Unfortunately the most important features weren't added. Concepts, modules, reflection and concurrency... those would actually fixed almost all the things, where c++ is lacking now. Hope those will get into the next standard at least.
Watt-hour is a unit of energy, not power, so the information doesn't make a sense. Maybe the author wanted to say "rover can get up to 500 watts out of his solar panels" or "It can get 500 watt-hours of energy per day"?
That means it is actually pretty good summary. Everybody knows that we need super strong threads to build space elevator so it is not worth mentioning. The rest, however, is pretty goddamn interesting and relevant. I did a little bit of research and couldn't find much more relevant information about the discovery than it is written in this summary.
Qt by default uses native widgets wherever possible
Not true. Qt widgets appear to be native, but in fact they are not (but your post is proof that they made quite a good job with the appearance). This is a bit of problem on macos where Qt has some issues with appearance (or at least used to have).
Here you have opinion of a former loud GW critic that actually looked at the scientific evidence: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v... . However feel free to stay ignorant.
I think that Mesa is necessary. I'm developing UI in QtQuick2 and it does only work with OpenGL 2 and above. Since there are platforms that don't support OpenGL 2 I have to have fallback to software rendered graphic. Mesa saves the day. If there was no Mesa, I'd be forced not to use QtQuick2 and stick to Qt widgets, which are not really designed to run well on mobile devices. And for the record, I do think, that QtQuick2 is the future of Gui development.
In this thread: http://meta.slashdot.org/story... it is pretty obvious, that not only the "fuck beta" people are pissed. In that thread there were many great comments and suggestions to Dice, what is bad with beta and how should they improve it. After zero effort to improve anything, some of the very skilled people stopped to complain and started to do something about it and other people joined them on Soylentnews.
Nowadays, I can assure you, that there is almost no topic on Slashdot that doesn't have some "fuck beta" comments, on Soylentnews there are almost zero "fuck beta" comments and there is also pretty on topic discussion. Surely, it isn't perfect yet, but even today, Soylentnews has better discussion than/.
How is it possible, that this post was modded Funny? Slashdot is exactly what this post describes. Slashdot is mainly great because of great comments and well done comment rating system.
I don't mean to create flame war or something, but seriously, what aspects of Chrome are so good that Firefox can't match them? It used to be speed, but nowadays I would say that both browsers are pretty fast. In number of extensions, Firefox is the clear leader, so what is the reason?
There is a big difference. If the theories we know are correct, then FTL information transmission can violate causality. c isn't just a speed limit which we are "not yet able to beat", its violation would violate basic principles of our existence.
I think the drop was significantly because of Youtube. It was at night, when most people are just relaxing and everybody today watches YT in HD, which is quite a lot of data per second.
USA: "All countries, ok, we spy on you, but don't criticize us, you do that too"
France: "Hey, that is unacceptable you must stop"
USA: "Shut up France, we highly recommend you that"
France: "YOU HAVE TO STOP!!! THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE"
USA: "NSA, could you give us some juicy information about France so they don't bitch about it so loud?"
NSA: "Oh yes, here you are."
It has been possible for some time via necessitas. Now they only added it to the official package. Most Qt apps are written on desktop using QtWidgets. When you are developing for mobile devices, you should use QtQuick. QtWidgets aren't designed for mobile devices.
It is a bit late, but it is not too late. There is still no alternative to this. I think Qt will eventually become kind of standard for cross platform mobile development.
That is not necessarily an issue. If you can produce cheap energy somewhere, but can not use it immediately, you can store it via this technology into something useful. The energy doesn't have to be from the sun.
This might seem trivial, but I think it is not. This actually describes how the crowd mentality works, how predictable it is and I think more interesting things are in the study. This is NOT waste of time.
Despite I agree with you pretty much, I have to say something against the idea of Windows being closely coordinated and not hacked together with praying it will work. This is a confession of one of the windows kernel developers. It almost made me cry.

Weather is bad, launch has been aborted. Tomorrow is the next chance (IIRC).
Yes. Exactly.

Obligatory: Have you tried SolentNews ? The server is already quite mature and the community there is also very good.

QtQuick2 requires OpenGL. I didn't say I'm using OpenGL directly. However there is Qt3D and QtQuick3D that you might have a look at http://doc-snapshot.qt-project... http://doc.qt.digia.com/qt-qui... .
As for the graphs, there are some commercial graphs supplied by digia http://blog.qt.digia.com/blog/... or KDAB http://www.kdab.com/kdab-produ... or freely available QWT http://qwt.sourceforge.net/ .

Lol, this one should have been modded funny.

That is the common and quite annoying misconception. The #45333961 says it exactly.
