Torgo!

Cool, thanks. That is a useful page. The reason I arrived at the setup I have is because I got RSI and first switched to a standing desk where my elbows were bent, which caused even more pain. I was forced to try different positions until I

Can you explain?

It should be even better as the monitor can be at eye level and the keyboard and mouse can be at a comfortable height.

I've been standing since 2007 and I love it. An external monitor and keyboard setup is important for me, since the laptop keyboard and monitor are too close together to be able to both type comfortably and see the screen with my neck i

I was able to build and flash my Due with this, very cool. The possibilities are really exciting!

Firefox OS includes over the air updates. You can also build your own and flash it if you want.

Check to see if you are on the 1.0.1 or the 1.1 channel. 1.1 is a lot better and has been getting very stable over the last month.

Yes edit: but you will have to wait for a later release (1.2 I think) for webrtc support to be able to make voice calls without a cell plan.

Yep. The Actor model that Erlang uses is exactly what I was referring to being missing from green thread libraries for other languages (C#, python with greenlet or generators, js with generators)

I agree, although I think callbacks are more like COME FROM than goto. You see a function being passed somewhere as a callback, and you know the block is going to execute at some point, but most of the time you have no idea what the codepat

Interesting, thanks!

What do you mean add threading support? Last time I used libev (I thought libuv was just libev plus Windows) it allowed creating multiple loops for use in multiple threads just fine. Do you mean adding the ability to move file descriptors a

I agree. The Mac was great at networking in 1993. Sure, MacTCP and MacPPP may have had strange configuration UI but localtalk and ethertalk Just Worked, and getting MacTCP and MacPPP working wasn't too hard.

It's totally possible to get a job in those areas without a degree.

1.1 is still the b2g18 branch, so no asm.js. 1.2 will be the version that pulls from master (gecko 26 I think?) and will have asm.js.

I can hear them.

It's been set to bing since the earliest versions of the browser app. I find it mildly amusing.

asm.js is already enabled on Firefox for Android nightly builds. We hope to have asm.js enabled in Firefox OS by the 1.2 timeframe (middle/end of 2013)

It's still a little early to be benchmarking the scheduler as it is currently undergoing a large rewrite, I believe.

You can see some es6 features that are already in v8 and accessible from node here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13351965/what-does-node-h... No generators yet but they are currently being worked on.

by fzzzy 14y ago
Yep. I wrote some code a few years ago that does this. I wrote it before I knew about task.js and should rewrite it using task.js, removing my handrolled clone of it. https://github.com/fzzzy/pavel.js There is also another slightly differ

WebRTC is not in gecko 18 which is the version Firefox OS will initially ship with (ffos versions 1.0.1 and 1.1). WebRTC support should make it into firefox os when we pull from mozilla central again to branch off version 1.2, but developme

Oh, also, if you see incorrect syntax or broken links in the manual, file bugs!

As Patrick said, Go was announced much later in the development lifecycle. Go was developed for quite a while before it was announced. At Mozilla, we do things a little differently. All of our projects are open and public from the very firs

Since they specifically mention compiling to normal js objects and not using the typedarray heap approach that is used by emscripten and asm.js, likely not asm.js.

None of those were from the ground up. Mozilla was based on the netscape codebase, firefox was based on the mozilla codebase, safari was based on the khtml codebase, and chrome was based on the webkit codebase. IE I'm not sure about, but it

Also, the browser app on Firefox OS is entirely javascript/html/css. No XUL in sight.

I don't see that those consequences follow, at all. I see a natural evolution from where we are now to a world where people own their own servers in the cloud and run all the software on them. Or, if you really don't want any data to go ove

Some of my coworkers made a firefox os app installation page that had both <marquee> and <blink>. At first I thought they were doing some crazy css animation thing to get scrolling, flashing text on the phone. Nope, just mar
