Are you asking why Qt’s main target is the desktop, rather than mobile?

Regularity of successor cardinals. It just makes sense.

Well bust my buffers!

Yes, it’s specifically a dual pronoun, referring to me and one other, whereas “we” can apply to me and any (positive) number of other people.

I think it became popular because you can deliver the same app to mobile and desktop platforms. And because js gave people a very easy intro to development on the web so tons of people know it.

I don’t think it became popular because it was better at making an application on a single target. I’ve never made a webapp with the equivalent of GLADE or QtCreator so I don’t know if it even exists - but those tools are very decent if you had a basic understanding of UI layout.

Don’t tell ME how to have a good time

What RT interfaces do electron apps let you use ;)

I’m confused why Qt Creator wasn’t available - is this project old enough to vote or was there some technical reason :P

Writing stuff in a proper gui framework using the tools we’ve had for decades is not really that bad, it’s just not what all the tutorials are for. CSS can be an absolute pig to get things just so, or was until quite recently.

Yes, that may well be a factor reducing the reported number. But given that in this survey, nobody had to directly say that - boys were free to surmise that people they knew had one - less of a factor than otherwise, I’d say.

It’s not 1 in 5 boys have an AI girlfriend. It’s 1 in 5 boys say they know someone in such a relationship. That degree of separation mean 30 boys could all be thinking of the same one weirdo in their class, so really it’s 1 in 150, and it could mean many of them have misinterpreted something a friend said as something other than what it actually it is.

The value-prop is that it’s doing the job of juniors, not seniors.

We have an AI mandate at work so this morning I assigned a bug to the agent. And in fairness, for the 30 seconds it took to check what it was doing (beyond writing up the task which I would have had to do anyway), it seems to have found the problem. Had I or a junior dev had to do that, it would have taken longer. But if you set AI loose and have it try to fix every single crash and issue, you will have a complete mess on your hands, so that’s the level it can work at.

No they bloody aren’t though

I didn’t even realise

WTF is this cursed visualisation?

Please sir, may I have some bar chart?

It’s very popular to wail about how the UK is a police state. I guess it’s because the UK is culturally close to the USA, but different in some ways, so people become most aware of those differences, no matter how big they truly are. And Americans are very bad at comparing their own country to others, so an article about how many cameras there are in the UK or in London does not necessarily get such a comparison; it only decries the situation abroad.

The model 3 has always been a good buy on its merits as a car, so long as you don’t mind doing everything on the screen, so I don’t think you have a problem there…

Surely it’d be absurd for each individual app to need to implement this spec - that defeats the whole point. I can believe it’d be down to Qt or some other library, but as I said, I’m sure that’d apply to those two apps.

VW and Hyundai are producing great EVs.
