Samsung merged Bada into Tizen. Bada development was stopped. Tizen native apps are written using EFL. Qt supported as well. There are already a couple of Samsung cameras using Tizen. More devices are scheduled to 2014. https://d

Shame might be too hard, but I agree with OP. It's a general human interest piece that has little place in a dedicated technical news forum. Mind you, I feel similarly about most NSA submissions and while I would very much like to have

No need for a full blown electronics class. This subject falls under Switching Theory and can be covered thoroughly in the first (and often a single) semester. Starting with elementary set theory and boolean algebra, you go into the combina

There's nothing magical about a compiler. If the Go team decides to build a C compiler using Go that targets Go instead of machine code, they will. Worse case scenario the resulting code will be a GOTO littered state-machine with &#x27

Instead of regurgitating an old chestnut: "thermodynamic limits impose a cap to energy growth lest we cook ourselves. I’m not talking about global warming, CO2 build-up, etc. I’m talking about radiating the spent energy into space.&quo

I suspect most of your questions would be answered when the book is done; And probably in the "Next Steps" Appendix. Mean while, I personally suggest you should only implement the performance driven parts in C functions while glui

I've personally seen proper typesetting with Baskerville or Computer Modern using TeX changing "needs more work" draft essays into an "Excellent" mark without content changes. More so, just using paragraph indentati

Why? What reason could there possibly be that such well known, gaping holes in the standard have persisted for all these years and multiple standard revisions? C90, C99, C11 and now C14... If performance or backward compatibility is a conce

Honestly? The mailing list makes it sound like GCC is so convoluted it requires an entire front-end implementation as a test suit. I'm not saying it's true or anything. Just calling it like I see it...

Also note that regardless of where you live, it's illegal for employers to have an employee work off the clock, regardless of any stipulations in the personal contract, since there are tax issues involved.

It's not. That's the point. You can't get constructive about this comparison. I suppose the only exception is to go the Wayland path and push IPC outside the kernel into the user land. At least there you can reason redundancy

You shouldn't bring up Plan9 when discussing Linux. It's akin to bringing up Mozart's writing symphonies at the age of 8 to the proud mother of a somewhat disabled child that has finally mastered the potty at the tender age o

Oh. You mean the Plan 9 assembler... It's pretty good looking to me so I haven't really considered that an issue. I guess you're on the other side of the AT&T vs. Intel assembly fence... But just how much assembly are we

I don't see why nVidia can't release a semi open-source driver. For previous generations they can open up everything while the latest generation would come with an pre-compiled blob that can be disabled with a simple compile flag
