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.

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.

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.
