2013.05.20 - portion of interesting reading

recently came across few interesting stuff to read:

• homomorphic encryption – performing computations on encrypted data w/o deciphering them is no longer only a theory. there's more – 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…
• taskwarrior – nice, console tool for tasks management. features include: recurrent tasks, scheduled, deadlines, reminders, per-project separation, advanced filtering, and more.
• BASE: An Acid Alternative – introduction to BASE rules set, that scales better than ACID, thus is more common at scale.
• 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.
• GotW – Herb's guru of the week series is back. this time – C++11.

world is changing – stay tuned! :)
