Jon Gjengset here implements TCP in rust. It's long, but it is very good https://youtu.be/bzja9fQWzdA

Both 5th and 6th editions of OpenGL Superbible use only Core Profile functionality. It's the best way to start OpenGL nowadays

The decision was already made, unless they can approve _and_ win a GR for overriding it (and I don't think they would win).

trying to make your non tech friends and family use diaspora is quite problematic. Its a chicken egg problem: social networks need people. people wont join if peoole is not already there

But , even the standard lua interpreter is faster then python

I dare to say that Lua is everything that javascript is trying to be.

IntelliJ is one of the only exceptions that come to mind. But, I would _LOVE_ if intelliJ used Qt instead of Java/Swing ...

There is a Scheme option for Racket/Chicken

I guess that liking or not, depends on how much you like the features, to forget/forgive/disregard it's drawbacks. For example, Python has drawbacks ... but, I do LOVE the language, is just such I joy to code in Python, that I just dont care that much about its problems. For me, is the same for C and Lua But, for C++, is the oposite. I do like some of its features, but, overall, I really hate the language. Too much headaches and pitfalls. And it's the same for javascript. But, hey, it's a personal opinion. I do really respect brendan eich as a developer, even lot liking javascript.

It seems that amazon is shipping chromecasts to UK . Give it a try

actually, despite its reputation as a bad opensource citizen, NVIDIA proprietary drives are the best for linux gaming. Their performance are on par with windows.

Google should release a appliance with Docs and Drive. Suddenly, one of the biggest problems with Docs (for a lot of companies) will go away, because their documents are not being stored outside their infrastructure anymore .

I don't think so. It will be probably based on Ubuntu LTS

They would not have more leverage then Google does . Actually, it's worse, as Android is way bigger them both of them (together). I guess one of the only hopes is that intel can get up with an option for arm socs, as they are pretty good opensource citizens.

why dont you install another WM? I do use a ubuntu vm for coding at work, bit I use i3 instead of unity.

I run stock 4.1 until last week, when CM 10.1 went stable. When I say support, I mean continue to get the later versions (nexus s stopped at JB 4.1) .

I hope for that. It means that they could support my nexus S again.

its not about writing new code in C. Its about learning how you prefered language is implemented. Learn your tools , its really important.

I do recomend SICP .

I have to agree. I did love nokia devices (and they are still great, except for the OS) . Now Sony... :(

The sad part is that you will, and some more people will to, but, the mass, will not, because they don't care. If they did, they would not accept ms closed format instead of odt, they would not accept facebook, and would w3c would not create drm extensions as 'open standars' . That's what's sad.

AirDroid is a _very_ nice piece of software.

i3 is the best tiling wm I've ever used.

Well, I do develop C++ with Emacs, and I don't miss VS a single day. And you can 'Go to definition', 'find callers', etc, with other editors (Emacs, Sublime, SourceInsight, etc) ...

Or unreliable. I live at Brazil, and 3G connection here is awful, everywhere !

I don't see anything broken. I send email , people receive emails . Just Works (tm) !

I'm starting to think that they don't kill it, just because they can't . But if they had the chance ... :/

Just like reader, right ?

In Sim City case, part of the simulation is run at their servers. Even while playing a private region, lost of aspects of the simulation are affected by the 'world' (other players). So, it´s not _just_ a matter of DRM: online is part of the game (unfortunately). The point is: did the developers decided to do it that way _because_ EA made online DRM mandatory for them, or they did think this way since t=0 ? We´ll probably never know.

Go does generate a _LOT_ less garbage then Java, you can control the layout of your structures. That why its gc has less impact on performance then the JVM´s one.
