They should spin off the old Edge as a reincarnation of Reader from Windows 8. It was a great app and I hoped it would become as versatile as Preview on Mac. It was annoying when I double clicked a EPUB (or PDF) it would open the browser an

Yes, most private hospitals have this model in India where the same surgeons treat the highest paying and the lowest paying patients. However, the price difference between the base pricing across these hospitals vary a lot and you tend to g

I was just thinking about the comparison between the medical industry and airline industry. In medicine you can (or have to) pay a premium to get the best doctors and expertise [1]. In the airline industry, the safety aspect is standardised

This looks neat! It will be great to have a Linux version in the future. I’m not too hopeful as this seems to be made native to the platforms (and very well!) by experienced native devs. Maybe, the app becomes very popular and there will ev

Yes, have been excitedly following Scenic since Boyd Multerer's talk about his experiments a couple of years back. Haven't tried it yet as I somehow kept putting off wrapping my head around Elixir and FP

NanoGUI[1] is another GUI framework which uses NanoVG underneath. Interested to know if the author is familiar with that and what's their take on it. [1]: https://github.com/wjakob/nanogui

I'm curious if you have come across (and recommend) any framework which lie in between Photon (Cairo) and Dear ImGui. I'm trying to follow all thr efforts in native desktop GUI tools and am currently using Dear ImGui for something

Getting Things Done is a time management method, described in the book of the same title by productivity consultant David Allen. The GTD method rests on the idea of moving planned tasks and projects out of the mind by recording them externa

I used to feel the same way but I think there should be competing implementation of standards to make faster progress. GCC vs Clang is what comes to mind. The competition from clang improved the overall quality and performance of c / c

Nitpick: The HN link goes to the non-https site and I guess the site doesn’t force ssl. Maybe the link can be modified? I was considering buying the old books on amazon but had put it off since shipping to a different country is expensive.

Your idea sounds good. I'm tempted to say that handwriting (via stylus or finger) is important and so is intelligent reminder system. But that may be worth adding later.

I (and am sure many here) have been in the same situation. I have tried physical books (which I'm still biased towards), OneNote (my next favourite, especially on tablets with stylus), txt files, wiki etc. Ultimately what I realised is

I think at the annual Flutter conf in November they said they will be working towards making flutter officially support desktops. I hope Flutter and ScenicUX[1] can become strong options for building lightweight, good looking UIs for apps a

Do you recommend a good resource for learning the high level concepts of graphics programming? Just 2D is also good enough. Thanks

There have been many times when I have felt I was a much better programmer 4 years ago. One advice is to understand a good, sufficiently complex open source code base. Maybe something you use daily and perhaps wanted to add a feature or fix

Vue js. Everytime I tried to learn one of these frameworks before while doing a project I would quickly fall back to vanilla js as my projects weren't complex enough to see the value, which meant not much incentive to learn the APIs a

Thanks for making this and for all the great pointers here. I have been taking notes for years to build something like this. I had come across a zooming UI concept from Microsoft which dealt with a similar idea (don't remember the deta

It's so interesting to see a sudden surge in desktop GUI frameworks (or at least a sudden surge in interest if not actual new tools). I have been exploring this area for the last few weeks for a new project and have stumbled across the

Saying no. To clients for uninteresting work. To scope creep and stopping unbilled features. To friends and family for social commitments when I know I’m spreading myself thin and may not be able to go through or not be fully present. Thi
