I'm on this project where we want to do #realtime #radar but are sort of starting with nothing (apart from world-class radar transmitters, receivers and expertise...)

One very smart but non-#software person wrote a bunch of good #signalprocessing #code and some "gets the job done" #gui code

Or it did until we went higher bandwidth

Last week I rewrote all the non-sigproc parts into #pyqt and #pyqtgraph. Today I benchmarked both.

Exactly the same speed....except pyqtgraph is

THREE ORDERS OF MAGNITUDE

faster than #matplotlib

#python peeps, please hear me. mpl has its place and uses. High data rate animated displays is not that place.

PyQt is Qt’s Python binding released under GPL/commercial licensing by Riverbank Computing, while PySide (Qt for Python) is the officially supported binding from The Qt Company with LGPL licensing that is generally more permissive for proprietary apps.

Did you know that Natron supports load themes using a QSS file?

A QSS file is a Qt Style Sheet file used in software development with the Qt framework to customize the appearance of user interface (UI) widgets. It is essentially a text file containing CSS-like code that defines colors, fonts, borders, margins, and other visual properties of application components.

It's one of THOSE days

I overslept by an hour. The tuxedo #cat had to use his little paws to roll me out of bed. (He was hungry but worse I was not On Schedule, something he cares about a LOT)

But also I only had to get up early because #IT made some change on my laptop that prevents me from logging in to #wfh

When I got here, I found that a request I put in to unlock an unrelated account on a different network had ALSO not been done. But at least the ticket is closed!

And the thing I have to work on is annoying. A project I definitely want to be on needed a display. I made one in #python #pyqt #pyqtgraph.

Oh, they meant a #web #app. OK, so I redesigned the backend to both would work.

Everyone likes THAT except for some external guy who AFAICT hasn't done any actual work on this project. The only reason his opinion matters is that he's the one actually deploying the app...?

And instead of modifying the code to be how he wants it he wrote a sample app for ME to follow?

And I don't think that's even going to work. #plotly needs a session ID to get persistent zoom and some other things right. This guy's design means everyone has to share a session ID. I explained this to him.

So the outcome of starting from his code is either that I'll be proved wrong or I'll have wasted a day proving HIM wrong. Two wonderful possibilities.
