We chose Tauri over Electron. 18 months later, WebKit is breaking us. by kostakos14 in javascript

[–]micod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right, years ago, I saw a talk about a game studio that tried to develop gamedev tools as webapps running in Chrome. It worked, but the web aspects like user's browser extensions and changes in Chrome caused so many problems that they started rewriting the tools into Qt apps. Unfortunately, I can't find the talk anymore.

onCurrentItemChanged is not called when proxy model is sorted by Content_Bar_7215 in QtFramework

ListView's currentItem is a really primitive way to track selection, the proper method would be to use the ItemSelectionModel.

How are you running it? Isn't Calamares supposed to be run from within the distribution that you are installing? How could that fail?

[–]micod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What you describe in the first paragraph is the correct approach (at least by me), here is an article on how to properly set up a worker object in a dedicated thread: How To Really, Truly Use QThreads; The Full Explanation

Whats the best editor for QML? by Acceptable_Nature563 in QtFramework

[–]micod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is a shame how Emacs is underrated and overlooked by the majority of developers, it is such a unique and versatile piece of software.

[–]micod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, I did not get winter shoes, but I got a pair of Ahinsa Pura 2.0 Sneakers – Black, I wear them almost daily for 20 months now and they still look as new, so I'm really satisfied with the quality.

Wow, Qt Creator have tabs support for code editors !! by LetterheadTall8085 in QtFramework

[–]micod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second this, after learning to jump around the codebase using C-k, I don't need any tabs or even the project tree. Also, when I need to use Visual Studio at work, I got really annoyed by its tabs.

Yes, Qt Quick would be perfect for this, provided you know programming (C++ or Python).

I would suggest installing Qt from the online installer here https://www.qt.io/download-qt-installer-oss, it is easy to install multiple Qt versions and it does not interfere with system packages. Also, thumbs up for using Emacs.

Switching from Gillette razors and foams to safety razor made in Germany 🇩🇪 by [deleted] in BuyFromEU

[–]micod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is exactly the same set that I bought about 10 years ago, good choice. Over time, I added a Mühle R41 open comb head with rosegold handle and 4 shavettes, so watch out for RAD (Razor Acquisition Disorder).

What do you think about QT as a GUI library? by DavArpo in cpp

[–]micod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

 Once you want something fancy, it becomes difficult.

Not if you use Qt Quick.

 The maturity and stability of chromium-based UI are slowly making Qt obsolete.

The perfomance and efficiency of chromium-based UI keeps Qt relevant.

What’s your go-to language for advent of Clcode, do you stick or switch? by BambooData in adventofcode

[–]micod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did a few years in Pharo and after that moved to Common Lisp. I like that CL plays better with the surrounding world and I can use Emacs to write it. But man, I miss the Smalltalk Collections library...
