Games are wholly enclosed binaries that render everything in open gl or whatever, their entire ui is written in the 3d space, so there's less layers I'd imagine.

I was the engineering manager for a time at a company who launched a competing product to dropbox (its dead now). During my time there we deployed a common c++ core that did the business logic, and we wrote the uis in Qt with Qml for the forms. We also used swig to export the c++ objects to java. Our ui forms looked native, and they ran on every mobile os at the time (Windows phone, iphone, android), and we even used some of the Qml forms on our desktop ui.

Yes it was kind of a pain in the ass to share code like this, but it worked, and the mobile guys mostly just dealt with the specific problems relative to the mobile domain and not api integration issues with our cloud.

That being said, I can tell you for certain our mobile devs (most of them anyway) would've preferred writing their own client api in the native language of the platform. Maybe Dropbox just got tired of dealing with that, they have the money now to hire fleets of engineers to write just about anything on any platform, why would you even bother sharing a client library in that case? But in our case, we were a small team, so we really didn't feel comfortable just letting the next mobile dev who walked in the door come up with another foundation library.

Coding is hard, coding with a team is even harder.

I will never sell my 103UB realforce 55g weighted keyboard. It is the best keyboard I have ever owned.

I would pay top dollar for a 2011 era 17 inch macbook chassis, with 2019 era internals.

Hmm I tried that too, year since I was on any social media, still just as lonely lol.

Can relate, I live next to my X1 Extreme lenovo laptop. God bless its keyboard.

I run my own dns server with a forward rule to a local cloudflared dns proxy. ISP's can't see my queries.

Heh yeah I eat a ton of that ginger all throughout the meal

I agree, even when I do have the option of getting 'real' wasabi I always prefer the horse radish based one.

And still... there are many reasons why you'd chose this language over others. They're probably doing _something_ right.

Qt is nice but takes some effort to make it do what you want it to do, just like any other c++ project. Once you get the hang of it though it can do just about anything, on any platform. At my previous job we had deployed a single code base QML ui interface across mac/windows/linux/android/ios. The mere fact you can do that and have it not look like junk everywhere is pretty cool.

lol, you've never been married have you

I like to hate on Intel as much as the next guy but as someone currently shopping for a new workstation, I still see Intel as having the better offerings across the board, at least if you're not taking price into consideration. Take for example their HEDT competitor, Threadripper. As much as I want to like it, the fact that two of the cores don't have direct memory access really is a problem. You can see the detrimental effects this can have: https://www.anandtech.com/show/13516/the-amd-threadripper-2-...

I like templates, because to date there is not a popular language that can do compile time stuff it can do. And no joke, some of the stuff you can do is quite amazing.

Hope Rust runs on Solaris, for Josef's sake at least lol.

As much as I like to think apple is really fuct and what not (I mean, I relish seeing them suck lately), fact is they are mere inches away from fixing all of the recent complaints people have had with their products. I'm seriously looking forward to this years macbook refresh, (less so the mini, but its still a cool piece of kit).

No shit sherlock

Recently had to contact dell due to the 'floppy screen' issue on the xps 13's, really good service, got the laptop back in 3 days. And you know what, Microsoft is also kicking ass in the service department. Had an issue with a license and in the middle of the night I was able to contact someone and they gave me a new pro key for the trouble.

Compare that to all the terrible customer service news from apple, and I think apple is really the one that needs to change more the the other guys at this point.

Been running the xps as my daily since november, best laptop I've ever owned. Totally got alienated from mac due to the terrible keyboard.

That said, macos is still a pretty amazing thing, especially coming back to it after running linux on a laptop for so long.

But hey, windows on this thing is also pretty awesome, I mean with bash and wsl running I can test my cross platform apps all on the same machine, while also having access to the worlds finest debugger, visual studio 2017.

Now if only I could include macos in that mix once in a while...

The only solution is to simply have multiple laptops, depending on your mood, grab one haah.
