Having written an HTTP server+proxy recently, I haven't been super impressed with HTTP/2 so far. There is some good in it (basically everything I'm not mentioning), but also a lot of bad. First, Firefox (and some others) are

I can't speak for everyone, but I switched my website and local PCs over to FreeBSD. In my case, after having suffered through years of broken audio from Lennart Poettering's previous grand experiment (and his attitude toward detr

On the bright side ... there's a very concerted effort in the Linux world to transform the OS into something completely different; simplified for casual users, designed more for tablets and desktops, less modular, and non-portable. sys

About the same. It wouldn't detect my SATA HDDs on a GA-945GCM-S2C board (no issues with that on Windows/OSX-Hackintosh/Debian/FreeBSD), had to use USB-HDD to install. Only option for my nVidia graphics was the nv driver

Thanks for the guide. Serious question, say I were to do a clean install of Jessie. I would use Xfce with either LightDM or no DM, or I might choose to set up a VPS that obviously won't even need Xorg. Is there a way during installatio

Debian has always seemed to be about choice. You can even run it (for now, at least) on the FreeBSD kernel if you so choose. Obviously they are going to have to require systemd for Gnome 3.14+, but I see no reason not to allow installing a

I must not have explained it well enough. Take std::string. It is missing majorly useful functions that exist in other languages, such as trim, transform, split/explode/tokenize, replace-by-string (std::string is replace-by-length

Oh, wow. I know most people dislike C++ language extensions, given how complex the language already is. But as a library author, I truly believe this is the most powerful and useful addition we can add to the language now. I've been wa

Oh wow, the drawing mechanism is really satisfying. Too bad about not supporting 漢字. The only half-decent IME pad is on Windows. Online ones (kanji.sljfaq.org) and Xorg ones (ibus-mozc) are just horrendously bad at detection. I usually have

One of the most intensely frustrating things to me about doctors is the way they treat anyone explaining something not immediately diagnosable as though the patients are pathological liars or hypochondriacs. I don't care if there are a

I'm somewhat interested in the tools, to see how the internet would route around the problem. One idea would be to make a browser that can 'leech' off sites that paid for fast lanes. Say, you store your data onto Google Drive

Surely the Chrome extension is also an emulator, albeit a much faster one. Just seems like a large opportunity to create and sell the Parallels equivalent for Android, given the buzz this seems to be creating. Edit: looks like that is done

Can anyone explain how this differs from using an Android emulator? ( http://developer.android.com/tools/help/emulator.html ) Is it a matter of features, speed, or convenience? Obviously, all of those can be overcom

Ultima Online was just a nightmare. They constantly released major protocol changes with each new patch, and those were pushed out on an almost weekly basis. It was still really fun though to play as a GM on your own little personal serve

I haven't had any issues so far using four drives mirrored on ZFS, but the ECC issue certainly worries me. I'd love to run ECC RAM, but I'd have to buy a much more expensive processor, a much more expensive mainboard, and a

So it sounds like they are okay with binary kernel modules, just not built-in to the base kernel. FreeBSD manages to do ZFS as a kernel module (plus another module for Open Solaris abstractions) quite successfully. Although it has somewhat

Thanks, the is_compatible test certainly gave me a good bit of trouble. Ideally you'd want to do enable_if< conditionA || conditionB >, but of course if one of the conditions fails to evaluate, the overload is ignored. So you hav

By ambiguous, I mean that operator|'s precedence is very different than operator.'s (std::operator<< has similar issues); which could lead to surprises if you don't have the precedence tables memorized. operator. is at

I'd really like it if they added D's uniform function call syntax to C++ ( http://www.drdobbs.com/cpp/uniform-function-call-syntax/2327... ). Then this code could be: auto r = numbers().where([](int

A similar situation happened to me, but obviously on a smaller scale. I added support for using pixel shaders on emulated video game output, but rather than have separate files for the vertex and fragment shaders, I put the pair into an XML

Seems like that would prevent small string optimization (a union of a small char array and the heap char pointer.) That lets me store about 85% of the strings in my assembler without any heap allocation, and is a huge win in my book.

Just a forewarning: that library, like most C cooperative threading libraries, is using ucontext. ucontext is unbearably slow, to the point where it's just as fast to use real threads and mutexes, even on a single-core system. There is

Yep, I gave up on naming things. I tried to use really creative names as is common in the Linux world (Ristretto, Amarok, Brasero, Thunar, etc), but it drove me up the wall (I once named a project "xkas", ugh.) It's so hard t
