Does anyone know of a good alternative to implement a waitlist for restaurants that inst yelp? Plenty of small restaurants use it because it's easy and texts customers about their position in line.

UWP is actually pretty easy to use and looks great & native on Windows.


UWP is hardly consistent. Just as a quick example, the context menu in the start menu is slightly different from the context menu for the task bar, which are both very different from the context menu(s!) which appear in the Windows Mail app. Or how the context menu in the start menu can exit the bounds of the start menu, but most popups/menus in UWP apps are fully bound to their parents.


Yes Windows framework #935 has actually turned out to be pretty good.


It's pretty hard and has a lot of problems. It's definitely not as easy as css and doesn't have as many options for styling. Sometimes, when you change one property, 5 other unrelated properties will change as well, and you need to manually set them. CSS is much easier to get a consistent theme for an application.


I agree, teens dont use facebook. But in College, everything changes. Its the easiest platform to coordinate events across hundreds of people you might not even know. Theres just a bunch of cases that no other platform covers, like finding clubs and events, promoting your party, or even selling donuts to fundraise. It does everything on one platform that everyone has. We don't like facebook, but there is simply no alternative.


yup. Office is literally 5 minutes away from from Qualcomm, so no problems with the commute, and I'm sure they would be willing to pay much more than Qualcomm. Only thing is the patents. Qualcomms real value is in the crazy amount of R&D they do, and the patents they have to show for it.


I'm a sophomore in college right now. A couple of my friends chose to do Pre-med, and I'm majoring in CS. Nearly everyone in my CS classes will graduate with the degree, and get offers as software engineers. However, the people doing Pre-med are stressing like crazy, taking nearly double the amount of classes I am, and still might not get into medical school. And don't forget residency after that. Obviously the debt from 8 years of school is going to be much more, not to mention the emotional impact of all that stress and school.


I noticed something when I graduated a few years ago that only became more true as I started looking at hiring new graduates. People that would have normally gone the PreMed/PreLaw/Investment Banking route are changing majors half-way to CS. The students changed from easygoing hacker types to hyper-competitive types.


Yea but after they become a doctor, their license essentially acts as a gatekeeper for the rest of their life. Anyone can be a "Software Engineer", and this is not counting the ageism in software and the continual need to update your skill set for the rest of your life.


Not even heavy tasks. Even just installing packages and launching applications is just so much quicker after I upgraded my thinkpad to an NVME drive.
