@J-Hilk said in What the heck do they mean by "private api"?:

Turns out, there Art some modules that use private apple apis
For example QWebEngine

And that status can change for other modules if Apple decides to make some things private as well. Apparently some things were in the public APIs and then put into private APIs for some specific reasons.

What you are wanting is a way to treat your data as voxels (3D pixels). You could use QSGGeometryNode to treat each image as a slice and create a stacked view that can be rotated inside a QQuickItem. However, I am not sure how efficient that will be compared to a native 3D rendering. What are the dimensions of the image? Are there medical rendering libraries out there for this kind of data?

Thanks @J-Hilk for fixing that :)

com0com and com2tcp rock! Used those a lot in the past.

@CroCo since webassambly is rather new (2017) I expect c++ to move up in that list in the coming years :)

@aha_1980 said in Drive-by Qt contributions:

I'd say: Create bugreports, and if you have a fix attach it there. In the worst case (your patch is not accepted)

I would be fine with patches not being accepted for one reason or another. My problem is not that. Ok, I wasn't going to point any specific issues because that's not what this is about, but for the sake of example take a look here: QTBUG-76585

2 days just to assign priority... eh, ok, maybe it was weekend or busy week, fine... but, it's been since June and the only thing that happened to that item was it changed assignee 3 times and workflow version (whatever that is). So at least 3 people looked at it.
I mean the thing is two lines, has attached example and a ready to merge patch... come on... it's not a giant multiplatform change that requires some sort of elaborate testing scheme or anything. It's practically a hello world of what a bugfix and a drive-by contribution is. There has to be a way to do this sort of thing faster.

I was just about to express my "yes, but"s to every one of those, but then I realized I'm just old and grumpy :)
Keep the good vibes flowing and have an enjoyable weekend.

will probably seek help with Qt somewhere else

Well, for once, the text is pretty clear.

I would say that due to python being a default install in many *nix based platforms is one reason. If Qt is available then it is pretty simple to put together dialogs and scripts for doing common tasks. Python is the glue language. The major alternative for guis in Python wxpython. I have used both and Qt is a much richer system for guis.

@jarggoh

Maybe I'll create a mirror of https://doc.qt.io/QtOPCUA/ and version it myself.. [SOLVED]

While we're in The Lounge... how exactly do you do that?

Can you rephrase the question? I have no idea what you mean. You are making your own QML plugin, right? And hitting some versioning issue?

Nice ones!.. thanks a lot ...

Hi,

Did you already read the Qt Network Module documentation ?

Just keep it dude :P

Is er al zoiets? Ik wil graag mensen leren kennen in Nederland die bezig zijn met Qt.

codereview

I would suggest CodeReview on Stack Exchange. I have submitted code there and the comments and criticism are helpful.

@kshegunov said in Things you hear about computing... Please share your experiences...:

My favourite is: "The computer's wrong" (in regards to computation)

In all fairness your first point, has some basis in fact.
As one N. Wirth stated: 'Software is getting slower more rapidly than hardware becomes faster.'

Or, as someone else put it so well: "what Santa Clara giveth, Redmond taketh away."

Of course, this isn't directly applicable to the Linux folks in the audience, but I'm sure they have a parallel experience...
