neat. python or c++? also I tried to enter in my email into where it says "Get useful tips and updates in your inbox." and it is stuck saying "processing"
That's definitely a good point. But it's also sort of self-fulfilling: those layout misalignments and RTL font issues you mentioned become less of an issue as more people embrace Qt. Chrome presumably has figured it out simply because so many people are reliant on it working. If more people embraced Qt, they'd fix the hard parts as they would have more investment.
JMP and stata are really solid tools, but I feel like the advantage stems from the fact that they help me discover new statistical methods. In the GUI I can see an option for something I never seen before, read the documentation, and therefore expand my stats skillset. This type of discoverability is a bit harder with R/Python just due to the nature of it being purely script driven.
Not the OC, so not sure exactly what they meant, but if you go into File/Options it would recognizable to anyone from 20 years ago. But I would say the same thing about the equiv. screen in Photoshop. There's continuity in applications that have been around for decades, and that's not necessarily a bad thing.
The number one screen where you're exposed to it is in the filter configuration screen.
Sadly, there is nothing resembling beauty in that screen. It's a multi-page wizard that attempts to guide you through what should be a simple filter commandline to a frustrating exercise in in trying to convince the tool that yes, I do want to filter on an email address that is not in my address book.
It's from the era when the Internet just started becoming popular, and having hyperlinks instead of buttons was being introduced for no good reason at all.
Because the user is typically looking at the center of a screen.
Sure, you can organize you windows in a way to compensate and center the content manually. But I think there are two usage patterns:
1. maximized browser windows
2. non maximized windows
For the first pattern, the above statement is essential. Naturally, the user is looking at the center of the screen. The second pattern is somewhat unpredictable, because you neither know where the window is on the screen nor the size of it. But the typical behavior for centering content (`margin: 0 auto;`) does not make any difference compared to left aligned content when the window is smaller than the content. The only hard to judge situation is, when the window is not maximized, but larger than the content and I think for that case it is pretty hard to judge if left aligned or centered content is superior.
this looks great! I think I'll give it a read. I am curious to know how pandas stacks up against matlab; like what where the semantic decisions the pandas folks made, the tradeoffs, etc.
