Developing for the console seems really harsh. Somewhat related, an indie company managed to get a fighting game out on PSN and XBLA. It just got an update on PS3, but it can't get updated for Xbox because the patch is bigger than 4MB. [1]

Oddly, Windows 7 Pro does have DVD support out of the box.

Wayland can eventually fill the role on Linux perhaps. X11 is built to run on many more operating systems. This is my main issue with Wayland. Whence portability?

Wayland isn't going to replace X11, it's going to be an alternative to X11.

Not mentioned among the major features: Windows builds have finally moved to Visual Studio 2010.

Glad to hear this. Digia has treated Qt very good.

I'm not a fan of KDE, but I do like Qt. Qt seems to suffer from kitchen sink syndrome, but the core GUI API is well designed. If someone did for Qt what XFCE/LXDE did for GTK+, I think it could catch on.

Sounds about right. I think a lot of developers buy a MacBook with the intention of dual booting to Linux, but end up just sticking with OSX.

Yes, Qt still uses moc. I leave it up to you to decide if that's a good thing or a bad thing.

I found it very hard to read this. The whole time my brain kept getting distracted by how bad the fonts look.

Whoa wait, we are really supposed to replace X with something that only works on Linux? Way to give BSD guys the middle finger.

I'm not C++ savvy, but I know from reading Google's C++ style guide that they also disable exceptions. The guide leaves it at that and doesn't say anything more about how to deal with errors. Does anyone here know how these big Google C++ c

I'm surprised they think developers would be interested in this. Having worked with Dell in IT, you couldn't pay me to use anything they put their name on. Dell have a bad reputation in both hardware and peopleware, and it's well deserved.

There are some Good Parts to C99/C11, most of them adopted from Unix and Plan 9. Not surprisingly, most of the bad parts are all inventions. Read the link to dmr's comment again. His argument wasn't so much that noalias was specified incorr

Unlike ICC, MinGW's gcc.exe is not a drop in replacement for cl.exe. It's a separate compilation environment. The headers are different and often out of date compared to the Windows SDK. Microsoft extensions are not supported so it chokes o

Good for Microsoft. If they think something is standardized garbage then they shouldn't have to use it. C99 and C11 look like mutants compared to C89. Too many bad design decisions made by a group of people who weren't involved with the ini

Thanks. Those specific complaints from the link seemed more like quality of implementation issues of typical ECMAScript editors vs Adobe's ActionScript IDE. I can live without type inference in a dynamic language, but Visual Studio and Qt C

Are there really no JavaScript-capable IDEs out there that support code completion, jump to definition, re-factoring, etc? I don't see anything in the language that would preclude such features.

Photoshop Elements is actually a totally different product. Someone who's very comfortable with the Photoshop workflow might not like Elements at all. There actually was a Photoshop Light: Photoshop LE. I got a free copy of Photoshop 5.5 LE

The threads.h header comes directly from the Dinkumware Compleat C library. I would have preferred a stdthread.h with more pthread.h like struct/function naming.

It seems to me if ANY one group of people should be allowed to add new keywords to the user namespace, it should be the standard bearers. The whole _Keyword thing is something only a committee could love.

Reading the E4X spec, it says the XML stuff will be folded into future standards. That obviously has not come to pass. I'm guessing JSON is the reason.
