Yes, HiDPI support was added. I need it for Windows 4k screens.

Nevertheless, a very clear verbal agreement should have been made. I know this cant be enforced without proof, but it does mean than those involved know the counter-parties also know what they agreed to. it makes things harder to deny.
The reason being that, it would be madness to betray each other, just as things start to work. A thing started is far from finished, and they will need everyone and more.
Most important of all, it would seem the tech guy legally owns what he has built, in the absence of a proper agreement. Even with a backup copy of this tech, the remaining people aren't likely to be able to extend it easily.
The tech guy should consider forming his own startup with the tech he has made.
There are also certain words and phrases that it gets wrong much of the time. I have learnt to not use these when making voice notes. There's definitely a learning curve to use voice effectively.
i took this one by ozzy https://www.shadertoy.com/view/lsSGWw and tweaked a few things by hand for optimization. saved a few cycles on the code and increased the iterations to 13, which gives a better result.
like this:
#define ITERATIONS 13.0 #define SPEED 10.0 #define DISPLACEMENT 0.05 #define YOFFSET 0.1 #define YSCALE 0.25 #define FLAMETONE vec3(50.0, 5.0, 1.0)
uniform lowp sampler2D source; // this item
uniform lowp sampler2D chan0; // random map
uniform lowp float qt_Opacity; // inherited opacity of this item
varying highp vec2 qt_TexCoord0;
uniform highp float time; // shader playback time (in seconds)
float noise( in vec3 x ) // iq noise function
{
vec3 p = floor(x);
vec3 f = fract(x);
f = f*f*(3.0-2.0*f);
vec2 uv = (p.xy+vec2(37.0,17.0)*p.z) + f.xy;
vec2 rg = texture2D( chan0, (uv + 0.5)/256.0, -100.0 ).yx;
return mix( rg.x, rg.y, f.z ) * 2.0 - 1.0;
}
void main()
{
vec2 uv = vec2(qt_TexCoord0.s, (1.0 - qt_TexCoord0.t));
float nx = 0.0;
float ny = 0.0;
float i;
for (i=1.0; i<=ITERATIONS; i = i + 1.0)
{
float ifrac = i/ITERATIONS;
float d = (1.0-ifrac) * DISPLACEMENT;
ifrac *= time;
float ii = i*i;
float y = uv.y*YSCALE*ii - ifrac * SPEED;
float x = uv.x*ii;
nx += noise( vec3(x-ifrac, y, 0.0)) * d * 2.0;
ny += noise( vec3(x+ifrac, y, ifrac/ii)) * d;
}
uv.x += nx;
uv.y += ny;
// a blob shape to distort
float flame = clamp( sin(uv.x*3.1416) - uv.y+YOFFSET, 0.0, 1.0 );
flame *= flame; // f^2
float ft = flame*flame; // f^4
flame *= ft*ft; // f^10
//lowp vec3 col = pow(flame, TIGHTNESS) * FLAMETONE;
lowp vec3 col = flame * FLAMETONE;
// tonemapping
col = col / (1.0+col);
// ~sqrt
//col = pow(col, vec3(1.0/2.2));
col = sqrt(col);
col = clamp(col, 0.0, 1.0);
lowp vec4 p = texture2D(source, qt_TexCoord0);
p.xyz = col;
gl_FragColor = p * qt_Opacity;
}It does this:
* knows which files are source code and which are not * ignores tmp files like ~ and # * automatic recursive search.
Some differences from ACK which i still want,
* can be given a filename pattern and can glob within each directory. * can search binary files too! * doesn't do regexp at all!
> why? regexp is much slower than straight string search if using something like Boyer-Moore-Galil, and this is important when you're searching massive subtrees of files.
For regexp, I'll use grep with its fancy options. For straight, find this string in all my code, I'll use qgrep.
For those linker undefined, mangled functions, it's great to qgrep the .o files and .libs.
There's been none of the apocalyptic predictions. In fact the FTSE100 is higher than it was before the referendum. There's going to be a short period of adjustment, but in the long run we're better out. The pound is down because all the banks bet billions on Remain and lost - including Virgin.
Remainders have been deluded by the EU ideal that is not the reality. the EU is the privatisation of government, and in collusion with big business. They hate democracy.
They kept, until after the referendum, the plans to start the EU army and the takeover of national central banks. This will happen to the 27 unless they get out. The EU will acquire competency over taxation, including corporation tax and income tax. They already control VAT (sales tax). VAT went up to 20% (from 17.5%) following handover to the EU. Almost all that difference goes to EU funding.
The cost of membership of the EU is rising every year. Why do we need to fund both a national government and an international one. It's all just greed.
So if you think you're working from your own compiled official version, you're not.
also, i like the idea of the composer, but the rephrasing only works on small phrases (that are easy), when actually bigger ones would be the real value here.
WIP i guess?
I havent tried the Qt services yet (plan for next week). I hope they work!
This is a lot easier than my JNI battles with Android Java.
I tend to have a lot of backend C++, which performs all the heavy lifting of my apps. I like to make the front UI as thin as possible. QML lets me build things quite fast and i like the way that properties update themselves.
The only real complaint i have with QtQuick/QML is things not working properly on Android. But I'm hoping this situation will improve, and the main reason I'm looking into Controls.2
You say that jquery can call to C++. Where can i find out about this and how would this work on Android.
My conclusions are that it's fantastic for desktop apps, but I'm having a lot less success with mobile, specifically Android.
Originally, my plan was to reserve QT for desktop and write the mobile versions separately, whilst sharing the same C++ backend. However, i got tempted to try cross compiling my desktop version for Android.
After a massive battle, it works - a bit. But there's enough that doesn't work that prevents me from making a release just yet (cut & paste is missing!). Looks like I'll have to fill in the blanks myself.
Then Android is always a pig. I'm chewing over whether to recompile QT from source and start hacking it about for Android. This is what Ive had to do with pretty much all the cross platform systems. Android support is always poor and buggy.
On LGPL, I'm fine with it. If you want my QML source code, sure. But for now, I'll keep the backend DLL/.so closed (although I'd like to open that too, when ready). If you want to be able to change the front end and rebuild, I'm ok with that too. in fact, I'll happily document the backend interface for you.
Can we have more Controls.2 QML examples please (most are recycled v1 examples). QtQuick lacks in the tutorial department, although the online docs are good, once you know what you're looking for.
qmake is great, but qtcreator sucks, sorry. Qt widgets is obsolete, QtQuick is the way, once you get over QML.
I put my own QML into resources, but windeployqt.exe pulls in a big chunk of their own QML into the deployment. huh? these should all be resource.
My "hello world" app is 30MB, so yes this too.
Its important to recognise that QtQuick and QtWidgets are _different_ systems. Quick is all on the GPU. It awesome for building touch based apps. I'm currently targeting desktop development. I haven't found much else that will use the GPU pipeline in an easy way.
They will refuse to pay.
When i look at my note taking activity it works out as follows; (1) desktop use, when I'm sitting at my desk, I'll either type a note or cut from the Internet. (2) mobile use is mostly access, but creation here is usually by sharing something from another app. (3) dictation from Android Wear accounts for around 1/3 of all new notes.
(3) is quite important to me so that i can make new notes on the go. for example, today i met a friend for lunch. i dictated one note walking on the way and 3 on the way back from our chat - while these things were fresh in my mind.
Dictation from Wear works remarkably well. providing. you. say. each. word. clearly. it really helps to get around 99% correct.
Regarding organisation, you're right about this too. basically as the number of notes grows, the problem of organising them increases. People don't want to do the organising, so there needs to be a self-organising system. It's easy to see how this might be done with pictures, but for text notes, it's not so clear.
Of course, search needs to work really well too!
The problem with this kind of endeavour is how to convince people their genuine need for it. I call this the, "green eggs and ham" paradox.
People will say they make lists on paper, or in a pocket book. They say; Oh it's just a notepad, or Why not use Google Keep? Or, why are you taking on Evernote?
But the truth is, they lose those bits of paper, Google Keep gets overcrowded after a few dozen things and Evernote is clunky and _really quite expensive_.
For years, i've been putting my information into digital form, but i've yet to find the ideal app for it. So much so that i've begun to develop my own. Unfortunately, yours doesn't work for me either (eg major requirement, offline access).
But the principle still stands that there's a growing need for a digital means to accommodate personal information, because there's simply too much junk for the human brain to remember it all.
I've looked at a number of other online note-taking systems. none seem to be gaining much traction, but i don't know why.
