The most interesting thing I’ve learned yet from this, and I’m not quite done with it, is that you can pass a constant (let) to a function, which can accept it as mutable, and therefore actually mutate data that the caller thinks cannot be

The discussion about shadowing variables doesn’t seem to make a very good case to me about this feature. Why would you want to introduce all those variables on the stack, each of a different type (even if they have the same name, presumably

There’s a reason why several very popular modern languages made the deliberate choice of not offering inheritance as a language feature.

I was very curious, so I found this: https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitwig/comments/4c2zoh/what_program... Sounds like it’s probably not much of a Java app.

I wonder if most of these are now using QML or if they’re primarily adopting the older widget style.

That's fascinating, I didn't realize Maya was non-commercial Qt. I wonder why; Autodesk can certainly afford a license.

The license for QT has been evolving quite a lot over the last year or two, which makes many developers very nervous to use it without a paid license. Have you seen what they’re doing?

Whenever I see something like this, my first question is, wow what a beautiful cross-platform UI -- I wonder what they are using? It's amazing how challenging it is in 2020 to have a simple path for creating a cross-platform UI that ac

I have a 4K option in the youtube menu. At one point in the video, there is a 1.8 million pixel image where they discuss and show zooming into the image while preserving detail.

This is interesting but I’d have to assume that the actual cost Vimeo is charging is not an important factor here. The developer time spent setting this up would quickly exceed the annual fee for Vimeo in just an afternoon. That excludes th

It seems you think a differing point of view in a debate must be delivered via condescension, which is unfortunate.

Despite that you’re getting downvoted, I’m rather curious about the connotation of these words myself.

So many browsers offer a blank tab with all this kind of information on it already. When you open the browser or open a new tab, you see that information anyway.

I wonder how much of those things he actually figured out in his 20s and just did not publish, versus thinking about them without drawing many conclusions or making significant progress until he actually published 20 years later?

I’m curious, just how wrong is the comment? A parallel political scenario, the election of Trump, was also characterized by a fundamental political platform centered against other races and cultures, and this was acknowledged and successful

I understand your point, even if I do disagree somewhat. While the freedom to interact in ways that are not electronic is still an option, it is such a tiny fraction of the choices most people make when communicating, that the presence of t

Excellent analogy, actually.

You’ve pretty much exactly described someone I know who caught the virus at the end of March as well. Approximately 40 years old, and healthy, and currently is exhausted from climbing one flight of stairs. She finally started leaving the ho

Interesting, the article seems to suggest that he did not have much of an impact until he published a couple decades later.

Notwithstanding your condescending tone of stating something obvious to me as a question, I’m not talking about the pandemic at all. The majority of communication between people is electronic now, messaging, email, the Internet as a whole.

Fascinating, I didn’t realize Newton was into his 40s before he made any specific contributions that led to his larger widespread influence. I just assumed that, like most of the greatest scientists in history, he was in his 20s when he cha

It's a neat technology but still quite infant. I've heard that it currently takes longer to implement a non-trivial UI due to the compiler errors, documentation gaps, and bugs with the framework. Patience is required.

I've flagged the title; it is incredibly poor etiquette to sneak half a gig in downloads on a user, especially when demonstrating something for mobile!

The redirect should happen automatically when they click the email, you shouldn’t ask the user to shuffle around their tabs after that point.

I don’t see anyone out there with widespread praise of the violence you are talking about.

But all the evidence from European countries tells us a lot about non-lockdown spread following a proper lockdown.
