Shame that. Last time I drove past a college in the US it was the day the hat sorts people into fraternities or however that works and there was a great big cardboard sign on the lawn with a poignant message scribbled in sharpie: "Thank you for your daughters"
Quite the facial expressions on parents dropping off their kids and good chunk of life savings at these ivory towers.
92% of students don't interact with fraternities in the U.S., depending on the school [1]. At the school I went to, it was 70%. If you disassociate yourself with the stupid frat/sorority culture, it is absolutely possible to get a lot out of college, both personally and professionally.
Eh, “the couch pulls out but freshmen don’t have to” was definitely a thing hanging off the balconies of sororities at my Uni, and we’re not even much of a party school anymore (comparatively)
Sort of. Improv lets you work in the pivot though, like that's the main view, and the ramifications of that are huge.
- You don't have to make your sum/avg/analytic rows because Improv does that automatically. Yes, Excel does this on the pivot tables, but because you can't work there, a lot of people make a SUM(B2:B999) or something to make summary data more accessible.
- Your formulas look simple like ConversionRate=Total:Closes/Total:Leads instead of =SUM(A2:A99)/SUM(B2:B99) and sure I know there's a way to make Excel do something like that, but nobody does, which is one thing that makes it hard to mix stuff between multiple documents in Excel -- someone moves the lead count on the lead sheet and it blows everything up back at headquarters. In Improv if someone renamed Leads to Pipe or something it'd break and you'd see that right away with much less chaos.
Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears;
I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him.
The evil that men do lives after them;
The good is oft interred with their bones;
So let it be with Caesar. The noble Brutus
Hath told you Caesar was ambitious:
If it were so, it was a grievous fault,
And grievously hath Caesar answer’d it.
Here, under leave of Brutus and the rest–
For Brutus is an honourable man;
So are they all, all honourable men–
Come I to speak in Caesar’s funeral.
He was my friend, faithful and just to me:
But Brutus says he was ambitious;
And Brutus is an honourable man.
He hath brought many captives home to Rome
Whose ransoms did the general coffers fill:
Did this in Caesar seem ambitious?
When that the poor have cried, Caesar hath wept:
Ambition should be made of sterner stuff:
Yet Brutus says he was ambitious;
And Brutus is an honourable man.
You all did see that on the Lupercal
I thrice presented him a kingly crown,
Which he did thrice refuse: was this ambition?
Yet Brutus says he was ambitious;
And, sure, he is an honourable man.
I speak not to disprove what Brutus spoke,
But here I am to speak what I do know.
You all did love him once, not without cause:
What cause withholds you then, to mourn for him?
O judgment! thou art fled to brutish beasts,
And men have lost their reason. Bear with me;
My heart is in the coffin there with Caesar,
And I must pause till it come back to me.
I know a lot of comments here are trying to show how hip they are and that garbage on top-10 Spotify is totally good for you - commendable attitude. Truly. But happens to be misguided if you develop your ears. Which you should. Has nothing to do with being an old fogey, pop music really has gotten worse for various reasons.
A style of music becomes popular, it takes over and everyone copies it so that they too can be successful. Then, it becomes stale and boring to young-uns who associate that style with their parents and jump on a new style of music and so that then becomes popular.
There are many GUI libraries out there that make use of existing toolkits written in other languages. Honestly, I think that may just be the correct way to go.
Not only does this allow to use "normal" trees for setting up components, it also reuses most of the usability features.
Drawing a box and some text has been solved now. Several Rust libraries can render entire UIs with all the common controls you can think of. The downside of using these pure Rust libraries is that they seem focused more on features than usability. The created UI looks like it belongs inside a video game engine. It doesn't match any of the controls you'd expect to see, it doesn't even try to use your system's theme settings, or even the common OS conventions in some case, especially if you're trying to go cross platform.
One of the best ways to develop snappy GUIs that stick to your system's settings and themes is to use the windows crate and package Wine with your executable. Wine can emulate your system's theme quite convincingly and the Windows API solves most of the accessibility problems. It's a massive pain to develop against, but in my opinion the end result is much more convincing as a "real" UI than many of the native libraries.
After that, Qt provides some pretty good control libraries but interacting with it from Rust is a little painful as you need to choose between tons of wrappers or dropping Rust's safety mechanisms with unsafe{}.
Personally, I'm hoping wxRust gets worked out more, as its still in its early stages by its own admission m. WxWidgets solves my usability problem well enough and is lightweight enough that I think it could finally solve my UI usability quirks. Sure, you'll have the lack of safety guarantees and rely on the C renderer, but WxWidgets has been out for so long that I'm confident the types of bugs switching Rust would solve have mostly been found by now.
Lishten, money penny, just because we have face swapping technology and voice cloning technology and deep fakes does not mean I shouldn't practice my Sean Connery impression. I admit, I may be somewhat shaken by these recent developments but I'm not shttiered.
