Linus Torvalds and Edsger Dijkstra.

qtguru:


Same here and Bjarne Strousoup

Enceladus:
Hmm Linus Torvalds and Terry A. Davis. Both are equally insane (RIP Terry).

SegFault:

Is Terry Davis the guy that made a small OS that they said had a mental issue.

Enceladus:


Yes, Temple OS.

CenturyCoder:
Elon Musk Nd Mark Zuckerberg

SegFault:

Okay. That guy Na boss oh, wrote an OS singlehandedly.

Enceladus:


Yes oo. He also wrote a compiler for his own language with similar performance to C.... He was a rare genius but the world literally did nothing to help him until he died ..

SegFault:

Forgot to add Dennis Ritchie too. I see you're a c++ guru, even your username says so. How good is qt for making desktop applications.

qtguru:


Nooo I am not a C++ guru o, but I use it, I used to use Qt for Desktop apps back then and also played with some OpenGL code in the past, I was always interested in Computer Emulation that was why I geared towards C++, Qt is good and have good documentation. But Desktop applications are dead, I wanted to do a native postman, but man must survive first. Qt Designer is nice too and the UI is fancy

SegFault:

oboi and this kind of person went to waste,oboi he's now one of my programming role models,because I'm also writing a compiler man, where do geniuses like this go to.

SegFault:

Why do you say desktop apps are dead?

qtguru:


Sorry I actually meant Native Desktop are dead not desktops, but desktop apps are in the decline
Unless you are working on a 3D Application, , what you will get is a packaged website in Electron created by lazy developers, Cloud solutions are the death of most desktop apps, they are easy to make more money from because they can own the software even while you pay for it. They can distribute new code easily

Sulele04:

Bro lets face it traditional desktop apps built with Qt, Swing, Wpf are crackable and they ruining businesses especially SaaP and Saas.
It is simple economics, why would I pay for an app when I could get it free(cracked).
The Ide I use jebrains rider was built with swing has a cracked version, infact all jetbrains products have been cracked.

Cloud system prevents all these illegal cracking.

In my opinion Electron js apps have the best Ui, vscode and postman are examples.
Maybe that's the edge it has over others.

qtguru:


The memory cost is a massive trade-off, and true native desktop apps are actually very crack-able, my only gripe with Electron is how slow it is and how much memory it consumes than it's native counterparts.

Afterlife prolly . You also must be a boss with your attempt .

SegFault:

You just reminded me of vscode, slow piece of shit. The bugs the last version came with were terrible, I prefer native.
