neat. python or c++? also I tried to enter in my email into where it says "Get useful tips and updates in your inbox." and it is stuck saying "processing"

sweet. looks good. what gui toolkit is this using?

That's definitely a good point. But it's also sort of self-fulfilling: those layout misalignments and RTL font issues you mentioned become less of an issue as more people embrace Qt. Chrome presumably has figured it out simply because so many people are reliant on it working. If more people embraced Qt, they'd fix the hard parts as they would have more investment.

JMP and stata are really solid tools, but I feel like the advantage stems from the fact that they help me discover new statistical methods. In the GUI I can see an option for something I never seen before, read the documentation, and therefore expand my stats skillset. This type of discoverability is a bit harder with R/Python just due to the nature of it being purely script driven.

sorry how do you mean with outlook? is there really a way to remove the "modern" design and unveil the 90s beauty beneath?

side note: what an absolutely beautiful website. clear and fast. I love it.

https://linear.app/ this one looks pretty good. I used https://www.broadcom.com/products/software/value-stream-mana... at a previous gig and really liked it

side note, I love the design / color scheme

that's awesome! I tried to do the very same thing: https://github.com/simulatedphysics

do you have a website by any chance where I can follow progress?

neato! I've really enjoyed using sciter.

this looks great! I think I'll give it a read. I am curious to know how pandas stacks up against matlab; like what where the semantic decisions the pandas folks made, the tradeoffs, etc.

May I ask if the approach you describe here was what you applied in the FAANG interview? I would be pleasantly surprised if it worked! :)

sciter is a really wonderful piece of software. it's performance has been really impressive when I was benching it against qt

The constexpr specifier should give C++ an advantage

Thanks for all your (and teams) hard work! Really liking Streamlit. One thing I've encountered is odd aspect ratio / figure sizing in matplotlib / seaborn plots, but otherwise it's been great

interesting - was this inspired by this post the other day on HN? looks good though! https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23746445 / https://tmpch.at/

I've been playing around with this casually for a few weeks and am quite impressed. It's a definite improvement over Jira in simplicity and performance, but is missing quite a few features still. But still, it's my preference. I have started to appreciate light, fast, minimalist interfaces much more over time.

you can't buy thinkpads from the lenovo website? TIL

I do wish System76 could sell a Lenovo P53 and/or the new Dell XPS 17, but with pop installed with all the right drivers etc. It's worth the premium IMO to get a laptop you know will work well with linux.

What UI library does this use? Looks great. Is it a web technology?

I think it has to do with this idea that you aren't an advanced engineer if you don't use words like 'protocol buffers' and 'event-driven architecture' and 'distributed systems engineering' in your day-to-day. talking in clear and plain terms means you don't know a lot of stuff to justify your generally very high salary. (or at least, that's the flawed mindset)

https://monodraw.helftone.com/ for MacOSX is great

Phenomenal language. compiles applications to a single binary which makes it super convenient to move around environments

One of the highest quality software projects I've ever seen. It just works so well.

Awesome project - thanks for this

I sorta feel the same way - but then I think about the 800(?) employees they have and their combined skillset in database administration, internals, research, philosophy and I'm left feeling like there has got to be a very strong technical and business use case that I just don't see. Like I would imagine that if I were locked in a room with their Sr. product people and devs, they could easily convince most people of mongodb. I would pay money to see a debate style db-off between Postgres' core devs, and representatives from Mongodb.

Nice! Would you recommend self-administered OTC blood glucose testing for a more definitive result?

regarding the database question:

I hear it as:

"Tell me how detailed your understanding is of database internals in a conversational format; here is a talking prompt to help..."

regarding typing in the url question:

"Tell me the level in which you understand networking protocols"

In the real world I would hope these questions would be more of a discussion; "ah, you mention ACID, what kind of pattern can you employ to help implement that", "MVCC" etc..

This format of interview is hard to pass on simply regurgitation alone and does a pretty decent job of vetting technical understanding in a natural, conversational way.

I wish someone would have explained how to approach learning Rust; It's a really hard language to grasp - when struggling, I think it's important to really understand why whatever you're doing is hard - to learn where your misunderstanding and errors are fundamentally. This is non technical but might be worth mentioning.

What is a student decides not to pursue software engineering? Do you still take your cut? In my experience, the market is oversaturated with code bootcamp grads; many of them decide to go back to their previous profession.
