I think he's including the transfers from twitter in the 55kb (which is over 50k of it), which wouldn't cost him anything personally

Windows also advances by page when clicking in the gutter, BUT based on the handle size it seems like the example scrollbars are not demoing a large enough scroll area to show both behaviors.

Blink is to Chromium/Chrome as Webkit is to Safari

Webkit and blink are browser engines and Chromium/Chrome are both browsers, but Chromium doesn't include the closed source pieces that Chrome does.

Can you recommend specific python debuggers? I recently had to debug some py3 remotely and ended up using VS code, which worked but had some hiccups.

From the comment on commit which removed 50,000 lines of code: `The only supported platform is now Linux/x86-64 with JIT+FFI+GC64.`

And the readme: `Reduced code maintenance footprint ~50% by removing #ifdef features that are not required for Linux/x86-64 e.g. Windows support, 32-bit heap support, and non-x86 backends. This is a necessary short-term expedient to make the code maintainable while we bootstrap the project.`

I wonder how that 50,000 lines was broken down by feature...

I'll echo this.

I've maintained a production PyQt based app for 7-8 years (started on PyQt4/py2, moved to PyQt5/py3, but I evaluated PySide as well). It involved wrapping another Qt library for use from python. I found the bindings I created based on SIP (which is what PyQt is based on, both written by the same author) to be overall easier to create and smaller in size.

It's great that we're getting Qt backed bindings but Phil Thompson has done a wonderful job with PyQt over the years and I really would've liked to see it become the official library somehow.

You've been able to automatically translate types going back to PyQt4 (it's the default for PyQt5, wasn't changed in PyQt4 due to backwards compatibility IIRC, but you could opt-in). As mentioned elsewhere PyQt offers properties, decorators for connecting signals and slots, etc. I found the APIs to be very similar overall.

I tried searchmyfiles, and it's alright, but the best search tool I've found for windows is "Everything" by voidtools ( https://www.voidtools.com/support/everything/ )

I occasionally use it on a multi TB windows fileserver at work and after it does the initial index (which is really pretty fast because it uses the NTFS journals) searches are pretty much instantaneous. (I also use it at home, it's just less impressive after using it on that many files at work.)
