True, but I'd like to mention that these are still valid options for companies and teams. Not to mention that latency will inevitably be superior with a local server. I'm not sure there's a way around it. Skype is pretty mu

But did you _actually_ try the alternatives? I've been using mumble for more than a decade now, and I've pushing it into 3 working places as a substitute to skype, asterix and lync (the microsoft voip solution). It's not real

Can you point to some well designed QML interfaces? I can spot QML from the ill-fitting looks and mostly poorly though-of interaction. People think QML has magic powers, but in reality any UI designed in 5 minutes has only the value of a 5

I've used the Lenovo's "adaptive keyboard". It's crap to use, especially for development. FN keys are especially easy to remap for macros or lesser used functions, and having no haptic feedback essentially kills the

For what I see, the first and foremost initiating factor for a statistical package is education, and second it's available methods/packages. You have universities where you can clearly see that the predominant taught package is St

There's actually Jupyter. Then there's a julia backend for ess as well. I'm using R regularly, and I couldn't care less for R-Studio. In our stat group, only 1 statistician out of 7 is using R-studio, while all of them a
