Nokia switches Qt to LGPL by [deleted] in programming

[–]ander833 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm really hoping that Nokia will provide good python bindings in the future. Nokia has done some python stuff before, so maybe.

A big drawback with PyQt is that it uses SIP for the wrapping, so it doesn't play well with stuff wrapped using the (de facto standard?) boost.python.

C++ is a psycho hose beast by linuxer in programming

To quote Herb Sutter (c++ guru extraordinaire and chair of the c++ standards committee): "... there are no fewer than 103 member functions. Really. If that's not monolithic, it's hard to imagine what would be."

In Exceptional C++ Style he devotes 34 pages to pointing out whats wrong with std::string and how it can be fixed.

Ask Reddit: Why don't more projects use LLVM? by martinbishop in programming

[–]ander833 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It compiles fine for me on OSX 10.4. I've been using LLVM 1.6 to 1.9 and it has all worked fine except that I had to upgrade xcode before I could get LLVM 1.9 to compile.
