this is really great news. i like pocket integration on kobo aura one. i hope they keep making that integration improvements further.

pretty nice. i like the code in the article, seems much cleaner to look at different functions for different arch. This will come handy during code maintenance.

ok, i have been also looking into concurrent vectors lately to get something like this running between two threads.

Someone know or point here to a header only implementation of vector/queue with locks and really simple code with explanation ? Something written as beautifully as herb sutter's or scott meyers examples, They are easy code to play around and understand :)

*An implementation without vendor concurrent library. Looking for an implementation on Linux/ARM. Although i do have access to libpthread threads and locks.

Modern C [pdf] 10 years ago

Hi, is there a epub version of this book? The pdf format is painful to read.

so it compiles c++ to webassembly syntax using empscripten compiler. what js has to do with webassembly? Is the idea is same with js? i.e. compiler js code to webassembly.

noob here on web assembly.

Interesting.

But what are the available ubuntu UI components devs have at their hand as of today? Is it based on unity 7 or ubuntu mobile components?

How different it is for a dev from developing an electron based app on ubuntu.

ABI vs. API (2004) 10 years ago

how different is ABI from XPCOM? Wasn't xpcom had the same goals to provide binary compatibility?

ah....the description is ambiguous then. Embed a browser in another application isn't very clear either. Is Servo like framework where devs can build apps on top (something on electron line).

Or is it really about embedding browser inside your application. That one can do today with QT framework where you can embed a browser inside your application. But QT itself moved from Qt WebKit to Qt WebEngine. So, 'embed a browser' in your application sounds old to me.

"Servo is a modern, high-performance browser engine being developed for application and embedded use."

Is embedded devices one of the goals around Servo? Do Servo have any embedded specific design goals? I'm interested to know which parts in Servo targets to embedded use. I can see that page says Android builds are coming soon. i guess that explains it.

so in the end, a recruiting problem is solved bya software company, now could be named as the big L. wondering what happened to all those people who studied Human Resource as a management branch and what are they doing now when whole recruiting thing is being run by bunch of sw engineers sitting in silicon valley and crunching big data.

F.lux has nothing to do with GPU or shader. Its an application which tweeks display temperature controls. All modern OS provides such interface, on Linux, its x server extension, on Windows its GDI interface. So, its an application that uses the OS interface, that doesn't mean that it has to be made part of OS. At OS level, you provide functionality of underlying hardware but don't decide policies or features. f.lux is a feature not a functionality to display.
