This is very similar to HPX, the general purpose C++ runtime system for parallel and distributed applications by the Stellar Group - https://github.com/STEllAR-GROUP/hpx.
I recently saw the excellent video presentation by Hartmut Kaiser on this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xyztU__yys and a lot of concepts in folly futures are quite similar. However the most striking thing in HPX was that all the building blocks are serializable, and the presenter mentioned that it is so because you could serialize and move a thread to a different machine and run it there.
The discussion between Andrei Alexandrescu (Facebook) and Ian Lance Taylor (Google) is highly intellectual, especially the part about how each language addresses concurrency.
This really removes any hurdle I might have of inspecting the assembly code due to sheer laziness of opening up my Visual Studio and start debugging. Awesome work. If you add some type of interactivity to the generated assembly, it can be made more visual.
It appears that Apple has been deciding to partner Amazon in order best Google's Play strategy. I say this as Amazon Prime Videos is now available to be consumed on iPad officially. Also both these developments have taken place after Google launched the Nexus 7. Maybe the talks have been going on for a long time, but I would say this definitely pushed them into making a decision.
It wasn't like this but I would say my start was quite similar. I had just heard/read people being so productive with Vim and I always wanted to start but never could take the jump.
One time I had to do a college project in a language I had not used before, JESS (JRE cousin of CLIPS). Though its similar to Scheme in which I had coded a few years before, it has a few of its own syntactic idioms. I planned to do the project in VIM. As there was no baggage of using JESS with any IDE before, there was no such thing as a hindrance or inhibition which I used to have while trying to using VIM for coding C/C++, etc.
Within the next 2-3 weeks I learned the basics and a few intermediate use-cases of VIM (refactoring using registers, etc...). After finishing the project, I shifted to code in C/C++ using VIM has my primary editor and have never looked back since. I basically piggybacked my experience with VIM in JESS and the it took less than a day to translate all that and use it with C/C++ code :)
With regards to ViEMU, my use case is to open the same file in both VIM and Visual Studio quite sometimes as they both can detect changes made to the file outside of the editor. So far its worked without any issues :)
Wow !! As a movie buff myself I think I'll be vising you site almost everyday now. This is what I used to do before:
- Go to www.imdb.com
- Click on 'See more movie showtimes' at the right.
- On the next page, click on the 'Favorites' tab to choose a theater.
- Go to maps.google.com and plan the route to the theater.
This is definitely going to save me at least a few hours every week while I check which movie is playing at what location.
Notepad++ is one of the fastest and the best editors out there.
Products like these show that over a given period of time, people being to notice the subtle differences between the speed of simple things, like the time taken for the context menu to appear, or the drop-down for word completion to appear. This is primarily why my use of IDEs has decreased over time. It just takes a little too long for doing stuff in them, and hinders your natural flow.
By the way, their word completion (Settings -> Preferences -> Backup/Auto-completion -> Word Completion) is simply their killer feature and has spoiled me for any other editors.

http://www.sendgrid.com/ which provides email services to a lot of clients perhaps uses this by default. I don't think people in this business look at it as an attack. Websites use various techniques to track people's activities, and this is just another one of them.
I don't think he can be blamed too much though. As per the bug filed here - https://github.com/rails/rails/issues/5228, the bug was being closed by others after being given a cursory look, and was being reopened again for consideration. Maybe a little immature, but there was a mild provocation.
I would like to know something here. Since there is only 1 stack for a pThread and the stack state is swapped on a context switch for a co-routine within a pThread, wouldn't this be quite expensive if there are a lot of variables on stack for that co-routine? Or is the swapping being carried out in a different manner, eg. caching, pre-allocated stacks, etc..
