As far as I know you are correct. Mozilla released the Audio Data API and produced a number of demos based on that. A W3C group was formed to work on Web Audio standardisation and in that group Google announced the work on their API. Mozill

Mega uses features from a draft W3C spec called "file-system-api": http://www.w3.org/TR/file-system-api/ Chrome supports this, Firefox does not. See my comments in the Mozilla bugzilla bug about this: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bu

The Transterpreter VM was ported to RCX if I recall correctly. It uses Occam-pi for the development language: http://transterpreter.org/ Not Go, but go-like.

> For example, Firefox and Chrome have different Audio APIs. How that's standard? This came about because both browsers implemented an experimental audio API to start discussion on what an audio API should look like. Since then a W3C gr

What limitations are those? Windows Phone 8 allows native code which was a stumbling block in WP 7.

Rust may be more successful but at this time ATS is a better C replacement. Mainly because Rust is currently tied to a runtime and garbage collector. But also because ATS has better features for describing the API boundaries when calling in

Here's an example of how ATS makes a C API safer, similar to the API in the K&R example (it deals with memory/string copying): http://www.bluishcoder.co.nz/2012/08/30/safer-handling-of-c-... ATS provides all the low level hackery that

If you start off treating ATS like an ML variant interfacing with C without using any of the type annotations for safety you can go far. Then you can tighten the types up for safety as you get more experienced or find you need it. You could

It's a pity ATS doesn't get more attention in the "Systems programming language" field. It can call into C, be called from C, provides a powerful type system, and can be used to write very low level code. I've written a few posts about how

Do you have any code examples of where this is used that I can look at? Like nullc my interest is in the area of types being used to enforce contracts and safetly (hence my interest in the ATS language). Typesafe was my initial interest in

Support for HTML's playbackRate API was landed a few weeks back. See bug 495040 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=495040 This means that sites that control playback speed using the HTML media API should work.

They will be enabled by default as they are working. We already have the issue of some platforms having it and others not. Some Android devices have it with Firefox for Android and some don't for example. Linux distro's could enable the GSt

We are implementing support on desktop using OS frameworks where we can. So far we have: - support for Linux via GStreamer landed but not built by default. It needs a bit more work. - support for Windows 7 and above which the OP post is abo

Firefox on Linux has GStreamer but it's turned off at build time. Developers can build with it to test it. At some point it'll be enabled by default, or distros can enable it for their builds, to get H.264 support.

by doublec 14y ago
GStreamer isn't used on Firefox OS. We use libstagefright and vendor supplied binaries for decoding.
287.
by doublec 14y ago
Firefox OS already has hardware H.264 decoding support. We use the Android libstagefright library and the phone vendor provides the hardware decoders.

Inferno and Plan 9 make it easy to share resources (cpu, disk, etc) and make them appear as if they were local. For example, sharing resources on a phone running inferno: http://www.bluishcoder.co.nz/2012/11/07/sharing-computer-and...

Inferno [1] can run hosted and gives a lot of the Plan 9 feel. You might find it useful if you're wanting to try it out. It might even run on your phone [2]. [1] http://www.vitanuova.com/inferno/ [2] http://www.bluishcoder.co.nz/2012/06/

There are plenty of forks running already. There's "litecoin", a fork that changes the proof of work algorithm to scrypt in an attempt to make GPU's less useful for mining. There's "PPCoin", a fork that adds "Proof of Stake" alongside "Proo

I've used ATS a fair bit in real programs. The back end of my bitcoin mining pool is written in ATS and handles a reasonable load. I've also used ATS in other projects and am happy to answer questions you might have. Contact details at the

It's like a teacher telling a class "Pick a number between 1 and 1000". If they pick the same number as the teacher, they win. If more than one picks the winning number, the first person to get it to the teacher wins. There's no "many sums

There is no such central server. The difficulty is adjusted using an algorithm that all the bitcoin clients implement. This looks at the generation times of the last 2,016 blocks and works out from that if difficulty needs to be higher or l

Metasploit runs on other phones too. The Nokia N900 for example. The PwnPhone ( http://pwnieexpress.com/products/pwnphone ) is a commercial supported version of packaged tools for the N900 but the tools can be installed separately.
