Bummer, anyone have good alternatives?


Tkinter


There's just one giant problem with tkinter, it is completely inaccessible. That means that blind people can not use your apps at all if you use tkinter. I have used PySimpleGUIWx in the last years for a youtube client for exactly these people, but the wx port seams to have been neglected over the last years any way so won't pay them.


That's a tiny problem, not a giant one. Blind people are a tiny % of the population.


pyside


You're missing out, pinecil is the best soldering iron I've ever used. I really like that it automatically turns off based on the accelerometer input when you set it down


Tell management who to fire and who to outsource


I also believe in objective morality, I believe forcing your subjective beliefs on other people is immoral. Therefore in my system you are immoral.


>One concern is supply chain

Esp32 is available at every major Western distributor (digikey mouser etc) this hasn't been a real concern for many years


Sensational nonsense, OSHpark does quick turn custom pcbs for cheap in the US


You can buy wireless charging modules that plug into the USB port and are hidden between the case and phone


>This is just how normal, healthy business goes

17% layoffs is healthy? No thanks


Pretending racial disparities doesn't exist (particularly in tech) doesn't do any favors either.


Acting like race determines everything isn't exactly the healthiest strategy either.

Ultimately we're discussing assuming someone is a racist because they said something negative about a person of a different race. That assumption is also a racial stereotype.


No, there's two levels to this.

The dickishness/meanness of singling someone out by name in a public article on the Internet, which is what the comment here was primarily about.

And then the second level, which the commenter deliberately downplayed as a minor second point (but people here jumped on it...) that said person is a minority, so it makes one extra-suspicious about motives.

So I'm not sure where you got this "acting like race is about everything" point, because that wasn't in the comment.


Let’s just never criticize anyone who isn’t white, and treat them like children. Racism is solved!


It's pretty unusual to publically throw someone under the bus by name like this in a professional name.

Given it's an unusual situation, people are reflecting on what makes this allegedly incompetent VP different from other incompetent VPs who aren't called out like this?


What an amazing argument! So clever! You really got me there!


Yes, they really did get you there. Things can be about things other than race, though you wouldn't be able to tell based on this comment thread.


I'm not pretending anything like that. I assume good faith on the part of individuals (intentional word choice), because individuals are not systems or institutions and they really do tend to be decent and well-intentioned.


Do you mean racial disparities in hiring or in performance?


I don't find that number scary or surprising... I'm less likely to overhear racial slurs being thrown around in casual conversation now compared to the past, some selfcensorship is good

Not everyone thinks political correctness is bad
