Windows Subsystem for Linux allows to run Linux binaries directly under Windows. Next logical step might be to try to install Docker on the Linux, and then run images.
It might work, never tried. But, I’ve discovered (quite late – I have to admit) a way to ‘mount’ directly any Docker image as a subsystem for Windows 10.
What is needed:
Simple and useful snippet that helps to make an unique identifier for any type in C++.
template <typename T>
std::uintptr_t getTypeId() {
static int id;
return reinterpret_cast<std::uintptr_t>(&id);
}
It uses a fact that function static member of a function is a part of template installation, hence it contains own, unique address.
This is an extension to https://trzeci.eu/customize-conemu/ but int this case in a form of a tutorial / guideline that will help me (and maybe you) to mirror this setup.
The description shows how to configure conemu and clink, and display name of current branch:
Today it was announced that Mozilla, Microsoft, Google Chrome and Apple Webkit have got a support for binary format for JavaScript.
What does it mean for JavaScript developers? Nothing probably, they will continue doing JavaScript programming until some tool will compile plain JavaScript (or even ASM.JS subset) to binary format.
So, who is a target for this technology?
Mostly C++/C# developers. WebAssembly is a successor of ASM.JS that cooperates with Emscripten SDK. What is super important, it removes majority of constrains like:

Docker based solution was a test how Emscripten SDK can be simplified for usage on Linux and especially how it could be used in CI in non-intrusive way.
BitmapData doesn’t store each data what we would like to store.
If BitmapData contains transparency (from constructor argument, or loaded by Loader). It is possible to store R,G,B information in concrete pixel only if A component is not 0. That makes some problem with right texture support for Stage3D
I think that problem what I had on the beginning was that I tried to make something in perfect way. With perfect architecture. Sometimes it was almost over-engineered but I was proud because of that. I was so stupid. I waste so much time because of that.
Problem of this way of thinking is that I cannot be sure that some solution, or project will be the right one. Sometimes client just says “No, I don’t like it”. Sometimes it is OK, but after a while there is revolution in project and this particular feature will be trimmed off.
I think that it’s better to be able to create several prototypes in not right way. But this gives opportunity to choose the best one, and if I am sure that this is right way I can spend some time to improve it. Even I can delegate this to someone.
In other case I’ve got crap what has been written in perfect way.
