Intel Vulkan Mesa on Ubuntu 15.10
# Pre requisites
- Enable DRI3 as described in https://vulkan.lunarg.com/app/docs/v1.0.3.1/getting_started_linux
- Install a library for SHA, e.g. sudo apt-get install libgcrypt11-dev (if not already present)
- Otherwise the driver may throw an error with "_mesa_sha1_compute" when loading SPIR-V shaders
# Building
- Clone Mesa Master : git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa -b Master
- cd mesa
- autoreconf -vfi
- ./configure --with-dri-drivers=i965 --with-gallium-drivers= --with-sha1= --with-vulkan-drivers=intel

Build your own private, encrypted, open-source Dropbox-esque sync folder

Prerequisites:

  • One or more clients running a UNIX-like OS. Examples are given for Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, although all software components are available for other platforms as well (e.g. OS X). YMMV
  • A cheap Ubuntu 12.04 VPS with storage. I recommend Backupsy, they offer 250GB storage for $5/month. Ask Google for coupon codes.

Software components used:

  • Unison for file synchronization
  • EncFS for folder encryption

Make it real

Ideas are cheap. Make a prototype, sketch a CLI session, draw a wireframe. Discuss around concrete examples, not hand-waving abstractions. Don't say you did something, provide a URL that proves it.

Ship it

Nothing is real until it's being used by a real user. This doesn't mean you make a prototype in the morning and blog about it in the evening. It means you find one person you believe your product will help and try to get them to use it.

Do it with style

Orthodox C++

Orthodox C++

What is Orthodox C++?

Orthodox C++ (sometimes referred as C+) is minimal subset of C++ that improves C, but avoids all unnecessary things from so called Modern C++. It's exactly opposite of what Modern C++ suppose to be.

Why not Modern C++?
