I recently saw a relative yell at their computer, as the chromecast popup menu grabbed the mouse focus and they couldn't pause the youtube video. I'm not impressed with their decisions in regards to UX.

Tk is pretty fast. It has bindings in multiple languages, though I'd suggest TCL. There is a starkit idea floating around, where people package a binary for each platform along with any other dependencies. It is much lighter than el

I wonder why I haven't heard that repeated more often. That is not good.

I completely agree, and no, it shouldn't be a prerequisite for voting. Using a mountain of indigestible information to assuage potential ignorance doesn't make much since... Like I said, I don't know how it should be presen

The idea that something in the commons should be funded by the majority isn't a new one. At this point the debate turns into an argument on tax policy and its peripherals... I don't think that debate will end until we all create

The only counter argument to this I could imagine would be the one I often hear used for other brain abnormalities; i.e. if the knowledge of a potential health problem instigates a mental health issue, ignorance could be better. I subscribe

I'm not sure about python's, but thankfully tcl's interpreter is so small you can package it with all your other code. Edit: Is there a python equivalent of tclquadcode, https://core.tcl.tk/tclquadcode/di
