hey, I still remember the wxCanvas stuff. this is really oldschool, apart from the fact that I'am GUI-less.
thanks anyhow, wx was cool last time I used it! (1994?)

thanks for the hint, but a function call with a handle as 1st arg ist really too c-ish even for me, I'll stick to Qt, ACE and Boost.
thanks anyhow for clearing up the technology!!!

Swarm — a New Approach To Distributed Computation 80
An anonymous reader writes "Ian Clarke, creator of Freenet, has been working on a new open source project called Swarm. The concept is to allow a computer program to be distributed across multiple computers in a manner almost completely transparent to the programmer. The system observes the program executing and figures out how the workload should be distributed for maximum efficiency. Swarm is implemented in Scala. Its at an early-prototype stage, and Ian has created a good 36 minute video explaining the concept and the current implementation."
Submission + - Platform independent C++ OS Library?
quench writes: Hello! I have been away from Windows and Linux application software for 5 years or so, doingly mainly C-like embedded C++ programming.
Now, I am about to start a project emulating embedded hardware on Windows. Been there, doing #ifdef WIN32 and #ifdef LINUX stuff, don't really want to go there any more. What I actually need is a platform independent lib covering Windows and Linux variants to handle sockets, IPC and threads abstractions. And a rock solid but simple embedded database to emulate flash memory.
My reflex said, go for ACE (http://www.cs.wustl.edu/~schmidt/ACE-overview.html) and Berkley-DB (http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/berkeley-db/index.html).
Tell me, am I out of time? Am I missing something new and trendy, easier to use and better? Did time stand still?

well getting hardware information of this kind could practically be used as seed for random numbers.
