Most Linux users would prefer a well-designed curses application over a GUI. You don't have to ask me, just look at what Linux users actually run and share screenshots of. I'm talking about real Linux distro users not Chromebook u

IMO the worst part about this is not the pricing change but the fact that they advertise using CMake as a selling point.

There is no alternative. No one other than Qt will expend the massive amount of effort to maintain such a thing. Everyone sees the writing on the wall with the new ARM Macs if it wasn't already apparent. Desktop applications are on the

Spotify is CEF (Chromium Embedded Framework) as is the Adobe CC desktop application. CEF is geared toward native C++ and is probably more of a Qt alternative than Electron in that regard.

People bring up this misconception every time Qt is mentioned. It is free as in beer (LGPL) at least on desktop. You can sell a proprietary commercial application using Qt without paying a dime as long as you dynamically link Qt (which can

Buy hard drives, do frequent backups, store redundant backups remotely, use RAID. At the end of the day someone must pay for the hard drives and they could just stop paying for it one day. There is no such thing as permanent and free.

It's not portable. It looks really bad on a terminal emulator that does not support emojis (at least half of the ones out there esp on Linux). There are dozens of emoji fonts which all look different. You never know what your user is g

My advice as a user of CLI: - no emojis please, ever - if you want to make it look nice, use ANSI escape codes for color rather than emojis. even then, don't use color alone to convey meaning because it will most likely get destroyed b

The business case for native apps (whether on desktop or mobile) is that it's not just another tab people can X out of. Installing a native app feels like a commitment. The icon is there. It might be sitting in the tray/taskbar. I

Yes, modern cards are basically YubiKeys. You can't trust people (such as bank employees) to maintain private keys. That would never work. Maybe some kind of USB/Bluetooth device that can authorize your physical debit card can let

Plaid is more of a monopoly than Visa is. Plaid is literally the only way to do ACH without microdeposit verification. There is no reason Plaid should have a monopoly on this. If banks opened up APIs for bank account verification, then anyo

Most "REST" APIs are just RPC. Many "REST" URLs are just the names of the methods they call on the remote endpoint. REST is good for things like downloading and uploading documents or media to a web server. GET, PUT, POS

Thrift and gRPC can "push" until the cows come home (streaming). Use the correct tool for the job. HTTP is for hypertext documents, not APIs or RPC.
