I am developing an app for Nokia N9. Cause I need to draw things, I use class inherited from QWidget and on paintEvent I use QPainter to draw a line.
It works, but line is aliased on my device, and antialiased on simulator.
I seems, that setRenderHints does not work at all and have no effect.
painter.setRenderHint(QPainter::Antialiasing, true);
The text is aliased (drawText), but line is not. If I do:
painter.setRenderHint(QPainter::TextAntialiasing, false);
Text is still aliased on N9 and not aliased in simulator. I'm stuck.
there is hdge community of N9 and MeeGo developers willing to answer them, when only you will ask them question. You are to look for in: their forums and quickest way in meego devs chat. As Nokia N9 is common and MeeGo community share knowleadge and help I think you will find there help. Some places I thik you should visit:
IRC Channel
We use IRC for a variety of real-time conversations: meetings, discussion, troubleshooting, collaboration, chatting with other contributors, and more. Before joining, you should read our guidelines for participation and our community communication document.
Primary Channels
meego at irc.freenode.net: 24/7 open discussion.
meego-meeting at irc.freenode.net: scheduled IRC meetings.
Additional channels: focused on specific project topics.
Additional Information
If you are new to IRC, http://webchat.freenode.net/ and the IRC Prelude are good starting points.
At some point, you might miss an IRC client. There is probably one already installed in your system. Otherwise, there are plenty of free alternatives to choose from.

I'm newbie in back-end development, that's why I want to start learning not from pure coding but choosing framework. Want to understand, how it works and start writing unique code by myself.
I've tried to choose framework basing on my future project and couldn't do it without the qualified help. I've searched before to write here, but couldn't find all I need. I don't ask for deep pieces of advice, manuals or so here. Hope, that you as more experienced can show me few ways and I'll choose the one by myself.
What I need to do with framework capabilities:
Forum:
one (or crossing) users' database with site
one header and footer for forum and site
changeble design themes (full CSS support)
groups' rights and design
user's rights and design
moderators, admins, plain users
forum sections, that could be nested
themes
visual post formatting
images inserting
symbols counting in posts
symbols counting for each user in theme
Site:
same to forum users, their groups and rights
user profile with settings
guest book
education module: timetable by user group, courses with lessons, homework sending/discussing, homework statuses, marks/journal of all users and user groups, educational statistics for user groups
public user profile with text form data and all marks, forum activity, statuses and other information
autoposting some data from user profile to forum and updating it when changing the profile
inactivation/activation/ban for user accounts
IP viewing for admins: can see, what users/forum's messages have the same IP
messenger: private chats, private and public chat groups, auto-adding users to chats by users' group
private user notes, that are visible only for admins
bonus accrual
store, when users can change bonuses for virtual goods and session of playing game for random gifts
visual map, where everyone can see all forum sections and what users are on them
plain newspaper: issues with structured articles (a la usual blog posts), commenting for users, offering article feature
I know, that it's so much, but project is mine. And it can be developing for a long time. If I need to study a year or few, it's okay.
How do you think, what frameworks have the most of modules for described functional? Please, don't argufy. Write here if you had experience (or you know somebody who had) of realising features, that're described above.
Programming language doesn't matter (because I'm noob in all of them), but I think about Ruby and PHP (and PHPBB forum). Others are ok too, if them can afford what I need.
Sorry if I unknowingly said something wrong. Tell me and I'll fix it.
Your wanting to build a lot for someone that knows nothing about any languages.
First you need to pick a platform/OS.. Windows or Unix/Linux?
From there, you can pick a Web Server to run on based on that OS.
Then that filters out what kind of language your going to write with.
EDIT:
When someone wants to be a mechanic, do they go to each mechanic shop and ask what is the best car to work on? Each mechanic would have a different answer. No one here, will be able to give you a non-bias answer. So here is what I like....
I write code in 18 languages and been have developed software for 25 years. I've written code for DOS, Windows, and Linux/Unix. Each language has it's own limitation and perfections, but I'm not a fan of open source and most Linux/Unix preferred languages even though some can run on Windows. I have a tendency to lean towards windows and enjoy back end development. I've written Web UIs in Angular, JSP, Java Spring Boot, WebFOCUS and ASP Classic. Now that you know more about me, here are my favorites.
I prefer Windows. I prefer C#. If I have to build a web UI, I prefer HTML 5/CSS3/Javascript with an ASP.NET/C# backend. I don't like bootstrap or jquery as I like to write with a small footprint as do most any older developer. The internet is full of garbage that isn't being used by most every site you go to, just so the developer can get a few shortcuts. Bootstrap and JQuery are just javascript libraries of which most sites can do what they want with 1/10 the code the client has to download, if they really knew Javascript.
There ya go, my bias opinion, take it or leave it, but most likely the only honest answer your going to get here.
I am the manager of a small IRC server of 100-300 simultaneous connected users since now 8 years, I am under UnrealIRCd. I see many competitors replacing their UnrealIRCd by InspIRCd and I would like to understand why they do that?
What are the benefits of InspIRCd?
There are many ways you can compare the two IRC servers, a good comparison could be found at Comparison of Internet Relay Chat daemons
Few additions as well are:
Both ircd projects are up to date.
Both have a rich modules libraries.
Both have a good recent commit history & issue tracker.
They have almost the same feature support, although InspIRCD is in favor.
For me personally, i prefer InspIRCD, i feel they have the edge, with accepting new ideas and implementing features.
At the end, base on those comparison, it doesn't really matter, both of them are doing a great job all around, and are well distinguished between others.
I am part of a growing software project with at least 200 active developer in 10 locations. I would like to set up an on-line chat forum for developers because I think it would help to coordinate efforts. We have an email mailing list but I feel like some questions or announcements are too informal to send to everyone while mentioning it in a chat forum might be a useful community resource.
I have never participated in a software project that used an on-line chat forum so I would like to hear about peoples experiences. I am particularly interested in technical issues: Use of IRC vs. alternative platforms; how to manage access, eg. for developers only, allowing users to participate; the value of requiring certain announcements to be made on the chat forum eg who is resolving broken builds etc.
If I pitch the idea to the community I would like to have some good arguments why it would be a good idea and some prospective of its usefulness in other software projects.
The features you MOST want for such informal discussions are:
persistance (I have't used IRC in >decade, does it persist chats that you missed?)
Searcheability
Classification (tagging) to help sort through the stuff.
Considering those 3, I'd strongly suggest some sort of discussion software (microblog, Wiki, forum) with RSS feed.
It's a great platform for informal discussions. It's flexible, users can self-organize and its extensible. We have tied CI build results and SCM commits. Further, given the availability of multiple consumption streams (web, terminal) anyone can join with little notice.
I think the previous poster is over-stating the importance of the contents of this conversation and who the heck wants to maintain discussion software? Blergh.
I hope I am not repeating any previously asked question.
Anyway, so Google Wave is nice and shiny and sounds like a lot of folks(at least at Google I/O :) used it in a useful for work(!) way. I've been beta-testing Google Wave for sometime now, but can't quite grasp how to improve our workflow using it. We have a medium size team of developers that are spread out around US and Europe and naturally most of communication is happening via IM and Skype and email of course. So what are specific things that could be offloaded to Google Wave to improve collaboration by leaps and bounds(meaning not just replacing IM with nicer IM)?
I do not think Google Wave will ever replace "communication" tools, so you won't be able to offload much in terms of IM/Skype/email (and imho the ping feature in Google wave kinda sucks).
What's it's great for is collaboratively and concurrently editing content in the chaotic initial phase, be it documentation, emails, press releases or whatever. Then once documents are stable I find it's easier to manage them as Google docs, which can still be versioned but in a more mature environment.
Also, I think Wave would be great for concurrent programming, and I am hoping someone will put together a code-completion/syntax-highlighting extension for concurrent programming (would do it myself if I had time). it would change "pair programming forever", and at least that way the other wouldn't just sit there occasionally trying to grab your keyboard!
Notifications.
Unload the daily/hourly/whatever notifications about people pushing git updates, how many errors were found, etc onto Wave for people to monitor and respond to instead of making them filter all sorts of email notifications.
Hey, youll be happy to know Devunity.com is finishing up a Google Wave/App Engine + Eclipse Perspective team collaboration. it will let you post your code automatically into a created wave and syntax highlight it side by side with your current code.
be sure to check for updates http://beta.devunity.com.
coming soon! :)
We're working on a desktop app here that leverages email communication to help teams succeed with projects. The app represents email communication in channels, as chats, and adds project related info so that all ownerships and requests could be tracked.
It is in "beta" but check it out, may be there is a fit for your team: http://yoxel.com/personal-commitment-manager.html
Hi I'm currently doing some independent development on the iPhone and Mac. Loving the freedom but the single biggest thing I miss about working with a team of developers is the opportunity to talk through design choices and issues with other developers.
I'm not talking about general "humm ..." questions (there is stackoverflow for that ;)) I'm talking about things that are not for public consumption or are very specific to your application. I'm thinking about something that is a little more interactive (for example screen sharing and chatting).
Does such a thing exist?
There are Cocoaheads groups in various cities, that usually have monthly meetings... also there are NSCoder groups, that have a bunch of people working together for a day or so once a week.
IRC sounds like a good place for such discussions. Some iPhone development related channels you may be interested in:
