A Book about Qt5 7 years ago

I really like QML but the licensing is kinda tough for hobbyists if you wanna do stuff outside of their opensource license. They used to have a cheaper license

The Dreamcast sold well at release and some time after (in North America at least), however Sega's financial situation was bad they didn't have loads of cash like Sony or probably even Nintendo at the time. The system was selling well but not well enough for Sega to recoup it's financials. Also EA boycotted the system completely and was not publishing games for it. Add to that the hype of the PS2.

Just a perfect storm for Sega, even though they really made good console correcting a lot of their earlier mistakes.

From Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dreamcast

Moore stated that the Dreamcast would need to sell 5 million units in the U.S. by the end of 2000 in order to remain a viable platform, but Sega ultimately fell short of this goal with some 3 million units sold.

The Gamecube sold about 3.8 million first year and the PS2 9Million something first year

Recently tried installing a snap package on ubuntu for the first time. Because of the sandbox environment in snap packages I had some trouble giving it access to mounted NAS drive. Ended up just going with the apt version of the same program

Look up QML (Qt Quick) on Qt, its the easiest UI building experience I've ever had

Funny that QML looks alot like the JavaFX script that was abandoned

I live in NJ and the property taxes here are among the highest in the nation. My parents house is currently at 8k per year and that is considered "good".

Even in neighborhoods with shit schools taxes are ludicrous, an acquaintance of my family is paying 14k taxes for a small single family home in a town with a high school ranked 294 out of about 400 in the state. She wants to sell the house but due to high taxes and shit school buyers are hard to find.

Property taxes almost doubled in the past 10 years in my area, I am not looking forward to buying a house and then the property taxes doubling in another 10 years.

Proposition 13 sounds great to someone from New Jersey.

I think this document nowadays is more catered to embedded or micro-controller programmers. When the document was released it was common to get close to the hardware and probably most people had some experience/exposure nowadays not so much

hey fishpi, I think there might be a problem with your website. When I click software engineer I got the hardware engineer description, and when I clicked hardware engineer I got the Technical Solutions Engineer description. I tried this with IE9 and Opera Version 11.62 on Windows 7 and both yielded same result

Never seen it, its crazy though. So far around 17 thousand people are participating and less than one thousand have submitted an answer to that problem!

Spoke to manager today, basically they really want me to stay since I'm the only one doing it and there is no documentation. They even said they'll move me to what ever project I want, if I just train a new guy for the role. I told them tomorrow when I come in I'll decide.

That's the problem, I'm the only one supporting/coding this excel thing. Guy who was in my position before me quit the company and person who made these sheets is no longer on the project (Plus there is no documentation!). So while Im here I will be doing only VBA/support until the project ends
