Raspberry Pi, Qt 5, QML, Shaders

Some livecoding on a FullHD TV using a Raspberry Pi (a $25 computer with a 24GFLOPS GPU, see http://www.raspberrypi.org) running Qt5 (http://qt-project.org), QML, OpenGL shaders, and a little tool I made for live experiments with them.

Everything else by me (baldand on twitter)

Code for the app can be found from https://gitorious.org/quint

@snaip thanks, fixed now

That's just stupidly smart, I haven't programmed since I was a child on my Amstrad and now I want one of these so bad!

[dmbasso]

Wow, impressive!

All this video is telling me is that it can't run vim.

Well, I clearly didn't mean you should LITERALLY STFU. But if you have no idea what uses people are using the PI for (or any other system for that matter) you should at least make an effort to find out before you call it useless. that was my real point. but whatever.

@MustNotRead So i am not allowed to post anything on the topic because i have no idea what one does? I should just "stfu" Sounds to me like you dont know what the comment section is used for so you should be the one to "stfu" thats more embarrassing if you ask me.

Pretty damn good considering the cost and the size of the thing. Schools would be able to get one or two of those things PER STUDENT, and it's about time schoolchildren were introduced to Linux properly. Considering the amount of the average person's time spent working with computers, it's good to see that there's now a hope for people to learn to actually use them in schools.

@wuskul, have you any idea how much power/money running a few hundred computers at a time actually takes? Fool.

@wuskul

if you have no idea of the potential uses of this device and don't want one - STFU...it's easy.

@xslr

Who gives a fuck about power consumption its hardly anything to worry about! LMFAO

If i wanted portability i would buy an ipad or a laptop.

[xslr]

@wuskul How about the power consumption and portability of your computer? If you don't see the point of this, you are better off without it.

Very cool. I've not seen either Rasberry Pi running anything other than XBMC, nor anything having to do with QT/QML. I like it alot!

Good for you. Enjoy your time warp!
