What do you think of WxWidgets? Better designed than QT? Seems to have a broad range of users. http://wxwidgets.org/about/users.htm Python & QT could be an option, but the whitespace is annoying (I shudder to th

Subsurface, the diving software originally written by Torvalds, is moving to QT because they are sick of problems with GTK. If you follow the mailing list, they're only using the minimal amount of C++ required for QT, otherwise everyth

I build desktop apps for the Mac but want to build cross-platform software going forward. A native look'n'feel is a bonus, as well as easy deployment. I also don't want to be tied down to proprietary APIs like I am on the M

I already know C and have experience with ObjC and some C#. I've gone through the Vala tutorials, not really too complicated. I prefer to use a language like ObjC or Vala to do GUI programming, but QT appears to have momentum (e.g. LX

When you submit, why aren't you told that your submissions are DOA? Instead, you get no warning, so you believe your submissions have been accepted, when in fact nobody else can see them. If you click the "New" link you actu

I think this is wrong. What if AppleInsider is the source of an important story? Why should we only be able to post via a third party news site? This kind of blanket censorship is completely at odds with a community who generally seem to v

There is a thorny issue with kickstarting open-source projects like this. Suppose a third-party developer can make a major contribution to the project, to solve a nasty bug or add a technically challenging feature. How does that developer g

The question is why 7 years? After all, the amount of gold to be returned is not that much! "“In two months, we’ve brought 160 tons of gold valued at around $9 billion back to Venezuela,” http://www.bloomberg.com/news&

Also cringeworthy is "Assembled in USA" with pictures of the device showing a photo of a person draped in the stars'n'stripes. Snapping in place a back plate doesn't change the reality that the device is 99% manufac

I guess it depends on what you mean by reliability - from the FAQ: RethinkDB is not a good choice if you need full ACID support or strong schema enforcement — in this case you are better off using a relational database such as MySQL.

So if I fork Bitcoin by changing the hashing algorithm and tweaking a parameter, am I suddenly a "creator" too? Get real. This is an insult to Satoshi Nakamoto.

"Creator" of Litecoin - is this some kind of joke? Litecoin is a trivial fork of Bitcoin. Litecoin uses scrypt instead of SHA256 for proof-of-work and the total number of coins is 84 million instead of 21 million. That's it
