I wrote a sample application using OsgQtQuick that shows the Earth in two views:
with the following QML, that I copied from OsgQtQuick samples:

A sample C++ code demonstrating why int is not atomic
The code below demonstrates why it is not guaranteed that 4-byte value being written by another thread is read either as original or final, but it can be read “partially written”:
static constexpr int offset=2;
alignas(64) char vars[64+4-offset];
static volatile unsigned * const p = reinterpret_cast<unsigned *>(&vars[64-offset]);
unsigned getVar()
{
return *p;
}
void loop()
{
while(true)
{
*p = -1;
*p = 0;
}
}
#include <thread>
#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <map>
int main()
{
std::thread thread(loop);
std::map<unsigned,int> xs;
for(int i=0;i<10000000;++i)
{
const auto x=getVar();
++xs[x];
}
for(const auto& x : xs)
std::cout << std::setfill('0') << std::setw(8) << std::hex << x.first << ": " << std::dec << x.second << " times\n";
std::exit(0); // exit, killing the thread without abnormal termination via std::terminate
}
Compiling the latest version of CMake from sources on Ubuntu
I was unable to add QML resources to a QT Quick application with CMake 2.8 installed on my machine, so I built the latest version of CMake with the following commands:
cd ~/examples mkdir tools cd tools mkdir install tar -xf ~/Downloads/cmake-3.9.1.tar.gz cd cmake-3.9.1/ ./configure --prefix=/home/dmitry/examples/tools/install/ make -j4 make install
Now my QT application is compiled and run successfully:
~/examples/tools/install/bin/cmake ../../OsgQmlTest/ -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DCMAKE_MODULE_PATH=/home/user/3rdpart/osg/CMakeModules/ -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/home/dmitry/examples/install make -j4 make install
Building OsgQtQuick on Ubuntu 14.04
The following section in OsgQtQuick‘s CMakeLists.txt:
find_package(OpenSceneGraph 3.0 REQUIRED osg osgQt osgDB osgGA osgManipulator osgUtil osgViewer osgText)
results in CMake searching for FindOpenSceneGraph.cmake file:

Qt Quick Controls 2 does not support TableView
Qt Quick Controls 2 does not support TableView and looks like they are not going to support it, some notable missing features from Qt Quick Controls 1 also are Action, SplitView and TreeView, so the following QML code would not work:
TableView {
TableViewColumn {
role: "time"
title: qsTr("date/time:")
width: parent.width - 30
}
TableViewColumn {
role: "score"
title: qsTr("result:")
width: 30
}
model: boardModel.list
ScrollIndicator.vertical: ScrollIndicator { }
}
But there is a solution with ListView, so there can be something like this:
Building OsgEarth on Ubuntu 14.04
I already had QT 5.5.1 with GCC 4.7.3 (and probably some libraries, including libcurl4-gnutls-dev, libgdal-dev, glut, that are installed, but not built) on my machine, so I built OSG with the following commands (I am not sure that it makes a sense to clone recursively, but making with ‘CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug’ can be better than with ‘debug’ or ‘DEBUG’, because CMAKE does case-sensitive compare. We can build osgEarth 2.8 against OSG 3.4 or osgEarth master branch against OSG 3.4 or newer..):
cd ~ mkdir examples cd examples mkdir install git clone --recursive https://github.com/openscenegraph/OpenSceneGraph.git git tag git reset --hard OpenSceneGraph-3.4.0 mkdir -p build/osg cd build/osg cmake ../../OpenSceneGraph/ -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/home/dmitry/examples/install make -j3 install export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/home/dmitry/examples/install/lib64 ~/examples/install/bin ./osgversiond
Configuring input languages in KDE
If you need Russian language, for example, in KDE you go to System Settings->Input Devices->Keyboard, press Add button and select it:
How to make Shift+NumPad keys select text and Ctrl+Ins/Shfit+Ins copy/paste in KDE (like as in MS Windows)
I worked a long time with MS Windows before, and when I started to work with KDE, the most annoying thing was that in KDE’s default configuration I was unable to use Shift+NumPad arrows/End/Home to select the text in a text edtor (QT Creator, for example) and copy/paste with Ctrl+Ins/Shift+Ins. This way of copying and pasting is the favorite for me, because Ctrl and Shift are big buttons located at the left side of the keyboard and Ins is one of the biggest right button, so they can be quickly used by both hands. Fortunately there is built-in setting in KDE that enables all my shortcuts:
Running PHP 5.3/5.6 in a Docker container with Nginx on Ubuntu 16.04
The docker installation procedure depends on the system architecture that can be determined with the following commands:
cat /proc/cpuinfo dpkg --print-architecture
After I installed Docker, I successfully run its test application:
docker run hello-world
Unable to find image 'hello-world:latest' locally latest: Pulling from library/hello-world b04784fba78d: Pull complete Digest: sha256:f3b3b28a45160805bb16542c9531888519430e9e6d6ffc09d72261b0d26ff74f Status: Downloaded newer image for hello-world:latest Hello from Docker! This message shows that your installation appears to be working correctly. To generate this message, Docker took the following steps: 1. The Docker client contacted the Docker daemon. 2. The Docker daemon pulled the "hello-world" image from the Docker Hub. 3. The Docker daemon created a new container from that image which runs the executable that produces the output you are currently reading. 4. The Docker daemon streamed that output to the Docker client, which sent it to your terminal. To try something more ambitious, you can run an Ubuntu container with: docker run -it ubuntu bash Share images, automate workflows, and more with a free Docker ID: https://cloud.docker.com/ For more examples and ideas, visit: https://docs.docker.com/engine/userguide/
