you continue down this road productivity might be the only thing going for you and you'll soon realise you are the only one who can work with your code. Substitute software engineering with any other e

I've been taking a puff at the wrong time. Should have waited for the traffic to clear a bit :p Title is just misleading, as is often the case with this kind of studies nowadays.

I did poorly for SAT general ability test. But was at the top most percentile (I can't remember the exact number here, long time back) in the subject tests (I think I took Math and Physics). I wonder how that happened if both tests pre

Looking at these, I feel that browsers do way too many things than they should.

Right. If your tagline is privacy first, the defaults should be set to maximum privacy (unless if it might break sites - in which case it may be acceptable to set to a less intense config). Any features that is a compromise between privacy

Somethings that's going to impress you down the line with C# debugging are using parallel stack views to debug multi threaded apps (without this could be significantly harder), remote debugging (sometimes you simply can't debug yo

You've got some insight there. But what can we do if humans just like to see and interact with beautiful people and avoid the ugly? It makes things a bit bleak for me personally, but I guess people want what they want :B

Researchers find that there are people who have not bought any clothes in a decade. Then attribute it to "Greta effect" which is, what less than a year old? We would have been so lost without Greta.

It's harder to specialise, takes more effort. Being a generalist is easier specially if you are charismatic. When we try to measure a correlation between success and specialisation, how good one is at it and its value to the economy is

I think it's the social aspect of it. There are people who feel lonely at home and really need some people around them most of the time. I enjoy wfh usually. It just takes overall less energy since no commute, can take a nap if I'

Genuinely inventing something, specially nowadays is very difficult. If a number of students start having those (especially if many of them do after an internship at IBM), it can become kind of a red flag. Also, after talking with someone w

It's going to be a little tricky to define "safe" once everything goes online. Internet is getting more and more governed by a few different players. "Less likely to ... track everything" hmm.

I don't know, I feel like designing a system to prevent a pilot from lifting nose too high up seems to make more sense than a system that actively pushes the nose down after it being lifted. If nothing else, passengers would feel a bit

The official report just came out. On what grounds would the existing administration just fire upper level management at an early stage? The appropriate response would be to force FAA to ground the planes (if and which FAA did not do themse
