Seems like there's a need for a cloud infrastructure/language independent packaging format, to build a "github of installable applications" Maybe container images that can also be used as bootable images?

What's the point of a car that drives itself if there is nothing to read while you're driving? I was seriously looking forward to that - or even a text to speech app that reads Reader feeds.

Any idea what is going on with the progressive Git protocol, I know there was some discussion on the git devel lists but I'm having trouble finding it. (Essentially it's a protocol based on fast-import to allow access a remote repository wi

Possibly even instant offline mocking, somewhat like meteor but without the need for a server.

I think the real reason user numbers haven't grown as rapidly as expected could be the difficulty introducing it to a new user. I've tried to explain how powerful it is, how it centrally gathers so many diverse publications, how it gives a

And both get translated into native code by V8 at runtime.

I would imagine it could start by eliminating bionic, which seeems designed primarily to keep hardware OEMs happy that everything is under a weak (BSD style) license. ChromiumOS uses a standard Linux libc (probably glibc) and is more compat

Can you be more specific? There is no reason for Chrome to use the platform WebView on any Android version supporting loading native libraries. Are there OpenGL limitations or something else blocking Chrome from running on 2.3?

The really interesting product/service would be a datastore and RSS consumer like GR API is. I think a lot of competitors spend time working on the UI and miss the power that is behind it. (I would include Google in this list, even if they

Well for the last week I've been doing development using a Google ARM Chromebook (249 USD). I'm using a dedicated server (about 60USD from Ubiquity Servers), but I also have a couple of VPSs, including a 5 USD one from 2host. I'm using tmux

It would be interesting to see Rust used in Android in some of the parts that are now C or C++.

Adding to the disappointment, but I was hoping to see a really good example of using D3 for tabular data, updated in real time from JS (such as from Ember) without re-rendering the entire DIV.

I'm assuming that these drivers are userspace drivers, whatever interface they have with the kernel is another problem. The presence of SurfaceFlinger in these decisions seems to be derived from some speculation in an article, not based on

I wonder how Progressive solved that problem with their OBD II + Qualcomm MSM device.

by tmzt 14y ago
Though if there is a well defined and stable driver ABI compatibility shouldn't really be a problem.

You might consider something like Vala (valac), which produces glib/gobject c code from a c# like syntax.

While there is quite a deal of information on integrating ember-data with rails, there is much less on integrating it with other server-side MVC/REST frameworks. This means that using it with another framework often means modifying that int

Ah yes, NGLayout :) And of course moving from XPCOM to a more direct smart pointer implementation, and various other stages along the way.

Unfortunately it's a repeat of the Windows Mobile/CE debacle, the enthusiast crowd that makes your product acceptable to the general computing public is treated with apathy bordering on hostility. They shipped a Windows NT-based system th

But it's rather unlikely that the entire Blackberry operating environment using it does, which is what is really being compared here.

I wonder why they don't market that more widely, I was looking for refills around a display and couldn't find them. There was nothing about where or how to get a canister that I could find on the outer packaging.

I couldn't figure out if it was about the typeface or if somebody slapped two Asus touchscreen panels together with a RaspberryPI.

Maybe a developer portal page linking to the desktop simulator download? This would feel more "official" and "complete" than a wiki page, or grabbing a nightly from FTP. Android's success was the way it brought in early developers and enthu

ember-rest and ember-resource are two much simpler alternatives. However, neither has the ambition or potential power of ember-data. Transactions are becoming better defined, it's possible to attach a model to a transaction much like you sa

There is also no reason that private keys have to be loaded in the same process (or even the sandbox) when an ssh agent is used.

There was a Java port of X posted here a few days ago, as well as a port of X.org that I did a couple of years ago. Complete source is here ( http://github.com/tmzt/androix ) but building X can be somewhat tricky. I have also posted an apk

Xeyes with a touchscreen doesn't work so well, you have to touch the screen before it tracks.
