====== 2013.05.20 - portion of interesting reading ======

recently came across few interesting stuff to read:
  * [[wp>homomorphic encryption]] -- performing computations on encrypted data w/o deciphering them is no longer [[http://crypto.stanford.edu/craig/craig-thesis.pdf|only a theory]]. there's more -- [[https://github.com/shaih/HElib|open source library for HE]] is now publicly available. just think about all of this in the context of cloud computing, or external company doing your tax return calculations...
  * [[http://taskwarrior.org|taskwarrior]] -- nice, console tool for tasks management. features include: recurrent tasks, scheduled, deadlines, reminders, per-project separation, advanced filtering, and more.
  * [[https://queue.acm.org/detail.cfm?id=1394128|BASE: An Acid Alternative]] -- introduction to [[wp>Eventual consistency|BASE]] rules set, that scales better than [[wp>ACID]], thus is more common [[blog:2013:04:22:architecture_for_scale|at scale]].
  * [[http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTM1NTg|Clang is C++11 feature complete]] -- since last month there is C++11 fully-compliant compiler, available for free. stable release is expected this summer.
  * [[http://herbsutter.com|GotW]] -- [[wp>Herb Sutter|Herb's]] guru of the week series is back. this time -- [[wp>C++11]].

world is changing -- stay tuned! :)
