Making a web app is a mistake 9 times out of 10, particularly when dealing with larger datasets. Because you're in physics, you probably want to skills you're learning to be transferable into physics and data science in general.

I recommend starting with python (if you know it already, awesome), then checking out pyqtgraph -- there's a bunch of demo apps that come with the package and you can use those as launch points. This will be your gateway into pyqt/pyside and legit desktop application development. Later, if you learn C++, you can transition into Qt (and still use all the power of the toolkit and the skills are transferable), or into raw C++ which is amazing for numerical computing.

Well, you kind of can actually. It just replaces KWin

Or old school Konqueror.

I use Firefox on my phone, and Chrome on my work computer.

This sounds like the sort of infrastructure project the Linux Foundation should be supporting.

I don't think fishing was the activity that the game was missing. But sure, why not haha 😂

No problem. We will solve our housing crisis by building everything out of concrete then -- an even higher emitter.

Yeah, CIBC is pestering me too. "Lock in early and get a special rate!". Aka, I still have two probable quarter points before renewal...

This could literally be in any big hotel in any city and it would look the same haha.

Language is evolving. I agree with you but we will lose this fight in the long term ;)

This track is fun. "In this way, our minds were locked together."

I unashamedly love the Venetian Snares. Recommended launch point if you want to explore -- this album is one of the finest pieces of bottled aggression I've ever listened to: https://venetiansnares.bandcamp.com/album/rossz-csillag-alatt-sz-letett

That said, there are a lot of stinkers in the back catalogue haha.

The only way the US ever regresses from its current position is through internal disarray. They cannot be challenged by external forces, not in the foreseeable future anyway. Unfortunately, internal disarray of the magnitude required to effect the changes espoused herein are basically impossible without full scale civil war erupting. And that would be bad or worse. When the medicine is worse than the disease, you accept the disease.

I don't understand how authoritarian leaning conservatives and free speech absolutists align most of the time.
